Curly shag layers create a lively and dynamic hairstyle. The top layers provide lift near the crown while the lower layers maintain fullness. This haircut works especially well for medium-length curls because it encourages movement and bounce.
To create curly shag layers, divide the hair into horizontal sections beginning at the crown. Lift each section upward and trim small amounts from the ends. The layers should gradually decrease in length from top to bottom.
Because curly hair shrinks when dry, it is important to trim conservatively. After cutting the layers, allow the curls to settle naturally. The shag structure becomes visible as the curls form individual shapes throughout the hairstyle.
