The shag layering technique involves multiple shorter layers near the crown. These layers gradually lengthen toward the ends of the hair. This structure encourages volume near the top while maintaining movement through the lower sections. The result is a dynamic hairstyle that appears relaxed and textured.
Curtain bangs complement shag layers by softening the overall shape. The bangs help balance the textured layers by framing the face gently. Because the bangs open outward, they connect smoothly with the surrounding layers.
To create this haircut, start by sectioning the front hair to form the curtain bangs. Trim the bangs gradually so they remain shorter near the center and longer toward the sides. Once the bangs are complete, divide the rest of the hair into horizontal sections.
Lift each section upward and trim small portions to form shag layers. The upper layers should remain shorter than the lower sections. Continue trimming gradually while checking the shape frequently. After finishing the haircut, allow the hair to fall naturally so the shag layers and curtain bangs blend together.
