3. Shoulder-Skimming Shag with Curtain Bangs
How to Create
The shoulder-skimming shag incorporates high-elevation layers throughout the mid-lengths and crown, paired with feathered curtain bangs that part softly down the center. This design relies on distributed vertical texture to disperse visual weight away from the lower jawline and throat. The curtain bangs open at the bridge of the nose and sweep outward toward the cheekbones, creating an upward diagonal line that accentuates bone structure. By keeping the perimeter light and feathered rather than dense and blunt, the hair drapes naturally past the neck without forming a heavy horizontal block around the submental area. This cut works well for thick, wavy, or coarse hair textures requiring internal weight reduction.

| MID-LENGTH SHAG GEOMETRY |

| Curtain Bangs: Nose-bridge to cheekbone arch |
| Mid-Section: 180-degree interior weight removal |
| Perimeter Line: Feathered shoulder-skimming tips |

To execute this cut, section the fringe area into a central triangle and slice downward from the center outward, directing the longest points toward the cheekbone vertices. Elevate the remaining hair across the top and sides to one hundred and eighty degrees, using slide-cutting techniques to establish cascading, textured layers that remove bulk. Soften the base perimeter with texturizing shears to ensure fluid, separated movement along the collarbone. To style, apply a sea salt spray or texturizing lotion to damp strands. Use a diffuser on medium heat while lightly cupping the hair upward to encourage natural wave formation, and polish the curtain bangs by rolling them back with a medium round brush.
