Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal
A softer, modern take on the shag haircut, this look features heavily razored long layers paired with a wispy bottleneck fringe. The center of the forehead remains open while wispy tendrils hit at the cheekbones and collarbones, breaking up circular facial lines.
Step-by-Step Execution & Cutting Guide
-
Establish a shattered perimeter using a styling razor to keep the ends light and textured.
-
Cut a bottleneck fringe that starts narrow and short between the eyebrows and curves down to the mid-cheekbone.
-
Carve shorter layers across the crown and upper occipital bone to generate airy root lift.
-
Razor-slice through the mid-lengths to create separation and a lived-in look.
-
Detail the dry ends by point-cutting small channels for maximum piecey movement.

Pro Styling & Everyday Application Tips
-
Spray damp hair with sea salt mist from mid-lengths to ends.
-
Scrunch hair gently with a microfiber towel and dry with a diffuser on low heat.
-
Pinch the ends of the cheek-framing pieces with a dab of matte styling clay for crisp separation.
