Shag haircuts for men have become incredibly popular over the past year and it is easy to see why: they are very flattering and require little or no maintenance.
So, what exactly is a shag haircut? Well, it is a creative haircut that leaves your hair looking deliberately tousled, messy and edgy.
Shag haircuts first became popular back in the 70s when they were popular amongst rock stars and big names in Hollywood. It soon became a mainstream hairstyle with women as well, until the craze finally died out in the early 80s.
Today, this well-loved hairstyle is favored by skaters, surfers and guys who want a fashionable hairstyle that will take them from work, to drinks with friends, to parties and everything in between.
Examples of celebrities who are currently rocking their shag haircuts include Ashton Kutcher, Justin Bieber, Barry Watson, Jesse Spencer, Josh Holloway and Vigo Mortensen.
Shag haircuts can be short, medium or longer length- it is entirely up to you how long you want your style to be.
Typically, your shag haircut will be layered and will add some nice volume and depth, making it perfect for guys with thinning hair.

This full shag haircut for men gives your plenty of volume, a lot of character and is surprisingly low maintenance. In fact, the less maintenance the better and the best part is that you can wear it with a full beard as well!
The Shaggy Side Sweeper.
For guys who like a bit of length, this side-swept shag haircut is a great choice. It’s also a wonderful choice if you have thin hair and want to introduce a bit of volume and depth.
The Longer Shaggy Hairstyle.
Guys with thin, straight hair often struggle with longer hairstyles, but not with this longer shaggy style which is layered, side-swept and gives the impression that your hair is thicker than it actually is.
As mentioned, shag haircuts don’t need to be expertly styled every morning. In fact, they are very low maintenance and less styling actually makes your hair look better!
Even better news is that the shag haircut suits most hair and face types and will help to accentuate your best features. This makes it a very versatile hairstyle and you are able to wear it as messy and as tousled as you want.
When you get a shag haircut at Well Groomed Gentleman Barbershop, we will layer your hair on the top and at the sides and cut it short or let it sit on your shoulders. The result will be a spectacular hairstyle with a great tousled look.
If you need to look smart for the office, we recommend a shorter shag haircut, which will give you both professionalism as well as a lot of character.
