Created by Paul McGregor, the shag features uneven layers all around which gives the hairstyle a subtle lift. It’s an abstract cut that showcases a lot of movement and vigor. Jennifer Aniston created a whole new standard for the cut when she debuted the infamous “The Rachel” shag back in the mid 90’s. It’s a far cry from the spiky version of the 80’s shag but still just as iconic.

Short shag hairstyles tend to look a bit sharp, but with the right touch of waves the whole look modifies. Rihanna’s hair is cut asymmetrically into a short shag, giving this look a bit of an edge. What most certainly effeminates her look is the middle parting, side-swept long bangs and the firm, well defined curls.

This…..Is……Fabulous! The gorgeous ‘300: Rise of an Empire’ actress attended the Los Angeles Premiere sporting an angled bob with loads of texture. Effortless waves resulted in a disheveled look that’s far too hip to ignore. A hair product (we like Aquage Uplifting Foam) with a good texturizing power with zero build up is what you need to make this work. Apply a small amount before curling your mane.
