By hair type
With medium lengths of fine hair, this cut helps to create extra volume. However, here it is important not to overdo it with the depth of thinning. This can make your hair too thin.
For curly and curly hair, a haircut is ideal. She gives the necessary shape to very curly hair. With the help of deep thinning, you can easily remove excess volume and lay curls with artistic randomness. Slightly wavy hair is simply given a splendor, from which there is an impression of lightness. Girls with straight hair will also go for a shaggy haircut. An exception may be hair that is too coarse, which bristles inaccurately with different lengths of strands.
You can also do this hairstyle for long hair. However, these curls without styling can get tangled during the day. Therefore, if a short haircut is unacceptable, you should opt for a medium length haircut. It looks impressive and does not create additional difficulties for a long time.

By face type
"Shaggy" is ideal for girls with a round face and chubby cheeks. A haircut will help to visually stretch the face, and elongated strands will make the cheeks smaller. But there is also an option that will help slightly expand the elongated face. This is a haircut with shorter strands at the back of the head. It creates a lush volume at the crown, which visually expands the oval of the face.
If the face has disturbed proportions, then they can be corrected with the help of abundant thinning. Lush, structured strands diffuse attention, preventing you from focusing on some imbalance.

With and without bangs
With the help of a "shaggy" hairstyle with bangs for medium-length hair, it is possible to hide some age-related changes. So, long straight or oblique bangs will help hide wrinkles on the forehead, and strands near the face will hide crow's feet in front of our eyes.

How to stack?
In order to correctly perform shaggy styling or to frequently change images with its help, you need to know the technique of performing such a haircut, as well as the presence of accents that the master makes on the hair.
So, a shaggy haircut is performed by creating strands of different lengths. To increase the volume, the hair is cut at a certain angle, which can be 45-90 degrees. But the splendor of the hairstyle is given by thinning.By performing this process, the master thinns the total volume of the hair by cutting off some strands. This is necessary to give the haircut a certain shape.
A small thinning will leave a significant amount of volume at the bottom, and a deep one will remove a large amount of hair. And if the second option is undesirable, then it is necessary to inform the master about this even before starting the haircut.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/715-0/2019/01/strizhka-sheggi-na-srednie-volosy-osobennosti-sovety-po-podboru-i-ukladke.jpg)
It is important to understand that the thinning process cannot be stopped in the middle, since half of the hair has already been removed, and the hairstyle cannot remain one-sided or with bald patches.
Modern fashion trends suggest that the shaggy haircut is relevant in a classic variation. This involves creating a chaotic, explosive, casual effect. It is necessary to focus on these trends in the process of creating styling. Haircut modeling can be performed using mousses, varnishes and gels. But moderation is important here, since a large amount of the composition can make the hairstyle heavier, thereby reducing all efforts to zero.

You can use wax to create a "zest" when styling curly hair. It must be applied to some strands and straightened with an iron. Such a contrast of curls and straight sections will make the hairstyle much more interesting.
In order to style any hair, you can use several methods:
- a hairdryer using styling products;
- apply hairpins;
- use only hands.

When creating styling, do not forget about the bangs. Its design depends on the purpose. This can be either hiding wrinkles or completing the image or creating accents on the merits of the face. Most often, masters use the following options for bangs:
- torn;
- oblique;
- an even straight line.

The first two are sometimes combined, which adds chaos to the hairstyle. Straight bangs are the classic option. Straight hair creates an interesting contrast to the overall carelessness of the hair. It is worth noting that the shaggy haircut looks good without the bangs. Often with such a haircut, styling is done on a side parting, which looks more modern.
In order to achieve greater randomness in the entire volume of the head, you can resort to additional life hacks. For example, after washing the hair and applying the product, the strands are pinned up and allowed to dry or blow-dry. This option provides maximum splendor to the haircut.
If you want to distract the attention of others from the imperfections of the face, you can lay the strands in the form of small curls. It will also help increase the volume. In order to hide the asymmetry of the face oval, you can comb most of the hair to one side. This solution will not only be useful, but also stylish.
