The shag hairstyle has been around since the 1970s. It is a timeless cut and is always in fashion. Small changes can be made to it to give it an update and keep it lively: a little shorter here or a little longer there or more or less curly. The model above has hers blown out straight but the layers and color really create movement.

The characteristics that make up this hairdo are layers that keep the fullness at the top, fringes, and short meaning cut at or above the shoulder.

Some popular celebrities over the decades have sported this shaggy chic look like Florence Henderson who played Carol Brady on the Brady Bunch back in the early 70s and Lisa Rinna.

Florence's version was short on the top and sides with longer pieces in the rear that flipped up. A more modern version has been popularized by actress Lisa Rinna who has kept this look for many years and she always looks great in it.

If you watch Friday Night Lights, you know who Aimee Teegarden is. She plays Julie Taylor on this popular TV series and she has a very cute look here with her simple sedu hairstyle with bangs. She has a few layers cut around the front to add a little texture to this otherwise sleek 'do. Her light brown color is highlighted with honey blonde and a lighter shade to add depth. Her shiny lip gloss looks smashing with her bright red party dress.

Scarves are very popular this season and it's hip to be bold and bright. This woman is wearing her scarf wrapped around her head and neck. What an easy way to look great even when there is no time to style the hair. Just a bit of the bang is showing as it is tucked under this accessory. Just open it out and drape over the top making sure to not secure it too tightly as it wraps around and then tucks in back.

The top of this hairdo is straight and smooth and her bangs are as well.  She has pretty red locks that look lovely with her peaches and cream complexion. Her veil is draped across her forehead in an asymmetrical way.
