We’re calling it: shags and mullets are the official haircuts of the Coronavirus pandemic era. Whether it’s because they’re seemingly easy to do at home or just because they’re the kind of random thing TikTok has made viral, people are giving themselves shag haircuts left, right, and center, with plenty of videos to prove it.

But just because you can pick up a pair of scissors and start hacking at your hair doesn’t mean that you’re qualified to give yourself a shag haircut. That’s why Brad Mondo—the internet’s favorite hair stylist—has released a new video teaching you how to give yourself a shag haircut without ruining your hair.

Key tips and tricks include putting your hair into a brushed-out high ponytail, cutting layers while your hair is in the ponytail, putting your hair back down, sectioning it, overdirecting it forward, and cutting more layers around the face, almost like a curtain bang. Though, beware, even Brad Mondo himself will warn you that this isn’t exactly a beginner’s haircut, so try it at your own risk.

So watch the video to get more details about how to achieve this DIY shag – and may the hair gods be with you.

Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish have inspired a new hair trend—the shag. The choppy ends, tons of layers, and bold texture are so ’70s, but celebrities have managed to make it look trendy in 2021. And to get the look, TikTok users have been chopping off their ponytails. We’re not seeing tons of shags and mullets all over the platform.

So, how are people creating the perfect shag? They’re slicking their hair back into a high ponytail and cutting off a few inches from the ends straight across. Then they’re taking scissors and cutting vertically into the ends of the hair for more texture and to keep the ends from being blunt. This helps create a straight line.

One of the first TikTokers to start cutting her hair into a shag was Florasandfaunas and the results were better than we would’ve expected. She already had some layers in her hair, so the final result was just a bit shorter. Before long, others started creating their own versions of the look.

The haircut is shorter in the front and longer in the back, giving it total mullet vibes. While it’s worked for some TikTokers, for others it’s ended with choppy, uneven hair and they had to get it fixed by a professional. If you’re looking to get a shag, we suggest going to the salon.

Sure, shag haircuts aren’t new, but they’re making a major comeback this year with celebrities rocking the ’70s hairstyle. The shag has been updated for 2021 with curls, layers, and long curtain bangs making it more modern and wearable. It’s quickly become the most-requested hairstyle this year and these celebrities can’t seem to get enough of it.

Kristen Bell

The Good Place actress posted her new shag haircut with wispy bangs on Instagram captioning it “Goodmorning beautiful soul”. The haircut looks effortlessly chic and super on-trend.

Billie Eilish

After dying her signature green and black hairdo a bright shade of blonde, the “Bad Guy” singer sent fans into a frenzy with this modern taken on a long-layered shag.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez wore this choppy, layered shag with wispy bands back in 2020 and we’re loving the caramel highlights that stand out against her natural dark brown hair.

Barbie Ferreira

The Euphoria star takes many risks with her hair like rocking mullets and bobs, but we love this soft shag she wore last summer.

Maisie Williams

The Game of Thrones stars loves trying out new hairstyles and colors including this fun pastel pink wavy shag with bangs.

The beauty world has changed significantly this year. Since the pandemic started, we realized that we can get away with much less and the beauty trends quickly shifted to reflect our new reality. When it comes to hairstyles, they are now casual and easy to maintain, even without professional help. This trend will continue into the next year and the trendiest hairstyle will be the shag haircut. 

The shag haircut is simple and can be easily maintained. Since we’re still living in the pandemic world, we need to be prepared for situations where we can’t reach the stylist easily. And since our social lives are poorer than ever, it’s not like we need our hair to look flawless at any point. This haircut has layers, texture, and plenty of volume, so it’s a statement on its own. It works great on shorter or longer hair and doesn’t require too much effort in the morning.

For the best effect, make sure your stylist isn’t cutting too many layers. The cut needs to look effortless and natural, and the trendiest version of it comes with curtain bangs that frame your face.

The shag haircut is a style that flatters all face shapes and all styles. It’s a timeless cut that just so happens to be trending harder than ever this season. Here’s all the shag inspo you need to book your next appointment at the salon.

The Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung has been rocking the shag cut since she slid out the womb. Her loose, messy waves are her signature style. Instead of bangs, Chung frames her face with shorter, choppy layers.

The Long, Curly Shag

Long, curly hair makes for a gorgeous shag haircut. Rather than busting out the flat iron, embrace your curly fringe for a liberated, relaxed hairstyle.

The Balayage Shag

For a more polished shag cut, treat your waves to balayage coloring. It is a great way to splash some natural-looking highlights in your hair and embrace a relaxed yet elegant style.

The Florence

Florence Welch is another champion of the shag. She rocks major bangs and lets her natural waves run wild. The shag works perfectly with the Stevie Nicks fashion vibes she has going on.

The Wild Shag

If you are fan of all things edgy, pair your messy shag with a bold new coloring. We’re obsessed with this dusty pink, choppy cut which screams “I don’t care what you think.”
