How to Style Short Hair in 38 Chic, Easy Ways

Curly Shag

Prada muse, Mica Arganaraz, is one of our favorite poster girls for a shag cut. By working with her hair’s texture and embracing her curls, she achieves a look that is both casual and cool. “Shags are all about volume and texture. If you have a natural wave to your hair, use a diffuser nozzle on your blow dryer to dry your hair and embrace your natural texture,” Richman says. “For straighter hair, rough dry your hair upside down while moving the hair back and forth with your fingertips for maximum volume and texture.”

He adds, “If you need to, use a round brush when the hair is mostly dry to smooth the ends. Use a flat iron or curling iron to create your desired wave; make sure to curl in multiple directions for a shaggy, undone style.”
