The long shag cut is ideal for facing the summer

The cut to try in 2021, as soon as the red zone allows it, is long shag. The same one who showed off Billie Eilish in the last post on Instagram with her new platinum blonde hair.

«It is a cut with the ’70s -‘ 80s scaling, unconventional. Once the layers of locks were more dizzying and made the head wilder, but also elegant and above all more rock “, explains Rudy Mostarda Creative Styling Director Wella Professionals e Founder and International Creative Director Extrema Hair. «Today there are several versions and with longer layers. For me it is the perfect cut for the summer, since with the restrictions that we have in many salons closed in the red zone we have to think long term and aim for when, hopefully with the summer, we will have more freedom. This cut is perfect for interpreting the mood of the moment, because if it is done well you do not need a demanding style, it can also be worn natural, with a DIY styling and in any case it remains very feminine. Thanks to its non-static line, but rich in volume especially in the upper part of the head and to the free locks that stretch under the shoulders to the back, it wraps the head and frames the face, enhancing its morphology ».

IT’S AN INCLUSIVE CUT
«It is suitable for all hair textures and does not require a great blowout, but embraces a naturalness that suits those who wear the wildest hair. For the carré, which is very popular at the moment, you need the right texture and not all of them look good. The shag cut, on the contrary, enhances each head, changing the length, it is good at any age, because a scaling that falls on the front of the face highlights a woman’s eyes, cheekbones and nose, making her more feminine and less bourgeois. It is the ideal solution for medium-long and long hair and even if gathered in a ponytail it has a touch of cool elegance. Usually hairdressers for over 50s tend to propose a short cut, but the more you remove the more you see, with the shorts the imperfections are emphasized, while a longer cut with some strands falling on the face gives lightness and freshness ».
