Autumn 2021 Haircut Trend: '70s Shag

We told you it was all about the '70s this season, and if you can't quite brave a mullet yet, you can always try the shag cut. Pretty much all of the experts we spoke to referenced the modern shag, which incorporates heavy layers, feathered at the top and sides, with choppy fringe and lots of volume. "The wispy full fringes with the ends flicked away from the face, super textured, and layered wispy movement is key to this style," Seeley said. "It's more wearable and longer than the mullet and perfect for think midlength (shoulder length) hair."

George Northwood and his team have perfected their version of the shag that incorporates sophisticated chopped-in layers that are super easy to maintain. "For autumn/winter, we want something that goes well with chunky knits and that you can just rough dry before leaving the house," Northwood said.
