How to give Yourself a Shag Haircut

lately i've been feeling like my hair's been kind of a little bit flat and since shag haircuts are in i figured what the heck let's just cut some layers of my hair so right now you can kind of see like i have some just kind of longer-ish layers but we're going to cut it and get crazy so here we go okay first what i'm going to do is i'm going to take i'm going to take a section about about an inch on each side of my part so i usually part it towards the middle okay so once i have this middle section i'm probably gonna have some of my hair falling out just because i have some shorter wings in the front and that's okay we'll just let those fall out but what we're gonna do is i'm gonna take probably [Music] i'll probably take about an inch to two inches off i'm not just going to cut it straight and parallel with my head i'm going to bring this hair forward because i want more of the layers of the front to be shorter than in the back so what i'm going to do is i'm going to direct this all forward and then i'm going to cut a straight line so by doing it enabling this way you can see this front part will be shorter than the back so you can see already i'm gonna have some shorter pieces okay now we're gonna need to um blend those pieces so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna take sections now um perpendicular okay so now what i'm going to do is i'm going to take sections perpendicular to my part okay so you can see how that is this is what we just cut right there the shorter part and this is what we need to cut so i'm just going to cut a straight across line to match up with what i just cut so i'm going to do that all the way around the head and then we'll worry about some of the fringe in the front so what we're gonna just do today is um i'm gonna clean up my curtain bangs and um then i'm going to just take it and feather it down the sides i'm gonna keep mine kind of longer this time but if you want a full tutorial on how to cut curtain banks make sure you check out my video on how to cut curtain banks so um yeah so i'm just going to take my scissors and just slice it down like that okay so now i'm going to blow dry it out it's still just a little wet from when i showered um and then i'm going to take my thinning shears and go through it just i want it to look thick and chunky so let me show you how to make some let me show you how to make some magic that was weird let me just show you okay so we'll just show you how to make it more blended and more wispy so um i'm gonna take this sections now and i have my thinning shears so we're just gonna take it and really just blend these bad boys out you can see they're a little bit more wispy so i'm just gonna go ahead and style it so you can kind of see it better because right now it's just kind of so so there you can see this is what i love about this too is if you have thick hair like me it kind of helps to lighten it a little bit and then also gives you a little bit more volume because it's not so heavy but um definitely make sure you use the thing shears because you will be sorry if you don't leave it thick and chunky and so that just helps it really um make it a lot more wispy so there you have it a little bit of a shag good luck and make sure you like this video if you liked it i guess subscribe to my channel and check out my other videos thanks
