The razor shag: quite simply one of the hottest haircuts of the year. It’s easy to understand the cut’s wide appeal: razor shags are insanely flattering and work on almost all hair textures and lengths. Today’s modern shag combines choppy ends, layers around the crown and loads of texture. Casual, messy and giving off that extremely-cool-without-trying vibe, the razor shag is being celebrated with JATAI Feather’s #ShareYourShag razor shag social media contest. Whether you are looking for inspiration to create a cut to enter the contest, or just love seeing the evolution of the modern day shag, below is a round up of some of my favorite shag cuts and styles on Instagram.
