Nothing screams choppy bob quite like a shag haircut. With plenty of layers and a tousled finish, a shag haircut is great for short to medium hair and while it’ll look great on thick hair, this cut is especially great for those with fine hair which lacks volume and movement.

1. Straight and sleek

Contrary to popular belief, sexy haircuts for long hair don’t have to be over-complicated. In fact, sometimes the simpler the cut and style, the more glamorous it can be – just look at Diane Guerrero’s sleek, glossy hairstyle.
