The latest lockdown surprise is the revival of 70's/80’s hairstyling trend - the Shag is one of them - that perhaps reflects a more laid-back and casual mood of being able to work, shop, exercise, etc. from home.

"More women are embracing the shag these days, because the new version is softer and adaptable to most hair lengths and textures,” says Jesse Linares, Sam Villa ArTeam. 

Move over lob, there’s a new ‘do in town and it epitomizes the effortless style women want. “This new shag is just as layer heavy and laid back as the shag of the past, but it has a much softer approach and can be adapted to more hair lengths,” says Andrew Carruthers, education director for Sam Villa.
