Layered Shaggy Cut

The hairstyle in this image is a Layered Shaggy Cut (often referred to as a Mid-Length Layered Cut), which was a signature look of the late 90s and early 2000s.
​Here are the key characteristics of this style:


  •  

​Heavy Layering: The hair is cut into distinct layers of varying lengths to create volume and movement, preventing the hair from looking flat.
​Shaggy/Textured Ends: The tips are thinned out or "razor-cut" to create a wispy, pointed effect, similar to what is now known as a Wolf Cut or Modern Mullet.
​Side-Swept Fringe: It features long, layered bangs that are swept to the side, which helps frame the face and soften the features.
​Piecey Texture: The styling uses product (like wax or pomade) to separate the strands, giving it that "intentionally messy" and edgy look.
​How to ask for this at a salon:
​If you want to get this haircut, you can tell the stylist:
​"I'd like a mid-length layered cut with wispy, textured ends and side-swept bangs."
​Showing them this photo is the most effective way to ensure you get the specific "retro-chic" look shown here.
