Welcome to The Life Of Hair

Welcome to The Life Of Hair, my name’s James Atkinson, and thank you for joining me on this video. Today is one of my favorite haircuts, it’s the Vidal Sassoon shag, or otherwise known as a long graduation. I’ve done this haircut before on my channel in a totally different way, so I wanted to show you a different adaptation. It incorporates a fantastic shaggy fringe, with lots and lots of shape around the front.

The Pre-Section Technique

The pre-section for this technique is incredibly simple. You simply section off from the highest point of the head down to the top of the ear on both sides, and brush the hair forwards and backwards. Then take a triangle section from the front hairline to the edge of the recession. This will form the basis of the length at the front. Cut this to the desired length that you want the shortest part of this haircut to be. Pull the hair straight out from the head and cut a square line.

Creating the Shag Haircut

This section is very important to elevate it straight out from the head. Check for length and then take a subsequent section in exactly the same 45-degree angle behind the first section, elevating the hair straight out from the head, cutting a square line. Keep taking sections as you Travel back towards the crown area, 45 degrees, and pulling the hair straight out from the head.

As we get to the sides, we are elevating the hair up to the fringe line. This will ensure that we retain as much of the length in the sides as possible. Always check that you have got consistently the same length on both sides and if you are slightly off, then go back to your previous section and adjust as necessary.

Styling the Shag Haircut

I absolutely love this on wavy hair. As you can see, I’ve styled it here with a side fringe, you could do a center fringe with a split in it. But it is a very, very contemporary, easy to wear haircut, it can be worn straight or curly. It gives beautiful texture and volume, and it’s perfect for those clients that haven’t got really curly hair, nor have they got straight hair, and they want something that they can just put some sea salt spray in or some curl hold cream, and wash and wear.
