The hair dictates never stop mutating, but a wind of freedom blows on the heads of the quinquas. Exit the short square, too wise, too seen, too dated. An unexpected, more daring cut, is essential on the catwalks, red carpets, and especially in hairdressing salons. She attracts those who want to assume himself, without trying to camouflage their age or their personality.
Shag cut: volume, movement and character
Inspired by the 1970s but resolutely contemporary, the Shag Cup stands out as the most stylish alternative with a short square too frozen. It seduces for a good reason: it does not seek to smooth age, but to enhance texture and personality. It is a living cut, in motion, with its irregular lengths, its skillfully disorderly gradients, its curtain bangs which blur without concealing.
Shag is not a compromise cut. It is an assumed bias that says “I exist”, “I display myself”, “I love myself as I am”. And more than 50 years of age are more and more numerous to dare this rock, rebellious and modular aesthetic.
As emphasizes Delphine CourteilleHairstylist recognized internationally: “It is the ideal cut for those who want to avoid the frozen effect. She softens the features without trying to hide them. »» This vision moves away from the logic of forced rejuvenation and is anchored in that of reconciliation with oneself.
Why this cut pleases so much after 50 years
The success of the Shag Cup is due to several factors, but above all to its ability to reveal rather than to erase. Unlike the rigid square often advised spent a certain age, it adapts to the hair that changes: drier, sometimes thinner, less disciplined.
-
It offers natural volume Thanks to its well -placed degrades.
-
It structures without locking up, ideal for marked faces.
-
It requires little maintenance and supports the effect “styled-decorated” very well.
-
It works wonderfully on pepper and salt hair, even completely gray.
Another significant asset: it allows you to keep a certain length without switching to the “long age -free hair” look. She captures the light, plays with the textures and breathes a Rock and elegant stylein perfect harmony with freer femininity.
But beware, as recalled Grazia In his article, this cut requires a real mastery of the gesture. It cannot be improvised. The choice of hairdresser is crucial: “Shag is not a linear cut. It is a subtle balance between volumes, lengths, points. »»
The end of the myth of “hair rejuvenation”
The real revolution does not be due to the shape of this cut as much as it is symbolized. Shag is not trying to rejuvenate. He does not infantilize. He does not try to erase the years, wrinkles or white hair. He composes with.
By establishing himself as a strong trend in women over 50, he says something larger: the refusal of the normative gaze posed on age and appearance. He embodies an aesthetic of emancipation, against the tide of the usual injunctions.
It is therefore no coincidence that this cut is a hit in the most sophisticated salons, but also in more and more celebrities to claim it. Of Halle Berry has Jane Fundathrough influencers aged 55 and over, all tell through their cutting a new way of living in their age.
Shag is not a trend among others: it is a hair manifesto. A cry of freedom in the shape of a crazy wick.
