Scissor

Shag

Layers stacked short at the crown and long at the ends with a heavy fringe. Rougher and flatter on top than a wolf cut, and it needs genuine wave or curl to read properly.

No clippers — scissor length throughout

What to say

Ask for it like this.

Barbers work from instructions, not vibes. These are the three things that decide whether you get this cut or something adjacent to it.

  1. Ask for a shag with a heavy fringe and choppy layers.
  2. Say you want the crown kept flat rather than lifted.
  3. Ask for the ends left rough, not blunt.
Living with it

Five to six weeks, and it improves as it grows.
