Shaggy Cut 2025: The Messy-Chic Haircut Making a Comeback
by Sara – Beauty Advisor, Il Magazine del Parrucchiere
There’s a haircut that always comes back when the world feels like breaking free.
Messy yet sophisticated, rock but refined, effortless and sexy all at once.
Yes — the Shaggy Cut is back.
And in 2025, it’s reclaiming the spotlight — from salons to catwalks, and, of course, all over social media.
✂️ What the Shaggy Cut Is (and Why Everyone Loves It)
Born in the ‘70s, beloved by rock icons and supermodels, the Shaggy Cut is the ultimate layered haircut.
Short, medium, or long, it plays with soft layering, feathered ends, and a perfectly imperfect shape.
Its power lies in adaptability — it works on every hair type, from fine straight to naturally wavy.
In 2025, it returns in a “soft layering” version: more polished, but still full of personality.
🔥 Why It’s Trending Again in 2025
Three clear reasons:
- Natural beauty. 2025 is all about effortless, authentic textures.
- Versatility. Works with any hair type, and can be customized with color and styling.
- Social media impact. The “messy glam” aesthetic is ruling TikTok and Reels — and the Shaggy Cut is its poster child.
Clients everywhere are asking for that “layered but not too layered” haircut, with soft curtain bangs and movement.
In short: it’s the Shaggy 2.0.
💇♀️ How to Wear It Today
The most popular 2025 versions:
- Short Shaggy with curtain bangs and feathered tips for a rock-chic vibe.
- Medium Shaggy with soft face-framing layers for natural volume.
- Long Soft Shaggy for those who want movement without losing length.
Styling tip: use a medium round brush, low heat, and a texturizing spray for that lived-in finish.
Pro hairstylists love pairing it with professional sea salt sprays or volumizing powders for natural texture.
🎨 Color + Shaggy: The Perfect Match
The Shaggy Cut shines when paired with dimensional color: Balayage, Airtouch, Copper Lights, or Honey Blonde.
Soft contrast between roots and ends enhances depth and shape.
For best results, combine a soft color technique with warm or cool reflections depending on skin tone.
💬 Sara’s Advice
“The Shaggy is the haircut of freedom.

✨ In Short
