Courteney Cox Just Got in On the New Shag Hair Trend
Hair trends typically come and go with the season, but the bob is an exception. For the past few years, the chin-length style been "the" haircut in Hollywood, and honestly, it seems like every other day at least one celeb is paying a visit to their most trusted stylist to get all of their hair cut off. What makes the bob so freaking popular is its versatility. The length is pretty much universal and you can completely customize the cut by adding bangs or asymmetrical layers.
However, there's other classic styles out there that work just as well with a number of hair textures like the bob does. Enter the shag. The heavily layered cut works on virtually any hair length and with or without bangs. Thanks to celebs the Taylor Swift, Anne Hathaway, Julianne Hough, and now Courteney Cox, the underrated cut is on its way to becoming the next big haircut trend of 2019 — and beyond.
