Can I get a shag with fine hair?

The answer

Yes, a shag can work on fine hair if the plan is right. Stylists often keep the ends fuller and put shorter layers near the crown for lift. Overly aggressive layering or texturising can make fine hair look thin or see-through, so discuss where the shortest layer will sit before cutting. Light products and a little root lift usually suit fine hair best.
