The Modern Shag

The Cut: If you are growing out your hair from a pixie cut, like Emma Watson, this is a great in-between shape for summer. The texture is light and understated. "This look is less about layers and more about depth," says the Harry Potter star's go-to hairstylist Rodney Cutler.

Who Can Rock It: "This haircut works well with both straight and curly hair, so it's great for the summer and humid weather," says Cutler. When it comes to face shape, the style is pretty universal. "This style works well on most face shapes except on long, square frames, because it elongates the profile too much."

Daily Routine: This cut's shape really defines the look, so when it comes to styling, go au natural. If your hair is naturally smooth, let it air dry. If it's more challenging, Cutler suggests using a Mason Pearson brush to smooth the cuticles before letting nature run its course.

Upkeep: Trim every six weeks.

Expert Advice: Because this haircut is in between lengths, "it's too short to pull back, so keep in mind that you have to wear it down all the time," cautions Cutler.
