Shag Cut

Shag Cut is a men's hairstyle for wavy and curly hair that combines a commercial character with an artistic edge, giving the client plenty of styling options. This course shows how to build a strong, square form that emphasizes a masculine character while remaining simple for everyday styling and fully working with the hair's natural texture, without unnecessary texturizing.

Kamil Cesarski guides you through the entire shag-building process, starting with his signature method of planning the cut using "safety buffers" - strands we intentionally leave as a length reserve. He shows how to precisely part out sections, set the length on the stationary guide, and then cut the whole head horizontally and vertically in a square, redirecting the following strands in a controlled way. The process finishes with chinese-knife work on the outline and diffuser styling.

In this course, you'll see

• A signature method of working with "safety buffers" as an intentional length reserve above the ears and at the nape
• Horizontal and vertical square cutting with precise redirection of each strand to the memory section
• Chinese-knife work for building the hairstyle's outline - short blade movements to cut length without creating excessive texture
• Using grooming spray to control separation and strand tension when cutting on wet hair
• Final styling with a diffuser at low speed and medium heat, to bring out the natural curl to the fullest without hands interfering
• Why curly hair loves a simple, strong cut, and why frayed ends disrupt its natural structure

After this course, you'll start planning cuts on curly and wavy hair with intention, using safety buffers for full control over the final shape. You'll learn to build a masculine, square silhouette that's both commercial and easy for the client to style, basing the entire hairstyle on natural texture and a strong, simple cut.
