Shaggy hairstyles for men represent the idea of simplicity and style. Defined by a sense of stylish indifference, men’s shag haircuts are ideal for guys who don’t want to spend ages getting ready for work or school.
This hairstyle goes well with all types of hair lengths and textures. However, a medium-length shag haircut is just amazing and also trending this year. They’re easy to maintain, and they look awesome, so go ahead and pick your favorite version below!
1. Shaggy Hairstyles for Men with Shaved Sides
We’ll kick off our selection with a shaggy hairstyle that can be worn in any social situation. As you can see in the photo below, the sides are shaved, leaving the shaggy part only on top. It’s an easy way to avoid a medium haircut.
2. Shag Layered Haircuts
It’s almost impossible to find a shaggy hairstyle that doesn’t have a layered haircut. The layers are what give your locks the shag aspect in the first place. No matter your hair texture, don’t hold back on layers if you’re into shaggy hairstyles for men.
3. Classy Shaggy Hairstyles
Not all shaggy hairstyles have to come across as messy and rebellious. Some of them can be quite classy, depending on how you style your hair. All you have to do is get a layered haircut and comb it neatly into place.
4. Messy Shaggy Hairstyles for Guys
Still, that doesn’t mean that messy isn’t cool. We’ll be honest – it’s the coolest way for most men to wear their hair. This brings us to the main benefit of having a shaggy haircut – you don’t have to struggle with styling or maintenance.
5. Shaggy Hairstyles for Men with Straight Hair
You’ll often see shaggy hairstyles for men with wavy or curly hair. However, they look just as handsome on guys with naturally straight locks. You’ll have an easier time pulling off an elegant version this way.
6. Short Shaggy Men Hairstyles
The concept of shaggy hairstyles usually leads us to believe that you need at least medium-length hair to have one. Nevertheless, you can rock one of these styles even if your hair is just an inch or two long. Bangs can help you achieve the outcome you’re looking for.
7. Surfer Shaggy Hairstyles
Surfers and skaters are usually the first types of guys that come to mind when thinking about shaggy hairstyles for men. We’ll cover both, but let’s start with the typical surfer hairstyle. Casual and carefree all the way, this hairstyle is definitely for laid-back dudes.
8. Side-Swept Bangs Hairstyles
As you’ll soon come to know, bangs play a major role in nailing the shaggy style. You can style them any way you’d like, whether swept to the side or directly down your forehead. Just their mere existence will help you with this youthful look.
9. Shag Hairstyles for Men with Thin Hair
Any extremes are hard to deal with, regardless of whether you’re talking about thick or thin hair. Be that as it may, a shaggy hairstyle can help bring dull, thin hair back to life. If you’re one of the guys struggling with thin hair, go for a shag haircut with wispy bangs.
10. Beatles Shaggy Hairstyles
Who can forget the original trendsetters of the shag haircut? You may want to go back in time and gather inspiration from retro hairstyles for your hairstyle. And what better place to start than with The Beatles themselves?
11. Shaggy Skater Hairstyles
As promised, here is a regular example of a skater haircut with a shaggy hairstyle. It follows the same rules as the surfer one, just that it’s usually combed down a little more. Get one like this if you resonate with the associated lifestyle.
12. Shaggy Shoulder-Length Hairstyles
If you’re not afraid to sport longer locks, you may want to think about getting a shoulder-length hairstyle. Indeed, it might take a while for your hair to grow, but the results will be highly attractive. We recommend it for a manly and composed hairstyle.
13. Medium, Curly, and Shaggy Hairstyles
Curly hair provides one of the most helpful textures for shaggy hairstyles for men. Thanks to how your strands twist and coil, the “shaggy” part of the haircut will be accomplished without additional effort. Try medium as your length of choice.
14. Shaggy Hairstyles for Thick Hair
As we said, thick hair can be just as tricky as thin hair. It all depends on how thick your locks are. If they’re thicker than you’d like them to may, you may want to stick to a shorter haircut. Add layers for the shaggy effect.
15. Shaggy Hairstyles for Men with Stubble
Even though men may lack some hairstyling options compared to women, facial hair is an advantage that’s just theirs. That being said, you should keep your facial hair in mind when thinking about spicing up your shaggy haircut.
16. Curly Bangs Hairstyles
Curly hair also results in a set of chill and easygoing bangs instantly. Sure, they may get in your eyes if they’re kind of long, but at least you’ll look awesome. Make sure you get layers all around for the hairstyle to work how you want it to.
17. Shaggy Hairstyle for Men with Long Bangs
You can get a similar look if you have straight hair too. However, if you decide on rocking longer bangs, we recommend sweeping them to the side in this case for obvious reasons. Alternatively, you can get asymmetrical bangs that are shorter across your forehead and longer to the side.
18. Long Shaggy Hairstyles
Almost any messy hairstyle can be classified as shaggy if it’s styled casually and carelessly. The same goes for the length of your hair. Your locks can be as long as you’d like (provided you put them together in the right way).
19. Shaggy Hairstyles for Men with Short Layers
As far as shaggy hairstyles for men are in discussion, there’s a general guideline that applies to all: shorter layers will give you more texture. In saying that, you can have silky-soft fine hair and pump it up with the help of some short and choppy layers.
20. 80s Shaggy Hairstyles
We doubt that 80s hairstyles like Bon Jovi’s frizzy ‘do in this photo will come back anytime soon, but we think the idea is fun and unruly. If you can’t deal with it daily, you may want to get this hairstyle for a themed party before cutting your hair short.
21. Voluminous Shaggy Hairstyles
Volume can have a massive impact on any man’s hairstyle. Now, while some enjoy plenty of volume from their natural hair texture, others have a harder time obtaining it. To get closer to a voluminous hairstyle, you can chop your hair into long layers and backcomb it.
22. Teen Shaggy Hairstyles
If you’re a teen, you can pull off shaggy hairstyles for men without a care in the world. The teenage haircut itself is very age-appropriate for a guy in their teens, so you don’t have to worry about getting in trouble at school for it.
23. Shaggy Hairstyles for Men Over 40
On the other hand, you can use a shaggy hairstyle to bring out your youthful side at any age. Even if you’re over 40 or 50, this haircut has a knack for cutting at least a couple of years off your real age. Just look at the seemingly never-aging Owen Wilson.
24. Wavy Shoulder-Length Hairstyles
Arguably the best way to sport a shaggy hairstyle is with shoulder-length hair. Top that all off with a naturally wavy hair texture, and you have 0 reasons to worry. Forget about styling: your hair will look perfect from the minute you wake up.
25. Shaggy Hairstyles with Highlights
Keith Urban is yet another celebrity who has been looking good with a shaggy hairstyle for over a decade. The New Zealand native tends to spice up his layered, shoulder-length haircut with a fresh set of honey blonde highlights.
26. Shaggy Hairstyles for Men with Beards
Any beard seems to go hand in hand with a shaggy hairstyle flawlessly. Notwithstanding, one of the best shaggy haircut and beard combos seems to be with a short, well-trimmed beard. You’ll balance out the edge provided by the sloppy hairstyle.
27. Short Shaggy Hairstyles for Men with Curly Hair
Here’s another nice idea for our curly guys. If you can’t stand keeping your curls long, you can get a short, fun, shaggy haircut to flatter them. You’ll still show off your interesting hair texture while rocking a relaxed hairstyle.
28. Shaggy 90s Hairstyles
How can we forget the shaggy hairstyles of the 90s? It was a decade in which almost any guy seemed to have a Leonardo Dicaprio-inspired hairstyle (in his Titanic days), including actors like Matt LeBlanc. We think they’re still fashionable to this day.
29. Shaggy Flow Hairstyles
We wrote an article about the flow hairstyle and how it has pretty much taken over 2017. To continue our claim, look at how appealing a flowing hairstyle looks when combined with a shaggy one. You can always count on Bradley Cooper for inspiration on this one!

Afro-textured hair looks nothing less than outstanding when styled in a shaggy way. The texture itself helps you master the hairstyle more than anything, seeing that your curls will smoothly fall into place without you having to style them that way.
31. Shag Hipster Hairstyles
If you have a bohemian soul, there are high chances that a shaggy hairstyle will suit you nicely. For all that, we recommend a slightly different approach. Instead of leaving your hair long or medium-length, consider cutting it shorter in the back and leaving the shaggy part for your bangs.
32. Gelled Shaggy Hairstyles for Men
You won’t have to stress about styling a shaggy haircut on your average day. Still, there may come one morning when it seems that your hair won’t look right no matter how you tousle it. For these emergencies, break the glass and pull out the hair gel.
33. Slicked Back Shaggy Hairstyles
You can also use your product for a sleek twist on your shaggy hairstyle. If you get tired of it being all over the place, put some gel on the tips of your fingers and slick it back. It’s also a great idea for any formal events you may have to attend.
34. Shaggy Hairstyles for Men with Brushed Up Bangs
Yet another way to switch around your shaggy hairstyle is to keep the bangs out of your face for a change. We guarantee that you’ll get sick of them getting in your eyes at one point, so you may as well try this idea out for added comfort.
35. Scene Hairstyles
Both scene and emo hairstyles are founded on the idea of a shaggy haircut. The most significant aspect of both looks is the bangs. They should be long, generously layered, and fully swept to one side of your face.
36. Natural Redhead Hairstyles
If you’re one of the 2% of the world’s redhead population, you should be proud to show it. The good news for you is that a shaggy hairstyle is just what you need to add a rugged touch to your ginger locks. The beard isn’t a bad idea, either.
37. Shaggy Hairstyles for Men with Short Bangs
Even though the majority of shaggy hairstyles for men come complete with long bangs, others can look just as fine with a short fringe. We particularly recommend this idea to guys who aren’t excited about having hair in their eyes all day.
38. Combed Over Hairstyles for Men
If you don’t want to slick back your shaggy locks, you can always just comb them over from time to time. It’s yet another clever idea if you have to trade your usually rebellious appearance for a fancy occasion.
39. Faux Hawks
Faux hawks have taken the men’s hairstyle scene by storm in the last couple of years. They’re easy to style and will have you looking like a bad boy in no time. To maintain a nonchalant vibe for yours, like David Beckham, make sure you base it on a layered foundation.
40. Casual Shaggy Hairstyles for Men
What if you need a shaggy hairstyle that will work daily? Consider keeping your locks a tad shorter than you normally would. As you can see with Ashton Kutcher’s hairstyle in the photo below, you’ll get a versatile haircut to meet all of your day-to-day needs.
41. Mullet Hairstyles
Ah, how could we forget the mullet haircut? Just like Bon Jovi’s hair metal look that we presented before, Billy Ray Cyrus’ mullet will most likely not be among trends anytime soon. Still, you can get one if you’re nostalgic and it fits your personality.
42. Spiky Hairstyles for Men
It’s time for the ultimate rebel haircut: the spiky and shaggy hairstyle. The base haircut comes with a messy look, while the spikes make the hairstyle edgier. You can keep it in mind if you want to style your shaggy hair differently one day.
43. Shaggy Beard Styles

44. Shaggy Hairstyles for Men with Bowl Cut
Yep, the bowl cut is back, partially due to Asian hair trends. Nonetheless, it has returned with the perfect twist to give it a modern touch: shaggy layers. You should consider one if you want a boyish aspect to your hairstyle.
45. K-Pop Hairstyles
On the same note, dare to be eccentric with a K-pop-inspired hairstyle. In essence, it takes the choppy bowl-cut hairstyle we were talking about earlier and brings it to a whole new level of color. Pink is just one idea, but feel free to explore all the tones of the rainbow.
46. Comb Over Shaggy Hairstyles
A classic comb-over hairstyle often involves neatly cut hair that’s delicately brushed and slicked to one side. But when you have a longer, shaggy haircut, you can adapt the traditional style to your silhouette by combing your hair over.
47. 70s Shaggy Hairstyles for Men
