While the shag may be most often linked to 1970s rock stars like Joan Jett, this hairstyle has had quite an evolution over the decades. In the 1990s, actress Jennifer Aniston made a splash with her signature \u201cThe Rachel\u201d layered and highlighted shag on Friends<\/em>. However, for 2016, this iconic shaggy haircut has resurfaced, and has been fully modernized for a new era. This season, the shag can be evidenced by its sleeker strands, subtle waves and voluminous locks.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not a fan of choppy haircuts or very short layers, then the revamped shag may be a hair possibility for you. This time around, hair chameleons are sporting the look with sunny highlights, effortlessly wavy tresses and medium length cuts.<\/p>\n

The modern shag has also been leaving its mark in Hollywood, where stars like Eva Longoria have embraced slightly shaggy, textured strands. While it may be easy to confuse the modern shag with the long bob, the texturized effect is what sets this style apart from the now-ubiquitous lob.<\/p>\n

For anyone looking to try a shorter cut this season, the updated shag may be a chic new hairstyle. Here\u2019s a closer look at the many variations on this 2016 hair trend.<\/p>\n
