Everything You Need to Know About Blowouts and Shag Layered Cuts

As licensed stylists at Jenny’s Salon in Mechanicsburg, we’ve noticed a fascinating trend: the resurgence of 90s hairstyles, particularly voluminous blowouts and perfectly layered shags. These classic styles are making a major comeback, but with a modern twist that makes them fresh and exciting for today’s clients.

Understanding the 90s Blowout Revival

The 90s blowout is all about bouncy, voluminous hair that looks effortlessly polished. Unlike the sleek styles of recent years, this look embraces body and movement. Today’s version maintains the dramatic volume while incorporating more natural-looking movement.

What Makes the Modern 90s Blowout Different

The contemporary take on the 90s blowout features:

  • Strategic layering for natural-looking volume
  • Softer, more lived-in texture
  • Less rigid styling than the original version
  • Face-framing layers that enhance facial features
  • Versatile styling options for different occasions

The New-Age Shag: Not Your Mother’s Layered Cut

The 90s shag has evolved into a versatile, low-maintenance style that works for various hair textures and lengths. Modern shag cuts incorporate:

  • Seamless layering techniques
  • Customized face-framing pieces
  • Textured ends for movement
  • Adaptable styling options
  • Easy grow-out phases

Who Should Try These Trending Styles?

These looks work particularly well for:

  • Those wanting low-maintenance yet stylish hair
  • People looking to add volume to fine hair
  • Anyone seeking a versatile cut that can be styled multiple ways
  • Those with natural waves or texture
  • Clients wanting to embrace their hair’s natural movement
