Shag cut

Shag cut

A choppy layered hairstyle, characterized by layers to create fullness in the crown and fringes around the edges. There are many versions including the frat shag and boy's shag. In the 2020s, a variation of the shag called a wolf cut became popular. This variation differentiates itself by being shorter at the front in a style reminiscent of the mullet and often includes bangs. The wolf cut has been worn by celebrities including Billie Eilish, Camila Cabello and Miley Cyrus.

From the Wikipedia article

A shag cut is a hairstyle that has been layered to various lengths. It is usually attributed to the New York hairstylist Paul McGregor, who gave it to Jane Fonda c. 1969, leading to its rise to fame in the 1971 movie Klute, although a hairstyle called "shag" has existed since at least 1956. McGregor originally called his cut "the Funky".
