The video is a tutorial on how to achieve a shag haircut at home. The presenter, Brad, begins by explaining that the haircut is currently trending and that many people on TikTok and YouTube are trying to do their own shag haircuts, often resulting in a mess. Brad then outlines a simplified four-step process to achieve a shag haircut at home.
The first step involves preparing the hair. Brad advises using a hair cutting scissor, not kitchen scissors, and suggests getting a hair cutting shear, thinning shears, some clips, a comb or brush, and elastic. The hair should be wet before starting the cut to ensure even results.
The second step involves creating a high ponytail. Brad uses elastic to create a high ponytail and then cuts the hair around the ponytail. The third step involves cutting the hair at the top of the head, creating a layered effect. Brad also suggests taking a piece out from the back of the ponytail to ensure that the length of the hair is not cut off.
The fourth step involves adding texture to the haircut. Brad suggests parting the hair down the middle and sectioning the front section out right behind the ear. Brad then cuts off the extra length that is not needed.
After the main part of the haircut, Brad suggests using a diffuser to create a lived-in, fresh, and natural look. Brad then uses a wave foam product to add body and wave to the hair.
The final step involves using thinning shears to remove some of the bulk from the layers and give the hair a more frayed edge. Brad also suggests using a balm to add hydration, gloss, shine, and hold to the hair.
Brad concludes the tutorial by showing how the haircut can be styled differently, with shorter bangs and a voluminous blowout. He encourages viewers to tag him on social media and to check out the products mentioned in the video.
