Suki Waterhouse just brought back the 70s shag - and it's the cool-girl haircut of the moment
In case you missed the memo, the 70s shag haircut is the cool-girl haircut of the moment. It's made a slow but steady comeback, with A-listers from Jenna Ortega to Julia Roberts and Kaia Gerber sporting the retro-inspired style. But Maura's take on the trend brings a fresh, modern vibe, proving that the cut can adapted to modern beauty trends.
Suki Waterhouse also recently championed the style at New York Fashion Week. She stepped out in 'The Big Apple' with her signature tousled waves (which was cut into a choppy, layered masterpiece) paired with black shades. The cut featured feathery layers, a wispy curtain fringe, and just the right amount of undone texture. This hairdo synced up perfectly with her effortlessly cool aesthetic.
Don't just take out word for it, the experts also believe in the return of this rock star style. At the start of the year, expert hairstylist, Sam McKnight MBE, predicted the revival of this retro hairstyle.He told H! Fashion:“Long hair is still everywhere but to keep it cool, and modern in 2025, consider a fringe or some choppy layers to sit alongside your cheekbones. Take inspiration from 70s rock- starlets Debbie Harry,Stevie Nicks and cool girl Jane Birkin’s brow-skimming bangs and Marianne Faithfull’s choppy cheekbone layers."
Adding: "This look is all about effortlessly cool texture and definition. Nourish and define with my 'Happy Endings' Hair Balm and enhance texture with a few mists of my 'Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist' for that undone, done finish.”
