Let us tell you all the different types of shag mullet styles you could go for (there are lots) and the best tips to style them. Come on, just give it a shot.

Shag Mullet Styling Tips

Before we delve into the different shag mullet styles, let’s first discuss some essential styling tips to ensure your hair looks its absolute best. It’s important to note that the shag mullet is all about embracing your natural texture and adding layers for movement and volume. To achieve the perfect shag mullet look, follow these handy tips.

Step #1

Keep your hair healthy and well-maintained. Regular trims are crucial to prevent split ends and maintain the shape of your shag mullet.

Step #2

Maintaining the health of your hair is key to achieving a fabulous shag mullet style. Regular trims every six to eight weeks will help prevent split ends and keep your hair looking fresh. Additionally, a deep conditioning treatment once a week will nourish your locks and keep them soft and shiny.

Step #3

When it comes to styling your shag mullet, the right hair products can make all the difference. If you have naturally wavy or curly hair, a sea salt spray can enhance your texture and give you those coveted beachy waves. On the other hand, if you have fine or straight hair, a lightweight mousse can add volume and hold to your shag mullet, giving it that extra oomph. Don’t be afraid to use heat-styling tools such as curling irons or straighteners to create different looks. Remember to use a heat protectant spray before applying heat to your hair.

Step #4

If you want to switch up your shag mullet style, heat styling tools can be your best friend. Use a curling iron to create loose waves, or add some flicks to the ends of your hair. If you prefer a sleeker look, a straightener can help you achieve that. However, it’s important to protect your hair from heat damage. Before using any heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant spray to shield your locks from potential harm.
