Show Off Your Shag Haircut With These Instagram Captions

If you're considering getting a new 'do, we highly recommend doing your research on the new modern shag haircut.

It's all sorts of fun and amazing, and honestly anyone can pull it off—even if you have curly hair. The shag is meant to be a bit unkempt and even messy, which is why we love it so much. Plus, we're seeing celebrities get shags left and right, so you know it's good. If you have a shag haircut or plan on getting one soon, use one of the following Instagram captions to show off your hair.

For when you know people are going to DM you asking all sorts of questions about your hair:

"It's called a shag haircut, FYI."

For the daring look that captures your current mood:
