A short shag is complete when paired with choppy bangs and mussed up texture. To enhance its shape, work through with texturizer then blow-dry using only your hands to style. Rake through layers with fingers and guide random ends to flip out for even more volume. Fine hair gets a major boost from short sharp layers, styled with asymmetry.
