So, if you're going that route - at the bare minimum - have a good friend on hand who you trust to cut the most even line possible, as Arruntegui advises. That ponytail does, at the end of the day, seem a lot easier, though (because it is). Instead, split the hair into smaller sections and point cut into the hair so itвЂ™s more blended and forgiving.'ДЄs Sturdivant-Drew points out, it's also important to 'hold the hair to the angle you want to create a certain shape.' In the case of a shag cut, that means holding various sections of hair at different angles, depending on where they're located on your head - luckily, Atlanta-based hairstylist Sara Cappelli broke down the entire process with a TikTok tutorial in response to the viral trend. 'This method may work for someone with wavy or curly fine hair, where the mistakes won't show as much, but a lot can go wrong with this 'technique' and it's not so forgiving on all hair types,' he explains. 'I don't see a 'shag cut' from these videos at all I see cutting the ends trying to create some kind of shape or just get clean ends in some sort of a style.' Fellow New York City hairstylist Erickson Arrunategui adds that, although many people are quite happy with the results of their own DIY cuts, the ponytail chop isn't exactly universally sound.

'I wouldn't suggest this to anyone at home,' says Takisha Sturdivant-Drew, a New York City hairstylist. Though these unconventional hair-cutting videos show results ranging from OK to flat-out amazing (see the clip below), no one will be surprised to learn that hairstylists aren't the biggest fans. Apparently, I had stumbled onto the world's next beauty phenomenon: the ponytail shag. A few flips of my thumb later and I saw another person in their bathroom, ponytail in one hand and scissors in the other. Leave your bob at the door, because the latest haircut making waves in the beauty industry and beyond is one that requires a little more length and layers to pull off.
