You may obtain a scruffy look by wearing your hair up in a textured and layered style. To accomplish this result, you'll need a nice comb, brush, gel, and other materials, as well as a lot of trying before you find the perfect look. 13 short and sagging Men with short hair frequently believe they cannot get a shag style, but this is not true. With a little know-how and some simple tools, any man can achieve this look. The first thing you need to understand about getting a shaggy hair look is that it takes time. This type of style requires several steps to create the desired effect. You should plan on spending 30 minutes to an hour at the most working on your hair, so you must be willing to put in this amount of time. After washing your hair, condition it thoroughly. Use a good quality product; one that contains protein will help add volume to your hair while providing the necessary nutrients for healthy looking hair. Next, use a large round-tipped brush to part your hair down the middle and begin brushing from root to tip. Don't worry about styling each section; just focus on giving your whole head of hair a uniform look. When you're done brushing, let your hair dry naturally or use a diffuser if you want to speed up the process. Now, take your comb and run it through your hair in horizontal strokes. Try not to pull your hair when doing this; instead, slide the comb through it gently.
