  deck: "The shag is the most-referenced cut on Pinterest and the most frequently miscut in salons. Layers, curtain fringe, texture — everything playing at once. When it works, it's transformative. When it misses, it's just a badly layered lob.",
  intro: "The shag is a specific cutting approach: heavy layers throughout the body, strong face-framing, a curtain fringe or wispy bang optional, and textured — never polished — ends. It's a seventies rock-and-roll cut that's been reissued every decade because the underlying principle holds. The problem is that the word 'shag' gets used loosely in salons to mean anything with layers and a fringe, which is how you end up with a result that looks like a lob with a haircut accident rather than a deliberate, high-movement shag. The variables that make a shag a shag — not just a layered cut — are precision layering from the top down, strong weight removal at the ends, and styling that leans into texture rather than fighting it.",

  defn: {
    h: "What makes a shag cut actually a shag",
    body: "A true shag has three structural elements: (1) layers that start high, near the crown, not just at the ends; (2) significant weight removal throughout — not just face-framing layers on top of a heavy length; (3) textured, often razored or point-cut ends that prevent the weight line from looking blunt. The fringe (usually curtain bangs or a wispy fringe) is optional but common. What separates a shag from a 'layered cut' is how much weight has been removed and how high the layering starts.",

  myths: [
    { m: "The shag only works on wavy or curly hair.",
      t: "The shag works on straight hair too — it just relies more on styling product and technique to create the texture rather than finding it naturally. Straight-hair shags usually need a texturizing spray and some diffusing or scrunching to get the lived-in look the cut is designed for." },
    { m: "A shag is easy to style.",
      t: "A shag requires some styling commitment. The texture that makes it look amazing doesn't happen on its own — you need a diffuser, salt spray, or some technique. The upside is that it looks better slightly underdone than perfectly polished." },
    { m: "The shag doesn't suit fine hair.",
      t: "Fine hair needs a lighter approach — less weight removal overall, to preserve the density at the ends — but it can absolutely support a shag. The result will have less bulk but can have enormous movement." },
