In 1969 barber Paul McGregor created the shag cut, a heavily layered, multidimensional, effortless style that epitomized the distinct sense of freedom of the decade to come. Actress Jane Fonda (top left) popularized the haircut in the 1971 movie Klute (Warner Bros.), inspiring throngs of women to chop their locks. Now the shag is back and better than ever. Just ask Julianne Hough (top right), Alexa Chung and Vanessa Hudgens who have all opted for this edgy, tousled style with loads of movement.
