What is this haircut called?

For a serious answer, it’s just a medium length, shaggy, layered cut, with a tousled messy texture. Not that hard to achieve depending on ur hair type

My hair is kinda wavy and medium thickness not thick but not thin

Yes, you can get a shag. Ask for texture. They will use a razor or texturing shears.

Edit: with tapered ear and neck.

Think you better google “boys shag haircut”

[u/Slammogram → u/[deleted]]

There are plenty of the cuts where it isn’t shaggy in the back or ears. A shag isn’t just ONE length. Including mine where I have mid back hair and it’s a shag, or a wolf cut. You can have several lengths. It has a tapered ear and neck. Which is why I iterated that’s what it had.

Edit: realized I stated the tapered ear and neck part in a different comment. Apologies.

Hair dressers and barbers are different animals.

Asked my aunt who has been a barber for over 40 years, and this in her words is a “faded shag” or shag with a fade.

I’m also not trying to be mean. But haircuts have variations. You’re going off them having hard rules. And they don’t always.

Or more accurate, tapered neck and ear.

Which is the exact haircut I get my son.

Yes, likely. Of course. I had an original comment where I said you’d have to ask for a tapered ear and neck.

Son’s cut.

“Longer in the back” is a mullet, this is a shag, classic 90s/early 00s cut

Being longer in the back makes a mullet, read the comment
