Just when you thought there wouldn’t be another hybrid cut this year, “The Sachel,” the shag + “Rachel” has entered the limelight, further cementing the cult status of “The Rachel.” So how is this haircut different from The Brachel? Keep reading.
The Sachel Haircut Trend
Proving that layers, volume, and movement are here to stay, the Sachel combines a classic shag with the 90s hit “The Rachel” to create a fun-loving mashup that is perfect to start your new year off in style.
With a resurgence of both 70s and 90s trends, it is no wonder hair trends have gone down this path. Midi cuts, cue the midi flick, have been more popular than ever, and combining it with a shag finish is just the upgrade this haircut needed.
The look is ultimately undone and captures an ethereal nature to it with a freshly chopped vibe we all love about a new haircut. Whether you need to put a lot of effort into creating the finished style or not — the whole point is to make it look effortless. Depending on your hair type or texture, this cut might not be the easiest to style, and this detail should definitely be taken into account when making the final decision with your stylist.
Speaking of styling… This look can be appreciated when worn naturally or blown dry. For a classic finish, a smooth blowout with rounded ends is ideal. To achieve this, you’ll need to invest in the following.
- A medium round brush (the size will vary based on your exact length)
- A professional blow dryer
- Sectioning clips
- Heat protectant
- Volumizing texture spray

If you’ve been aching for a shorter haircut but don’t want to keep up with the length a bob requires, the Sachel is the perfect compromise. Not sure this look is for you — the midi flick might be a better (read: less layered) version that still gives you a chic finish.
