I'm not exactly sure what you mean by loose and shaggy. Do you mean that there are stuck bits that part is hanging off of her? 70% is plenty humid for a good shed, and usually digital hygrometers are more accurate than analog, but do you have a second one you could double check it's reading correctly?
Have you seen her soaking in her bowl? Are there any signs of mites (looks like black pepper specs) in her bowl, between her scales near her belly, around her eyes? Mites can cause dehydration despite otherwise good husbandry.
For her body to have folds if it's what I am imagining where it looks like there are almost reverse cracks, usually show up in the neck area first, is generally a sign of moderate dehydration. If you are doing everything right, no sign of mites, and have double checked the hygrometer, a vet visit might be in order to get a fecal and make sure there isn't some sort of internal parasite that is dehydrating her.
If I am mistaken what you mean, a pic or two might help.
Either way, I would set up a humid hide for her to help her finish her shed without the stress of soaking her. You can use something like an old butter tub, cut a hole for a door but make sure the lid can still be on because it will help hold humidity in, and put some damp sphagnum moss inside. I'd put it on the warm end of the enclosure.
