wolf cut

Mullet meets shag

A wolf cut is a layered hairstyle combining elements of a shag and a mullet, featuring choppy layers throughout with shorter pieces framing the face and longer hair at the back.

The style creates volume and texture with a slightly disheveled, rock-and-roll aesthetic.

It gained popularity through social media in the early 2020s: She asked her stylist for a wolf cut after seeing it on TikTok.
