The “wolf cut,” a popular style on TikTok, can potentially overshadow the shag, mullet, and celebrity-inspired styles. Rihanna’s, Keke’s, Debby’s, Billie’s, Miley Cyrus’, etc., are just a few examples.
What is a Wolf Cut
The “wolf” combines the shag, the mullet, and the internal click. The “wolf” haircut combines the volume and length of a mullet and the choppy shag layers for an edgy and wild new look. Sally Hershberger, the celebrity hairstylist, tells POPSUGAR that “[it’s] a soft take on the Mullet.” It’s a cool, lived-in look with lots of layers and movement.
The most crucial difference between a classic mullet and the “wolf cut” is the placement of the layers. The style is not layered heavily at the top but rather throughout. While people use TikTok to cut their hair at home, you can get the same look by visiting a professional.
The Wolf Cut comes from Korea.
The wolf cut is a popular style in South Korea, even though it has only recently become mainstream. Choi Beomgyu of Tomorrow X Together has worn this choppy hairstyle, short in the front and long in the back, for many years.
Get a Wolf Cut in the Salon
Ask your stylist to give you a wolf cut, and bring reference pictures. Hershberger says to ask your stylist for many shaggy layers with waves. Depending on your desired look, you can choose to go with bangs or curtains bangs. Both look great when paired with this style. She says you can make the style as dramatic or subtle as you like.
How to style a Wolf Cut
The wolf cut is not difficult to maintain but requires daily care. If you leave the style as it is, it may have less volume or fall flat, depending on your hair type. Curling or blowing out your straight hair will give it more importance. You can air-dry your hair if it is curly, wavy, or textured.
Look for styling products that have formulas that increase volume and products that add texture. Use sea salt sprays to add texture or texturizing creams and pomades to enhance your waves. Work them in with your fingers. You can refresh your style by simply rubbing it with your fingers to give it a rougher texture.
