It’s in the name! The wolf cut should look undone, wild and fierce, reminiscent of a wolf’s fur. Also look out for the dramatic, heavy fringe or curtain bangs.

You’ll see lots of volume on top, daring shorter layers at the front and a tapered, wispier finish at the bottom. It’s inspired by the choppy texture of a mullet and follows a similar pattern and shape but has the softness and wearability of a shag cut.

What is a wolf cut?Ī wolf cut is a creative version of a mullet. If you’re ready for the chop, find your closest Rush hairdressers and get booked in! We’ll help you tailor the look to your tresses and your taste. Here’s Michael Rackett, a member of the Rush International Artistic Team, with his thoughts on this enduring, animalistic trend, plus some of our favourite wolf cut ideas. (And resist the urge to cut it yourself at home!) Now, if you decide to try out a wolf hairstyle in 2022, know that you’ll be working a bold, grungy, cool-girl aesthetic: think Billie Eilish, not Kim K. The wolf haircut is not to be entered into lightly though a combination of the shag and the mullet, it was born in South Korea and got popular in the UK when we were all stuck at home, and a bad DIY haircut was the least of our worries. Particularly as every hair length and hair type unlocks a host of different wolfy looks. And yet, you can find a way of wearing it that feels unique to your personal taste. The wolf cut is one of those hairstyle trends that *everyone* seems to love – in fact, at the time of writing, at least 120k Google searches are made every month and vids using the hashtag #wolfcut have had over a billion views on TikTok.
