Wolf cut haircut
Layered volume on top and deliberate length at the back: somewhere between a shag and a mullet, messy on purpose. It looks natural on straight and wavy hair and takes little time to style.

What to tell your stylist
“I’d like a wolf cut. Please give me short layers on top and at the sides, with the volume concentrated on top. Keep the back close to shoulder length, and cut the fringe choppy so it frames my face.”
Tip: show the result you made in Mane too. A description plus a picture is the clearest brief.

About Wolf Cut
The wolf cut gets its name from the mane-like silhouette created by short, choppy layers on top and at the sides. The layers are cut with texture and the ends are left thin and wispy. The back stays longer, but without the sharp contrast of a mullet, since layers soften the transitions.
On oval, heart-shaped and long faces, the volume on top and the layers around the face look balanced. It adds body to fine hair, and as it grows out it can turn into a shag or long layers without losing its shape. A sea salt spray or light cream brings out the texture.
What’s the difference between a wolf cut and a mullet?
A mullet is short at the front and sides and clearly longer at the back. A wolf cut softens the transitions with layers: more volume on top, less difference at the back. You can try both on the same photo and compare.
Can I get a wolf cut from short hair?
You need at least chin-length hair at the back. When you try it in Mane, the AI can fill in the length, but factor in growing time in real life.
