#1: Modern Wolf Cut with Curtain Bangs
This wolf cut gets its modern look by combining several haircut styles into one. By bringing forward the fringe and side framing parts, you can transform a classic shoulder-length bob into a wolf cut. Tucking the hair behind the ear gives your hairstyle a touch of style and highlights the pieces framing your face. If you untuck the hair from behind your ears, your hairstyle will return to a more classic bob shape.

#2: Pink Shagged Bob with Waves and Bangs
People often like to wear their natural hair texture in shaggy bobs. The hair has layers throughout, with shorter layers at the crown. These features give the style a wolf-cut vibe. Curtain bangs that graze the eyebrows will accentuate the facial features and enhance this style.

#3: Soft Layered Wolf Style for Thin Hair
A soft, layered wolf style is ideal for thin hair. Thin hair can benefit from more movement without losing too much of its fullness. A wolf cut with more length provides a frame to the face and jaw and includes a textured nape. Styling the hair’s framing to lean towards the front and creating a curtain style at the back will bring out the distinctive appeal of the wolf cut.

#4: Layered Wolf Cut Mullet
If you’re a fan of grunge, the layered wolf-cut mullet hairstyle is something you should try. It’s a simple hairstyle, yet so perfectly textured and disheveled. It resonates much with the 90s.

#5: Very Short Wolf Cut with Graduated Layers
When you request a wolf cut, it will contain many soft layers that either swept back nicely or flip out around your face. The wolf cut is a blend of a pixie and a mullet, as seen in this photo. You can ask for a longer or shorter version based on your hair texture and face shape. The wolf cut will give volume to the crown area of your head, while the hair on the sides and back tends to be more tapered.

#6: Shoulder-Length Wolf Shag with Choppy Bangs
Together, choppy bangs and a shoulder-length shag, often called a wolf shag become an appealing haircut. The best thing about a shag is that it can work on any face shape. Plus, a shoulder-length shag is good for fine hair textures. With shaggy layers of a shorter length, your hair can get the body it needs. These layers add volume to the top part and frame your eyes and cheekbones with classic shaggy petals. These style features emphasize facial features and give a youthful look.

#7: Swoopy Flicked Layers on Short Hair
A swoopy-flicked layering can add more style to short hair. Implementing wolf cuts on your short hair creates a lot of flips, adds texture, and gives volume through the crown and sides. Medium to fine hair textures work well with a cut that is short and layered. To increase texture, ask the stylist to use techniques such as point cutting and razoring. Texture sheets can also be used. These methods soften the hair ends and give a light, feathery feel.

#8: Mini Wolf Cut with Flipped Ends
We recommend trying a short, shaggy wolf cut if you have a convex face profile. A fuller bang can help balance a convex face profile. Additionally, shaggy flipped layers at the neck compliment convex facial lines. Considering both front and side facial features is key while creating a personalized style.

#9: Mid-Length Razored Haircut with Parted Bangs
A razored haircut with parted bangs works well on all hair types. This mid-length style is cute. To get a layered and shaggy look, ask for many layers. Razor cutting gives your hair texture and a casual look. The bang, the cut’s main focus, should be brushed outward for a modern look. Tousle your hair while blow-drying the rest of your wavy or straight locks.

#10: Wolf Bob with Red Underlights
You can show off some texture and a flip in your hair with a bobbed wolf cut featuring red underlights around your face and the hair’s perimeter. Coloring your hair can help to show off a cut. However, with thicker dark hair, adding some contrasting color is often necessary to show the texture and movement.

#11: Short Wolf Cut Bob on Fine Hair
It can be challenging to find the right cut for fine, finger-textured hair. However, a short wolf-cut bob might be a good option. This style creates layers and texture, adding movement and shape to fine hair. It’s ideal for those who want to reduce density and achieve a flowy look. For a bolder look, consider adding textured micro bangs. These would frame your face more dramatically.

#12: Cold Perm and Bangs on Wolf Bob Cut
You can apply a cold perm and add bangs to your wolf bob cut. If you’re looking to add volume at your crown and want lots of layers throughout, a short wolf cut would be a great style. Enhance your wolf cut with a cold perm. A classic perm doesn’t require heat. Depending on the curl size you want, you can choose to use bigger or smaller perm rods. They work great on straight hair and can make styling as easy as washing, applying the product, and going.
