“A wolf cut for long hair is a fusion of two timeless haircuts: the shag and the mullet. This cut is structured with tons of layers to highlight women’s natural texture. It’s the viral hairstyle from TikTok, worn by iconic celebrities like Debby Ryan, Miley Cyrus, and Billie Eilish.

Hairdresser Angelica Arvizu, based in Arlington, Texas, specializes in vibrant colors and alternative hairstyles. According to Angelica Arvizu, wolf cuts are meant to give a sense of ruggedness and distress. Women can style them with their personal touch.

“This shaggy mullet hairstyle is amazing for the alternative community. They can flaunt this outdated style with their hair, clothes, and makeup,” she shares.

Unlike neat haircuts, the mix of layers creates a fun and dramatic look. It brings out a lot of layers, volume, and texture in hair using a razor and thinning shears. If you’re up for this idea, go for it!

Arvizu’s first tip is to invest in a good texturizing spray. She emphasizes that “not everything has to be sleek and boring.”

Otherwise, if a highly layered cut worries you, don’t opt for it.

When seeking advice from your hairstylist, don’t forget to ask about styling your hair, especially the fringe.

“The fringe is what ties the whole look together,” explains Arvizu. Knowing the steps and techniques is crucial to recreate the style at home.
