What Is The Wolf Cut?

Some people say the wolf cut is a modern day mullet, while others argue it’s more of a shag haircut. What we know for sure is that this sensational style is a current iteration of hairstyles dating back to the ‘70s and ‘80s. It has tons of layers with shorter ones in the front and longer pieces in the back. It also features classic, straight bangs or side swept bangs to give the style even more body. It’s tousled, fierce and a bit wild like its name suggests.
