  1. Inspired by styles worn by K-pop stars, this version of the wolf cut adds a soft finish to straight hair. It’s less choppy than some other wolf cuts and gives your hair texture and depth. Ask for long, face-framing curtain bangs for a less edgy look.[6]
    • Fun fact: men’s wolf cuts first became popular in South Korea before being adopted by Western cultures.
    • Styling Tip: For a polished look, blow-dry your hair so it's smooth and shiny.

Textured Wolf Cut

  1. Ask for short layers at the top of your hair that thin out toward the ends. This gives your hair a lot of movement while making it look fuller on top. This cut is a great option for straight hair because of the added texture.
    • Styling Tip: Use both blow drying and air drying techniques to dry your wolf cut. Allow your hair to air dry until it’s slightly damp, then attach a diffuser to your blow dryer to add volume to your hair.[7]
