‘Wolf Cut’: The fashionable hairstyle among celebrities, ideal for cleaning the ends

In the world of trends, all the great fashion returns. In 2023, for example, we saw our clothes return to the most nostalgic of 2000. Denim and faux leather took center stage, along with silhouettes from the past as iconic as flared trousers, pleated skirts or crop tops. Everything returns to give a second life to what I surely thought was forgotten and buried.you just need to see the return of the corduroy to confirm it.

Of course, all these style variants are perfectly adaptable in the field of beauty. not just the world of retail echoes the past to influence its collections as well over the past year, stylists from around the world brought true retro milestones back to the industry, from makeup to her stylist. An example? The mullet haircut, which has been ringing in salons incessantly since last summer and which is reinvented this new year in a new silhouette halfway between the mullet and the shag effect: the ‘wolf haircut’ haircut.

Today we find out more about this trendy haircut in 2023 and some hairdressing tricks that professional stylists recommend to master it at home. Take note, because we predict you’ll want to try it this winter.

Considered one of the trending hairstyles of the season, The wolf cut is a flattering (and daring) hairstyle that focuses on structuring our hair and giving it special volume, always, work in layers. “Born as a new incarnation of the 1970s shag and 1980s mulletthe wolf cut is presented as one of the new trends in 2023, flattering for all hair lengths and textures, and adaptable to every face shape,” explains Miguel José Freita, stylist at Blow Dry Bar.

We are talking about a somewhat risky haircut, but one that heals our hair like no other and restores the health of our hair layer after layer. As Feita points out “The cut is characterized by short, choppy layers and the removal of a lot of weight” allowing significant release of the hair closest to the face, allowing it to “enhance and stand out the top part of the hair”.

Of course we must be sure that we are determined to carry it and, above all, to defend it. As Diana Daureo, professional stylist and head of the Diana Daureo Salon, says: “They are cuts chosen by the most daring. One of the concerns of women is to feel that they have a lot of hair and precisely with this cut you do not have the feeling of lush hair, but rather little hair. It is for those who want to give their everyday life a more chic and modern touch”.

These types of cuts are characterized by a design of marked layers, where the fringe and length will be decisive. As Sandra Sadler, co-director of Coolday Madrid, points out: “The Wolf Cut is a subtle mix between the mullet cut and the shag cut. This new trend it is characterized by long tapered bangs (specific to the mullet cut) and particularly faded lengths (specifically the shaggy cut). However, the Wolf Cut differs from its two predecessors by the simple fact that it can be worn on short hair, but also on medium or very long hair. a firm favorite for those looking for a specific change, but without abusing extreme lengthslike with the mullet.

The Wolf Cut can be adjusted to anyone, It’s a perfect cut to soften all faces, from round to long. “It allows you to fill in long faces and at the same time refine round faces. It is also suitable for all hair types and offers a lot of movement and more volume. a perfect ally for fine hair. Always closely supervised by the stylist who knows how to maintain a coherent balance between the length of the hair and the layers for optimal results and comfort of the style,” says Sandra Sadler, co-director of Coolday Madrid.

However, despite how flattering this type of cut is, we need to pay attention to what and how we want this silhouette, as it may be too youthful or risky for the person asking for it. As Moncho Moreno, professional hairdresser and director of the Moncho Moreno hair salon, explains: “I think it’s a rather youthful, very personal cut that you have to know how to defend in order to wear it.

It is indicated for young people who like this type of style in which the bangs play the main role, apart from the gradient. But It is very important that the person who chooses it has hair that already has a natural movement.because if it’s a little bit dark, it will help a lot to make sure the style matches the movement that’s being worn,” he says.

When dealing with this kind of cuts, more risky, at home, many doubts can arise. How can I comb it so as not to distort the layers? Do all the products I have used so far work? Do I need to style certain layers of my cut in a certain way? Well, to the surprise of many, it is easier than you think and only requires a few tools, patience and a lot of perseverance.

As Miguel José Freita, stylist at Blow Dry Bar, tells us, “this cut requires good maintenance, the key is blow-drying with a round brush to add volume and waves, then finish with a textured hairspray or volumizing powder to give it a rough and casual feel”. In addition, we must take into account that the very defined treatment of the layers makes its treatment mandatory every certain period, “Ideally, you should update it every 2 or 3 months.because it’s a cut that requires a lot of work on the texture to promote the hair’s natural movement,” explains Diana Daureo.

And if you want to stand out and look even better with your new hairstyle, Moncho Moreno does not give the decisive key: color. “It is very interesting to wear color in a wolf cutbecause if you wear it really dark, you don’t see that much movement, but if you wear a little more color, lighter, it helps a lot, like a pointed balayage effect, a paraded pizazz… The color always makes these cuts have a really cool style.” there stands that.
