The wolf cut is set to be one of the most requested styles in salons this summer, and Rainbow Room International Creative Director, Diana Carson, explains why… Seen on celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Cara Delevingne, Jenna Ortega and Suki Waterhouse, it’s a cut that looks edgy and statement making. However, one of the reasons it’s gained such popularity is how wearable it actually is. Part shag, part mullet, the wolf cut combines choppy layers with movement and volume, making it adaptable to a wide range of hair types and client lifestyles.

The mid-length version of the wolf is arguably the most versatile as it will suit a wide range of clients. The layers are choppy but controlled, with slightly shorter crown sections to create subtle lift, and lengths that typically fall around the collarbone.

The short bixie wolf is a bolder take on the trend. With shorter layers at the nape that gradually blend into longer, choppier pieces, it creates a strong, confident shape that works particularly well on fine or straight hair.

For clients with thick or heavy hair, the long wolf cut offers a softer, more textured option. Longer layers remove weight while keeping the cut full and dynamic, and pairing the style with shaggy bangs adds dimension.
