What would I look like with a wolf cut?

Pick a wolf cut above and upload a selfie. In about 10 seconds you'll see it on your own face, so you can judge the crown volume, the fringe and the length at the back.

Is the wolf cut filter free?

Your first try-on is free and you don't need to sign up. To try more styles, buy credits or subscribe.

Can men use the wolf cut filter?

Yes. Switch the catalog to Male for men's wolf cuts, a wolf cut mullet and a long wolf cut. More men's styles are in men's hairstyles.

What's the difference between a wolf cut, a shag and a mullet?

A wolf cut is a mix of the two: heavy crown layers like a shag, with a longer, wispy back like a mullet. A shag spreads layers evenly; a mullet keeps the front short and the back long.

Does a wolf cut suit a round face?

It can. Keep it long, with height at the crown and layers that start below the cheekbones. A short, wide wolf cut makes a round face look rounder.

Does a wolf cut work on fine or straight hair?

Yes, with fewer and bigger layers so the ends don't look thin. Straight hair shows the layers best with a little texture spray or a quick blow-dry.

Can I try a wolf cut with bangs?

Yes. Several styles above come with curtain or wispy bangs. To compare fringes on their own, use the bangs filter.

Does the wolf cut work on curly hair?

It's one of the best textures for it. Curls add volume at the crown naturally; choose the curly wolf cut to see it on you.

Is there a wolf cut filter on TikTok, Snapchat or Instagram?

Yes, there are AR wolf cut lenses. They overlay a hairstyle on your camera; this filter generates a still preview from your photo that you can take to your stylist.

How long does a wolf cut take to grow out?

The crown layers are the shortest part, so plan on a few months of trims to blend them back into longer hair.

Wolf Cut Filter: Would a Wolf Cut Look Good on Me?

Wolf Cut vs Shag vs Mullet

Three cousins that stylists cut differently. Knowing which one you want saves a lot of explaining.

Cut	Shape	Volume	Back
Wolf cut	Choppy, heavily layered, often with curtain bangs	Most at the crown and top	Longer and wispy, tapering to the neck
Shag	Layers all over, softer and more even	Spread around the head	Same length as the sides
Mullet	Short front and sides, long back	Little on the sides	Clearly longer than the rest

Stylist advice

Who Suits a Wolf Cut?

The wolf cut works on more people than it looks, as long as the layers are placed for your face and texture.

Oval and Heart Faces

The easiest match. Curtain bangs balance a wider forehead, and the crown volume keeps the shape lively.

Round Faces

Go long with height at the crown and keep the side layers below the cheekbones. Skip a short, wide wolf cut.

Square and Long Faces

Wispy layers around the jaw soften a square face; bangs and side volume shorten a long one.

Fine Hair

Ask for fewer, bigger layers. Too much texturizing can leave fine ends looking thin.

Wavy and Curly Hair

The best texture for it. Natural movement does the styling, and a curly wolf cut needs little more than a diffuser.

Not Sure of Your Shape?

Find it from a selfie with the face shape detector, then come back and try a wolf cut that suits it.

How to Ask for a Wolf Cut

"Wolf cut" means different things to different stylists. Be specific.

1Bring your preview. Show the wolf cut on your own photo plus one reference of someone with your hair type.
2Say how much length to keep. Name the shortest point at the back, in inches.
3Choose your fringe. Curtain bangs, wispy bangs or no bangs change the whole look.
4Soft or choppy? A soft wolf cut has blended layers; a choppy one has visible steps and more edge.
5Mention your texture and routine. Straight hair needs a little styling to show the layers; wavy hair often doesn't.
6Book a trim in 6–8 weeks. The shape relies on the crown layers, which grow out first.
