Wave of trends from the East
Hair and makeup trends are often born on social networks, but even more often it is thanks to them that you can understand which current habits and preferences are best perceived by users. Therefore, you need to be prepared for the fact that your clients will come with a similar request.
So, among the trendy and very relevant haircuts today is the Wolf cut haircut. The haircut has grown in popularity over the past few months, with more than 15,000 requests for the #wolfcut hashtag on Instagram and more than 155 million views on TikTok.
Wolf cut is a light layered haircut with volume at the crown and graduated ends. In the usual version, which is most often found, the layers begin in the chin area. But the length of the top layer depends only on the client’s desire, on what length he wants to keep.
The origin of the wolf cut is explained as follows: this is one of the variations of the well-known and also popular in 2021 mullet haircut. Yes, just 5 years ago not everyone chose this haircut, moreover, the majority considered it ugly. But due to the constant return of trends from the 80s and 90s, the mullet has regained its trend position.
Some call the Wolf cut a cross between the original mullet and shag haircut. But one way or another, in 2021, the “wolf haircut” is a modernized version that was well received by young people.
Just as Korean makeup became a trend and was widely used by clients, the Wolf cut trend spread from Japan and South Korea. If you use the search “what does a Wolf cut haircut look like,” then most of the variations can be seen on Korean women, since in recent months this haircut has become a classic.
Wolf cut has gained such popularity among those with Asian hair because of its texture and graduated layers. These characteristics give the hair lightness, layering and texture, and the shape becomes more defined. That is why the haircut is perfect for owners of this structure.
Without styling, Wolf cut will not look complete. It will turn out flat if you don’t give it airiness, lightness, and carelessness with the help of styling mousse or medium-hold varnish. It is best to take mousse as a base and apply it to damp hair, while simultaneously texturing the strands.
