50 Trendy Shaggy Wolf Cut Ideas That Scream Effortless Cool

I remember my first experience with the shaggy wolf cut style when I had my first client who had been wearing the same blunt long bob for nearly a decade. Even though she wasn’t unhappy with it, she had become so disinterested with her hair that it was starting to become a problem. That same day we brought her in for a layered wolf cut, and I watched her touch her hair in the mirror 4 times before she left, like she was going to the ball. That’s how strong the effect of this haircut is when you do it well and give the client that feeling of something fresh.

What I love the most about the shaggy wolf cut is its fluidity in terms of its classification. Some of the looks are more structural and build up, while others are more loose and shaggy. Depending on the person wearing the look, the layers can be more or less pronounced, and an excellent stylist knows how to make the right decision at cutting time. I’ve put together a selection here that ranges from deep crimson color work to soft golden blonde, from tight curls to pin straight textures, as this style is highly adaptable. Feel free to look and see what you like best.

#1: Textured Shaggy Wolf Cut with Face-Framing Layers


This haircut has some added long layers which help shape and move the hair. The framing pieces are also perfectly positioned to highlight cheekbones without being too much. Natural waves are present in this haircut as well. The looseness of the hair is something that people will not be able to achieve with a flat iron. Any bend that the hair has will be enhanced and maximimized with this haircut.

#2: Effortlessly Tousled Mid-Length Wolf Cut


What stands out the most about this particular cut is how it handles thick, wavy hair. The layers remove just the right amount of weight so everything shifts and nothing flies away. I also want to mention the color here. The subtle shift from darker roots to lighter ends is so well done that it looks natural, not what we consider processed. This is a cut that, believe it or not, looks better on day two than day one, which shows how well it’s done. You may want to get it reshaped every few months to prevent the ends from dragging, but it takes care of itself more or less between appointments.

#3: Deep Crimson Disconnected Wolf Cut


Thank you for your commitment! The shade of red and how it is separated into layers gives energy in a way that a solid color cut wouldn’t. There is a lot of structure going on around the crown and bangs; shorter pieces create lift while longer lengths keep things down. I’ll be honest, with you, though, vivid colors are a relationship. You are going to need a color depositing shampoo between visits, and those visits are going to need to be frequent. But when it’s fresh, it is a lot of work to maintain.

#4: Rich Chestnut Waves with Fringed Bangs


I particularly appreciate the bangs on this look. They have been chopped with tons of texture so that it’s not just a solid block across the forehead, and that really helps. The warm chestnut color is nice and not too dark, and the lighter layering makes the waves do the talking. This is the cut for you if you have a head of naturally bouncy hair, but you’ve been blow drying it straight for years. The bangs are going to need a lot of upkeep and they will need to be trimmed every three to four weeks, but spending that little bit of time is totally worth it for the face framing that always looks super intentional.

#5: Feathered Ash Blonde Wolf Cut with Soft Bangs


The ash blonde shade detracts from the appearance of flatness. She has bangs that soften the overall look and aren’t overpowering to the rest of the hair. I think it looks stunning at this medium length; it’s in that perfect zone of not being too committed, and at the same time, not being too safe. All you need is a little bit of texture spray on damp hair, and that’s pretty much it. Because of the cut being as polished as it looks, you’ll need to plan to tone the color every few weeks since it will pull warm.

#6: Captivating Curly Shag with Lush Volume


The designer seems to appreciate the curl pattern and the direction in which they cut the hair. Layers that sit at shoulder height are good for medium density curls as they give enough room for the curls to spring up without being too short. The face framing curls have a nice definition and are not over styled. With the curl length and moisture dependent definition, you will want to keep a hydrating conditioner in your regular rotation. Don’t panic about the curls; the cut will do the most work for you.

Wispy Blonde Wolf Cut with Delicate Texture

#7: Wispy Blonde Wolf Cut with Delicate Texture


The style’s subtlety is nice. The movement created by the wispy ends is understated, and that type of restraint is crucial on medium to finer textures. If there had been a lot of heavy layering, they would have lost that density, and the person who did this had a great sense of equilibrium! Bangs just at brow level is a nice cut for most (particularly long) face shapes. You should be good with a lightweight conditioner on those ends!

#8: Subtle Ash Blonde Wolf Cut with Delicate Layers


The best part is how versatile this is! This is a wolf cut you can wear to a client meeting on Tuesday and a rooftop dinner on Saturday. The layers are gentle and cascading instead of being choppy. The ash blonde color is cool enough to look modern but not silver. The face-framing pieces hit the cheekbones just right. It’s the kind of cut that grows out nicely. That said, you’ll want to keep a trim every six weeks to keep the layers intentional.

Effervescent Dark Curls with Subtle Highlights

#9: Effervescent Dark Curls with Subtle Highlights


These caramel highlights look so good they almost seem to be placed randomly. The contrast with the black base color beautifully adds some dimension to the hair. If the hair were to be one solid color, it would really lose that depth. The cut here does a lot of work, too. It’s removing some bulk around the face while keeping the volume. This is also a cut that doesn’t mind being neglected. The curls will look better the less you touch them. To get this look, however, you will need to be very good about conditioning. The hair needs to stay moist, or the curls will lose their shape. The best method to achieve this is to apply a curl-defining cream to wet hair and leave it.

#10: Ebony Wolf Cut with Crimson Dip-Dyed Ends


The black base with the red tips is a good balance where it stands out but is not too overpowering. I think that’s because the color change is somewhat gradual instead of an abrupt change. Also, the thick layers help to mesh the two colors together. The volume is higher as well which means the darker color at the bottom won’t weigh the whole cut down. Make sure to maintain the red ends because they will turn a dirty copper color if you don’t. The cut is structured and solid enough to look good even when the color dulls.

Layered Espresso Wolf Cut with Airy Bangs
Instagram: kiyo_meynewyork

#11: Layered Espresso Wolf Cut with Airy Bangs


The espresso color is pulling off something pretty clever here. It adds a depth to the layers that is not as visible with a lighter shade, so every cut line is seen and adds to the texture. The bangs are airy in a way that feels more like intentional than grown-out, and they feel just heavy enough to give some presence to the bangs without closing off the face. With finer hair, this sort of layering is what divides flat and full, and the medium length keeps everything in proportion. It’s one of those cuts that looks amazing in photos, but looks even better in motion.

Playfully Tousled Mid-Length Wolf Shag with Blonde Highlights

#12: Playfully Tousled Mid-Length Wolf Shag with Blonde Highlights


The highlights are meant to look as if they are blended into the natural color of the hair to appear more natural. The way they are cut allows the highlights to catch the light and reflect that sun-kissed color rather than a artificial salon color. The cut is clean with layers that are meant to add bulk in the middle sections and avoid the ends looking stringy. It’s a perfect everyday haircut, the kind that you can wash, leave to air-dry and look like you’ve styled it. The ends will need a leave-in conditioner to keep them smooth inbetween trims.

Bouncy Natural Curls with Luminous Black Tones

#13: Bouncy Natural Curls with Luminous Black Tones


The rich, deep color of the hair suggests that it is well-maintained, which is a significant part of the challenge when it comes to black shades. Healthy black hair will shine, while dull and dry black hair will not. The curls are defined, thick, shoulder length, and the cut allows them to frame the face without being too much. I would say this is a cut for someone who knows their curls really well and wants a shape that celebrates them as opposed to rearranging them. This style is super low maintenance along with a good moisturizer.

Mesmerizing Charcoal Tousled Shag with Side-Swept Bangs

#14: Mesmerizing Charcoal Tousled Shag with Side-Swept Bangs


An aspect of this haircut that I appreciate is the side-swept bangs. They create a diagonal line across the face. This helps give the illusion of angles, even with the softest features. The bangs along with the tousled layers give an effortlessly cool vibe. Medium density hair is best for this shag as it is just enough to allow for layers, but not so much that the layers lose their definition. You’ll most likely grab some dry shampoo on day two to soak up some grease and to keep the volume at the roots, but that is really the only work you’ll have to do on this style.

Edgy Black Wolf Cut with Choppy Bangs
Instagram: wad_kiko

#15: Edgy Black Wolf Cut with Choppy Bangs


The bangs have been cut severely. They are purposeful and blunt, and they set the tone for the rest of the style. The rest of the cut goes along with it, with layers that feel more decisive than blended. On straight hair, that kind of precision is really important because every angle and line is visible, which means the cut needs to be good because there’s no hiding place. The black color adds to that sharpness. It’s a style that requires a lot of confidence, and a lot of the same from the person doing the cutting, so it’s nice to see that. Those bangs are going to need touch ups every few weeks to keep them out of your eyes.

Golden-Toned Layered Wolf Cut with Soft Blending

#16: Golden-Toned Layered Wolf Cut with Soft Blending


The blending on the face is incredible. There are no obvious signs where the different layers start. They just open around the cheekbones and the jaw which is very softening and not easy to do. The gold is a really mellow tone so you won’t have to come in to do color as often, and the slight wave gives the layers some movement without really having to style it. It’s a really great looking cut , practical which believe it or not really makes it great. It looks like someone who naturally has amazing hair which is probably the best compliment you can give a haircut.

Choppy Shaggy Wolf Cut with Seamless Layers

#17: Choppy Shaggy Wolf Cut with Seamless Layers


What I find engaging about this particular cut is how there is some interesting interplay between the choppy texture on top and the overall fluidity of the layers. On finer hair, that contrast can create the illusion of density. The choppy texture reflects light and shadow differently, which creates a visual sense of fullness. The bangs that are brushing against the brows are at the perfect height and give definition to the face without needing to be fussed with. The light, natural highlights are woven in so subtly that they only serve to enhance the dimension of the cut. You’ll want to keep up with regular trims because on fine hair, the difference between purposely choppy and just grown out is very noticeable.

Casual Curly Wolf Cut with Playful Bangs

#18: Casual Curly Wolf Cut with Playful Bangs


This cut has bangs, which is awesome! Curly hair and bangs is not a combo that always is a winner though. They might spring up super short or completely lose their shape by lunchtime. But these bangs have enough length and texture so that they don’t just disappear and instead, frame the eyes perfectly. As for the rest of the cut, it allows the curls to do whatever they want. The layers are placed to create volume in some spots and to prevent the whole cut from looking triangular. If your hair curls naturally, this is a cut that won’t require styling to look good. Just a quick spray with some curl refresher in the morning and you’re good to go!

Modern Chestnut Wolf Cut with Layered Fringe

#19: Modern Chestnut Wolf Cut with Layered Fringe


The chestnut color adds some warmth and makes the style appear approachable. The layered fringe blends softly into the rest of the cut and does not sit on top of it. This sort of integration is beneficial on rounder face shapes as it gives the illusion of length which blunt bangs would detract from. The mid-lengths create texture while maintaining a more relaxed vibe overall. There is a lot of versatility with this cut. You can go for a true wash and wear style, or if you want to spend about 5 minutes with a round brush and add some definition, you can do that as well. Either way there is a thoughtful shape created.

Layered Midnight Shag with Wispy Bangs

#20: Layered Midnight Shag with Wispy Bangs


Almost black shades create a beautiful contrast to lighter skin tones, and capture details of the haircut. This includes the choppy layers, the wispy bangs, and the way the hair oddly frames the face and falls in uneven lengths. For straight, thick hair, shag haircuts require layered cuts to prevent the hair from looking like a solid wall. Thankfully, this style has enough layers to help the hair move. The bangs are wispy which allows for a youthful and light appearance. If you want to do this from a lighter color, be prepared for maintenance. Deep colors require color touch ups often for them to rich and fresh.

Voluminous Tousled Shag with Chocolate Hues

#21: Voluminous Tousled Shag with Chocolate Hues


This style feels more real than the other options, and the lived-in texture gets the hard-to-establish look just right. The chocolate tone has just the right amount of variation to direct the eye, while the layers refrained from clashing with the natural curls. On medium to thick hair, this type of layering will get rid of the triangle silhouette, while keeping all the volume. And of course, all that versatility means you can smooth out the hair into a sleek look or scrunch the hair up for maximum texture. It does all the work for you and that is always nice.

Lavish Purple Layered Bob with Curled Ends

#22: Lavish Purple Layered Bob with Curled Ends


I will say that I have mixed feelings when it comes to bright fantasy colors, but I think for this particular instance I really like it. The colors change with the light, and the purple and lilac shades are blended really well. I the the curled ends give it so much more movement than a straight bob would in this color. Overall, it looks super cute! The way the layers are cut to preserve the bounce in the curls is really impressive, and it’s good that she didn’t have to thin everything out. This style, without a doubt, turns heads! The only downside to this style is the maintenance. As I mentioned before, vivid colors fade quickly, so in between salon visits you’re going to need a color-depositing conditioner to keep it from washing out.

Cascading Curly Layers with Natural Volume

#23: Cascading Curly Layers with Natural Volume


For thick and dense hair, this is how intentional layering should be done. This style lets the curls flow and fall and gets rid of the bulky layer look. It also maintains that gorgeous, high-volume look curly hair naturally has. The overall shape is rounded and soft while still being structured. Hydration is going to have to be a bit of a commitment here. Think daily moisturizers and deep conditioners. The good news is because the structure and shape of this is solid, the daily styling is going to be a lot less of a commitment. If you have been fighting the good fight against your curl density and getting cuts that thin everything out, this is a far better option.

Natural Curled Chestnut Bob with Subtle Layers

#24: Natural Curled Chestnut Bob with Subtle Layers


To the best of my understanding, this is a subtle cut. The warm chestnut color is quite flattering, and the curls are free to show their personality, while the gentle layers are soft enough to create balance so that nothing feels too heavy or out of place. It’s the kind of cut that earns the compliment: “Oh, your hair looks amazing” instead of “Oh, I love your haircut.” It doesn’t shout for attention, it simply offers some quiet elegance to look your best. In terms of maintenance, this is as good as it gets on medium-density, naturally curly hair. All you need to do is keep the hair well hydrated and leave it.

Dynamic Auburn Wolf Cut with Soft Bangs

#25: Dynamic Auburn Wolf Cut with Soft Bangs


The auburn color here closely compliments the skin, creating a warm hue that looks healthy and lit from within. The soft bangs are just enough to shift the frame without being too heavy, and the shoulder length layers give fine hair some extra body. I appreciate the fact this style doesn’t try to be more than what it is, and it is true that sometimes what you need is a good looking, well done, wolf cut – and it is really nice to see one of them that is flattering and easy to maintain. No more fuss than air drying the hair, running fingers through it and calling it done.

Effortless Brunette Waves with Soft Bangs
Instagram: edgardo.salon

#26: Effortless Brunette Waves with Soft Bangs


The cut shows off the full style because of the layers and using the natural wave pattern. The soft bangs and face framing layers fuse so seamlessly that it reads as one single shape than multiple parts. For people with naturally curly or wavy hair, this cut gets better as it air dries. The curl tightens a little and the layers settle into their natural spots. You’ll likely need a lightweight anti-frizz serum to keep the hair polished especially in the humidity, but the true styling time is basically zero.

#27: Burgundy Waves with Soft Fringe


Fringe can soften a jawline while avoiding the appearance of concealing anything. Burgundy color can be dramatic or natural based on the location. This color is in the sweet spot. Mid length waves create added volume to thin hair which is relaxed enough to be air dried easily. Color maintenance for burgundy is real and you’ll likely prefer to plan ahead as fading is more rapid than with most colors.

#28: Sultry Dark-Toned Shag with Layered Ends


The photo is taken from an angle that makes it look asymmetric, and could probably get lost in a shot taken from directly in front of them. To me, that asymmetry allows the personality of the cut to come out. There is more movement on one side of the ‘swing’ than there would be with a symmetrical cut. In thicker, somewhat wavy hair, the choppy layers around the crown create volume and then thin toward the ends where you don’t want that. A cut that looks like it just fell into place, to me, means someone really spent time to make it look like that.

Textured Shag Cut with Feathered Fringe

#29: Textured Shag Cut with Feathered Fringe


The way the feathered fringe integrates with the other layers is so smooth that it looks like one, and it’s hard to tell the fringe is a separate from the other layers. With a somewhat dense, wavy mass of hair like that, it really keeps the face open, and prevents the fringe from looking heavy or dated. The mid-length layers will make the hair look really full without having to do any styling, although you will need to re-trim the fringe fairly often to keep it how you like it. For someone wanting a statement cut without the maintenance, it’s a good option.

#30: Chic Asymmetrical Layered Wolf Cut


The gap in the upper and lower smooth sections is what really stands out about this style. It shows the designer’s intention, as opposed to a grow-out accident, and gives a silhouette that sets it apart from standard wolf cuts. When it comes to thick hair, the layers will remove bulk exactly where it’s needed, while with thin hair, the upper layers provide volume and the lower smooth section creates a counterbalance to that volume. It might take a little longer for the two sections to converge, but the end result is a look that stands out from the crowd.

Softly Curled Layered Wolf Cut with Fringe

#31: Softly Curled Layered Wolf Cut with Fringe


The fringe in this hairstyle integrates seamlessly with the hair, which makes rounded faces look more softer and smoother without harsh lines. The waves here look soft and relaxed, and you’d typically achieve relaxed waves like this two days post hair wash. The mid-length of this hairstyle makes for hassle-free styling, it looks good worn as a low ponytail which depicts how well the hair has been layered. This cut will embrace your natural curls and waves which will save time in your daily routine.

Whirlwind Curly Wolf Cut with Natural Elegance

#32: Whirlwind Curly Wolf Cut with Natural Elegance


Each ringlet falls into its formation, so the cut goes with the curl pattern. The back of the cut is more layered for added structure to the overall shape of the cut. In front, the cut has softer layering so the shape is more open and flattering to the face. Curly hair is severely deep and light layered, and that’s what distinguishes great from good. A cut like this is moisture hungry, and that means the shape allows for little daily styling. A cut like this is designed for low maintenance, so you can let the shape do its work.

Sleek Tawny Wolf Cut with Subtle Waves

#33: Sleek Tawny Wolf Cut with Subtle Waves


The dusty brown color is interesting in a unique way that is not too interesting. The color gives a softness that complements the lighter layers near the face. The slight waves help avoid a flat look to the style, and it keeps the style from looking too done. It is a perfect balance of effort. This is a well-structured cut where the overs and unders are done perfectly. Proportion is great, and everything is balanced in form and function. The face framing layers do offer some enhancement to the jawline, and that is a positive. This is a timeless cut that will look good on the wearer for years as they grow it out.

#34: Flowing Chestnut Curls with Soft Side-Swept Bangs


These curls are lovely and healthy! Their chestnut hue adds depth and dimension to each coil in a way a flat color would miss completely. The side bangs are cut long enough to be able to be tucked behind the ear which makes a day-to-day difference to practicality. With thicker, naturally curly hair like this, the subtle layering keeps the volume in check while still full enough to keep the curls really striking. To keep up with this level of definition, you’re going to want to do a deep conditioning mask once a week and while daily curl rejuvenation might be required to keep it looking fresh between wash days, it’s clear the work pays off!

#35: Subtle Golden Wolf Cut with Face-Framing Layers


One of the things a haircut does best is, in this case, literally nothing, and that is exactly what’s happening here. With layers that fall into a golden blonde that has obviously been grown out, the color makes this whole look so effortless that it appears as though it has been grown out like this on purpose. With straight hair of medium density, this much layering will only accentuate the shape of the hair as it is, without imposing a new shape. Furthermore, the face-framing pieces are the perfect length to hit the cheekbone and reflect the light. It is the type of haircut that makes people think you have incredible hair, which is the objective. You want to achieve this with as little product and styling as possible to create a lot of impact.

#36: Effortlessly Chic Brunette Wolf Cut with Natural Waves


The soft layering allows the hair to naturally wavy hair form a wave pattern instead of breaking it up, so it looks better air dried than blow dried, which is a true luxury for people sick of spending 20 minutes around brushing their hair everyday. The haircut creates more hair on thinner textures, and the framing elongates softly for rounder face shapes. The cut is as low effort as it gets, although in humidity you may want to use a product to keep the waves looking defined instead of fuzzy.

#37: Trendy Shaggy Wolf Cut with Soft Layers


The finished crown volume reduces the cut height and balances the shoulder length fall with the layers cut to increase at the right places. The layering shines and so do the subtle highlights as they provide dimension. Great pair as it gives the cut and color their own space to do their own thing without getting in each other’s way. The shape of this look develops as it air dries with the natural waves. Even though the laid back texture is tousled, the proportions are very deliberate. If you keep your trims every 6 to 8 weeks, this cut will maintain its intention.

Modern Shaggy Wolf Cut with Soft Bangs

#38 Modern Shaggy Wolf Cut with Soft Bangs

These bangs hit that perfect length to frame and not widen. It’s a tricky balance! With fine to medium hair, the mid/long range allows enough room for layers to bring in some texture and movement. This gives the look an overall contemporary touch, without being overly trendy. The different textures combined from smooth on top to more movement on the smoother ends creates a lot of interest. If you want an even look, this cut will be too uniform. You’ll have to keep trimming those bangs. Any growth past that will throw off the balance of the style.

#39: Chic Textured Wolf Cut with Soft Bangs


The style and cut accentuate the waves in your hair. The layers are strategically placed to enhance your hair’s natural texture, creating movement that changes throughout the day as your hair settles. The bangs sit slightly above the eye and have a soft, effortless style. A clean and photo-friendly overall shape is balanced with enough looseness to keep it comfortable, which is something I really like. Subtle highlights add depth and are a great option for this cut, though they aren’t necessary.

#40: Edgy Shaggy Wolf Cut with Subtle Face-Framing Layers


These soft, frame-face layers are so blended that they don’t scream “layers.” They surround the face beautifully and look super natural, especially with the warm toned color that adds to that natural vibe. On finer hair, subtle layering like this is much better than anything more drastic. It helps to keep a lot of the density while creating that look of movement. It is low maintenance but gives a great look that will always be flattering. Getting trims every 6 weeks or so will keep the layers looking fresh.

Stylish Shaggy Wolf Cut with Soft Layers

#41: Stylish Shaggy Wolf Cut with Soft Layers


These bangs provide a youthful element that completely changes this hairstyle, elevating it from a simple layered shag to something more unique. Fine hair allows the layers to create just the right amount of separation to reflect light and give the appearance of additional thickness. The natural shine shows that the hair is healthy, and that is always a plus with a new cut. If your hair tends to get flat as the day goes on, consider a volumizing mousse at the roots before blow drying to create some lift. This haircut already has some built-in lift that will work to your advantage.

#42: Effortlessly Cool Shaggy Wolf Cut with Subtle Layers


With this style, the face-framing layers soften the look to create something that is not too structured, yet still works for every face shape. The length is below the shoulders and is also versatile enough to be worn in a ponytail, or down without feeling bulky. Plus, if you want that polished look, the natural waves provide texture without the work.

Playful Shaggy Wolf Cut with Vibrant Highlights

#43: Playful Shaggy Wolf Cut with Vibrant Highlights


I appreciate the pink highlights! They added so much more than just color to the cut, and they helped to personalize it. I also appreciate how the color is not concentrated in one area, and that it makes the color look blended with the hair instead of just sitting over the top. The textured layers also look great because they add volume to fine and medium hair, and the bangs are cut with just the right amount of weight to hold their shape while also feeling light and airy. I also think the look is fun and flattering on oval and heart shaped faces without being too much. If you want to play with color and don’t want to go for a full commitment, then highlighting like this is a great place to start!

#44: Textured Shaggy Wolf Cut with Bold Color Contrast


The different colors of your roots and ends provide great contrast and helps the layers pop. The combination of colors and the cut create a style that is intentional and thought out. The contrast can help give the illusion of thicker hair because people associate more colors with more volume. The ends will need regular trims to make sure they stay healthy. It’s really not a big deal to keep that look. Overall the length is adaptable and the shape is refined. Depending on the bond repairing treatments you do, the ends can be kept from getting brittle.

#45: Chic Shaggy Wolf Cut with Soft Texture and Volume


The way this cut’s dark-to-light gradient has been done makes it feel more sun-kissed than intentional. This playful quality extends to the entire style. I like how the overall shape is softly rounded; it adds fullness without the need for heat and styling products to maintain. It has that ‘run your fingers through it’ kind of vibe.

#46: Textured Shaggy Wolf Cut with Natural Waves


This haircut is ideal for people with naturally wavy hair. The cut is designed to encourage the hair to wave rather than sit flat, and the length of this cut keeps everything in proportion. On fine to medium hair this will provide just the right amount of layering to assist the hair in obtaining some lift and separation, but won’t create so much layering that the hair will be thinned out. It’s a playful style that is really easy to manage. For people wanting a bit more structure in the hair, a wave cream can be applied to the hair while damp and it will do the trick. You’re going to forget about your flat irons with this cut!

Bold Shaggy Wolf Cut with Defined Bangs

#47: Bold Shaggy Wolf Cut with Defined Bangs


These bangs are really defining. They are strong enough to anchor the structure, and the layered lengths cascading from them create a silhouette with real movement and shape. I want to mention the subtle undercut at the nape. Most people won’t see it, but it contributes a lot to how the cut sits and moves. It is slight weight removal at the bottom, which on thicker hair, helps everything above to swing more. The natural wave adds to the texture and the result is a look that has a real edge but is still easy to wear.

#48: Playful Shaggy Wolf Cut with Defined Curls


This cut and color combo will add depth and warmth to her curl pattern, and using an auburn color will achieve that. This shoulder length cut is perfect for curls because it will allow the curls to slowly elongate without fully straightening the shape. The bangs will also lay nicely instead of bouncing up if the length of the cut is appropriate for the soft bangs which will be the case here. This style will look awesome once she stops overthinking and just lets the curls do their thing. A light-hold product for definition and regular conditioning will make this cut quite low maintenance.

#49: Softly Layered Shaggy Wolf Cut with Natural Movement


The modest flips at the ends of the style bring back a hint of retro and the whole look is quite clean and modern. The soft layers create enough texture so the hair actually looks voluminous instead of flat and one-dimensional. This length is suitable for all face shapes. You don’t have to spend a lot of time with a brush to create that flip at the ends, and it’ll look amazing air-dried. The style is modern, clean, and effortless.

Vibrant Shaggy Wolf Cut with Textured Layers

#50 Vibrant Shaggy Wolf Cut with Textured Layers

Depending on where the light hits the hair, the multiple shades of auburn create contrast that a single process color job can’t match. The bangs aren’t too heavy, and the lightly and easy textured layers around the face make it super easy. With medium to fine hair, the layers create the illusion of a lot more volume and movement without sacrificing too much hair, and the medium length layered cut keeps everything super manageable. It’s a warm cut with personality that’s perfect for someone who wants their hair to feel like a part of their identity, rather than something you just throw on in the morning. The good thing about auburn is that it has a strong contrast. Instead of just fading, it shifts to warmer tones.
