Wolfcut Mastery

Description:
The Wolfcut is one of today’s most popular hybrid styles, blending the edgy flow of a shag with the rebellious length of a mullet. Its layered top provides volume and texture, while the tapered or faded sides keep it modern and sharp. Barbers need to focus on controlled layering, point-cutting for movement, and clean blending at the transition points. This style works beautifully across multiple hair textures, especially when enhanced with the right styling products.

Key Techniques Covered:

  • Sectioning and layering for volume.

  • Creating texture with shears and razors.

  • Blending sides into longer tops without harsh lines.

  • Styling finishes for straight, wavy, and curly textures.

Style & Care:
At home, clients should:

  • Use a lightweight texturizing spray or mousse to bring out the natural flow.

  • Blow-dry with a diffuser to enhance volume without frizz.

  • Avoid heavy gels that weigh hair down.

  • Book trims every 4–6 weeks to maintain balance between layers and length.
