Scissor

Wolf Cut

Heavy layering through the top with length kept underneath, so the shape is wide at the crown and shaggy at the ends. Wavy hair carries it best; straight fine hair tends to go flat.

No clippers — scissor length throughout

What to say

Ask for it like this.

Barbers work from instructions, not vibes. These are the three things that decide whether you get this cut or something adjacent to it.

  1. Ask for a wolf cut and say how aggressive you want the layering.
  2. Say you want length kept at the back and sides, only weight removed.
  3. Ask for the face-framing pieces to be cut shorter at the front.
Living with it

Five to six weeks. It looks intentional the entire way through the grow-out.
