A wolf cut for curly hair is the newest variation of a shag with lots of textured layers. It’s a fun and modern way of showing off your natural texture, giving it a nice shape and volume.
Siobhan Benson, a pro stylist from Brooklyn, NY says if you’re interested in a wolf cut, curly hair is the best texture. This layered cut works great for thicker tresses, too. The layers take a lot of weight and bulkiness from the hair, making it feel lightweight and thinner.
Not every lady might be ready for a wolf cut, though. “It’s essential to ask yourself whether you like a more extreme look or a softer shag,” says Benson. Always consider your style and your comfort zone, too.

#1: Micro Bangs
Work with your natural texture and choose micro bangs! While the wolf cut for naturally curly hair is a go-to for many women, adding micro bangs will make the look more unique to you. Added Bonus: Micro bangs are a great fringe choice for curly textures as they are easier to maintain and blend well with face-framing coils.
#2: Shaggy Wolf Mullet
Live on the edge with the trendy shaggy wolf mullet. If you want to rock a wolf mullet, you’ll need short lengths around the face. I suggest a light disconnection between the short sides and the longer back. That will give you a stronger shape. Remember, you’ll need lots of layering throughout a curly wolfcut, so it will not be the easiest style to grow out of. However, the shape is cool, and hair grows, so go for it.
