Wolf Cut Transformation: From Long to Layered

This publication packet documents a wolf cut transformation. The client, who traveled from Leh Ladakh, requested a wolf cut. The stylist demonstrates the step-by-step process of achieving this layered haircut, focusing on creating volume and bounce.

The process begins with establishing the desired length for the back of the hair. The stylist creates a guideline at shoulder length using a zero-degree cut, forming a slight U-shape. This initial cut serves as the foundation for the subsequent layers.

Next, the stylist moves to the crown, taking vertical sections and pulling them to ninety degrees to create layers. This technique is then applied to the side sections, using the crown layers as a guide to ensure continuity and blend. The stylist emphasizes thorough combing for precise cuts.

The front section is addressed by cutting hair to nose level, creating shorter layers that frame the face. The side hair is then merged with these front layers by pulling sections upward to ninety degrees and cutting them to match the shortest front pieces. This adds volume and ensures a seamless transition between the front and back.

The final steps involve blending the front and back sections using a zigzag cutting technique at ninety degrees to add volume and merge the layers. The stylist then refines the back with a U-shape to enhance the roundness. The hair is blow-dried and styled with soft curls and a flick to showcase the completed wolf cut.
