The shaggy style may look like a mullet at first glance, but the wolf cut is its own beast.&nbsp;

Born in Korea and popularized on social media, the wolf cut is the newest hair trend. This post-quarantine hairstyle took over <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/princess-diana-haircut-hairstyle-tiktok-tutorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok</a> due to the level of ease of the DIY cut, but now celebrities like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/billie-eilish-blonde-hair-shag-haircut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billie Eilish</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/jenna-ortega-facts-wednesday-addams-actress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenna Ortega</a> have joined the pack. This hairstyle is a modernized version of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrity-mullet-haircut-miley-cyrus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mullet</a>, but with a ton of volume at the top and fringe layers towards the bottom, making it a prime option for cutting off some length for your summer 'do. There&rsquo;s a lot of freedom with styling this cut, whether you want a softer wolf cut or lots of layers.
With the resurgence of hair trends from the &lsquo;70s and &lsquo;80s, it&rsquo;s no wonder this shag haircut is gaining popularity. Made famous by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/david-bowie-style-2021-fashion-makeup-trends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Davis Bowie</a> and his alter ego Ziggy Stardust and re-established by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/stevie-nicks-edge-of-seventeen-miley-cyrus-new-song" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miley Cyrus</a> in 2020, the non-binary cut celebrates androgyny and gives an edgier look to anyone who dares to try it. Take a look at the various takes on the wolf cut here.&nbsp;
