How to do a wolf cut

1. Analyze the cut

Before you go ahead and do the wolf cut, just have a quick look at the style. It is trimmed all the way down the side, and then it drops at the bottom.

Also, for me, I like that my hair alongside my face stops at my jawline - it's very flattering.

2. Do the wolf cut

Start by combing your hair all the way forward, as shown. 

Putting hair into a unicorn ponytail

Then tie your hair right on the front of your head. This is called a unicorn ponytail. 

Pulling hair forward

Pull your hair forward and snip off your desired length.

If there’s hair around the front that’s falling - that’s ok! First, snip the longer bits and then the shorter ones. 

Snipping hair

Now, go right in there and snip it off. Because I cut my hair recently, I’m just getting rid of the dead ends. 

Point cutting

Now, turn your hand horizontally, and point-cut your hair.

Undo your elastic and let your hair down. Can you see my bottom layer is freshly cut? 

Parting hair

Part your hair, start right above your ear, and go all the way around. 

Tying hair in a high ponytail

Now, tie your top section, as shown. 

Trimming dead ends

Here you can see that I have around an inch of dead ends to trim.

3. Cut your bangs

Pull a side piece from your bangs straight forward, and cut your desired length. Remember to cut up the side and then point-cut it. Repeat this on the other side and all around the frame of your face. 

Razor cutting the sides of hair

4. Razor the sides (optional)

I don’t like a heavy bulk on the sides, and if that’s the case with you, then go ahead and razor down the parts that create that bulkiness. For this, open your scissors, and slide it down the length of your hair, as shown. Don’t snip; just slide it down.
