Anne has gone long, short, and everything in between. One day, Rapunzel incarnate, Louise Brooks the next. But just hours ago, she went rogue with a new look: a wolf cut. It’s no soft romance this time, but still Anne. Or perhaps her rebellious twin—if she ever had one. It’s raw, jagged, and brimming with attitude. Here’s why we love it, and how to get the look.

She dropped the news on Instagram with a salon clip, scissors snapping and strands falling. This “very kickass project” with Erik Matti, her BuyBust director from 2018, probably needed a look that’s anything but tame.
The wolf cut is a wild love child. It’s what happens when a shag’s messy layers meets the edge of a mullet, all stacked on top with a ragged, face-framing finish. It’s chaotic, but somehow feels controlled. And on Anne, with her sharp jawline and fearless style, it lands just right.
Should You Try It?
The golden question. Technically, the wolf cut feeds off texture, so wavy, thick, or layered hair is its playground. Those with fine or pin-straight strands might struggle to hold the choppy layers without heat styling tools or divine intervention.
Face shape matters, too. The cut flatters square faces like Anne’s, oval, and heart shapes, since the jagged layers are able to frame the cheekbones and jawlines like a dream. But if you’re all round edges and baby cheeks, proceed with caution—or a really good stylist.
What To Tell Your Stylist
At the salon, don’t just say “wolf cut” and pray for the best. Bring receipts, be it in the form of screenshots, angles, or the photos herein. You’ll want to ask for shaggy, blended layers with volume up top and length that tapers down, especially around the face.
Be specific. Tell them you prefer movement, not mess. Airy, not choppy. The face-framing layers should soften your features while adding structure, especially if your jawline is strong and cheekbones are high.
Talk styling, too. Since the cut thrives on shape and texture, you’ll likely need tips on blow-drying techniques and what texturizing spray you need to purchase, especially if you lack volume.
