With Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck Of Salon 901
You’re going to howl with delight when you see just how easy it is to recreate the new longer version of the Wolf Cut – thanks to a brilliant step-by-step from Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck, of Salon Nine Zero One. With its face-framing layers, rugged personality, and swept-back bangs, this playful, shag-meets-mullet look is just the right amount of wild. “The cut has been trending for quite some time; but it can be hard to know when, and on whom, to try it,” explains Jill, who created a longer option for clients who might not be ready to go as “super short or drastic” as the original iteration. “Make sure the client is ready for a look like this…it’s edgy, it’s cool, and it’s modern!”
Pro tricks and tips…
Blending is a no-no here:
“The cut is disconnected! Don’t try to blend the front and back sections or you will lose the cool shape,” cautions Jill.
It’s all in the tool:
“Cutting with a razor helps to keep this from looking too harsh.”
Any texture works:
It may sound surprising, but Jill really loves this look on curly hair.
Wet is what you want:
“Make sure you only cut on wet hair,” she says. “Cutting with a razor on dry hair can cause split ends and frizz.”
