Wolf Cut Filter

The wolf cut mixes the volume of a 70s shag with the shape of a mullet: lots of short, choppy layers around the crown, a curtain-style fringe and longer, wispy ends at the back. It looks effortless on camera, but it is a big change from one-length hair — and layers that short take a long time to grow out. A wolf cut filter shows you the result before your stylist starts layering.

Upload a portrait, choose a wolf cut or describe the version you want, and Swap Hairstyle edits your actual photo in about a minute. Your face, skin tone and background stay as they are, so you can judge the cut honestly.

Long or short

A long wolf cut keeps length past the shoulders with layers starting at the cheekbones; a short wolf cut sits closer to a shag mullet. Try both on the same photo.

With curtain bangs

Most wolf cuts include a curtain fringe. If you are unsure about the fringe, compare with and without, or start with the curtain bangs filter.

On wavy and curly hair

Wolf cuts love texture. Ask the AI to keep your natural wave or curl pattern for the most realistic preview.

• Thick, wavy or curly hair shows off the layers best and needs the least styling.
• Fine, straight hair can work, but the layers may look thin; a softer, longer wolf cut is safer.
• Round faces benefit from height at the crown and longer face-framing pieces.
• Daily styling: expect a little texture spray or diffusing to keep the shape.
• Color: wolf cuts show off lighter ends and face-framing highlights well — after your preview, ask the AI for a shade change on the same photo.
• Grow-out: the shortest crown layers take the longest to blend back in — another reason to preview first.

Wolf cuts vary a lot from salon to salon, so a picture helps. Show your stylist the preview from the wolf cut filter alongside your original photo, then explain three things: how much length you want to keep at the back, where the shortest crown layers should start, and what kind of fringe you want — curtain, choppy or none. If your hair is fine, ask for fewer, longer layers so the ends do not look thin. If it is thick, ask them to remove bulk inside the layers. Expect the first cut to take a little longer than a normal trim; a good wolf cut is cut dry or partly dry so the stylist can see how each layer falls.
