What Would You Call This Haircut?

1. The Modern Shag
This haircut shares the shag’s defining traits:

Lots of layers

Natural volume

A slightly undone look

But unlike the 1970s shag, this version is cleaner, softer, and more adaptable for everyday wear.

2. The Wolf Cut
One of the most popular names online, especially on social media. The wolf cut combines:

Shaggy layers on top

Length and weight toward the back

A wild, free-flowing silhouette

It’s dramatic, expressive, and intentionally imperfect.

3. The Soft Mullet (Yes, Really)
Before you panic—this is not the mullet you’re imagining.
The modern mullet:

Keeps length in the back

Softens the contrast

Blends everything seamlessly

It’s bold without being extreme.
