意味

Wolf cut; a layered, shaggy hairstyle with short top layers and longer bottom layers.

ウルフカット is a hairstyle characterised by heavy layering — short, voluminous layers on top with longer, wispy layers at the bottom, creating a 'wolf mane' effect. Originally popular in the 1970s-80s rock scene, it experienced a massive revival in the 2020s, driven by Korean and Japanese social media trends. The modern version is softer and more versatile than the retro original, and it works on various face shapes and hair textures. It became one of the most searched hairstyles on Japanese beauty platforms.
