The Shag, the Wolf Cut & Why This Iconic Haircut Is Back at Blackheath Hair & Co

If you’ve been seeing more shag haircuts, wolf cuts, and beautifully undone layers everywhere lately  you’re not imagining it. This effortlessly cool haircut has made a big comeback, and at Blackheath Hair & Co, we couldn’t be happier about it.

Known by many names  the shag, the wolf cut, the modern mullet, or even the “grown-up rocker cut” this style is all about texture, movement, and personality.

So, why is the shag haircut back in fashion?

Fashion always looks to the past for inspiration, and right now the 70s and 90s are having a serious moment. But this time around, the shag has been updated to suit modern hair types, lifestyles, and face shapes.

Here’s why clients are loving it:

• Effortless texture with minimal styling
• Soft layers that add movement and volume
• Works beautifully on straight, wavy, and curly hair
• A cut that grows out well, so it stays looking good for longer
• Can be tailored from soft and wearable to bold and edgy

It’s the perfect haircut if you want something stylish without feeling overdone  that “cool without trying too hard” look.

The wolf cut: bold, modern & totally custom

The wolf cut is essentially the shag’s more dramatic sibling. Think stronger layering, a bit more attitude, and a shape that frames the face beautifully. At Blackheath Hair & Co, we customise every version  whether you want a subtle nod to the trend or a full-on statement cut.
