Long wolf cut with curtain bangs and feathered ends
Short, separated crown layers sit above a long, feathered back. Curtain bangs open around the face, making the change in length visible from the front as well as the side.
Your salon brief
Show the photo.
Then talk it through.
I want to keep my long back while making the shorter crown layers visible. Please show me where the shortest layer and curtain bangs would land, and explain how the shape might sit without a blowout.
- How much density would remain at my longest ends?
- Which front pieces would escape when I tie my hair back?
- Can we compare the crown from the front, side, and back?

What defines it
The shape
Follow the outline from the crown to the back: the upper pieces are distinctly shorter, while the lower lengths remain long. The generated reference illustrates that contrast; it does not show how your own hair would dry.
The curtain fringe connects the face framing to the layered sides. Compared with the butterfly cut, this design puts more emphasis on the cropped upper shape and a less continuous lower edge.
Your hair, your routine
Before you book
- Crown and density
- Discuss how much hair can go into the shorter tiers before the bottom looks too sparse for your preference.
- Curtain opening
- Choose the fringe's shortest point with your usual part in place. Explain whether you often tuck the sides behind your ears.
- Length transition
- Decide whether you would keep reshaping the crown or eventually let it catch up with the back.
- Morning routine
- Ask to see a finger-styled version as well as a more deliberately separated finish before choosing your routine.
Day to day
Styling and products
Optional. The haircut itself is a salon service.
Wear your usual part first and arrange the curtain pieces away from your face with your fingers. Let the back settle before deciding how much separation you want through the upper layers.
If you choose a texture styling putty, follow its directions for application and compare the finish with your stylist. It is an optional finishing step for the existing layers; the salon cut establishes the crown-to-back contrast.

TIGI Bed Head Manipulator texturizing putty, 2.01 oz
What to check
Optional firm-hold texturizing putty for short-to-medium layers. Natural finish, rather than the excluded matte wax. The generic jar is not TIGI packaging. Apply according to the actual product directions; this cannot create the haircut.

VERB Hydrate Styling Cream
What to check
Optional light-hold cream for a smoother layered finish, used on dry or damp hair per the product directions. The illustrated tube is not VERB packaging. Compare the formula with your hair needs.
Keep comparing

Questions
Can I keep my length with a long wolf cut?
You can ask to retain the longest back sections while changing the crown and sides. Agree on how much lower fullness you want before the shorter layers are cut.
Does a long wolf cut need daily heat styling?
The reference cannot establish that routine for your hair. Ask how your texture and growth pattern would look when air-dried, especially around the curtain bangs.
