If a bixie is indie rock, then a curly wolf cut is ’80s glam rock—bigger, louder, and unapologetically rough around the edges. “Lately, people really want a look,” Pecis says. “People want to have fun with their hair, and showcase and celebrate their natural texture.” The curly wolf cut does just that.
“It’s all about heavy layering and more length toward the back,” says Pecis (it juuust borders on mullet, but the allover layers ensure it stays firmly grounded in “glam”). “Remember that the end shape is big, bouncy, and round. Don’t fight it. Embrace it,” he says.

Whoever said you can’t have it all didn’t simply have the right haircut. We are firm believers in not choosing if we don’t have to. A collarbone lob is the embodiment of that—not a bob, not a long, flowy cut, but something that hovers between the two. As luck would have it, that noncommittal length is also very chic and grown-up.
Though the cut looks great on everyone, Boston-based hairstylist Christine Bellemare especially likes it for fine to medium hair “because it creates the illusion of volume and fullness without needing a dramatic chop.” Ask for a collarbone-length cut with soft, airy layers and a diffused finish at the ends for softness, she says.
