How to use this section
The useful difference is not the trend name alone. Compare the shortest face-framing point, crown layering, end density, and how strongly the layers separate when styled.
Airy and separated
Shags and wolf cuts show more visible texture through the crown and ends.
Keep more length
Start with long butterfly cuts, layered hair, and shaggy lobs.
