CUB CUT is the new WOLF CUT haircut trend for 2023 

So I followed your tutorial and my hair looks so god-damned amazing, I did better following your techniques than any hairdresser has ever done. It's been 3 days and I am still looking at it in the mirror every 10 minutes. I cannot believe I did that! Thank you!

LADIES WITH FINE THIN HAIR OF A CERTAIN AGE- THIS CUT ROCKS!!! I spent hours reading comments trying to find info how this turns out, so wanted to add my bit. Me: middle aged, post menopausal who’s been growing out her grey and really not enjoying it. While I love my pepper and white streaks, what I’ve loathed is what my hair does without colour to rough it up: silky smooth droop that looks like a shower cap. Holds no curl, does nothing but sits flat. I also have bad eyesight so I spent a LOT of time taking photos in the mirror to make sure I had the lines straight. When I put the front ponytail in it was a hilariously thin little wisp. The back was even worse- easily only HALF the size of the mannequin’s. I almost bailed but so glad I didn’t. For reference- the elastic I used, when squeezed into a line is 2 1/2” wide (those thin elastics) and I wrapped it 4x round. This was loose, but couldn’t quite get 5. Trying to give an idea of my hair and how thin it is for those of you who are worried. This is probably one of the best cuts I’ve ever had. It seems no matter which salon I try, every hairdresser gives me something “mature” with blended layers where my hair looks lovely and like I’m the 50 year old I’m supposed to be acting like. This… this is chunky, fun, with amazing height on the crown and absolutely gorgeous bangs and face framing wispy bits. The beautiful white streaks I’ve got going on underneath the rest are now finally visible thru the layering, and I’m left with only an inch or 2 of the brassy blonde I’ve been growing out. My hair looks fantastic even though it’s got no product in. I don’t have curls but I have a few kinks, so my hair isn’t absolutely straight. That back ponytail leaves the first layer lying right at the occipital bone and it’s a perfect length for volume at the top - that thing I’ve been seeking with every cut my entire life. Go for it. Go slow. Stop the video a lot and pay attention to angles- like the finger angle at the front ponytail where it’s 45° and raised at the back, pointing down towards what will be the fringe. I had to watch several times as the important info is at the beginning and it’s not clear when he makes his cut. I don’t normally leave comments, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for this incredible video. I hope this helps some people decide whether to give this a go. My ponies were so little I was pretty sure this would be a disaster, but im so glad I took the risk

I am a retired Employment Specialist. As I watch you in action, and listen to your explanation of elevation, I can't help but wish I had this video to give an example to my high-school students why basic math and geometry are important in this job!

Had this haircut in 1979. Amazing how things come back around!

In the 70s it was called a SHAG.

Somebody, give this man a Hairbel Peace prize for succinctly showing us how to easily cut our own hair into a wonderfully floaty style!!! I love it! My hair to start was a bit shorter than the mannequin's, but I still followed his instructions and the cub cut came out exactly as I wanted... a simple shag, gave nice volume, and it's great for my thin hair. I even used fabric scissors, which was weird for point cutting, but still love how it came out!!

Just tried this. I needed to trim my hair so I decided on the cub cut. It turned out perfect. Your instructions are so simple to follow. I just love it

Awesome! I’m going to try this on my hair soon. I’ve had much success with two of your other tutorials! ❤

Omg. So I took a leap of faith and followed the steps. 5 inches off the back & 2 off the top and my god, I look refreshed. It's taken that dull heavy look off my shoulders. Thank you so so much.

I watch all your videos and mix to get the result I want. I start with the woulfcut with 2 ponytails and will be trying this one for bangs this summer. Thank you!

This is giving me 80s into 90s vibes, I’ve been going back-and-forth between a bob and a long barely layered look for a few years now and I think I might attempt this on myself, I used to be a professional stylist for many years but no longer work in the salon do to disability. Thank you this looks pretty easy to do! Just gotta let my bangs grow out :-)

I have very thin and flat hair. I just gave myself a haircut following this tutorial and the result is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Thank you so so much!!❤

Top! Top! Top! I have a short bob without layers and did the cub cut myself like you said and it turned into a very sofisticated hair cut, gorgeous. I love it!!! Thank you!

Omgosh! I’m a hairdresser of 18 years and I just tried this and wow! Looks amazing 😍 Thank you for posting this excellent tutorial

I had my hair cut by a hairdresser that didn't get what I was after despite me showing pictures and so on. I was so disappointed, I cried for days about it. This video not only helped me to fix my own hair, but is also the style I was looking for! So happy!! Thank you Paul, amazing instruction. I was so scared to cut away as much as I did, but now I have volume and gorgeous shaggy layers. Yay!

I’ve watched a ton of ponytail haircut videos and I feel like a lot of people completely skip over the position of the cut itself. This is very helpful!

You are simply the best teacher for home made cutting hair, for the ordonary people.

I cannot believe how GOOD this looks!!!! WOW! Thank you Paul!

This video is just what I've been looking for. I'm growing out my hair and it's currently just below my shoulders but I have thick hair and feel it needs some serious layering. Can wait to try this out 😊

Thank you for this! I actually accidentally did a bad wolf cut on myself and have been trying to slowly slye it out and this has now helped me sort the cut out by taking it that bit shorter and looks amazing 😍

this will be awesome on ppl with a natural wave to their hair!

I love your ponytail videos! They're so helpful. My husband does mine now, using the sexy textured bob video!

I had this exact hair my entire late teenage years, so im not coming back to it lol but it's so beautiful and your tutorial is amazing! Thank you for this 🙏

I am one of your follower from the day you opened your channel. I am so happy you are growing each day ❤. Obsessed with all the hairstyles you showed in your videos. Going to try this for sure .

Been cutting hair a while now and this, by far is the easiest way to give soft layers that frame the face. I did this cut on myself this morning and it looks amazing 😻!! I was a little extra generous when I cut the front pony and it lays like a cut that has settled for a few days. I also point cut the pony and softened it. I wish I could show you how good it turned out. Wanted to take time to comment and thank you for your time and content. I always enjoy your videos and learning but mostly super appreciate that you’re sharing them. 🙏

Finally, when unable to go to the salon I can cut my own hair. Your hidden ponytail Wolf Cut has been my go to cut for my wavy-loose curl hair. I want to try the cub cut but not sure how to adjust the length for my curl?? Can you do a video of the Cub Cut for curly hair??? Your designs & videos are absolutely smashing! I recommend your videos to everyone!!

~I've been perusing DIY haircuts for some time and kept coming back to this one. I was in a quandary as to what to do with my hair as I'd let it go for soooo very long. My mane was my pride and joy for many a year and my trademark... Well things happen, we change... So there it was, just sitting there, longer than it had ever been and I kept it in a braid or ponytail. I was sooo tired of it... 😟 ~~Did this cut today, went a tad shorter than what he did here but! followed the exact technique and instructions. And once again, I LOVE my mane! Doing it yourself, with expert instruction FEELS FANTASTIC!!! Not to mention = doing it in the comfort of your own home, and FOR FREE! Wow, I'm thrilled! 😍 ~~~TYSVM and Bravo Paul Watts!!! VERY kind of you to make all these videos for all of us! YOU ROCK!! 🥰👍

This is one of the best haircuts I've ever gotten in 46 years, and you helped me to do it myself! :) I have thick, wavy, course hair with multiple textures. I cut it wet and didn't have any fancy texturizing sheers so (after blunt cutting like in the video) I parted each ponytail in half to make vertical sections and then notched out the ends by point cutting with regular sheers from the beauty supply. I just put in leave-in and gel and let air dry, kind of twisting some pieces around my face and on the sides. I just cut it yesterday and have already gotten compliments. Thanks so much for this tutorial, Paul. I have it saved and will be cutting my hair like this for the foreseeable future.

Love it. I just did my first Wolf Cut two days ago. I'm not that brave to go this short but perhaps in the future. However, hard to even see what you're doing in the back if you're doing it by yourself.

Just did a quick late night shower and cut. Explanation was super simple, made it go fast. Turned out qqquuuute, I think I’ll still enjoy it tmr morning 🙏🏼🤩

Thank you! Your detailed illustration before the the first cut was a good confidence boost! My hair looks great!!!!

Another amazing haircut, Paul! 💇🏻‍♀️👍🏻 Thanks dear! 🌷🤗🙋🏻‍♀️

Thanks for putting this up Paul 👍 iv been cutting my hair since lockdown learning from different RU-vid videos, but this way is 100 times easier & quicker than doin it without the pony tails 😊 mines shorter than the dolls head so i just took less off , Cheers!

I cut my hair a few times following your tutorials and it turned out great. at work they asked me where I got my hair cut, I replied to Paul Watts)))))) Thank you

I just did this and i love it ! Thank you so much for your step by step instructions ❤

I followed this having shorter hair to start (grazes top of shoulder) and it turned out amazing. Exactly what I wanted. I’m in between hairdressers right now and trying to grow my thick wavy hair out. This lays perfectly air dried and I am impressed. I just wanted some nice layering without losing length.

Absolutely brilliant . So well explained and shown in a simple fashion. Beautiful method and Beautiful cut x

You're ardently awesome!! You make this cut look so stinkin' easy!! I'm going for it! Right now, on myself!!

I love my new cub cut hair!!! Thank you for this tutorial ❤

Trying this tonight, will update once cut, so excited, can only be better than what's going on currently I pray.

Thank you for the hook up. I been disgusted with my hair, watched your video, looked like new in 15 minutes. Dang. You are extremely talented. Thank you so much.

Your videos are so well explained. After watching 4 of them so far, I feel like I can give my little girl whom is medically fragile, a beautiful haircut. You are a God send. To be able to give her a beautiful haircut using your well explained ponytail sections makes our life even more beautiful, as every second counts working with her, I can watch a few more times and do this!! Thanks so much from Fayetteville, NC !

Omg thank you so much for the video. I have tried cutting it as you instructed and it turned out so well!!!😍😍😍 infinite appreciation for saving money on my hair for next few yearsssss💪🔥

All your videos are amazing- you are a genius when it comes to hair cutting.

That's my latest cut, only with short bangs! I was worried I went too extreme, but if you'te telling me this is the newest trend, I'm beyond happy 🤗✨

I just gave myself this haircut about an hour ago. I absolutely LOVE IT. (I put my back ponytail a little bit lower, to get longer layers.) I have fine, fluffy/wavy hair and it's blonde, so I totally look like Peter Frampton. Super easy to do, came out surprisingly even, and I just did a few snips in the front to soften it up even more. Thank you for the tutorial! Edited to add that I put the front ponytail in line with my nose, and this cut works great even though I part my hair about an inch to one side of center. I think it must be the 45 degree angle cut that's the real magic here!

Hey Angel, hi everyone out of all the tutorials that I’ve watched yours is the one that I stopped to and if I had a way to post my photo in the comments, I would extremely happy you are a superb teacher. Thank you thank you!

You are an amazing teacher. You make the whole process so understandable. Thank you for sharing your expertise. 😊

This is a beautiful silhouette, & I even liked the raw look of it before you refined the ends ~

I just did this and cut off many inches of hair. Almost had a panic attack but somehow it came out even and looks right! Super wow

I love this cut this is what I am hoping for. A lot of hair salons does not know how to do a proper Lair cut! You come out of their looking like a step ladder look, they just don’t know how to cut it. Thank You for posting this. 🥰 🐾

Amazing!! Just did this cut at home. Feel so much better. Thank you!

A while back i buzzed off the back of my head and it finally grew long enough to cover my neck, the hair on the top of my head is way longer and im so tempted to follow this tutorial 😂

Thank you very much for this amazing tutorial! My hair is wavey and quite thick. I wanted some nice and light hairstyle. I followed your instructions and it came out amazing! I was able to cut my hair on my own, although I used my husband's help for point cutting on the back. I chopped off 25 cm and this change feels amazing. I appreciate all the detailed instructions - it's great feeling to understand WHY do I do as you say and what would happen if I don't

Brilliant! Perfect for one of my old wigs. Thank you

Hi sweetie ❣️ I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate you and enjoy every single one of your videos!! You have such mad talent and you put all of the other jokers (who shall remain nameless) to shame 😀👍 Keep up the amazing work 🎖️ I think I am going to do this to my hair 😉 Wish me luck 😘

Done. Love it. Took me about 45 min. Last diy cut I did was a blunt bob and it took me two hours. 🤪 For a diamond shaped face leave the bangs longer, so that they are underneath your cheeks if you wanna slim down that area (or shorter above your cheeks if you wanna accentuate them). Looks absolutely gorgeous. I am still surprised every time that I am able to actually cut more or less of a straight line (I do have to correct it here and there but in the end it really is straight) at the back of my head in the mirror. Its a miracle every time. 😂 Thank you for this cool tutorial!!! ❤,

My curly hair is very fine, but I have lots of it. I just gave myself this Cub Cut and it looks terrrific. I would like to thank you for explaining this cut in a language that I can understand and follow. My hair looks great, feminine and a bit boho...I LOVE it.

I have thick multi-textured curly hair and I managed to do this cut. I love it so far. I cut it wet then blew dried it and straightened it to check for wonkiness. To my surprise, there were only a few touch-ups that I had to do. I cut at least 4-5 inches and the back falls right below my shoulders which is exactly where I wanted it. The layering took off so much weight and even though the layers are a bit more choppy than I was going for, it blends well and I have movement. I have not tried it curly yet. I hope I love it curly just the same.

Thank you! This is the 2nd haircut Ive done from your videos, and they just rock! ❤

Thank you so kindly! You gave me a Cute Cub & the Easiest Cut I did myself just now Watching You! 🎉🎉

This kinda reminds me of the "shag" hairstyle we wore in 🇨🇦 in the 70s😊 Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, my friend😊

I did it and I am happy with the result. My hair is thin , this cut gave me volume. Thank you

Diff going to try this..❤.thank you so much.always detailed info. esp for a person like me doing diy haircut always.

This is the best tutorial ive watched , it works im so pleased with result 😊

I love this cut! Great video! 😊

You are simply simply amazing, better than hairstylist I’ve ever been 😊

Love this cut! I wish my hair was that thick!

I did butterfly cut on myself last year but needed some short around face and thru bangs so i did the front pony as u said and its amazing

Thank You so much for your knowledge and videos! I learn so much from you!

Thank you very much for showing wolf cut.Awesome 😍

❤❤❤❤ I just did my second easy butterfly cut! Just love it… my hairs never looked better 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

You're so talented and innovative.

I absolutely love it! Going to try this tonight. 😍

This is the first time I have EVER embraced my curly/wavy hair. She had always wanted to curl but would always flop.... added texture and volume. I have diamond face shape & it compliments my features a lot.

Love how simple you make it! Do you have a video on how to create more height on top?

Great style Paul!💯

Best tutorial I have ever seen,think best hairdresser too! 🎉

Thank you, Paul. You look real profesional. it's a beautiful cut. I Spent time las night trying to get, I finally dared to do it. It's not yet perfect, but i loved how it looks now. Thans again !

You are an amazing teacher! I learned so much from this video! Thank you!

Perfect done! Want try it! Subscribed

Great haircut and great tutorial!! Thank you!🤗

Done and done. I left it about an inch longer on both, I didnt want the bangs and I side part. But i followed his technique. Not mad at it.

I Really Like This! It reminds me of the 70's Shags that we had when I was a kid! I have long, thick curly hair. Can this cut be done for me? Thanks So Much for Your Channel! I'm not a hairdresser, but I Love watching You! My son and I have the same hair, and we've yet to find good stylists, so have been trimming our own hair. Now we have something to show potential Stylists!

I impulsively decided to cut my own hair. I watched maybe 5 of your videos. This one was super easy to follow. I took me awhile to decide which would work best because I have a buzzed undercut making some of the longest layer cuts up higher for me. It was weird, one side did not have the textured look, one side did so I had to section it again to clean it up. Over all love the look

U don’t really have to chip/point the stubbed hair area because it falls away from each other anyway. It really doesn’t need softening. U can soften areas once it’s all down tho.

Had this cut in 2002. It's great. Especially if you have wavy hair. Wash and go.

I love this haircut!

Wow so simple thank you so much!

I really loved watching this cut used to go to beauty college my sis is going on a cruise to England Scotland and a couple other places I’d love to give her a cub cut she’s totally grey usually blonde but I want to give her a blonde, red and dark tones I think that would rock thank you I’m not going to be nervous cutting her hair because you just gave me confidence with such a bangin hair cut thank you

¡Me encanto!!¡Excelente, Felicitaciones!! ¡Un abrazo desde Uruguay, desde el Cono Sur!!

I needed this when I cut my hair last week 💔

Wow, I love this cut, amazing

Hi this is such an amazing, thorough, clear tutorial I'm planning to cut my hair shorter, so I've saved 4 of your videos with similar haircuts (haven't decided what kind of haircut I want yet lol), but I've got an issue I never really understand how to actually blow out such haircut to get that volume & texture like on the pic you showed, I think it was Jenna Ortega's hairstyle, if it was possible maybe you could also incorporate how to do a blow out too? No one really shows how to do it. Thank you so much for this video.♥

Watched twice, cut once and it was a great cut. Thanks for this and saving me $80+ that I don’t have for the salon rn

Im getting a 70s vibe off it, as a 90 s would love to rock this look

i followed your tutorial and ask my sister to cut it for me, it turns out as i expected, thank you so much

Wow! This was so simple. I left it fairly long, with front long enough to tuck behind my ears, and back long enough to touch my bra. This looks and feels so wonderful! Took 5 minutes. I have a long wave in my hair, with curlier and straighter sections. It all blends. Lighter and looser than my old heavy long layers. This will be easier to handle during swim season with less maintenance.

Paul, I would LOVE this cut but am terrified to cut my own hair. This video has given me the will to do it! I'm just worried about being able to clean up the back on my own.

Very beautiful, thanks!!! 🙂
