Is the bob out? No—the hairstyle is a classic for a reason—but this summer, the girls are onto something new: the “kitty cut,” which creates lots of volume in fine hair.
When it comes to hairstyle trends lately, there’s no getting around layers. It’s why haircuts like the “butterfly cut,” “butterfly bob,” and “wolf cut” are so popular right now.

The kitty cut is a layered cut that falls somewhere between a heavy shag, like the wolf cut, and more subtle styles.
The kitty cut uses face-framing layers in the front section and lengths to flatter the face and collarbone and create additional volume. The result is a “feline” look thanks to integrated long curtain bangs. In contrast to the wolf cut, however, the kitty cut look much tidier and more sophisticated.

If you’re interested in switching to a shaggier cut but not totally confident about the change, the kitty cut is a good place to start.
