The fox cut is a hairstyle that stands out for its choppy, voluminous, and layered structure, inspired by the soft and wild lines of nature. The name comes from the shape of the cut, reminiscent of a fox’s tail. It creates volume and softness at the top of the head, tapering down into shorter lengths. This style is perfect for those with a strong and dynamic personality who still want a natural yet sophisticated look.
Features of the Classic Fox Cut
The classic fox cut is defined by layers that create movement and volume. It features uneven lengths that give a natural, windswept look—as if the breeze styled your hair for you. The top section is typically more voluminous, with tapered ends that offer a carefree yet polished vibe. It’s ideal for those who want a “messy but intentional” look.
Versatile and suitable for various lengths—from a short bob to longer hair—the only must-have is: the layers must be tousled and textured. The base is usually shorter, fading into mid to long ends. While it may seem best suited for straight hair, curly and wavy textures can also wear it beautifully—especially when you play with volume to shape the style.
How to Wear the Fox Cut This Spring: The Liquid Fox Cut
The coolest version right now is the “liquid fox cut”, which hairstylist Salvo Filetti of Compagnia della Bellezza describes as: “A reimagined fox cut that becomes liquid, naturally flowing over the shoulders. It’s a modern shag that, thanks to its controlled layers, takes on a refined and elegant tone.”
Who does this haircut flatter most? “It’s perfect for wide and angular faces—it slims and adds lightness,” Filetti adds. “For longer faces, a longer variation works best, helping to balance out the proportions.”
Why Choose the Liquid Fox Cut
This hairstyle is taking over social media and gaining popularity thanks to how practical it is. It’s low-maintenance—the volume and disheveled structure allow for an easy, natural look without complex styling. Plus, it fits perfectly with this season’s trend for fresh, airy looks that still have some edge. In short, it’s ideal for those who want to be bold without giving up the ease of a manageable cut.
How to Personalize It
You can easily personalize the fox cut, especially the liquid version through both styling and color. Let it air-dry for a more relaxed, casual finish, or use a curling iron to add definition to the ends. Prefer a more polished look? A volumizing cream will be your best friend for a more structured effect.
