What is the kitty cut, the trendy mid-length cut for spring-summer 2024?
While the wolf cut was characterized by a fairly marked gradient, the kitty cut displays a slightly softer line with a more subtle gradient. The hair is layered on the contours of the face only, or slightly on the covering strands, and the bangs are often with a slightly more rounded shape, like curtain bangs.
According to Rita Hazan: “Just like the wolf cut, the kitty cut is designed to add dimension to the hairstyle. It focuses on layering and framing the face in the front with bangs and other techniques while keeping the rest of the haircut simple and stylish”.

Why is the kitty cut made for all face shapes?
Thanks to the play on gradients and the slightly longer bangs, the kitty cut has the advantage of adapting to almost all face shapes. It can also be adapted to slightly shorter hair, as Rita Hazan explains: “I think it’s trendy because it flatters all face shapes and it’s so easy to adapt to any hair length“.
Cuts all mid-length cuts, the kitty cut also has the advantage of being very versatile because it leaves the possibility of being able to tie the hair or make half-ties. It can be worn on straight or wavy hair, or even with a styled/disheveled effect which will further highlight the layered work.
