We’ve seen the wolf cut, the mullet cut and even the butterfly cut – but now it’s time for its latest iteration – the ‘silent cut’.
According to British vogue, it should “dominate” this fall; the softer iteration of the ’70s theatrical style layers the stars sported was a huge hit in South Korea and has now made its way to other shores.
The style hashtag has been viewed 64.8 million times on TikTok, and many on social media are raving about its practicality. It has also been praised for its flattering appearance as it continues to grow.
Renowned stylist Marcus Francis says its popularity can be linked to its ease of maintenance.
“A lot of the weight is removed during layering,” he said. Hustle. “So that makes it easier.”
Hoyeon Jung (pictured in April) of Squid Game fame was recently photographed sporting the style’s signature wispy curtain bangs.
K-dramas fans might be familiar with the chic face-framing bangs and the silhouetted look that the muted cut brings.

Lalisa Manobal, a member of hit girl group Blackpink, also traded in her signature choppy bangs for this style this summer.
Kim Se-jeong, known for playing the romantic lead in Business Proposal, also showed her silence on social media.
The West has leaned into this look too, as celebrities seem to have been asking their stylists for watered down versions of mullet cuts and choppier, more punky wolf cuts.
The trend can be seen as early as 2019 and 2020, with Miley Cyrus adopting a delicately styled faded blonde mullet cut in what has become a signature look for the singer.
The following year, Billie Eilish followed suit with a platinum face that later graced the cover of her album, Happier Than Ever.
In 2022, Molly Mae Hague took to Instagram to share a snap sporting a glamorous take on the cut and channeling a Y2K vibe with her voluminous look. More recently, other Love Island stars have also embraced this trend.

Last year’s winner, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, this summer wore the quiet cut with her longer, highlighted hair to achieve an effortless look.
And this spring, Indiyah Polack – who came third with partner Dami Hope – stunned her Instagram followers when she showed off a curly mullet-inspired look on a trip to Japan.
