While the two are quite similar, the biggest difference is that the wolf cut has more all-over volume while the octopus haircut's volume is focused at the crown of your head. The octopus haircut also has a distinct disconnect from the top section to the bottom, which is what gives it the octopus-like silhouette.
“Adding extreme layers like with the octopus cut can make fine hair look thinner, but this can be overcome by styling. It's much less textured than a shag cut, with more rounded and curved layers, so generally requires more maintenance and styling.”
“If you do not want the disconnection and you want your layers to somewhat blend, ask for round concave layers pivoting from your crown,” he says. The octopus is also ideal for medium to thick hair and wavy or curly textures, but ask your stylist what they think is possible for your particular hair type.
What to Ask For: A wavy bob works so well with frizzy hair because it takes advantage of its natural curly texture. To make sure your stylist knows that you want a tousled look, "Ask for a deconstructed bob with loose layers," Dave Stanwell says.

You might assume that giving your hair layers will make it look thinner than ever. But in reality, layers can be great for fine hair, says Adam Broderick, owner of Adam Broderick Salon & Spa. “Soft layers can remove some of the weight and let some of the hair be released and have more volume,” he explains.
Long layers are an excellent option for thin hair, says Toth, because the look "preserves most of your hair's thickness while still allowing for some movement and volume around the face."

What Kind Of Layers Are Best For Curly Hair? To reiterate, layering is key for curly hair. Many times, the weight of curly hair pulls the curls down and forces it out of shape. When layered, however, curls and coils are more liberated and appear longer and fuller.
Curly hair needs layers to move. Cutting vertical layers, and then going back in and cutting individual curls to break it up and give the hair some movement is best.
