What Is The Butterfly Haircut?

A comfortable fusion between an 80’s blowout and the 90’s ‘The Rachel’, the style has become something of a TikTok phenomenon as of late. Characterized by contrasting layers of face-framing (almost curtain) bangs with longer locks beneath, the style allows for maximum volume and perfectly toes the line between edgy and classic. The distinction between the butterfly and other layered cuts is that the butterfly cut has two obvious sections: long layers that fall below the shoulders to give the illusion of length, and short layers that hit two to three inches below the chin to frame the face and add volume.

Who Can Rock A Butterfly Haircut?

The beauty of the butterfly haircut lies in its versatility. The sweeping bangs can be altered ever-so-slightly to best suit and sculpt an array of face shapes and bone structures. And thin-haired folk rejoice for the shaggy cut can be adapted to work across all hair types — although if you don’t quite have the initial volume, you may require the helping hand of some styling tools to achieve the desired effect.

How To Style A Butterfly Haircut?

Once you’ve taken the plunge, the next step is learning how to style your glorious new TikTok-approved trim. The best way to maximize that desired volume is to begin with a standard blowout which can be achieved by using rollers, styling wands, or the social media cult favorite, the Dyson. Be sure to curl the face-framing layers away from your face so that they blend with your hair and don’t separate and fall forward. Be sure to secure with a spritz of hairspray and you’re good to go!
