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. This style, which is defined by its contrasting face-framing (almost drape) bangs and long locks below, allows for maximum volumn and toes that line perfectly between edgy yet classic. Butterfly cuts are different from other layers because they have two distinct sections. Long layers below the shoulders give an illusion of height, while short layers hit 2 to 3 inches below the chin frame and add volume.
Butterfly Haircuts are not for everyone.
Its versatility is the beauty of a butterfly cut. It is possible to alter the bangs just a little bit in order to better suit different face shapes or 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.
