2. The Modern “Butterfly” Cut
The butterfly cut has taken the beauty world by storm, and for good reason. It features very short, wispy layers around the crown and longer layers throughout the length. This creates the illusion of a shorter cut at the top (giving you incredible volume and bounce) while maintaining long, flowing length at the bottom. It is the ultimate style for anyone with fine hair who struggles with flatness, as it gives you a dramatic, high-fashion silhouette without sacrificing your overall length.
How to Make
Ask your stylist to create “over-directed” layers, which result in shorter pieces at the top that can be styled away from the face. The key here is the technique: the top section should be cut to look almost like a shaggy bob when styled independently. When blow-drying, use a large round brush to lift the roots and flip the ends of these top layers away from your face to achieve that signature “winged” butterfly effect. Use a light-hold volumizing spray at the roots for extra lift.
