About this deal
It’s a modern take on the classic shag haircut from the ’70s, featuring layers and feathered ends that create a soft and flowy look. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styling products to enhance your layered locks and make them stand out. In this blog post, we will discuss what the butterfly haircut is, how to style it, and some of the benefits of choosing this trend.
To make your brunette mane catchier, consider the money piece technique can be a great addition to the butterfly haircut, as it can add a pop of color and dimension to the front section of your hair.Another benefit to the butterfly cut is its versatility, adds Serina Battaglini, hairstylist and owner of Serina Styles Studio and Salon at Sola Salons. In fact, she and Spino both note that this cut is an especially fun way to experiment with shorter lengths, as the layers allow one to “fake” short hair without sacrificing any of their actual length. Wispy bangs can add softness and create a more delicate, feminine look; at the same time, they make your face appear thinner. This look features short hair on the sides and long hair in the middle, which is styled into a “butterfly” shape. The haircut combines shorter layers with longer layers to create a textured look that adds depth and volume without any real styling effort required.
