The butterfly hairstyle is characterized by face framing layers or curtain bangs that transition into long layers throughout the length of the hair. The butterfly cut gets its name from the fringe because the bangs feather out like butterfly wings at the ends. The short layers start either above or at chin level and cascade into long wispy layers. You can use a round brush set to style it for more of a Farrah Fawcett look.

It’s a beautiful style that is quite versatile and it can be done on many hair types. It’s so versatile you could create a collection of different butterfly haircut looks that would look similar but different. Butterfly haircuts work well on straight hair, wavy hair, thick hair and medium hair. However, it doesn’t work as well on thin hair. It creates added volume, texture and movement. It compliments dark, brunette, blonde highlights or other hair colors. It also works fine with most face shapes. It can work on short hair but the hair should at minimum reach the collar bone.
