    A butterfly haircut is a trendy and voluminous style that incorporates layers,

    often with face-framing pieces, to create a light, airy, and playful look. The
    haircut gets its name because the layers resemble butterfly wings due to the way
    the hair flows out from the face.

    Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve the butterfly haircut:

    Butterfly Haircut Step-by-Step Guide


    1. Consultation & Preparation

    Discuss Your Desired Look: Before starting, talk to your stylist to make sure the
    butterfly haircut will suit your face shape and hair texture.
    Gather Tools: If you’re doing this at home, you’ll need:
    Scissors
    Hair clips
    Comb
    Hairbrush
    Blow dryer and round brush (optional, for styling)
    Texturizing or sea salt spray for volume (optional)
    2. Wash & Dry Hair

    Start with clean, damp hair. If you prefer, apply a lightweight mousse or
    volumizing product to give your hair some extra texture and volume.
    3. Sectioning the Hair

    Divide the hair into sections for easier handling:


    Top Section: The top of the hair, from the crown to just above the ears.
    Bottom Section: The hair from the ears down.
    Use clips to hold the top section in place while you work on the bottom section
    first.
    4. Cutting the Bottom Layers

    Layering the Bottom: Begin cutting the bottom section of the hair in long layers.
    For a butterfly cut, these layers should be blended and soft to create a natural
    flow.
    Angle the Cut: Start with a longer length at the back and progressively cut the
    hair shorter as you approach the front. This creates that "winged" effect as the
    layers start to frame the face.
    Point Cutting: Use point cutting (cutting vertically into the ends of the hair) to
    add texture and softness to the layers.
    5. Cutting the Top Layers

    Lift and Cut the Top: Now, work on the top section. You will cut the top layers to
    be shorter than the bottom layers, adding volume and creating that "butterfly"
    effect.
    Face-Framing Layers: Focus on the face-framing pieces. These should be cut so they
    fall naturally around the face, usually around the jawline or slightly shorter. You
    can add some dramatic, longer layers to blend the hair from the crown down.
    Blending: Use your comb and scissors to blend the top layers into the bottom
    section. You want the transition between layers to look seamless.
    6. Check the Symmetry

    Stand back and check that the layers are even on both sides. Make sure the face-
    framing pieces fall symmetrically on both sides of your face, creating that
    butterfly-like shape.
    7. Texturize & Style

    Texturizing: If your hair feels too heavy or thick, use texturizing scissors to
    thin out the ends or add more layers. This will help the hair move more freely and
    enhance the airy, feathered look of the butterfly cut.
    Style: Blow-dry your hair using a round brush to add volume, especially at the
    crown. You can also curl or wave the ends for more movement and texture, making the
    layers stand out.
    8. Final Adjustments

    After drying and styling, check for any unevenness and trim if necessary. You can
    adjust the length and shape until you achieve the desired butterfly effect.
    Finish with a Light Hair Spray: For added texture and hold, apply a light mist of
    hair spray to keep your layers in place while maintaining the natural, airy look.
    Tips for a Butterfly Haircut:
    Face Shape: The butterfly haircut works well with most face shapes but looks
    especially good on round or square faces due to the way it softens the angles.
    Hair Type: It works best on medium to thick hair. If you have fine hair, you might
    want to add some texturizing spray or a volumizing product to help the layers hold.
    Maintenance: Regular trims are necessary to keep the layers looking fresh and
    voluminous.
