Butterfly Haircut Unstyled

The butterfly haircut is a viral hairstyle coined by celebrity hairstylist Sunnie Brook. One editor tried the trend to add more volume to her fine hair. Check out photos of the haircut and tips on how to style the look.

Affected by the Rachel haircut when it first made an appearance in the late '90s. Of course, I begged my mom to bring me to the salon so I could get it cut into the iconic layered 'do. However, once I sat down in the stylist's chair, they would always tell me my hair was too fine and would fall flat.

So when the butterfly haircut — a style that consists of face-framing layers and was originally coined by celebrity hairstylist Sunnie Brook — went viral on TikTok, I thought this would be my one chance to

Get the Rachel in an elevated way tailored to my specific hair type. When I went to see Lindsay Victoria, master stylist and educational director at Spoke & Weal in Los Angeles, I asked her to both keep my length and give me as much volume as possible.

Keep reading for tips on what to expect from the cut and how to style it based on your hair texture — plus photos of my own butterfly haircut.

A heavily layered '90s-inspired haircut, the butterfly cut consists of a more uniform layer and carved-out face framing, with the shortest layer starting anywhere between the cheekbone and below the jaw line, Victoria tells . The shape is typically more round, which allows the style to have a max amount of volume. This type of haircut has pushed the trend toward polished and refined with less of a messy undone style.

Butterfly Haircut Unstyled

Since there are slight variations of the butterfly haircut, Victoria says it's best to go to the salon equipped with photos of the style and length you're after. Based on what length you are currently at, face shape, texture, density, and curl pattern, ask your stylist what length the face-framing layers should be and what overall length would suit you best, she says. Talk about your daily routine, including the products you use, to see if any adjustments need to be made in achieving this look. If you have a curl pattern and would like the option to wear it natural, let your stylist know so it is taken into consideration when designing the haircut for you.

Depending on your texture — fine, medium, or coarse — and your curl pattern, there can be technical adjustments made to customize a version of this style for you, Victoria says. This haircut can be worn with natural texture as well. Similar to a blown-out style, the shape will be round and voluminous.

She explains that the best at-home tool for creating the butterfly effect is the Dyson Airwrap's long barrel attachment, but it can also be achieved with a round brush or a medium to large curling iron. Using your tool of choice, split your hair in half down the center back, curling each side in the same direction (toward or away from the face), and let it cool before brushing out the wave for a smooth polished finish, Victoria says. Regardless if you are curling toward or away from the face, you want to curl the shortest front layer away from the face to create that signature butterfly wing.

When it comes to products, she says they'll really be determined by your hair texture. People with fine hair will want to look for products that are intended for volume and hold. A root-lifting spray, mousse, styling foam, thickener, dry shampoo, and dry texture spray, Victoria says. Stay away from oils and creams to not weigh down the hair. Medium textures will want a light blow-dry cream, volume spray or mousse, and a dry texture spray to finish. Coarse hair should look to a blow-dry cream, hair milk, or leave-in conditioner paired with a light hold product, finished with a light hair oil or styling cream.

On the left, you'll see what the haircut looked like when I used a blow dryer and a 3/4-inch-barrel curling iron, and on the right is the cut when I let my hair air-dry. The butterfly haircut has definitely given my hair much more movement and volume, especially when I let my natural curl pattern do its thing. I'm a big fan of the longer face-framing layers that Victoria added in, which curl around nicely to get that iconic butterfly-wing flip.

Overall, it's been an extremely manageable style (I just use some texturizing cream or spray) that works both air-dried and blow-dried and gives that extra boost of volume to my thin hair without making it look stringy. Basically, it checks all my boxes.

Celebrity News Constance Wu Reveals She Recently Welcomed Her Second Child: He's Still a Little Nugget by Monica Sisavat Solís 8 hours agoIf you’re anything like me and you’re chronically late to trends but still want to try them out, this is your sign to get the Butterfly Cut. I know I know, a new haircut is scary, but I promise this is the perfect one for you. And if all that searching on TikTok hasn’t shown you why, lemme collate the reasons for you here:

If you were eyeing the Wolf Cut but didn’t like the short shaggy look (and you’ve cared for your hair too long to give it the chop) the Butterfly Cut is the PERFECT for you. Because of the way it’s cut, it allows you to maintain all (and I mean all) your length - I was so unhappy with this I took a scissors to it after to manually get it shorter 💀This gives you the beautiful cascading layers without compromising on style.

I personally think it’s called a Butterfly Cut because of the way it metamorphosizes. The layers mean you get multiple haircuts in one - want it to look like the iconic ‘Rachel’? Leave the longer bits behind your shoulders. Want to cover up your shoulders or show off a perm? Bring it all up front. It ✨transforms✨

This Is Ur Sign To Get That Butterfly Cut 🦋

People on the internet are talking about how it needs styling but HUH??? It really doesn’t! If your hair is pin straight, then ok maybe the layers won’t show. But it’s not going to look bad. And if your hair is a lil wavy it’ll look extra cute with all the layers. But if you wanna give her some TLC? Yes queen 💅 I included 2 pics (styled and unstyled) so you know what she looks like in all scenarios.

Aaaand btw, I DIY-ed my butterfly cut. Do I regret it? How hard was it, really? Can we trust reviews on the internet? Find out in my next post here! 🤭

Gorgeous skin! 🤩 Is that a filter or any make up to it or just pure natural shot? I love your travel post but just not sure why there aren't many people liking or commenting your post like I did 😂😂😂😂😂
