If you're unfamiliar with a "butterfly" haircut, let '70s-era Farrah Fawcett and '90s-era Jennifer Aniston (as Rachel Green) be your guides. The "butterfly" cut has dramatic layers, with much shorter pieces around the face and cascading layers towards the bottom. It's sometimes referred to as a short haircut inside a long haircut.
In its modern iteration, there's some variation in the butterfly cut. It doesn't always need to be styled in such a feathered way, and there are shorter and more subtle versions. If you're intrigued by a "butterfly" style, allow these celebrity cuts to serve as your mood board.
