These Cool-Girl Butterfly Haircuts Have Officially Influenced Me to Get the Hyper-Layered Chop

Two women with layered haircuts, one with red hair one with blonde hair.

For most of my life, my hair was all one length. No bangs, no angles, just straight across. It wasn't until recently that I got the itch to be a little more adventurous with my hair. Enter: the butterfly haircut, an uber-layered style (see: Hannah Montana's OG wig) that's designed to mimic the flutter of a butterfly's wings.

"The butterfly cut is all about creating the illusion of shorter hair around the face while maintaining length through the back. It’s built with soft, airy layers that mimic the effect of a blowout, almost like your hair is always in motion," explains Franck Izquierdo, co-founder of IGK Hair Care.
