3. Butterfly Cut with Feathered Curtain Fringe
How to Create
The butterfly cut with a feathered curtain fringe combines deep interior layering with center-parted, swept-back bangs that frame the eyes and temples. The curtain fringe blends into the shortest top tier, creating an open frame around the upper face that highlights the cheekbones. This layout softens forehead lines and crow’s feet while establishing dynamic movement across the crown. The feathered edges prevent the bangs from feeling heavy or boxy, allowing the hair to separate into airy, wing-like sections that integrate naturally into the longer lengths.

To execute this cut, section out a centered triangular fringe area starting two inches back from the front hairline. Direct the left side of the fringe across to the right eye and slide-cut downward, repeating the opposite over-direction on the right side to establish symmetrical curtain wings. Connect these pieces to the top crown panels by pulling horizontal sections forward at a ninety-degree angle and point-cutting the tips. Style by applying a root-lifting spray to damp fringe roots, wrapping the bangs forward around a round brush while blow-drying, and rolling them backward off the face to cool for lasting lift.
