2. Feathered Butterfly Collarbone Cut with Curtain Bangs
Execution Process
The feathered butterfly collarbone cut with curtain bangs focuses on multi-tiered, cascading layers that create dynamic root volume and outward wing-like motion. This concept uses short, face-framing layers that begin around the cheekbones, transitioning seamlessly into longer, flowing layers that graze the clavicle. The accompanying curtain bangs part gently down the center, sweeping outward to open up the eye area and accentuate high cheekbones. This cut provides an optimal solution for medium-to-thick hair densities, removing excess internal weight and allowing natural waves to bounce freely without creating heavy, flat sections around the crown.
Begin by parting damp hair down the center and isolating a triangular fringe section at the front hairline, securing the remaining hair back. Establish the collarbone baseline using sharp shears, lightly texturizing the bottom half-inch to eliminate rigid weight lines. Elevate the front quadrants forward at a ninety-degree angle, slide-cutting diagonally from the nose down toward the perimeter to establish the feathered face-framing tiers. Move to the back crown, lifting panels vertically and point-cutting the ends to blend top volume into the baseline. Apply a thermal protectant spray, then blow-dry the curtain fringe outward using a medium round brush before diffusing the remaining lengths.
