4. Feathered Butterfly Cut with Curtain Bangs
How to Create
The feathered butterfly 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 through the back. 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.
To craft this layered cut, divide damp hair into front and back sections with a radial parting behind the ears. 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 the top volume into the lower length. Apply a lightweight volumizing lotion to the roots and lengths. Blow-dry the curtain fringe using a large ceramic round brush directed forward and outward, then roll the crown sections over the brush, cooling each curl with the cold-shot button to set lasting airy volume.
