What is a butterfly haircut?

One of the most trending haircuts in 2022 is the butterfly cut. A combination of the shag with bounce, this contemporary look is super versatile. Heavily layered with short hair on the top through the crown to feathered long layers on the bottom, the butterfly hairstyle gets its name from the cute butterfly wing-like layers.

The blended short layers of hair fall on or below the chin, while the longer ones fall just below the shoulder. Creating an illusion of bounce and flounce, this beautiful hairstyle adds texture, volume, and movement to the manes.
