How to ask your stylist for this style
Ask for a "long, layered butterfly shag with curtain bangs." For the color, request a dimensional, "expensive brunette" with subtle, blended highlights and lowlights.
Tools:
Choosing Products
A volumizing mousse; a round brush for bangs; a rich, hydrating mask for the rich color.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
Style the curtain bangs with a round brush.
The rest of the long, shaggy layers can be air-dried with a wave cream to enhance the natural movement and texture.
Caring for your hair
The cut needs regular trims (every 8 weeks) to keep the layers effective.
The "Expensive Brunette" color is low maintenance and grows out softly.

What is a "butterfly shag"?
It is a hybrid of the butterfly cut and a shag, meaning it has the shorter, face-framing layers of a butterfly cut but with more all-over, choppy texture like a shag.
