Dislacimer
The person who loves the voluminous, layered shape of the Farrah Fawcett cut but prefers a classic, single-process color over a blonde or highlighted look.
Hairstyle Insight

The cut provides iconic feathered volume.
A timeless and glamorous silhouette.
The color is rich, classic, and sophisticated.
Highlights the health and shine of the hair.
Beautiful face-framing effect.
Common Misconceptions
That it is only for straight hair.
How to ask your stylist for this style
Ask for a "butterfly haircut." For color, ask for "'honey bronde,' a warm, natural-looking blend of light brown and golden blonde tones."
Tools:
Choosing Products
Sulfate-free purple shampoo; a bond-building hair mask with quinoa protein; volumizing mousse.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
To style the butterfly cut, use a round brush and blow dryer to sweep the shorter, face-framing layers up and away from your face for that signature voluminous "wing" effect.
Caring for your hair
The butterfly cut needs trims every 8-10 weeks.
The "bronde" color is low-maintenance and can go 3-4 months between salon visits.
Frequently asked questions

Dislacimer
Does the butterfly cut make hair thin?
No, quite the opposite. The heavy layering removes weight in a way that creates a lot of volume and movement, making hair appear much fuller.
