The butterfly haircut is a hairstyle featuring numerous layers to create volume throughout the hair. It blends shorter and longer layers throughout the hair, as well as face-framing layers. According to L'Oreal Paris, the butterfly haircut "is going to be a flattering style for most", though it works best for individuals whose hair is at least shoulder length. [1]
