Vestiges of the 2000s, butterflies have made a remarkable comeback in fashion in recent months to conquer young people. A real success, to the point of turning today into a real hair trend, the “Butterfly Haircut”, which already has millions of followers on social networks.
Stop everything! Are you hesitating to change your look this summer, but aren’t ready for a square yet? Do not panic, the ‘Butterfly Haircut’ is the ideal alternative to experiment with the shortest haircuts without having to get rid of your mane. In just a few weeks, this retro-inspired hairstyle that plays on the lengths with layers has risen to the rank of summer cut on social networks. TikTok users love it, to the point that the hashtag #butterflyhair has already accumulated nearly 5 million views.
A cut from the 2000s
After the Birkin bangs, the Barbie ponytail, or even the unbeatable mullet cut, it is therefore a hairstyle straight from the 2000s that stands out as the cut of the moment. Because it is reminiscent of that exhibited by Eva Longoria, alias Gabrielle Solis, in the series “Desperate Housewives”, and this, from 2004. Yet we thought the degraded dead and buried, but it was without counting on the unprecedented enthusiasm for this decade which today dominates the content of our dressing room as well as our bathroom.
The “Butterfly Haircut” is characterized by a gradient that starts just under the chin. It should be pronounced enough to make it look like you have a bob if your lengths are tied in a ponytail, then should flow down to the ends, as if your hair is forming a waterfall. The cut allows you to play not only with the lengths but also with the volume, reminiscent of certain shag cuts from the 70s and 80s.
On TikTok, the user Lara Andres offers a whole tutorial to take care of and accentuate the “Butterfly Hair”, which may however, depending on the nature of your hair, only require light maintenance. This is to give them texture, and above all to wave them in certain strategic places to bring this “butterfly” effect which will make all the difference on the beaches of France and Navarre this summer. To your scissors!
