If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram or TikTok lately, chances are you’ve seen the “butterfly layers haircut” trending like crazy—and for good reason. This modern take on the iconic 90s supermodel look is making waves in 2025 for its gorgeous shape, built-in volume, and the way it flatters almost every face shape. Whether you’re going for big, bouncy blowouts or effortless tousled texture, butterfly layers are the upgrade your hair has been waiting for.
At Beauty by Kadence, we love helping clients stay on-trend without sacrificing timeless beauty, and the butterfly layers haircut is the perfect example. It’s versatile, low-maintenance, and unbelievably flattering.
What Is a Butterfly Layers Haircut?
The butterfly layers haircut gets its name from how the layers fall—soft, airy, and fanned out like butterfly wings. It’s all about creating volume at the crown and movement around the face, while keeping the length in the back. Think of it as a hybrid between long curtain bangs and soft cascading layers.
Unlike traditional layered haircuts that can sometimes look choppy or over-styled, butterfly layers blend seamlessly. They enhance your natural texture and make your blowouts look fuller without heavy styling. If you love that retro, 90s glam look (hello Cindy Crawford), this cut is for you.
Why Everyone’s Asking for It
So, why is the butterfly layers haircut blowing up in salons across the country—including ours?
1. It Flatters Every Face Shape
One of the top reasons we’re recommending butterfly layers to so many clients is because they work on everyone. Round face? The layers slim and elongate. Square jaw? The soft curves of the layers bring balance. Long face? The volume adds width in all the right places. It’s like contouring… but for your hair.
2. It Adds Instant Volume and Bounce
Clients who struggle with flat or lifeless hair are shocked at how much body the butterfly layers haircut gives them—without any extra effort. The layered structure naturally lifts your roots and gives your blowout that full-bodied, bouncy look.
3. It Keeps Your Length (And Grows Out Beautifully)
Don’t want to go short? No problem. Butterfly layers are all about keeping your length while adding movement. Plus, they grow out super gracefully. You won’t find yourself rushing back in for a trim every 4 weeks.
4. It Looks Amazing Styled—or Not
Whether you’re into big blowouts, soft waves, or a quick tousle-and-go routine, butterfly layers work with your style. They bring shape and interest even when you don’t have time to style your hair fully. It’s the kind of cut that looks effortlessly cool with minimal effort.
Who Should Get Butterfly Layers?
The beauty of the butterfly layers haircut is how customizable it is. It works for:
- Long hair that needs shape and volume
- Medium-length cuts that want a more dynamic silhouette
- Straight, wavy, or loosely curled textures
- Anyone looking to bring life back into their look
At Beauty by Kadence, we take the time to customize your butterfly layers based on your face shape, hair density, and lifestyle. Want more face-framing? More bounce at the crown? We tailor the layers to fit you.
Styling Tips for Butterfly Layers
To get the most out of your butterfly layers haircut, here are a few pro tips from our stylists:
● Blowout with a Round Brush
Blow-drying with a medium or large round brush creates that signature bouncy look. Aim for volume at the roots and curl the ends slightly under or outward depending on the mood.
● Use a Volumizing Mousse or Root Lift
A light mousse or root-lifting spray adds definition to each layer without weighing it down. We recommend Amika’s Plus Size Volume & Body Mousse, available in-salon.
● Try Hot Rollers or a Large Curling Iron
If you love the “90s bombshell” finish, hot rollers or a big-barrel curling iron are your best friends. Roll the top layers away from your face for that lifted effect.
● Dry Shampoo = Secret Weapon
Not only does dry shampoo extend your style, but it also adds grip and fullness to your layers between washes. We’ve got our favorites stocked and ready for you.
