You’ve probably heard of the butterfly cut – one of the most in-demand crops in recent years. Traditionally, this style combines soft layering throughout the length for maximum dimension and movement, and it’s often requested to refresh long locks. But, as it always happens with hair trends, a good cut evolves to match the ever-changing fashion. The butterfly bob is the latest fusion of popular styles that takes layered cuts to a whole new level. Here are 15 stylish crops to sport a trendy look! True to its name, the style is a spectacular blend of the feathered cut and traditional bob that makes your short crop more voluminous and touchable. Its characteristic features are textured layers and face-framing tendrils or flippy bangs that create the flowy nature of the look. Have your pick and try it out!
1. Bouncy Side-Swept Hairstyle
This elongated, golden blonde look is all volume and movement thanks to the swishing layers that grace the tresses closer to the tips. The swoopy bangs that cover one side of the face maximize the alluring effect of the crop and add body to the mane.
2. Shaggy Face-Framing Crop
Imagine combining a classic shag with a trendy layered crop like the one in the picture below. Now, throw in a wispy fringe that shifts from short, eyebrow-grazing length to lengthy, face-framing tendrils on both sides of the face. Tousle your locks for a messy finish, and you’re so ready to become a better version of yourself.
3. Layered Bob with Curtain Bangs
This layered bob is the epitome of good taste and modern fashion. The hair is layered from mid-length to the ends to create visible movement and an airy feel whenever you move your head or flip your tresses. The stylish curtain bangs keep the upper part of the crop bouncy and extremely flattering for oval and heart-shaped faces.
4. Neck-Length Haircut
The power of face-framing layers is undeniable, especially when they’re paired with short to medium haircuts. This combo instantly lifts the locks at the roots, making your hair appear much fuller and thicker. With a good thickening spray or a texturizing mist, you’ll get that volume-boosting look in minutes.
5. Swoopy Style
Don’t listen to those who claim that layers are for thick locks only. In fact, they can look equally flattering on thin strands if you know which style to choose. Some soft layering around the face is the ideal way to achieve the signature swoopy glam without sacrificing much of your hair density.
6. Blowout Hairstyle
The ‘90s layered bob has had a major comeback lately thanks to its bouncy texture and volume-enhancing effect. The layering is rather subtle as it creates a seamless blend of lengths aimed to make your hair look fuller. To style the crop, blow dry your tresses with a round brush, moving away from the face.
7. Beveled Crop
A beveled haircut usually features a gently rounded shape with soft layers scattered throughout the interior of the crop. Some might even call it a ‘baby butterfly’ cut because the layering is not that prominent and defined compared to the classic hairstyle.
8. Wispy Haircut
If you’re unsure what types of layers to choose this time, ask your stylist for some hair advice. Wispy layers are great for those seeking an effortless hairdo with lots of movement. Make sure to flip your ends towards the back of the head to achieve a cascading effect.
9. Comb-Over Bob
Experimenting with hair parting is one way to play with your layered haircut and enjoy a liberating movement of your voluminous locks. A deep side part might be ideal for a dramatic effect and fashion-forward look.
10. Lob with Layers
As practice shows, medium layered haircuts are incredibly versatile and captivating. Take, for instance, this long bob with swoopy layers and matching bangs. The chosen length allows for using hair rollers to create a bouncy effect and make the layered sections more defined.
