Concept Overview & Aesthetic Appeal
This style combines short, sweeping interior layers through the crown and face frame with long, cascading length down the back. The face-framing sections curve outward away from the cheeks like butterfly wings, drawing the visual focal point upward and outward to balance rounder jawlines.
Step-by-Step Execution & Cutting Guide
-
Divide damp hair into an upper crown section and a lower length section.
-
Cut the baseline perimeter below the shoulder blades using soft point-cutting.
-
Elevate the top section to 180 degrees, slide-cutting downward starting at the chin line to create sweeping layers.
-
Carve out curved interior channels along the side sections to encourage an outward-flicking motion.
-
Blend transitions dry using texturizing shears to maintain a seamless drape.

Pro Styling & Everyday Application Tips
-
Apply a heat-activated blowout cream through damp mid-lengths.
-
Blow-dry using a 3-inch round ceramic brush, rolling face-framing sections backward away from the face.
-
Set the top sections in jumbo Velcro rollers for 15 minutes while cooling to lock in bouncy root lift.
