Get your layers nice and bouncy with these hair styling tricks!
So, you finally got the trendy butterfly cut, congratulations! Now comes the fun part – styling your new crop at home for the first time. And let’s be honest, no one likes that tedious blow-drying routine that makes your arms ache and your mind question your life (and hair styling) choices.
There’s a way out, though. We’ve browsed through HairTok and found three simple yet effective butterfly haircut styling hacks every newbie can handle. No more round brush and arm workout with a blow-dryer!
Beauty blogger @hairtellraj found a cool solution to all your hair frustrations when it comes to the layered cut. She uses a straightener to flip her ends in and then wraps each strand around the Velcro roller. The trick is to work the top section first and curl it backwards – moving away from the face – for maximum lift and root volume.
Then, turn the sides downwards and repeat the process until all of your hair is wrapped tightly. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes before gently unwrapping each section. Finish everything off with a texturizing spray for extra grit and long-lasting hold. Styling layers never looked so easy!
If you want a lazy-queen blowout that lasts for days and makes your freshly trimmed layers really pop, try out this hack next time. For content creator and lifestyle influencer @anci.upadhyay, butterfly cut styling finally turned into an achievable goal. Only this time, it doesn’t require special skills.
Start with your hair-washing routine and apply a volumizing mousse all over your locks, targeting the root area in particular. Blow dry your tresses upside down to activate volume. Next, take your hot brush and curl each strand in different directions – one goes inwards, another goes outwards to create a flowy and smoothed-out effect.
Secure the curled tendril with a hairpin. Apply your favorite hairspray, and by the time you’ve done your makeup, your blowout butterfly curls are ready to rock once you take the pins out.
Looking for a cool hair curling hack for your ‘90s layers? We got you here! In her latest TikTok video, @ashleenormanhair demonstrates an updated version of a classic blowout for a layered style. To recreate, section off your top layer first and curl the strands with a large barrel curler moving closer to the roots.
Pin each tendril and let it sit to seal the shape and keep the volume. Proceed with the rest of your hair and then release each curl. Brush your locks out for softer waves and secure the hairstyle with some hairspray. Ta-da! Your layers are as light and airy as butterfly wings!
