The butterfly haircut for long hair has taken the beauty world by storm, reclaiming its throne as the ultimate "it-girl" aesthetic. While it draws inspiration from the voluminous 70s shag and the iconic 90s "Rachel," the modern iteration is all about movement, versatility, and the illusion of a shorter style without sacrificing an inch of length.

For those with long tresses, this cut is a total game-changer. It provides the heavy-lifting required to remove bulk while adding a sophisticated, ethereal bounce that mimics the delicate flutter of a butterfly's wings. If you've been feeling like your long hair is "just sitting there," this is the transformation you've been waiting for.
