4. The Curly Butterfly Bob
Who says the butterfly cut has to be long? The curly butterfly bob takes the same wing-like layering and compresses it into a chin-to-shoulder shape that is pure fall chic. It is bold, bouncy, and surprisingly versatile — the shorter length means faster wash days and curls that spring tighter and hold longer.
This cut suits oval, heart, and square face shapes beautifully, since the rounded silhouette softens angles. Ask for a rounded, layered bob with the nape slightly tapered and plenty of texture through the crown so the top never falls flat.
What You’ll Need
- Volumizing mousse
- Curl cream
- Root-lift spray
- Diffuser
- Wide-tooth comb
- Small claw clips for styling
How to Make
- Apply root-lift spray to damp roots, then mousse through the mid-lengths.
- Smooth curl cream over the ends to keep the shorter pieces defined.
- Diffuse with your head tilted side to side to build width and roundness.
- Once dry, pick the roots gently with a wide-tooth comb for airy volume.
- Pin one side back with a claw clip for an asymmetric evening look.
- Scrunch in a pea-sized amount of cream on day two to revive the shape.
