7. Windswept Side-Part Butterfly Cut
Channeling old-Hollywood romance with a modern edge, the deep side part gives the butterfly cut instant drama. All that volume sweeps to one side, the face-framing layers cascade like a waterfall, and the whole look feels windswept in the best way. It is the perfect fall date-night hair — glamorous without trying too hard.
Flip your part while hair is still wet for the most natural-looking volume; a dry flip never sits as well. This style works on every curl type, from loose waves to tight coils.
What You’ll Need

How to Make
- Create a deep side part on wet hair and apply mousse at the roots.
- Smooth curl cream through the lengths and scrunch.
- Clip the roots on the heavy side up for lift while diffusing.
- Diffuse with your head tilted to the heavy side to encourage the sweep.
- Remove clips, tuck the lighter side behind your ear, and pin discreetly.
- Mist with flexible-hold spray, keeping the ends touchable.
