An ode to the shag of the ’70s, this butterfly cut is all about the pieces and layers that frame your entire face. “Layers create a style that looks like you’ve flipped your hair,” says James. “With just a few twists and drags with a big barrel iron or flat iron, you can add volume and achieve the desired length.”

You may have seen the hime (meaning “princess” in Japanese) haircut trending on TikTok. This style features short side pieces that frame your face and provide contrast with the rest of your hair, which is worn long and straight. “Known for its unique Japanese influence, it is popular for its elegant and edgy combinations,” says Stolze.
This haircut is perfect for people with straight or slightly wavy hair. “Smoothing your hair will help your sideburns maintain their shape and fall nicely,” explains Stolze.
If you want this cut, Stolze emphasizes that it’s important to clearly communicate with your stylist about the length of your sides and what parts of your face you want to emphasize. “Remember, precision cutting is key to achieving this unique look,” she says.

Strictly speaking, this isn’t a haircut, but “the long, bohemian braid style option mirrors a free-flowing long haircut,” says James. These are feed-in box braids with wavy or curled twists that are attached by weaving together natural and textured extensions. Braiding your hair leaves random strands, creating a tendril-like effect.
