Have thin hair? Round face? The butterfly bob might be the perfect haircut beauty lovers look for that matches their face shapes and hair types.

According to Vogue UK, Butterfly Bob rose as one of the most popular hairstyles in 2024. Its Google search has increased by 94 percent, and the TikTok clips with hashtags for this trend have reached 2 million. 

In particular, the so-called haircut was called the "butterfly" bob as it is characterized by adding long and feathered layers and curtain bangs to the normal bob cut, creating the illusion of a butterfly's wings.

In a press release, Top One hairstylists described this as a "more flexible and laid-back" version of the classic bob cut, which became a trending style this year. 

Not only beauty enthusiasts were booking this cut to salons, but even celebrities, including Selena Gomez, Zendaya, Jenna Ortega, Gigi Hadid, and more. 

This gradually became one of the hottest hairstyles due to its beautifying and face-framing style that embraces one's natural hair. This is also a go-to hairstyle for everyone, regardless of whether the hair is straight or curly, thin or thick, or if the face is round or square.

For people with round and square faces, experts claimed that this could create an illusion of having a longer face, while for those with oval shapes, this will result in a flattering diamond-like face, while a heart-shaped face will have a more balanced look.

For those with thin and straight hair, this will help them have voluminous hair, and for curly hair, this can be a good style to chop areas that don't need too much volume. 

This haircut is more likable because it is perfect for people who want to have low-maintenance hair. Styling this takes a few minutes of blow drying using tools from reliable brands like Dyson and brushing it with a round brush.

For a beach wave or undone look, spraying seawater is a practical tip to add texture to the hair.
