50 indie stylist Volume 4 Issue 2
what the next few months of our
client requests are going to look like. I
asked Garcia and Tran about the most
popular viral trends on the short hair
scene today (the ones that don't have
self-explanatory names) what they are,
and how these speci cations tie back
to the basic forms of a short haircut.
The Butterfl y
"The butter y involves a cut with
short layers that have soft, wispy
ends," Garcia explains. Tran adds
that the '70s/'80s-inspired look is
essentially a face-framing shag.
The Curtain
The curtain can be worn on any of
the three fundamental short haircuts.
The identifying feature is its center
parting and long bangs. "This is a
take on a very '90s look," Tran says.
"It's versatile and works on many
face shapes, featuring a middle part
with lifted roots and feathered ends
to frame the forehead and face."
The Wolf
According to Garcia, the wolf is
a textured, wild style with a lot of
volume. The untamed appearance of
heavy face-framing layers best lends
itself to an edgy shag haircut.
