What are butterfly layers?

Short layers around the face that blend into the longer hair below, so the hair moves when it is blown out.

What is the difference between the three?

The long version is bouncy when blown out. The mid-length version curls away from the face. The curly version has its layers defined around the face.

Can I change the colour?

Yes. Type the change and the picture is made with it. It is a request, so the result may differ from the sample.

The butterfly cut has short layers around the face over longer hair, and it is known for its movement. These pictures show long hair with short layers in a bouncy blowout, shoulder-length layers curled away from the face, and curly hair with layers defined around the face. Each is seen blown out in a salon, outdoors at golden hour and beside a window. You can type a change, such as honey blonde, to ask for the cut with it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
