Jellyfish may be known for their painful sting, but no one can deny how ethereal these translucent floaties of nature look as they drift across the ocean. The jellyfish haircut's bubbly, endearing shape is exactly why it's named after the marine creature. We say shape, but we should actually say two as the jellyfish haircut is a bi-level cut consisting of two layers: the bob cut at the top and then tentacle-like hair dropping past the shoulders.

"But wait," you might be thinking to yourself, "That just sounds like a rattail with extra steps!" Not so. In an interview with Glamour, salon owner Dan Williams described jellyfish hair as much more "avant-garde" than its predecessors the mullet and rattail. "It's definitely for a niche, artsy, and experimental group," he explained. Williams went on to recommend this haircut for people who are curious to try out a bob without the need to commit to the full chop.
