The Jellyfish Haircut uses two deliberately disconnected levels: a rounded jaw-length bob on top and a much longer, lighter underlayer below. Try it on to judge where the blunt upper line meets your cheeks and jaw, whether the long underlayer feels balanced, and how much daily smoothing the graphic separation would require. How is a Jellyfish Haircut different from a Hime Cut? A jellyfish cut forms a complete rounded bob layer around the head. A Hime Cut keeps long hair overall and adds blunt bangs plus shorter side locks near the jaw. How often does the top layer need trimming? Plan on shaping the bob line about every six to eight weeks. The longer underlayer can usually go longer, but both levels look clearest when kept smooth and split-end free.
