Jellyfish haircut with a rounded cap and long lower lengths
A rounded short cap wraps around the whole head above distinctly long lower lengths. The two levels remain visibly separate, giving this cut a more abrupt silhouette than blended long layers.
Your salon brief
Show the photo.
Then talk it through.
I want to discuss the short rounded cap around the entire head with long lengths left beneath it. Please show me the proposed boundary from the side and back, and explain how much hair would remain in the lower section.
- Where would the cap edge sit around my ears and at the back?
- How dense would the long lower lengths remain?
- What could we do with the two levels if I later wanted a blended cut?

What defines it
The shape
The short upper outline continues beyond the front side panels into the back. Use the generated reference to discuss that all-around boundary and the amount of long hair you want visible underneath, rather than treating it as a conventional layered cut.
The hime cut places blunt shorter panels beside the face instead of forming a full upper cap. The octopus cut has a rounded layered upper body too, but its tapered lower pieces create a less clearly divided two-level shape.
Your hair, your routine
Before you book
- Section balance
- Ask how dividing your density between upper and lower sections would affect both the cap's fullness and the long ends.
- Front cap edge
- Choose how the rounded upper boundary should frame your face without assuming it needs the hime cut's separate full fringe.
- Joining the levels
- Growing a short cap toward long lower lengths is a substantial transition; discuss intermediate outlines you would be comfortable wearing.
- Two-part routine
- Consider whether you want to arrange the upper cap and lower lengths separately whenever the shape needs resetting.
Day to day
Styling and products
Optional. The haircut itself is a salon service.
Arrange the cap first, then release the longer hair beneath it so both levels are visible. Check the back as well as the sides, since the all-around upper boundary is what separates this design from face-framing panels.
An optional detangling brush is the listed tool role. Follow its directions and work gently through each section without pulling the cap downward to match the lower hair; a brush cannot create the two cut levels illustrated in the reference.

Wet Brush Original Detangler, Pink Frost
What to check
Similar cushioned detangling brush in Pink Frost, with an oval head rather than the broad illustrated paddle. Choose for gentle section-by-section detangling; it is not a heated styling tool or automatically suitable for every wig fiber. Follow the brush and hairpiece directions. Some review feedback concerns durability.

Questions
What makes a haircut a jellyfish cut?
This reference has a short rounded cap that continues around the head above separate long lengths. Ask to see the back boundary so the two-level idea is clear before cutting.
How is a jellyfish haircut different from a hime cut?
The hime reference concentrates its blunt short panels near the face. The jellyfish design extends the short upper shape all the way around, including the back.
