Meet the Divisive “Jellyfish” Haircut Celebrities are Sporting

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards brought a slew of memorable beauty moments to Los Angeles on Sunday, ranging from old Hollywood glamour to more statement-making styles. However, one hairstyle emerged as the standout of the evening: the “jellyfish” haircut. Celebrities like Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, and Lady Gaga all embraced iterations of the bold cut. Here’s a closer look at the trend dividing social media.

What is the jellyfish haircut?

You could call it the best of both worlds, fusing elements of a bob with longer hair. The result is reminiscent of a bowl cut mixed with a mullet. The jellyfish haircut get its name from the short, choppy layers framing the face, giving the appearance of a chin-length bob or a jellyfish’s bell. The remaining hair flows long and blunt, resembling tentacles.

According to Dyson’s Global Styling Ambassador Dylan Bradshaw, “It started on the catwalk last year, but it’s now really making its way into the mainstream.” It’s a great way for people with longer locks to experiment with layering and subtle tweaks to create different face shapes.

The key, he says, is adjusting the angle—”some are straight, while others fall at the jawline or are designed to follow the cheekbones, like Lady Gaga’s version, which softens facial contours.”

Getting the jellyfish haircut is more straightforward than it looks with the help of Dyson’s supersonic hairdryer, as noted by Bradshaw. “Full heat, full speed, and the right prep product allow you to manipulate the hair exactly where needed,” he says.

“You can leave the rest of the hair shaggy for texture or go super sleek and straight. The main focus is on using the Dyson Supersonic r™ Professional hair dryer and a brush to shape and enhance the layers, whether around the cheekbone or jawline, bringing the whole look together in a modern, versatile way.”
