‘Mullet with an identity crisis’ people say as the jellyfish haircut becomes the latest trend, but would you try it?
''A MULLET with an identity crisis'' - this is how beauty lovers have described the latest hair trend to hit the salons across the world, the so-called jellyfish haircut.
The rather unique and funky haircut, which combines a short bob with long layers on both sides, has been making waves on social media, capturing the attention of influencers and celebrities alike.
As you might've realised by now, the hairdo, which has caused quite the storm, is characterised by its striking resemblance to a jellyfish.
Whether you want to embrace your natural colours or add some bright tones, the jellyfish haircut is said to be the perfect choice for endless ways of self-expression by pushing boundaries of traditional beauty norms, In Style reported.
One whizz and fan of the look, Jennifer Korab, said this daring cut looks incredible on anyone, whether you have a sharper jawline or rounder cheeks.
“Yes, the jellyfish haircut can work on any face shape, but the best shapes for this cut are round or diamond, as it helps elongate the face,” the celebrity hairstylist explained.

“The haircut will create a round shape, so make sure you’re okay with that silhouette before going for the chop,” warned a fellow pro, Sophie Gutterman who is texture specialist.
What's more, the unique look can also work on just about any hair texture, including pin straight and curly locks.
"If you’re into it and want to try something different, why not?!” Sophie added.
But although the funky look has become all the rage - with #jellyfishhaircut being viewed close to 150million times on TikTok - the daring and layered hairdo has left social media users totally divided... and some even hair-rified.
One person, for instance, reckoned it felt ''like a mullet with an identity crisis''.
Someone else thought: ''It’s like a bowl cut and a mullet had a love child.. so a bullet?''
''Nope! this is the nopiest nope you ever will hear of nopes,'' a third was left gobsmacked.
''I couldn’t give a harder no,'' another added.
Would you give this daring cut a try and step into 2024 looking like a jellyfish?
Meanwhile, across the ocean in Russia, people are going mad for another trend to hit the beauty world - rotten claws and nails that look like decaying teeth.
The rather unusual nail art, Dazed Digital reported, comes with a number of designs beauty lovers can choose from - fungus, rotting flies and even severe bruising.
The curated grossness, which has been described as ''absolutely revolting'', is a powerful statement against the so-called 'clean glean aesthetic', where nail lovers are getting adorable 'blueberry milk' and 'glazed doughnut' manicures.
There a number of talented nail artists praising the trend, but the three biggest names in the landscape belong to Varvara (corrosion.nails), Marggie (marggie_nails), from Moscow, as well as Diana (raw.nailsss).
''I am inspired by textures such as tree bark, stone relief and water stains,'' explained Varvara.
But instead of appreciating the beauty of daisies, Varvara prefers experimenting with textures close to fossils and even reptile scales.
Just like Varvara, fellow nail guru, Diana, also finds inspiration outdoors - her work resembles mould spores, broken bones and fungus.
According to the Russian beauty pros, the new trend reflects the shifting perspective of beauty, in their opinion.

''The boundaries of beauty perception are expanding; today, people are increasingly drawn to unconventional aesthetic,'' noted Diana.
''People are growing tired of the so-called perfect nail art, and the easiest way to stand out is to do the opposite,'' Varvara echoed.
