- Choose the upper bob length and lower layer length separately, including how much hair stays in each.
- Living with the look
- Ask how the short cap and the long underlayer will need separate shaping.
- A helpful reality check
- A preview cannot predict how your hair will fall, feel or grow. Use it to discuss length and shape, alongside your texture and routine.
What defines Jellyfish cut?
The jellyfish cut reference has two separate outlines: a rounded chin-length cap and a narrower long underlayer. The cap keeps a bob-like shape even though a second section extends toward the chest. Its disconnected tiers are more pronounced than a gradual layered haircut.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Use the front to compare how much of the lower layer shows beside the neck. In profile, follow the upper perimeter around the jaw before locating the longer strands underneath. The rear image makes the horizontal break between the cap and underlayer easiest to see.
What to confirm with your stylist
Ask your stylist to discuss the two lengths separately, including how much density stays in the lower layer. Show the degree of disconnection you prefer and ask how the upper shape falls after washing. A preview cannot determine whether your own density will produce the same proportions.

Questions about Jellyfish cut
Is this just a bob with extensions?
The reference is defined by its two visible tiers, not by one installation method. Ask whether the shape you want would require cutting, extensions or a temporary styling approach. The preset itself does not assess hair length or installation suitability.
