The look blends two haircuts— a bob and a longer style—into one, not-quite seamless style. The cut is similar to traditional Japanese hime or "princess" haircuts, which have dramatically short layers in the front, instead of all the way around. Hurtado explains, "The jellyfish haircut is a half-short, half-long mullet style.

Create two braids and secure both with a hair tie. To tend to the shorter layers, create four or five loose braids randomly placed throughout the hair to create a natural-looking wave. In the morning, remove the braids from both sections of layers and brush through your hair with your fingers to reveal a Y2K-inspired, crimped hairstyle.
