What is a Octopus Haircut?
Also called: octopus cut
The octopus haircut has short, rounded layers on top and longer, thinned-out strands below — the wispy lengths are the 'tentacles'.
It is softer and more blended than a wolf cut, with most of the volume at the crown.
Who the Octopus Haircut suits and how to ask for it
- Best for: Straight to wavy hair, and anyone growing out a shag.
- Upkeep: Air-drying with a texture spray is usually enough; a trim about every 8 weeks keeps the top rounded.
- Ask your stylist: Ask for rounded, shorter layers through the crown with longer, wispy lengths left underneath.
- Compared with the Short Shag Haircut: A short shag is choppy all over; the octopus cut puts the short, rounded layers on top and leaves longer, wispy pieces below. Short Shag Haircut
