Tired of your wavy or short bob? Why not opt for the Octopus Hair, this cut often confused with the mullet, which panics the canvas. Focus on this trend that makes us nostalgic for the disco years.
Miley Cyrus and Billie Eilish will witness it, the octopus cut is the hottest hair trend of the moment. Exit the wavys and the long squares, this impulse taken straight from the 80s makes its mark as a back for a fresh and rock n roll look, even on the runways of the biggest fashion shows. Today ranked as one of the most sought-after hairstyles on the Internet, expert hairdresser Olivier Lebrun reveals the secrets of this haircut that is increasingly in demand by beauty addicts.
What is "Octopus Hair"?
If we could define it as the little sister of the mullet haircut, the octopus haircut holds its own style well. Determined by its three levels of cut, it offers a 2-in-1 hairstyle which, as its name suggests, takes the shape of an octopus once done. And unlike the mullet which largely reveals the nape of the neck, the octopus cut favors volume in height while keeping well-defined contours, and beautiful lengths for a modern and feminine cut. The little must according to our expert: the fringe. Right, or curtain, the choice is yours!

How to adopt the octopus cut?
If you've hesitated for a long time to go for the square, know that it won't be the same with the octopus cut, which is much less radical. "The advantage with the octopus cut is that it suits all hair types. Both fine hair, which will gain volume, and thick hair, at any age. “, explains Olivier Lebrun. The whole thing is to choose the length of your haircut according to the shape of your face. On the color side, everything is allowed: "with this cut, you can really have fun by opting for lighter tones on the top, and darker on the lengths". adds our expert with enthusiasm. For the more daring, it is also possible to opt for pink locks on blonde hair, for a 100% rock'n'roll look. And good news, it is also possible to tie your hair without any problem. "The beauty of this cut is that there is no disconnection with the lengths. Once the hair is tied up, it gives the impression of a slightly shorter head." The advice of our specialist: opt for a ponytail by letting the locks hang down from the top for an effect of two haircuts in one.
How to maintain the octopus cut?
No need to spend hours in the bathroom, only a few minutes are enough to discipline your hair when wearing the octopus hair. "Pastes, styling milks and detanglers are very useful for maintaining the ends daily on dry hair. "says our expert. Say goodbye to hairspray or products that weigh down the hair, and hello to well-defined ends! All you have to do is try.
