I came up with a name for the new do that's everywhere now. It's the Octopus. Remember the 'reverse mullet'? This derogatory term is used for the wedge cut gone wrong, or sported by people who don't look good in it.
The Octopus is, in simple terms, the do sported by Carol Brady (from the Brady Bunch) for a while, in which the hair is cut short, almost a ball shape, and wisps are left at the bottom, which stick out. This name comes from the fact that hairs on the top of the scalp are cut short, forming a sort of ball or blob at the top, and then long strands of hair, which attach closer to the neck are left, sortof like tentacles.
A lot of attractive girls are sporting this look, at least the ones I see on the train, but to me it's layering gone horribly wrong, and doesn't look good!

In my day that was called a shag haircut.
I wonder if girls these days go in to the hiardresser and ask for a shag, or if there's some trendy name for it.
Either or, the long wispy bits, which can get quite long, is cheating, and stupid. Another example of young people getting away with dumb looks just because they're in the flower of youth.
Are these hairstyle coming back already?
