However not everyone is convinced with another TikTok user who goes by @celestefohl poking fun at the hairdo likening it to TV mum Carol Brady from The Brady Bunch. 

‘The new jellyfish haircut. I like it, it’s pretty cool but I’ve definitely seen it on someone before and that person was Carol Brady,’ they wrote in the clip. 

Dozens in the comments were quick to agree and slammed the daring new hair trend.

‘This is how people look when they do their own hair extensions,’ one user joked. 

‘I used to cut this haircut for a lady back when I was in hair school in 06. She always called it ‘two layers’ and I hated it,’ a hairdresser shared. 

‘It was also me back in 2011 when I messed up a scene haircut and got bullied for it,’ another viewer recalled.  

‘No. imagine how is grows out,’ responded a fourth.
