Octopus Haircuts in Georgetown, Texas
Quick answer
An octopus haircut has short layers around the crown that fall into long, thin pieces. It sits between a shag and a wolf cut. Karen Shardlow can create a version for your hair at Breeze Salon + Spa in Georgetown, TX.

What makes it different
The crown stays short and rounded, and the ends are noticeably thinner, which creates the tentacle effect behind its name.
Who it suits
Natural wave helps. Fine hair can work too, but it needs a light touch at the ends.
