What is the name of this hairstyle?

I went for a haircut yesterday.

My hair tends to get thick all over, and as soon as my bangs even touch my eyes, I fall under the "curse of wanting to chop it all off," so while I'm not exactly a fashionista, I visit the local 1,000-yen haircut shop every two to three months.“curse of wanting to chop it all off”I'm not exactly a fashionista, but I visit the local 1,000-yen haircut shop every two to three months.

My hair type is a triple threat: thick, coarse, and wavy.

Since I was a child, my hair has been thick and voluminous. When I was in the lower grades of elementary school, my mother, as a hobby, used to give all three of us siblings the classic Showa-era kid's "short-cropped bob cut 🥒." Back then, my grandfather laughed and said,

“Your head looks like a helmet.”

That left a deep scar on my young girl's heart. (Now, it's nothing more than a funny story, lol.)

The volume has settled down quite a bit compared to when I was a child, but...
Even so, lately, with the added damage to my hair, it spreads out like a mushroom, which continues to bother me.

They say human hair grows at a rate of about 1 cm per month.

With my hair type, once it grows 3 cm all over, it instantly turns into a helmet with zero defensive power ⇩

That's why, about every 3 months, the“curse of wanting to chop it all off”is triggered.

Recently, the wave of price hikes has been hitting my usual 1,000-yen haircut shop, but it's still only 1,300 yen.

Thank goodness.

That is Itsuki's go-to haircut order spell,

"Shaved in the back, a forward-slanting bob with the front at the jawline, bangs above the eyebrows, and thinned out overall to make it light."

is what it is.

Since moving to my current home, I've been there many times and have become a familiar face to the staff.

I have always had them style it like the photo above using this spell.

However, this time something was different.

If you ask what... well, the person in charge was different ←

The hairdresser who took care of me this time was a guy I was seeing at that shop for the first time.

However, Itsuki did not hesitate and conveyed the above spell to the guy.

Also, unlike most 1,000-yen haircut shops, the guy was very talkative, so he kept asking me about my preferences while cutting my hair.

I'm aware that I'm making troublesome requests even though it's cheap, but I think every time, what a kind shop this is. Love it 🩷 ← Stop that

So, in addition to my usual spell,“I’ve been thinking I’d like to try tucking my hair behind my ears, but as you can see, my hair is thick and my ears are small, so I can’t do it.”I cast this additional spell.

The guy, understanding that,

“Alright, I’ll cut it so you can tuck it behind your ears then ♪”

And with clippers and thinning shears, he sent Itsuki’s hair to the grave at double the usual amount and pace.

Itsuki, continuing to stare at herself in the mirror, notices something strange at a relatively early stage.

《Wait? I asked for it to be at the chin line before, but at this point, isn't it already at the ear line because he thinned it too much...??》

Watching her reflection, she feels inwardly panicked as her hair becomes shorter than she has ever experienced since her short bob days as a child 🥒.

《Hey, at this rate, isn't this going to be a short cut, not a bob?》

While such doubts crossed her mind, one side was already that short, so she couldn't stop the guy who was enthusiastically cutting her hair to fulfill her own wish of wanting to try tucking it behind her ears.

However, since she would never have been able to order an unknown short hairstyle on her own without knowing if it would suit her, she started to find it interesting halfway through, thinking, “This might be a good opportunity to see myself with short hair.”

The guy noticed that one side was shorter than expected and panicked, saying, “Oh? Did I cut it too short?”, but she replied, “It’s the shortest it’s ever been, but it’ll grow back soon, and I’ve wanted to try something like this, so please go ahead (lol).”

And so, the finished style...

My usual form is a mushroom, but this time, a mushroom with a little something different was summoned.

If the usual one is a shiitake, perhaps this one is a matsutake?

I hate to say it myself, but it was incredibly good.

I have a secret complex about my jawline and have always tried to hide it, but...
By exposing it all, the shadows disappeared, which had the pleasant side effect of making it less noticeable.

I expressed my gratitude to the guy for opening a new door for me as profusely as my hair was thick, and dashed out of the shop.

Since it's in the neighborhood, I walked home, but my hair, which used to be so thick, is now the cleanest it's ever been, and my head feels light.

The cold wind that has suddenly arrived in the last few days tells me that my neck, chin, and jawline are exposed to the outside air like a young boy's.

To put it mildly, I felt fantastic.

Also, since 1000-yen haircut shops don't have shampoo, I went straight to the bath after getting home, and washing and drying my hair, which I consider the most troublesome part of daily life, was super fast.

My guy, you are the best.

I want to have this hairstyle again next time, so what spell should I cast to get it?

I ask the guy, who is probably still smiling and cutting customers' hair at the shop.

I can't think of a spell to recreate this indescribable hairstyle.

Should I take a 360-degree photo of it...?

However, I felt embarrassed when I imagined showing a photo of myself to the stylist next time.

At that moment, one thing occurred to me.

I was thinking that this hairstyle felt familiar, and then it hit me...

It was the same hairstyle as Akane Tsunemori from Psycho-Pass ⇩

I know it's the Akane Tsunemori hair, but for a woman in her late thirties to bring an anime character image to a hair salon and say 'Please make it look like this' is a bit... (← just a bit?)

So, with that said.

If anyone knows the magic words for this hairstyle, please let me know lol

【Update】
In the comments section, Megumi Tiko identified 'this hairstyle' at lightning speed 🥳⇩

The magic spell will be,
"A strong forward-graduated bob like this photo, please🩷"
—that's what I'll go with!👍✨

Megumi Tico-san, thank you so much for taking such a silly article seriously!🥰
