Around 1999-2000 it I noticed a lot of young actresses getting some version of this shaggy do. Believe it was a short-lived fad. I even had a hairdresser recommend it to me because I had thin, fine hair about that length. I said no.

Looks like a modified (shorter) Rachel. I think Christina Aguilera had her hair cut like that, for a while.

I’ve no idea but this was the era I grew up in. I think they started with the “Rachel” in the mid 90s and ended up here.
I think it died with Kate Gosselin.

It says “Roller Boogie” to me. IIRC, boys on skateboards had this cut in the 1970s.

Yes. The colorful dyes are a marker for Y2K era.

I'll welcome that hairstyle over today's hideous long MAGA extensions any time.

As a frau, this is simply a “ short shag.” At one point I had the Linda Evan’s dynasty cut - all one length to the shoulder and modified long wing pieces feathered back, along with longish bangs .
That wasn’t the most scarey.
A long shag often bordered on the Christmas tree head — shortish layers on top , long hair feathered back and bangs —- it really was borderline mullet as well

I was a stylist through that time. People called it a flippy bob, or just wanted flippy hair. I never knew it to have any particular name.

In retrospect, I think this was a style influenced by Meg Ryan, as another poster said. People forget, but somehow this hairstyle was a big thing, at the time.

The “Flo”?? It reminds me of the ‘do that Florence Henderson grew out around that time, after she reprised her early ‘70s “Brady Bunch” shag hairstyle for about 14 seconds around 1999.

One. of my favorite haircuts ever. I brought in my son's Final Fantasy game and said 'give me that haircut'. Every once in a while I throw some layers in my long bob and flip my ends. I use spray wax to get the ends a bit spiky.
