What is the Hydro Bob?
Spotted on celebs like J-Lo, this look is all about the combination of cut and style. “The hydro bob is a jawline-straight cut styled to look wet,” explains celebrity hairstylist Danielle Priano. “If you’re asking someone to style this look, I would ask for a bob gelled tight to the head to give an androgynous, sharp look.”
“A lot of people are liking this wet/sleek look since it adds definition and shape to the face,” adds Moroccanoil global celebrity ambassador, Dimitris Giannetos. “I recently did an amazing wet shag look on Nicole Scherzinger that I absolutely love!”
Styling the Look
The ultimate goal of this look can be summarized in one word: sleek. “A hydrobob is a way to style a bob sleeker,” says expert hairstylist and Balmain Hair Ambassador, Eduardo Ponce. “That wet effect adds drama.”
But the look can vary depending on your hair type, so it helps to bring some inspiration photos along to any styling appointment. From short and straight to a wet, curly lob, you can easily make the hydro bob fit your style. “You can just request your typical bob and then for styling you can ask for a wet look,” Giannetos says. “I recommend bringing inspo pics since this style can be done in so many ways!”
You’ll also need the right combination of products to seal that wet look in.
