What to ask at the salon to get Leslie Bibb’s bob
If you’re looking for “White Lotus” looks to recreate for your next vacation, Leslie Bibb’s poolside bob is an excellent place to start. The first step is knowing what to ask for. As Jennifer Korab advises, the success of this ‘do lies in its restraint. At the salon, she suggests asking for a chin-length — or just slightly longer — bob with soft, textured ends. “It should feel light and airy, not heavy or blunt,” she explains. Adding internal layers is what gives the edge its effortless movement, with the paradoxical suggestion you haven’t fussed over it at all.
Of course, not fussing is an art form in itself. When it comes to styling, Korab recommends doing as little as possible: “Letting your hair air dry is ideal, but if you need a little help, use a diffuser with a lightweight mousse or sea salt spray.” For those with straight hair, she adds just a slight bend (not a full wave) with a flat iron or curling wand.
Of course, even an unfussy cut requires upkeep. Korab advises “trims every six to eight weeks to keep the shape clean.” And whilst the crop itself may seem undemanding, the health of the hair is non-negotiable. “Because the style is so simple, shiny, healthy hair makes a big difference,” she cautions. The stylist insists on heat protection and finishing with a light oil or gloss spray to maintain that sun-kissed sheen. That way, you’ll have a bob that travels well, no passport required.
