Celebrity hair stylist, Dimitris Giannetos is behind Spanish A-lister Penelope Cruz‘s newest look — a tousled, effortlessly cool bob he’s calling the “Boyfriend Bob,” and honestly, it might be the chicest thing we’ve seen all season.
“I wanted to keep Penelope’s hair effortless and relaxed,” Giannetos explains. “Inspired by the way your hair looks in the morning after you wake up at your boyfriend’s house — tousled and flipped to the side without using a brush!”
All About the Bob
Think feathery, blunt, and square – with or without bangs. The cut itself is secondary to the vibe: undone, lived-in, and like you absolutely did not try hard.
How To Get the Look
The key is keeping things relaxed without veering into frizzy territory. Giannetos reaches for the L’Oreal Paris Everpure Iron Sleek Coat to tame frizz, finishing with a spritz of L’Oréal Paris Elnett Hairspray to hold the shape without making it stiff.
Already have layers and not ready to commit to the full chop? Giannetos suggest tape-in extensions to fake the length and weight of a true boyfriend bob – no scissors required.
And for the final, completely essential touch: a spray of the Parfums de Marly Valaya Hair Perfume. As Giannetos puts it, “It will always make your boyfriend miss you.”
The “Boyfriend Bob” is proof that the most effortless looks are actually the most intentional — and sometimes, the best hair day starts the morning after.
