Not all lipids are saturated. Unsaturated lipids come in liquid form and are not from animals. Saturated lipids are in solid form and do usually come from organisms other than plants such as animals.
Unsaturation occurs in the middle of lipids. The tail ends are always saturated and as such hydrophobic - much better known as non-polar or non-charged, which is why they do not 'like' water.
The meaning of hydrophobic is which rejects water, which cannot be wetted; solids are hydrophobic not liquids.

These molecules are highly hydrophobic because the long chains of fatty acids esterified to a glycerol molecule. They are the most important lipids in plasma membrane that form the so-called lipid bilayer. When the fatty acids present in triacylglycerols are saturated, they become a strong water repelent to the cell. When these fatty acids have one or more unsaturated bonds, they turn to be more akin or water tolerant. While the unsaturated bonds are more present in fatty acids, the more water tolerant they will be.

The lipids would flip and the heads become hydrophobic and the tails hydrophilic

Cholesterol has many hydrophobic side chains and a single hydrophilic side chain. Because it contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, it is amphipathic.yes cholesterol Hydrophobic , choestol not soluble in water
hydrophobic
Hydrophobic means that the molecule is repelled by water. You can tell if a molecule is hydrophobic by the way the atoms are arranged.
Nonpolar means hydrophobic.
All Lipids are hydrophobic: that's the one property they have in common. This group of molecules includes fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, steroids and cholesterol.
