This $27 Hairspray Retains Sabrina Carpenter’s Bangs Perpetually Bouncy

How does somebody’s magnificence “factor” develop into their magnificence “factor”? That’s the query we’re posing to celebrities and their magnificence execs in our new collection, Simply One Factor. After all, journalists that we’re, we’re additionally taking the chance to ask in regards to the one product that helps preserve their factor… thing-ing.

This time round, we caught up with hairstylist Scott King, who has tended to Sabrina Carpenter‘s famously bouncy hair on-stage (Coachella), on-screen (her just-dropped “Style” music video), and on the purple carpet (the Vainness Truthful Oscar Social gathering). Just some weeks earlier than he joins her on the Quick n’ Candy tour, he took a while to reply the wonder query that is been on our minds all summer time: How do Sabrina’s bangs all the time look so darn good?

The primary time I labored with Sabrina was 9 years in the past; it was for a photoshoot for an internet journal. I bear in mind it was the day earlier than her candy 16. It’s loopy to have seen her develop from that to the place she is now.

Again then, her hair was lengthy, thick, very beachy… It was just like [the vibe of] her character on the time on Woman Meets World. Bangs got here into the image solely three or 4 years in the past for the Emails I Cannot Ship album. I do not [cut] her bangs—her colorist and the one who cuts her hair, Laurie Heaps, who labored along with her on Woman Meets World, does—so it was only a new look at some point after I noticed her. I really feel just like the bangs undoubtedly began a brand new period for Sabrina and a brand new type of self-confidence got here out.

I believe curtain bangs work so properly for her as a result of they actually soften her options. They’re shorter within the heart and get a bit of longer as you attain the skin of her face which opens her face up, like a curtain. She’s additionally a woman who, when she places her hair up, likes to have items down, and I believe it simply is the proper option to simply preserve it tender and body your face and improve the cheekbones.

Sabrina has shorter curtain bangs, so in addition they supply loads of flexibility—we are able to break up them within the center or barely off to the aspect. I like to recommend someone who’s newer to bangs go longer, after which you’ll be able to step by step go shorter if you would like. However I all the time say the shortest piece within the heart needs to be proper on the bridge of your nostril after which angle [the rest] outward.

To model Sabrina’s bangs, I blow dry with a spherical brush or use a Dyson Airwrap with the spherical brush attachment. We generally put a Velcro curler in [and turn it forward] to present her bangs extra of that fluffy bend. We prefer it to have a bit of little bit of a curl below, which makes the bangs extra bouncy and 60s-inspired.
