Sabrina Carpenter has been a rising star for quite some time now; along with gaining recognition for her music, the singer has also been receiving attention for her hair – notably, her trademark bouncy blonde blow-dry. Here, Zoey Taylor from CurlsQueen, for Socially Powerful, shares how you can help your clients achieve the look in the salon...
How To Recreate Sabrina Carpenter’s Hair on your Clients
One of the key features of Sabrina Carpenter’s hair is face framing layers to help create movement – the real trick is to retain some weight in the hair while making sure that its layers blend flawlessly into each other for airiness and bounce. I would recommend making the ends a little bit feathery rather than blunt to maintain that soft and romantic effect. Opting for the warm blonde with some highlights will give the dimension and radiance that Sabrina is known (and adored) for.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Signature Fringe
Sabrina Carpenter’s fringe is a versatile curtain bang that can be styled in many ways, so I would suggest cutting a longer curtain fringe that just skims your client’s eyebrows and blends softly into the rest of their layers. However, it’s also important to take into account your client’s face shape; the fringe should frame their cheekbones when parted or just graze their eyes a little when styled forward. The best thing about curtain bangs is that they grow out well, so it's a great low-maintenance style for anyone trying a fringe for the first time.
How Can Clients Style Their Hair at Home?
Creating Sabrina Carpenter’s signature bouncy blow-out at home takes a little technique but is achievable. Advise your clients to start with a volumising shampoo and conditioner to prep the hair, followed by a heat protectant so their hair (and colour) doesn’t get damaged.
Round brushes are great for creating this kind of style: the trick is to lift the roots while drying and roll the brush outward to achieve that airy bounce. Velcro rollers can also be used to set the hair while it cools to lock in the bounce.
For that extra bit of hold and texture, they can finish with lightweight texturising spray and flexible-hold hairspray to maintain everything in place without weighing it down. The best thing about this hairstyle is it's so versatile because it can support multiple different updos or just be worn beautifully down for a soft, flowing effect.
