How does somebody’s magnificence “factor” grow to be their magnificence “factor”? That’s the query we’re posing to celebrities and their magnificence professionals in our new sequence, Just One Thing. 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 Self-importance Truthful Oscar Occasion). Only a few weeks earlier than he joins her on the Quick n’ Candy tour, he took a while to reply the sweetness query that is been on our minds all summer season: How do Sabrina’s bangs at all times 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 Lady 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 together with her on Lady Meets World, does—so it was only a new look someday 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 feel curtain bangs work so effectively for her as a result of they actually soften her options. They’re shorter within the heart and get just a little longer as you attain the surface 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 feel it simply is the proper solution to simply preserve it smooth and body your face and improve the cheekbones.
Sabrina has shorter curtain bangs, so in addition they provide lots of flexibility—we are able to cut up them within the center or barely off to the aspect. I like to recommend any individual who’s newer to bangs go longer, after which you may progressively go shorter if you would like. However I at all times say the shortest piece within the heart must be proper on the bridge of your nostril after which angle [the rest] outward.
To type Sabrina’s bangs, I blow dry with a spherical brush or use a Dyson Airwrap with the spherical brush attachment. We typically put a Velcro roller in [and turn it forward] to present her bangs extra of that fluffy bend. We prefer it to have just a little little bit of a curl beneath, which makes the bangs extra bouncy and 60s-inspired.
