How does somebody’s magnificence “factor” turn out to be their magnificence “factor”? That’s the query we’re posing to celebrities and their magnificence execs in our new collection, Just One Thing. In fact, journalists that we’re, we’re additionally taking the chance to ask in regards to the one product that helps maintain 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 Honest Oscar Celebration). Only a few weeks earlier than he joins her on the Brief 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 a web-based journal. I keep 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 much 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 that cuts her hair, Laurie Heaps, who labored along with her on Woman Meets World, does—so it was only a new look someday once I noticed her. I really feel just like the bangs positively began a brand new period for Sabrina and a brand new type of self-confidence got here out.
I believe curtain bangs work so nicely for her as a result of they actually soften her options. They’re shorter within the middle and get a bit of 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 believe it simply is the right technique to simply maintain it smooth and body your face and improve the cheekbones.
Sabrina has shorter curtain bangs, so additionally they provide a whole lot of flexibility—we will break up them within the center or barely off to the facet. I like to recommend anyone who’s newer to bangs go longer, after which you’ll be able to steadily go shorter if you need. However I at all times say the shortest piece within the middle ought to be proper on the bridge of your nostril after which angle [the rest] outward.
To fashion 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 provide 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.
