Sabrina Carpenter’s Hair Routine: How to Get Her Look

Sabrina Carpenter is known for more than her chart-topping songs and acting credits. Her iconic blonde hair and bouncy bangs are one of the most sought-after hair styles, and Redken is here to help you recreate the Sabrina Carpenter look.

This year, Sabrina became Redken’s first ever Global Ambassador. She’s been a longtime fan of Redken, and her colourist Laurie Heaps attributes Sabrina’s signature blonde locks exclusively to Redken’s Shades EQ – the #1 demi-permanent hair gloss treatment in the world. Her longtime hairstylist Scott King also credits Redken for her famous bangs.

Together, we’ve compiled some of Sabrina Carpenter’s haircare products, treatments and styling secrets to keep your hair looking – and feeling – its best.

Sabrina Carpenter’s hair care routine for stronger hair

A cross between the locks of a modern-day pin-up model and Brigitte Bardot, Sabrina Carpenter’s hair has inspired a new generation of curtain bangs.

Voluminous, glossy waves with natural body are the basis of Sabrina’s hair – and beautiful hair starts with your haircare routine.

Sabrina’s strong, healthy hair is no coincidence, and she swears by the Acidic Bonding Concentrate collection. The ABC line was created as an all-in-one solution to intensely condition, repair, and protect every hair type and texture. The acidic formula is designed to strengthen damaged hair by reinforcing weakened hair bonds and recalibrating your hair’s natural pH. Below are some of Sabrina Carpenter’s blonde hair must-haves:

Acidic Bonding Concentrate Ph-Balancing Shampoo – this repairing, pH-balancing shampoo helps reduce hair breakage, minimise split ends and smooth the hair cuticles. Enjoy added colour-protection and intense conditioning for all hair types and textures.
Acidic Bonding Concentrate Sulfate-Free Conditioner – as Redken’s most concentrated all-in-one conditioner for damaged hair repair, this formula helps fortify weakened hair bonds, prevent colour from fading, and promote smoother, softer strands – the ultimate Sabrina Carpenter hair goals!
Acidic Bonding Concentrate 5-Min Liquid Mask – you can use this sulfate-free mask once per week in place of your conditioner to deeply hydrate and strengthen dry, damaged, colour-treated strands. Like Sabrina, you’re probably a busy woman, so you only need to leave the mask on for five minutes to to enjoy its nourishing, detangling benefits.

This pre-styling routine will leave your hair smoother and healthier, allowing you to achieve Sabrina’s glossy shine and perfectly bouncy bangs.

Get a better bang with Sabrina Carpenter: 5 styling tips

While Acidic Bonding Concentrate helps create a strong foundation for Sabrina Carpenter’s bangs and soft, layered waves, styling is key to achieving her look.

Along with celebrity colourist and Redken Ambassador Laurie Heaps, we’ve curated a short n’ sweet Sabrina Carpenter hair styling routine using some of her most beloved Redken products. From pre-treatment hydration to heat protection and big volume, discover five essential styling tips on how to do Sabrina Carpenter hair.

1. Start with a treatment

You might already use some kind of treatment in your hair care routine – but have you ever tried this one? The Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Conditoner treatment is perfect for use on damp hair to strengthen and protect it from heat damage up to 450 degrees. Better still, this product leaves hair feeling softer and smoother: boosting shine and minimising frizz.

Use ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE LEAVE-IN TREATMENT on damp hair to strengthen and protect it from heat damage while adding shine and softness.

2. Get volume at the root

Sabrina Carpenter’s hair is all about volume and body, so this is a key styling step before you apply any heat. Enter: Redken’s Root Lifter Volumizing Spray.

This medium-control foam enhances volume and lift at the crown to add body to your luscious mane. It’s also formulated with wheat protein and vitamin E to ensure your hair stays soft and shiny with flexible movement. After towel-drying your hair, apply the spray to your roots section by section, lifting the hair as you move through each piece.

Use ROOT LIFTER VOLUMIZING SPRAY. Apply spray to the roots before blow-drying. This product enhances volume and lift at the crown, adding body.

3. Blow-dry for smooth, bouncy layers

Blow-drying is an essential step to increase fullness and smooth the hair. You can blow-dry with a round brush using Quick Blowout – our lightweight primer spray with heat protection. Start by sectioning the hair, then use a large round brush to create volume and smooth out the layers. When it comes to Sabrina Carpenter’s bangs, it’s all in the blowout – so focus on lifting the bangs for extra bounce.

Scott King favours the Dyson Airwrap with the round brush attachment to blow Sabrina Carpenter’s bangs forward, but you can also use a standard hair dryer and round brush to achieve the same result. Once you’ve blow-dried to your liking, set your bangs with a medium-sized velcro roller – rolling under the hair. You can pin this roller and move onto styling the rest of your hair.

Bangs maintenance pro-tip from Laurie Heaps: “I trim Sabrina's bangs every three to four weeks. This ensures they stay at the perfect length.”

Blow-Dry with a Round Brush, using QUICK BLOWOUT. Start with a large round brush to create volume and smooth out the layers. Focus on lifting the bangs for extra bounce.

4. Curl your mid-lengths to ends

A big part of the signature Sabrina Carpenter look are loose, voluminous curls from the mid-lengths to the ends of her hair – a modern-day reimagining of old Hollywood waves.

To recreate these subtle waves yourself, use a one-inch curling iron on the mid-lengths to ends. When you reach the inner sections close to the face, be sure to curl inwards to achieve Sabrina’s signature face-framing S-waves. Don’t forget to spritz your hair with Redken’s Thermal Spray High Hold to protect from heat damage and help you maintain your style throughout the day.

For subtle waves, use a 1-inch curling iron on the mid-lengths to ends. Use THERMAL SPRAY to protect from heat damage and helps maintain your style throughout the day.

5. Lock in your look

If you’ve ever seen Sabrina perform live or watched snippets of her shows on your feed, one thing you’ll notice is that her hair miraculously stays in place – without looking stiff.

To maintain your hair’s natural movement and lock your end style in place, mist your hair with Shine Flash Glass Like Shine Spray. This flexible, lightweight hairspray provides hold without crunch, keeping the hair soft, touchable, and full of movement. This glossy, glass-like shine is the perfect final touch for your Sabrina Carpenter hair-inspired look.

Finish the look with BRUSHABLE HAIRSPRAY. This flexible, lightweight hairspray provides hold without stiffness, keeping the hair soft, touchable, and full of movement.
