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 professionals in our new collection, Simply One Factor. After all, journalists that we’re, we’re additionally taking the chance to ask concerning 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 crimson carpet (the Vainness Truthful Oscar Celebration). Only a few weeks earlier than he joins her on the Brief n’ Candy tour, he took a while to reply the wonder 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 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 along with her on Lady Meets World, does—so it was only a new look sooner or later 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 slightly 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 proper method to simply preserve it smooth and body your face and improve the cheekbones.
Sabrina has shorter curtain bangs, so additionally they provide quite a lot of flexibility—we will cut up them within the center or barely off to the aspect. I like to recommend any person who’s newer to bangs go longer, after which you may regularly go shorter if you need. 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 curler in [and turn it forward] to provide her bangs extra of that fluffy bend. We prefer it to have slightly little bit of a curl beneath, which makes the bangs extra bouncy and 60s-inspired.
