If Sabrina Carpenter’s curls have you begging her glam squad to please, please, please spill their secrets, you’re in luck.
Having worked with the pop phenom for over eight years, hairstylist Laurie Heaps is a gold mine of insights on Carpenter’s golden tresses — from her tousled Eras Tour-opener ‘dos to her chic Met Gala waves.
“Sabrina’s approach to hair now reflects a sense of confidence and sophistication, making each style feel intentional, timeless, and uniquely her,” the mane maestro and Redken ambassador tells Page Six Style.
“Her choice of a rich, gorgeous blond has been a defining part of her look, adding depth and brightness that really complements her personality.”
Below, Heaps spills her short n’ sweet guide to re-creating the superstar’s signature looks using budget-friendly products.
When crafting Carpenter’s signature ‘do for any occasion, it starts with those iconic curtain bangs.
To add “volume and shape,” Heaps tells us she reaches for tools like the “perfect” Eleven Australia Medium Round Brush ($41).
When prepping Carpenter’s hair for performances, Heaps swears by Redken Full Volume Mousse ($27) to “add volume and ensure a strong hold” and Thermal Spray High Hold ($27) “to protect against heat styling while locking in the shape.”
Adds the hairstylist, “The focus on durability and hold since her hair needs to withstand movement, heat, and lighting.”
For red carpet looks like the chart-topper’s ethereal Met Gala moment, the focus “shifts to creating a flawless finish and shine,” says Heaps.
Her arsenal includes uses “flexible products” like Redken Brushable Hairspray ($27) “so her hair has a natural movement and can be reworked if needed.”
For color-treated hair like Carpenter’s, Heaps’ go-tos also include Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo and Conditioner ($66) and the same line’s 5-Minute Liquid Mask ($38) to provide “deep conditioning and bond repair for added softness and shine.”
“The most challenging look to execute was her blonde for the Met Gala,” she says. “Achieving that icy blond tone while maintaining the hair’s health required precise planning and the right products to keep her hair strong and vibrant.”
