Sabrina Carpenter's bangs are the best in the biz, so naturally, a lot of people want them for themselves.
The musician and actor's blonde bangs are a signature element of her look at this point; she's been rocking some variation of the full curtain bang for a few years — including at the 2022 Teen Vogue Summit — but they're definitely at their peak right now. They're lush, thick, and perfectly curled under no matter how she's wearing her hair. Oh, and now they're taking over TikTok.
"Sabrina Carpenter bangs" have become a major trend on the video platform, with users either considering chopping their own bangs in a Carpenter-inspired style or styling their fringe to look like hers.
Carpenter's bangs are pretty special: long enough to push to either side of her face and gently brush her cheekbone, but not too long; a little Swingin' '60s, but not dated; and super, super flirty, fluffy, and tousled just so. They look great with her hair down and even cuter with a ponytail. In short, they're perfect.
Curtain bangs continue their trend cycle domination; we named them as one of the biggest hair trends for 2024, and Carpenter's fringe is the perfect example, especially when paired with her enviable blowout. (Seriously, just search "Sabrina Carpenter bangs" on TikTok, and you'll see exactly what we mean. All the bang inspo you could ever ask for is right on your FYP.)

Carpenter's hairstylist Scott King told Fashionista all the secrets to cutting and styling the singer's bangs. When cutting, "make sure the shortest piece is right in the middle, just above the bridge of your nose — about where the bottom of your eyebrow is — and that it gradually gets longer on each side to about the top of the cheekbones."
To style, you'll need a Velcro roller; it's an essential tool to get that plump, "fluffy" look. "We blow-dry the bangs first side-to-side with a medium-sized round brush," King shared. "After it's dry and still warm, we take a medium-sized Velcro roller, roll it toward the face, and secure it while styling the rest of the hair for about 10 minutes."
Unless you're comfortable with cutting your own hair, it's probably a good idea to have a pro do the initial cut to make sure the bangs are cut like Carpenter's, because bangs can go badly very quickly if you're not careful! Booking a salon appointment in 3, 2, 1…
