Sabrina Carpenter bangs
The trend
But first, we have to talk about why “Sabrina Carpenter bangs” has become so iconic. Just a reason – they strike the perfect balance between timeless and modern. While they might seem like “just curtain bangs,” there’s an art to making them look effortless and flattering.
The trend
The subtle nod to the 60s comes from their length, which grazes her cheekbones just enough to give that vintage, sultry vibe. But they’re not so long that they feel unkempt or like she’s in the awkward “growing-out” phase. When paired with her voluminous waves and perfectly cut layers, the entire look creates a sense of sophistication that feels polished yet approachable.
This hairstyle also has versatility—it frames the face beautifully and works well with different outfits or makeup styles. Do you think this style like these might work for you or someone you know? 😊

How to make it
Cutting the Curtain Bangs:
Start by sectioning the bangs into a “pie-shaped” parting, using the center part as your guide. Ensure that the bangs are distinct from the longer layers to maintain a clean, stylish look. Blending them too much can lead to a messy or shaggy appearance. For the most flattering result, keep the hair behind the bangs at chin length.

Preparing the Bangs for Styling:
If working with dry hair, dampen any front sections you wish to curl. Use a blow-dryer to roughly dry them until they’re about 80% dry. This preps the hair for better control while styling.
Apply a bit of mousse to the front sections. This adds volume, shine, bounce, and helps the style last longer.
Styling the Bangs:
Styling
Using a round brush, blow-dry the bangs inward at the center and sweep them left and right to create the desired voluminous shape. Focus on lifting the roots slightly for added height.
To refine the shape, use a flat iron to curl the center pieces inward gently.
Roll the styled bangs into a hair roller and spray with a light mist of hair spray for hold. Let them set in the roller to lock in the shape.
For Extra Hold: Use a large round-barrel curling iron. Begin at the roots, curling the section forward to enhance the contour.
