Sabrina Carpenter’s rooty, boingy butterfly cut in her “Manchild” video is theeee moment for Summer 2025.
Though the pop idol has served more polished versions of her signature mane lately, it’s the undone, show-stealing shag from the campy new video that has everyone reaching for their curling wands and going a few extra days in between color appointments.
Her longtime colorist and Redken ambassador, Laurie Heaps, shared the step-by-step below.
Sabrina’s Manchild Hair
- I used Redken Flash Lift with Bonder Inside—my go-to for lift. It gives me total control without damaging the hair. I used 10 volume at the back and around the hairline, then bumped it up to 20 volume on top and sides.
- I removed foils as they were ready with a damp towel, letting the rest keep processing.
- After shampooing, I glossed her roots with Redken’s new Shades EQ Pearl Vinyl Blondes in 8NV to add that soft, grown-in vibe.
- Then we gave her a little trim, added face-framing layers, and brought the bangs back — with a modern, disconnected feel.
