What Hair Products Does Sabrina Carpenter Use? The Redken Behind the Look
By Milajne, Founder & President of Zennkai
That high-shine, bouncy, healthy-looking hair Sabrina Carpenter is known for isn’t an accident — and it isn’t a mystery either. Sabrina is a Redken brand ambassador, so the look is built on Redken. If you’ve searched her name alongside Kérastase, that’s a common mix-up worth clearing up: her partnership is with Redken. Here’s what actually creates that glossy finish, and how to get it at home — from an authorized Redken retailer who can tell you how to use each piece properly.
The look: Healthy, glass-like shine with movement
Her signature is shine that reads as *health*, not grease — hair that catches the light, stays bouncy, and never looks weighed down. That finish comes from two things working together: a strong, sealed cuticle (so light reflects evenly) and enough moisture and bond integrity underneath that the hair moves. Redken’s Acidic ranges are built around exactly that — acidic pH to seal the cuticle for shine, plus bonding care for strength. Two heroes do most of the work.
THE STRENGTH BASE — Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate
Shine starts with healthy hair, and healthy hair holds its bonds. Acidic Bonding Concentrate is Redken’s concentrated bond-repair line: its Bonding Care Complex + Citric Acid works at the cuticle to capture metal ions and reinforce the weakened bonds that colour, heat, and even hard water break down — rebuilding strength so hair looks and moves healthier. Redken measures it as combating “a year of visible damage in one use” and 56% less breakage as a system. It’s sulfate-free and safe for colour. This is the base coat of the whole look.
THE GLASS-SHINE FINISH — Redken Acidic Color Gloss (Glass)
For the actual mirror shine, this is the one. Redken’s Acidic Color Gloss (the “glass” range) uses Citric Acid + Apricot Oil in a pH-balanced formula that seals the cuticle flat, so hair reflects light like glass — Redken measures +76% shine and up to three days of that glossy finish after one treatment. It’s designed for colour-treated hair but works on any hair that’s gone dull. If Sabrina’s finish is the goal, this is what delivers it.
ROUNDING OUT THE ROUTINE
Two more Redken pieces complete the look, depending on your hair: All Soft for softness and manageability on dry, brittle hair, and One United — a multi-benefit leave-in that adds heat protection and shine in one step before styling.
How to get the look at home
• Wash with Acidic Bonding Concentrate to rebuild strength and prep a healthy cuticle.
• Treat weekly with Acidic Color Gloss for the glass-shine layer.
• Protect before heat with a leave-in (One United), then blow-dry smooth with a round brush for that bounce.
• Finish with a light shine oil on mid-lengths and ends — never the roots.
The bottom line
Sabrina Carpenter’s glossy hair is a Redken look, and it’s recreatable: strength first, glass-shine second, protection before heat. You don’t need her stylist — you need the right two or three products and a professional to point you to them.

Prefer a Kérastase routine? Here’s the equivalent
Because so many people search Sabrina’s name alongside Kérastase, it’s worth being clear: she partners with Redken, not Kérastase. But if Kérastase is your line, our stylists reach for Gloss Absolu or Chroma Absolu to create the same glass-like, high-shine finish on colour-treated hair. It’s our professional recommendation for the look — not a product Sabrina uses.

Layer strength and shine: wash with Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate to rebuild bonds, use Acidic Color Gloss weekly for glass-like shine, protect with a leave-in before heat, and blow-dry smooth for bounce.
