Go ahead, save the photo to your inspiration board. Maybe you’ll text your stylist. Maybe you’ll just admire it from afar, like we often do with celebrities’ lives. But know this: Sabrina Carpenter went dark, and she looks like she’s been this way forever. It’s proof that change—even a hair color change—can feel both terrifying and completely right.
And if you do decide to go brunette? Embrace the regrowth. Buy a good conditioner. And for the love of everything, don’t do it yourself at 2 AM with box dye from the gas station. Learn from our mistakes, not Sabrina’s—because she made it look easy. But then again, she always does.
