"Sadie's hair has a totally cool girl vibe to it here with this look," Buckett says. "It's a very chic, yet easy look that we created. Even though I only cut her hair once (in the spring), this is that same haircut, just a little more grown out. Her hair still looks great even though it is changing into a different style than what her original cut looked like." Unbeknownst to many, updos can be worn successfully on shorter hair simply by pinning shorter pieces back into place with bobby pins and using the right hair styling products, which typically include strong-hold hair gels and hair serums to tame the hair. Before we dive into the specifics of her new haircut, let’s take a moment to get to know Sadie Sink better.
Is Sadie Sink’s Cut Her Hair for the Final Season of Stranger Things?
Sink's new mullet is a shorter version of the trendy style and ends just above her upper-back. For her version of the look, it also looks like Sink opted for side-swept bangs, giving the new 'do a rocker-chic feel. BAZAAR.com speaks with Tommy Buckett, lead stylist at The Marie Robinson Salon in New York City, to get the details on styling those signature beach waves. Buckett has been working with Sink on everything from press events to editorial shoots since her Stranger Things debut in Season 2. “Her iconic red hair is definitely something that everyone loves,” he says.
Sadie Sink Opens Up About Cutting Her Iconic Long Hair Into a Short Bob
But when she was doing press, such as the 28th Annual Critics Choice Awards, her hair was back to its long state. We’re not sure what was real or fake (or what was a wig/extensions and what was her natural hair) but she seemed to be back to her roots. The hashtag wracked up millions of views on TikTok, after the photos of the hair were spotted online. The more unusual of these spots was a tweet from Croatia Airlines, where the crew took a selfie with the star, in what I believe to be the cockpit, but don't look at me, I haven't been to flight school. I don't read Croatian but it does say 'cockpitu' in the tweet, so seems I identified it correctly.
Sadie Sink Takes the Same Less-Is-More Approach to Beauty As Her Stranger Things Character
“This is all me… I don't have any strict hair-care regimen that I stick to. No kind of color maintenance or anything." In fact, Sink makes an active effort not to do too much with her hair because it's constantly being handled by the professionals she works with. “Rather than putting on a bunch of makeup, I'm pouring in more of my efforts into skin care; I have definitely learned a lot more,” she says of the past year's self-isolation efforts. “I'll do face wash in the morning, then a nice vitamin C serum, and then maybe a face oil. SPF is always the last step.” Our interview time at this point has run out, so I don't have time to ask her for specific.
Sadie Sink’s New Short Hair Has ‘Stranger Things’ Fans Buzzing
It was Tommy who first revealed the snip, weeks after sleuths found the first images, posting it in all its choppy, shaggy, mullet glory. And the hashtag he used #SadieSinkNewHair suggested it hadn't gone unnoticed how much social media had been in a frenzy waiting to see the cut properly. Posted on April 30, Sadie’s long red waves appear to have been snipped off into a shaggy short bob style to her jaw. We were at first squinting to see if they could be tucked into her headphones, but turns out it wasn’t the only appearance with the new style. Sadie was also onstage performing with her band with the new short ’do.
Sadie Sink Chopped Her Signature Long Hair Off Into a Bob
We'll be adding this look to our summer hair inspiration board, ASAP. “You can just kind of throw it around back and forth; it can be styled any way you want, but it really looks good back off your face with a little height and with the sides kicking out,” he says. While it’s true that actors routinely wear wigs for comfort, continuity, and the freedom it grants their natural hair, it’s a little unexpected that Sink would make such a drastic change this late in the game. A time-jump story arc within the show is confirmed, and Sink’s bob looks like it could very well be from the ’90s — a clue on where the show picks up, perhaps? Only time — and more social media detective work — will tell. Over the past few weeks, eagle-eyed fans have spotted the "Stranger Things" star on several occasions sans her signature shoulder-length waves.
The longest hair pieces hit right at the base of her neck, with the rest hovering right above her shoulders. To create texture and add shine throughout Sadie's hair, Buckett says he often likes to use styling products such as Oribe Crème for Style ($42) and follows it up with Illes Formula Finishing Hair Serum ($54). Ahead, we’re taking inspiration from the daring beauty and paying homage to 10 of our favorite hairstyles that the stunning redhead has sported over the past year. Although Sink plays a brooding teen this season (we're biding our time until July 1, when Volume 2 is released)—her IRL style is more lighthearted. Especially her iconic beach waves, which just so happen to be the perfect look for summer.

But it seems the star of The Whale was ready for a bit of change for the summer as she's been spotted with a significantly shorter haircut. Croatia Airlines tweeted a photo of Sink on board the flight from Frankfurt with much shorter waves in layers, styled casually off her face for a chic, effortlessly cool effect. It was the actor's "first visit to the cockpit ever and she was absolutely delighted," read the tweet.

The Story Behind Sadie Sink’s New Rockabilly Mullet
The big reveal of the brand-new look seems to match Sink's laid-back style. While fans have said to have spotted Sink around New York City recently, this is the very first official photo of the actor's short hairstyle, and as it so happens, it comes via a shoutout from an airline. Others in TikTok comments assumed her latest hairstyle is a personal choice that won’t make a difference to Stranger Things at all. “Bro she about to be wearing a wig for season 5,” one said. Whatever the reason, we’re very much here for this new shorter era for Sadie Sink. Sadie Sink’s copper waves have a fanbase all of their own.
When it comes to hair goals, Sadie Sink has undoubtedly been at the top our list ever since we spotted her on Stranger Things. The actress rarely ever shies away from her long copper tresses and usually styles them into the perfect effortless waves. Until now, that is—Sink just made a drastic hair change and debuted a new "shullet."
Sadie spoke about the look while chatting to Refinery29 for her recent beauty collab with Armani, saying ultimately she cut her hair for work—but has found it super freeing. With a background of five years in the hairstyling industry, I have combined my passion for hairstyling with blogging, aiming to assist others on their hairstyle journey. And on that note, when talking beauty with Sadie Sink, I obviously have to ask about her hair. Does she ever enhance it with glosses or color-depositing conditioner?
Wrap them around a large barrel curling iron to create a slight wave with dimension. Finally, run a small amount of a frizz-reducing oil or serum through the ends to prevent the hair from looking frizzy and dull. And always amplifying Sink's fashion choices has been her ginger waterfall mane, which is often styled to bring attention to its glossy colour and long lengths. Sink was first seen with the new cut when she performed with some friends at the Bowery Electric in New York on April 27. Then Croatia Airlines posted a pic of the actor flying with them while sporting her new bob a few days later on April 30.
