Sadie Sink chose the perfect time for a makeover, and we’re not just talking about the start of the new year. The actor is saying goodbye to Max Mayfield, the character she played for eight years of her young life on Stranger Things, and hello to adulthood and a return to her roots on the stage.
So of course, she cut bangs! While getting bangs might seem a little trivial, it also might be just what it takes to adjust to those big changes in life—the ones that aren’t so clear to the naked eye. Sink introduced her new look on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, showing off a softer and more modern version of the curtain bangs trend that has dominated the past few years.

Sadie Sink Is Playing the Long Game
There are many sides to Sadie Sink, and she’s gotten really good at keeping most of them private. But now, as Stranger Things comes to a close and the actor is on the verge of new heights of fame, she’s opening up about what comes next.
The fringe is parted in the middle, falling naturally on both sides of her face without creating blunt or heavy lines. The strands just brush her brows in the center and gradually lengthen towards the sides to blend in with the rest of her hair. Rather than creating a harsh line, the fresh fringe moves and breathes, complementing her features instead of dominating them.

Sink’s stylist, Tommy Buckett, shared the result on his Instagram profile, allowing a closer look at his work. The full cut is completed with soft layers that are subtly parted in the front to bring more movement. This styling move also creates continuity with the fringe and avoids sharp contrasts when looking at the cut as a whole.
This is an ideal choice for those looking for a visible change, but with that effortless casualness that never goes out of style. And it also fits perfectly for the life of an actress who is gradually saying goodbye to the character that catapulted her to fame and preparing to open a new chapter of which she is already writing the first lines.
