We're currently besotted with Sabrina Carpenter, I mean she's the girl of the moment! But more specifically with her hair. Like how does she keep it so healthy, shiny and blonde all at once?
Anyone who's trashed their hair with dye and bleach will know keeping it in good condition is no easy task, but the secret for Sabrina is probably in using Redken – as the international superstar was announced as the brand's first-ever Global Ambassador.
Luckily for you, this Amazon Prime Day this July, the products that she swears by for keeping her hair in tip-top condition have been reduced in price, with a saving of up to 33%.
Yes both the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo and Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment have been marked down in the sales event – and you only have until Friday to snap up a bargain or two.
By using the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo (now £17.93 – save 18%), you can transform a year's worth of visible damage in just one use, by using the award-winning Acidic Bonding Concentrate range – starting with the shampoo, a concentrated all-in-one formula suitable for all hair types and textures.
The ultra-rich, luxurious shampoo delivers intense conditioning, reduces breakage, and protects against colour fade too.
Featuring Citric Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid in Redken's concentrated bonding care complex, this helps protect weak bonds and enhances hair strength and resilience after bleaching or colouring services.
Specifically formulated with an acidic pH, this pH-balancing shampoo helps defend against the potential negative effects of hair colouring, lightening, and heat styling. The result? Hair that looks and feels healthy, a la Miss Carpenter.
The equally impressive Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment (now £17.80 – save 33%), offers heat protection up to 230 degrees, smooths and tames frizz, adds shine, and provides intense conditioning to help reduce hair breakage.
Now we know how and why her hair looks so good, we're going to add into our virtual basket.
As Sabrina embarked on her first haircare partnership with Redken, she said: 'Redken has something for everyone. It's been the secret to keeping my hair looking its best and I can't wait to share what we've been working on together.' More Trending
This collaboration has been a long time coming, as Sabrina has been a devoted fan of Redken throughout her rise to fame. She attributes her signature blonde hair to Redken's Shades EQ, a demi-permanent hair gloss loved by top colourists.
Her iconic blonde bangs and bouncy style, crafted by her hairstylist Scott King and colourist Laurie Heaps, have captivated fans worldwide.

I'm a single mum on benefits — this is exactly what I spend my money on
Welcome back to Me and My Money, Metro's series taking a look at the UK's spending and saving habits. This week we meet Danielle Taylor*, 26, who is a single mother to a 4-year-old son who has a rare genetic condition that means he needs round-the-clock support. Danielle, who lives in Greater Manchester, hopes to be able to work when her son starts school full-time from September. Here, she explains how she manages without being able to earn an income. Income: Universal credit: £1,029 Disability benefit: £740 Total: £1,769 Main monthly outgoings: Council tax: £13 (discounted rate) Gas and electric: £250 Water: £70 Internet: £44 Food: £200 Transport (taxis): £200 – £250 Driving lessons: £149.50 (2 x 2 hour lessons) Loan: £50 Total: £976.50 – £1,026.50 (Rent of £433 is covered by the council) My son, Clayton, was born with a rare genetic condition that means he may never walk or talk. He also can't eat and had a feeding tube fitted last month. I'm a single parent with very little support, although I do get help from my family nearby and charities when I can. I've tried to apply for respite care, to give me a break, but I've been told Clayton's needs aren't high enough, although I think it's more because of his young age. Clayton is currently at pre-school, attending three hours a day term time. This will go up to standard school six-hour days when he starts reception at the same school in September. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video I'm counting down the days, to be honest, because I'm hoping the longer days will give me a better chance at finding work – although my employer would have to be flexible and understanding of my situation. Because of Clayton's condition, he needs 24/7 care all the time and he has various hospital appointments. I don't mind what kind of work I do. When I was younger I used to want to work with children with disabilities, helping them with sports and activities. But now I have a child with a disability myself, I want a break from caring for other people. Because I don't earn an income from work, I rely on benefits. I get Universal Credit of just over £1,000 a month and Clayton gets £740 through the Disability Living Allowance (DLA). This takes my total monthly income to £1,769, which typically pays the bills on my two-bedroom bungalow with not much to spare. Our rent of £432 a month is covered by the local authority and paid directly to the landlord. My energy bill is around £250 a month, water £70 and I spend around £150 to £200 a month on food. I eat a lot of convenience food because Clayton is nil by mouth so I tend to make it easy for myself, but I'm aware I could spend less by doing more food prep. Clayton has prescribed milk and water through his feeding tube. We find the money ok to manage on – it covers the bills and extras that Clayton wants or needs. He likes being outdoors, swimming and bubbles. We have a taxi provided by the council to take him to school and back, but otherwise transport costs can be high for me as I tend to take taxis after having a bad experience on a crowded bus when there wasn't enough space for Clayton's adapted pushchair. I'm currently having driving lessons so that I'll be able to drive us around. The lessons cost £345 for a block of 10 and I have a two-hour lesson every fortnight. If I need to make any large purchases, I have the option to borrow the money. I'm signed up to Creditspring, a regulated responsible lender that doesn't charge interest on its loans. I pay £10 a month to borrow up to £300 twice a year. I recently borrowed £250 to buy Clayton an adapted ball pit and I'm currently paying the loan back at £50 a month. Clayton loves sensory experiences so it's the best purchase I've got for him. He bangs his head a lot and this one has extra padding so it reduces the risk of him hurting himself. Clayton's dad has never met Clayton since the day he was born. He just didn't want to have kids. He was in the army and was worried he would be tied down. The relationship didn't work out and I went it alone. He does not give any financial support and I've not been able to get anywhere legally. More Trending When Clayton was little, he needed blood testing from his father to try to establish the genetic issue. I tried to persuade him to do a blood sample but he refused. I've also tried to go through the Child Maintenance Service (CSA) to claim financial support from Clayton's dad. But the CSA said that because he has a common name and they didn't know his address because he travelled with the army, I couldn't get anywhere. It's disgraceful that men can get away with this. I'd like to continue fighting for Clayton's dad to support him but I don't know where to go next. My next priorities are to pass my driving test and to get a job so I can earn money to give us better experiences. View More » *Surname changed.

I stayed in the Airbnb alternative trying to do things differently
Metro Checks In to Limehome, a holiday rental platform that's hoping to give Airbnb and VRBO a run for their money. I love Spain, particularly its mainland cities; gazing at Gaudi's masterpieces in Barcelona, watching flamenco in Madrid, and of course, eating tapas anywhere, anytime, at any given opportunity. But as a British tourist, Spain doesn't always love me back. Backlash to mass tourism has snowballed in the past year, with locals complaining of overcrowding and short-term rentals wiping out affordable housing in holiday hotspots. At first glance, Limehome, a sort of Airbnb alternative which offers short-let apartments in 153 European cities, might seem like it's adding to the problem. But the strategy is different. Limehome aims to transform unused urban buildings into hotels and apartments, reducing the impact on housing for locals. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. 'This approach helps bring new life to city areas without impacting the availability of residential housing,' a spokesperson told Metro. They've recently acquired an office building in Paris, which will be transformed into 25 apartments, as well as an unused building in Burgos, a city in Northern Spain less popular with visitors than its famous neighbours. I headed to the Limehome in Ruzafa, Valencia's trendiest neighbourhood, to check it out. Limehome is a hotel-holiday apartment hybrid. There's no reception or concierge — it's all done via an app. You can check in online before your stay, much like you do for a flight. Then, on the day of arrival, you're sent the codes which you use to access the building. To some, this could feel impersonal, but it's quick, easy and faff-free. Opening the door to the light-filled apartment, it's clear to see that providing a clean, comfortable stay is the priority. The aesthetic is all clean lines and grey interiors, with a pop-of-red kitchen. There are a few extra touches to make the place feel cosier, such as houseplants and colourful art on the walls. If a hotel full of personality and local tips is what you're after, this isn't for you — if you'd told me I was the first person to stay here, I'd have believed you. There's no guest book or well-worn pamphlets like you might find in an Airbnb, and I didn't see a single other guest for the three days I was there. But the apartment was spotless, the kitchen stocked with everything you need (including an all-important bottle opener) and the Wi-Fi super fast. Someone visiting Valencia on business would be equally at home here as a group of friends on a city break. The apartment I stayed in had one bedroom, plus a sofa bed in the lounge/dining area. It was spacious, more than big enough for the maximum four people that could stay here. Beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was equipped with shower gel and shampoo, unusual for stays like this. As a self-catered apartment, you won't find any adds on: there's no spa or swimming pool, for example, but the standout feature has to be the cute balcony that looks out onto the street below. Small but compact, it was the perfect spot to rest my legs after a long day of sightseeing, sangria in hand, of course. A special shout-out also goes to the full-length mirror – this should be a must in every holiday accommodation, but it's not. Often, when staying in a self-service apartment, it's all about location. You're foregoing the luxury amenities of a hotel, in exchange for staying right in the action. That's certainly the case for Limehome Valencia, which is in the heart of Ruzafa, Valencia's hipster neighbourhood. You're spoilt for choice when it comes to food and drink: from aesthetically pleasing brunch spots (I liked Casa Raíz with it's cute outdoor courtyard), and some of the best tapas I've ever eaten (I lost count of the amount of plates I ordered at La Anjana) to quirky cocktail bars (La Bella De Cadiz is quite a sight to behold…). There are vintage stores and art galleries, and Ruzafa is known for being particularly LGBTQ+ friendly, with rainbow flagged adorned from various balconies and awnings. And, while it's not Valencia's most famous area for street art (you'll have to head to El Carmen for that), Rufaza feels colourful and creative. You'll still be able to spot some amazing murals if you keep your eyes peeled. You feel like you're hanging out with the locals here, who spill out of bars, and drink Agua de Valencia — a lethal but delicious cocktail — on the kerb. The only downside is that it's not exactly quiet, and it was a little noisy when attempting to sleep. That being said, as a Londoner who lives on a main road, I was able to drift out without any problems. That's not as straightforward as you might think. Limehome uses airline-style dynamic pricing driven by demand, the local market price, and the respective occupancy rate at the location. Rates rise during peak periods (such as during Valencia's famous street-festival Las Fallas in mid-March) and falls when demand is softer. At the time of writing, a standard room in Valencia for a small one-guest apartment will cost: October 8 2025: €123 per night January 14 2026: €98 per night When I first arrived, I threw open the doors of the balcony, and was immediately confronted with a banner hanging from the window of the flat opposite, with the words 'tourists go home'. Perhaps I should have opted for an alternative destination or a locally-run hotel — as Metro's Lifestyle Editor, it's not like I'm unaware of up-and-coming cities that aren't overrun with visitors. More Trending I tried my best to be a responsible tourist. I booked tours with local companies, bought produce from local suppliers at the Central Market, and ate food at restaurants owned by Spanish chefs. Yes, I may have stayed in a short-term let, but Limehome is at least attempting to do things differently. Am I trying to justify my trip to a country that welcomed a staggering 17.3 million British tourists in 2023 alone? Maybe. But I'm not ready to give up my love affair with Spain just yet. Time: Valencia is GMT +1 hours. Weather: The average daily temperature in July and August is around 31°C. Spring is much cooler, with highs of around 21°C in April. Adaptors: Plugs in Spain are type F, which has two round pins. Visas: Currently, there is no visa requirement for UK tourists visiting Spain. However, next year 2026, UK citizens will need to obtain an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System). Check in/check out: 3pm and 11am. Disability access? Yes. Limehome Valencia has a lift, which offers access to all floors. However, not all Limehome apartments are the same, and it's important to check before booking. Standout feature: The right-in-the-heart-of-it location, and little balcony. Perfect for: Limehome Valencia would suit pretty much every type and group of guest, from families to business travellers. Not right for: Those looking for a stay with bags of character. Do you have a story to share?
