Kylie Cantrall is in her pink era—and she has the hair streaks to match. “I just got them done two days ago,” she shares as she plops into a studio makeup chair. “They were dyed red for Descendants and then faded into pink. It’s a little fiery, a little sassy and definitely girly. That’s my vibe right now.”
Kylie’s hair isn’t the only thing making a statement these days. After headlining the Disney Channel sitcom Gabby Duran & The Unsittables from 2019 to 2021, 18-year-old Kylie has been unstoppable. She’s dropped a few can’t-miss singles (make “Texts

(ICYMI, Kylie’s Sharpay-inspired character Dani is an instant hit.)

But her most important role lately? Being the go-to relationship advice gal of her friend group.
