Wedding Hair tips from celebrity stylist Mark Townsend

Holy Facebook Newsfeed, everyone’s getting married! Congrats to all the newly engaged :). In the spirit of wedding fever, I got some great tips from celebrity stylist, Mark Townsend (the go-to hair guru for the likes of Lea Michele, Jennifer Lawrence, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen), on some trendy hair do’s for your big ‘I do’ (horrible pun).

Top knots are a trend that just won’t quit. - Mark Townsend

  • Been growing your hair before your wedding? Don’t be a bride with fuzzy split-ends. “Schedule a trim three weeks before your cut, which leaves plenty of time for tweaks.”
  • “Tiny colored accents—whether it’s a crystal barrette, or a colored bobby pin—are everywhere. Use them as your something blue, or as a fun, subtle way to match your bridesmaids.”
  • “A face-framing tendril or a few pieces around the face look great in pictures—but can get limp and sweaty on the dance floor. Rather than tucking behind your ear, twist and pin with a bobby pin to keep them cutely off your face.”
  • “Wedding day updos need to stay in place long after you say ‘I do.’ For extra security, spritz hairpins with Dove Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo. It gives them a subtle matte finish that helps them stay put through cocktails, cake and the electric slide.”
  • “If your hair isn’t naturally curly and you’re worried about spirals loosening up on the dance floor, hit the hairspray before and after styling. Misting a hairspray like Dove’s Style+Care Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray onto each section before wrapping sections around a curling iron will really lock in the shape.”
  • “Top knots are a trend that just won’t quit, and they’re perfect for walking down the runway or the aisle. It’s a great way to elongate your neck, or show off a really elegant or ornate dress.”
  • “Is your hair color-treated? Don’t wait until the last minute to get a refresh for your wedding day. Plan to get highlights two weeks out, or a single-process the week before. Swap in the low-sulfate Dove Color Care Shampoo to your washing routine to protect from fading and keep the color vibrant.”
