Bridal Hair How To: Shiny, Bouncy Hairstyle Inspired by Brigitte Bardot!

Special to OneWed by Nicole Pearl, The Beauty Girl, with tips from celebrity hair stylist Mark Townsend

Do you remember Jessica Biel’s drop dead gorgeous hairstyle at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards? I know I do! Her locks were shiny, bouncy, sexy and pretty much every other adjective us girls strive for when it comes to special occasion hair. And believe it or not, there are just three simple steps to achieving this look, no celebrity hair god needed!

Step 1- The Volume: Add oomph by applying a bit of volumizing mousse to damp hair. Mark recommends Dove Body & Lift Volumizing Mousse because “it gives the hair body that will last all through the evening!” What this means, lovely bride-to-be, is that you won’t have to fret about your wedding day hair falling flat before the wedding reception is over.

Step 2- The Blowout: Blow dry your hair with a large round brush, which will encourage lift and movement.

Step 3- The Hold: Once your hair is completely dry, spray a flexible hairspray all over. A flexible formula is essential to give your style hold while still allowing for movement, and will ensure you avoid the sticky, stiff helmut head look on your wedding day.

I’m dying to try this DIY hairstyle, aren’t you? I think it’s perfect for the rehearsal dinner or bachelorette party!
