SAG Awards: Behind-the-Scenes With Lea Michele and Jennifer Lawrence
Hairstyles at last night’s SAG Awards ranged from sexy shaken-out waves like Lea Michele to a teased, oversize bun like Jennifer Lawrence. And we got the inside scoop on their looks, thanks to celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend. “Lea put her dress on, and I immediately saw a very modern ’70s diva,” he told us. “I gave her a big, full blowout with a small round brush for as much volume as possible.” As for Lawrence, he created a look that was young, fun and modern. “I wanted there to be tons of texture inside the bun, but I wanted it to be smooth,” Townsend said.
How did Townsend get Michele's shaken-out waves? By adding mousse and thickening spray. Then he worked on the curls. "I took three-inch sections of hair and wrapped it around a 3/4-inch curling iron," he said. "I was random with how long I held each section. The longer you hold it the tighter the curl, and I wanted it to be pretty random."
More prep!
"For finishing, I used Sally Hershberger Wave Spray and scrunched it in," Townsend explained. "Then, I used very large amounts of Dove Extra Hold Hairspray. I tucked it into her bag before she went. I told her to keep shaking and spraying throughout the night."
