Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s stylist shares haircare secrets

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen don’t follow hair trends.
The stylish siblings – who are famed for their tousled tresses – like to make up their own rules when it comes to hair styles and cuts, according to their long-time haircare guru, Mark Townsend.

He told TheCoveteur.com: “They have such amazing style, it is so inspiring. And it so personal. They don’t follow trends — they are usually setting them — so they do what works best for them, what looks best on them and it’s the same with their hair.”

The 27-year-old twins might have different go-to styles – with Ashley sporting long waves and Mary-Kate favouring a top knot – but they have both embraced the power of dry shampoo to achieve their laid back look.

Mark explained: “They are blessed with having great texture and natural wave in their hair so we don’t have to spend a lot of time to get that perfectly tousled look. The biggest secret is the dry shampoo – it gives the hair such amazing texture.”

The stylist – who is also in charge of Lea Michele and Jennifer Lawrence’s locks – revealed the secret to keeping the girls’ blonde hair in good condition is a special blend of natural oils.

He said: “I recently made up a conditioner for the girls … and told them to put it in their hair before swimming and while in the sun; it was coconut oil, almond oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E. All things I picked up at the health food store!

“When they got back, they both asked me for more and I could feel a huge difference in their hair. They use it a couple times a week and leave it in for up to an hour.”
