Did anyone else get totally distracted by the hair ‘dos during Saturday night’s The X Factor? Lauren Platt sang like an angel but it was her barnet we were lusting after!

The volumised yet sleek waves will look fabulous at any party over the festive season. Official* XF* hair stylist Jamie Stevens tells us how he achieved Lauren’s lovely look…

“There’s a fine line between natural and overdone waves. This look requires teasing the curls with your fingertips to create effortless waves. Add a headband for instant volume and a glamorous finish.”

STEP 1

Wash hair with a smoothing shampoo and conditioner to reduce frizz.
