I’m Olivia Attwood’s hair stylist and the secret to her signature bouncy locks is a £6 buy anyone can get
OLIVIA Attwood’s Loose Women hairdos are nothing short of gorgeous.
The new panellist has been known to rock bouncy blow outs, “demure” curls, tousled up ‘dos and glam waves on the daytime talk show.
But how does she keep every strand in place?
According to her hair stylist Hair By Sarrah, it’s thanks to a spray you can pick up for as cheap as £6.49.
Celeb beauty expert Sarrah regularly shares product lists for her hairy masterpieces on Instagram.
And when it comes to Bad Boyfriends host Olivia, 33, she always uses the Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray to secure her bronde tresses in place.
A 75ml bottle of the spritz will set you back just £6.49, or you can pick up a larger 330ml size for £17.85.
Haircare bosses describe it as “a strong hold, flexible hairspray that boosts shine and fights frizz without leaving a flaky residue”.
It’s also been dubbed “ideal for securing updos”.
Sarrah has also been known to work with fellow Love Island alumni Maura Higgins, Molly Smith and Laura Anderson.
She recently followed Olivia, who is married to footballer Bradley Dack, to Greece to get the presenter’s star ready for episodes of ITV’s Bad Boyfriends.
Back in April, Olivia herself showcased how she gets the perfect claw clip up ‘do every time.
Taking to social media, she shared a tutorial on how she fits all her extensions into a single claw clip.
“There’s loads of ways to do this but this just works for me,” she said.
“My hair is too clean and too straight for this really today but I didn’t want to forget about making the video.
“Hair goes up into a pony and then pull it through half way.”
What's the science behind Moroccanoil's Luminous Hairspray?
Moroccanoil’s Luminous Hairspray is award-winning for a reason.
It is a flexible hairspray for building long-lasting styles with movable, but also strong, hold.
Its lightweight and workable finishing formula blankets hair in a reflective shield of shine that fights frizz and humidity.
It leaves no flaky or sticky residue and brushes out easily.
The formula is infused with a combination of advanced ingredients, including antioxidant-rich argan oil.
Due to the weight of the faux hair, tying it up before adding a claw clip will help the style stay in place and alleviate pulling on the scalp.
Once the hair is in a half ponytail, Olivia twists the bottom end and wraps it around the part that hasn’t been pulled through her hair band.
She then secures the “wrap around” style in place with a cheap Amazon claw clip.
“Literally search, ‘large claw clip’, I think,” she said.
“And then literally just ram it all in… that’s what she said.
“You can pull little bits out and fluff it up so it looks really natural and like you just did it in 30 seconds, when actually it took 15 tries.”
