PIXIE'S LOCKS GET PREENED FOR THE 2011 BRITS...

Last night saw the finest talents from across the music scene come together for the event of the year, The Brits 2011. Pop-sensation Pixie Lott was amongst the evenings' fashion and celebrity festivities and HOB Salons were her go-to stylist for her Brigitte Bardot inspired locks.

Opting for a classic Dolce & Gabanna lace maxi-dress, HOB Salons' Claire Dawson wanted to create a statement doo that was glamorous and right on trend for S/S11, but still incorporated Pixie's well-renowned bohemian style. She comments, 'Pixie often opts for the bohemian look, but we wanted to go for something a bit different that incorporated elegant structure. We kept the hair soft around the face creating a dishevelled feel whilst the rest of the hair incorporated sexy volume giving her that extra glam-factor.'

GET THE LOOK... To achieve Pixie's 70's inspired Bardot-esque up-do, simply follow these three simple steps:

Step 1: Working with towel dried hair, begin by smoothing through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair with Velvet Amplifier (£9.65 @ HOB Salons) from the new Wella Professionals Style range. Next, using a large round bristle brush, blow-dry the hair smooth until dry.

Step 2: Place the hair in a centre parting. Next, begin backcombing the hair throughout the crown creating soft volume, then using ghd Classic Stylers (£99.00 @ HOB Salons) construct a soft curl on the ends of the hair giving it a feminine feel.

Step 3: Gather the hair back into a ponytail below the crown and secure in place, leaving the front fringe section and top crown area loose. Using grips, take sections of the ponytail hair and strategically place these pieces around the ponytail base and build up the hair on the crown area. This will gradually build up the shape, but be sure to leave some pieces to fall loose creating a chic, dishevelled feel. To finish, simply place the fringe area into place and gently tease the sides to give softness around the face and finally complete with Sebastian Shaper Fierce Hairspray (£15.95 @ HOB Salons) to give ultimate hold and that red-carpet shine!

TOP TIP: bring this look to life with a detailed accessory of your choice to compliment your attire and deliver that piece de resistance!
