How many times have you sat in the hairdresser’s chair before a big event and complained about your ‘terrible’ hair?. In the 50 years I’ve been in the business, with clients including Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne and Naomi Campbell, and seven years as Princess Diana’s private hair stylist, I’ve lost count (and yes, even the famous ones do it).

But I’ve got news for you: there’s no such thing as ‘terrible’ hair. You’re just not doing the right things with it. Sometimes, it is as simple as finding products that work for you, making small adjustments to your signature style or trying a new cut, shape or colour, but there is so much you can do to ‘hack’ your hair.

Looking good for a New Year’s Eve party – no matter how frazzled and thoroughly Decembered your hair feels right now – is entirely within your grasp. Whether it’s recreating Kate Moss’s ‘cool girl’ look or the secrets to supermodel shine, here you will find my comprehensive guide to getting A-list hair.

FAKE A VOLUMINOUS SALON BLOW DRY. This party season, the big, bouncy blowout is back – and it’s now easier than ever thanks to foolproof volumisers and Velcro rollers.

Use a volumising foam, a root volumiser or both to prep your hair for volume that lasts. For those big, bouncy waves, you can use a hot brush – Shark and BaByliss both do one, and the new Dyson Airwrap is amazing – or invest in a set of Velcro rollers.
