GLAMOUR went along to V Festival this year; we watched Justin Timberlake do his THANG, Rita Ora shake her butt, and Lily Allen show us a little more than she intended to - oopsy!

But everyone looked picture perfect - how!?! Well, there are MAJOR perks to being a celebrity. Unlike us, they don't have to traipse through the mud trying to find where their tent is, nor do they have to try and flag down a taxi in order to catch the last train home. And they definitely don't have to do their own hair - that's what the Mark Hill Spa is for, darling.

During our trip to V Festival we spent time schmoozing with the celebs and the fash pack in the Virgin Media Louder Lounge - an exclusive space with delicious food, free drinks, live acts, and a spa space where you can get your hair, nails, and your eyebrows done.

Obviously we made use of those things while we were there - it would have been rude not to.

The hair supremos at Mark Hill were working their magic on Zoe Hardman, Made in Chelsea's Louise Thompson and ex-MIC star, Ashley James.

But there was ONE major hair trend that we spotted at V Festival this year - the crazy plait.

Want to recreate the look? We asked Mark Hill how to accomplish the humble Blondie Wave

Step 1

Spray hair with Mark Hill Get Gorgeous Work it Girl Shine Protect and Control Spray.

Step 2

Add some loose waves with a Mark Hill Wicked Waver before plaiting a section of hair from the front hair line. Secure the plait back using a couple of grips.

Step 3

Works some Mark Hill Get Gorgeous Flirty Fix through your hands and then rub hair gently between your palms to create texture and break up the waves.
