Especially their hair - it always looks amazing, whether it's slicked back into a ponytail, big and beautiful or even in a glamorous blowdry.

So we spoke to X Factor backstage TRESemme stylist, Jamie Stevens, who shared his 5 all-time favourite looks he's created on the show. Read on below...

Sam Bailey

Sam was the last lady standing and for me it was great working with her; seeing her complete transformation. Sam was a complete blank canvas when we first started on the live shows, she had never styled or coloured her hair. To begin with we took her hair darker for the first live shows but it was the gradual lightening of the hair that really took Sam to star status.

The colour and shape created a more youthful look and complemented her skin tone. For me voluminous glamorous waves really suited Sam, I always finished each look with a misting of TRESemme Ultimate Hold Hairspray (RRP £4.99) to keep every style perfectly in place! I loved being part of Sam's journey from prison warden to super star!

Tamera Foster

One of my favourite contestant transformations was definitely when we took Tamera from dark to blonde and cut her hair into a graduated bob.

I wanted to shake things up a bit with Tamera as she had a perfect face shape and gorgeous bone structure, which I wanted to emphasise.

I cut her hair into a graduated layered bob, it was slightly inverted so was longer at the front which hugs and draws attention to her jaw line perfectly.

Fleur East

This series its all been about Fleur and her amazing hair! She admits that's when her hair looks amazing she performs better as it gives her the confidence needed to smash it on the stage. Before the X Factor Fleur didn't realize there were so many ways to style her hair. You'll be surprised how many types curl you can create.

I sometimes straighten Fleur's hair and then tong it using TRESemme Volume Curling Wand for looser curls. My favourite look so far has to be Big Band Week. Fleur's hair couldn't be more perfect for this! I wanted to create big bouncy curls with sky-high volume and body for a 1920s sophisticated glamorous finish.

Little Mix

I loved working with these girls because they were young so always happy to try creative styles and mix things up every week. It was important that the electric, youthful energy of Little Mix was reflective in the hair. It was all about cool undone hair with a matt texture.

My backstage styling weapon for these girls was TRESemme 24hr Body Plumping Powder (RRP £5.50). I used to get the girls to flip their heads upside down and dust at the roots for instant body and bouncy. This product gives a natural matt texture, which is perfect for that morning after hair - which is super cool and playful!

Lauren Platt

I toned down Lauren's ombre colour with a full head of highlights - creating a more softer natural look.

I have loved working with Lauren this series as she has great texture which means we've been able to play around with lots of girly looks.

She is only 17, so we wanted to keep her look fresh - and as the name suggests… lots of plaits!

TRESemme Oil Elixir (RRP £9.99) has been my go-to product for Lauren to add shine and tame flyways - perfect for beautiful healthy radiant hair.
