On Saturday's X Factor, Lauren Platt impressed the judges with her take on Let It Go, the hit song from the record-breaking film, Frozen.

Whilst we loved the 17-year-old's vocals, we very much enjoyed her beauty look - she looked incredible! With her purple glittery eyes and glossy pink lips, it was VERY girly, and a perfect look for the song choice.

We also loved the hair! X Factor hairstylist, Jamie Stevens, says: "This week we toned down Lauren's ombrè colour with a full head of highlights. Her look this week is inspired by fairytale Princesses but we've given the classic braid a modern twist to keep her look youthful and playful."

STEP 1:

Apply TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Amplifying Mousse (£4) onto towel dried hair, working product through from roots to ends whilst blow drying.

STEP 2:

Divide hair into 2-3 inch diagonal sections, adding hair as you go, keeping the braids the same width, repeat three times. Dust with TRESemmé 24 Hour Body Plumping Powder (£5.50) for ultimate root lift and texture.

Secure with pins and tease with fingertips for added volume and thickness.

STEP 3:

Tong the ends using a medium wand and spritz with TRESemmé Ultimate Hold Hairspray (£4.99) to secure in place.

Simple! But practise will make perfect.
