Beauty spot: Leona Lewis's side quiff

Following the recent break-up with her boyfriend of 10 years, newly single Leona Lewis has discovered her rebellious side, turning up to London's Whisky Mist club on Monday with not
only a polka-dot cropped top and fishnet tights but an unusual side quiff.

Top London hairdresser, Sergio Giannasso, says 25-year-old Leona's hair is naturally very curly so a long-lasting keratin straightening treatment (from £120, sergiogiannasso.co.uk) would help reduce volume and frizz, making hair like hers easier to style. If you're looking to recreate her look for yourself at home, take Giannasso's advice: "Divide the hair by clipping the fringe away and tying the rest in a clean ponytail, leaving it soft on the sides.

Backcomb the fringe, recombing it to remove excess flyaway, fold around your fingers to create the quiff, and lock with hairgrips." Fix with Elnett hairspray (£11.40, from most good pharmacies) and, for glossy effect, Crystal Gloss spray (L'Oréal, £9.90) or Verni Nutri-sculpt (Kerastase, £17.20).
