Martyn Maxey, hairdresser to the stars, commented: "For some celebrities, a change of hairstyle is headline news. Take Kate Moss and The Fringe for example - in recent weeks we’ve been inundated with requests for the long fringe and despite it falling over the eyes, it’s now a fashion statement and people want it."

Martyn Maxey’s top tips for safe driving and gorgeous hair:

* It is easy to keep a simple headband or alice band in your car’s glove compartment at all times * For the extremely style-conscious there are a variety of hair slides that are fashionable at the moment from classic tortoiseshell to diamante ‘bling’ for a night out * If you have a long fringe and want it to look immaculate when arriving at your destination, leave in a chunky velcro roller to hold it out of your eyes. When you remove it, your fringe will be styled perfectly * For the ultimate in glamour, a pair of Chanel sunglasses secured tightly on the top of your head will push all stray hair away from the face

The following hairstyles were voted the top three most dangerous on the roads:

1. The long fringe (50 %)
2. Sweeping fringe (44%)
3. Short layers to frame the face (5%)

Sheilas’ Wheels understands that fashionable hairstyles are not always going to be the most practical, which is why they are appealing to female motorists to keep hair accessories in their glove compartments at all times.

Jacky Brown at Sheilas’ Wheels car insurance, commented: "Not many women think of their hair as a potential driving distraction, but with the latest trends all requiring styling around the face and eyes, it’s essential that female motorists are aware of this safety issue.

"There are so many hair accessories available that can secure hair in place without compromising style, it’s just about finding the right one for you and making sure it’s handy whenever you step behind the wheel."
