Emma Willis with hairdresser Mellissa Brown

Shiny hair is something all girls dream of but it seems you need a team of stylists on hand to achieve a celebrity style shine to your locks.

Help is on hand in your quest though as TV star Emma Willis's hairdresser Mellissa Brown has given us the inside scoop on how to keep your hair looking in great condition.

Mellissa says: "To achieve a shine like Emma’s, you should rough dry your hair and then separate it into small sections. Blow dry each section with a round bristle brush and always point the nozzle down the hair shaft which smoothes the cuticle down so it lies flat and reflects the light.

"Spray on some heat protection spray and then use straightening irons for a sleek look and finish off with hair serum on the ends. Always use a shampoo and conditioner that will look after your hair if you use heated appliances, such as head&shoulders Damage Rescue which I recommend to my clients as scalp and hair rehab in a bottle!

If it's good enough for Emma, then we'll be giving Mellissa's technique a go.

Emma and Mellissa are teaming up again to judge the head&shoulders Nation’s Favourite Hairdresser Awards 2009.
