Rita Ora looked seriously showstopping as she stepped out onto the X Factor stage on Saturday night.

The pop superstar was rocking sexy, loose waves that her hair stylist Chris Appleton has dubbed 'The Glunge'.

"Grunge meets glamour (AKA The Glunge) is what it's all about right now!" he tells us. "This look oozes sexiness combining loose waves with a lived-in feel.

Recreating the look on Rita, Chris took inspiration from the Versace show. Here, he gives us a guide to getting the look.

  1. STEP 1: Prep damp hair with Fudge Urban Salt Spray £6.99 and Fudge Urban Iced Raspberry & Vanilla Mousse £5.99 through the roots and mid-lengths to give hair a lived in texture and gritty volume.
  2. STEP 2: Twist sections of hair as you dry to add natural movement and wave.
  3. STEP 3: Using a large barrelled wand, take sections of hair and loosely tong in different directions to add more controlled texture and curl.
  4. STEP 4: Using Fudge Urban Miracle Ends £5.99, twist the bottom sections of the hair for a defined, smooth and glossy finish.
  5. STEP 5: Add a spritz of hairspray to keep the style in place.
