She's X Factor's golden girl: Tamera Foster returns to blonde as she unveils new hairstyle ahead of week three
By FAY STRANG
She underwent a make-over ahead of the first live shows of the X Factor – which involved a fringe and darker locks.
But as Tamera Foster gears up for week three of the show, she clearly fancied going back to blonde as she paid a visit to the ITV show’s hairdresser Jamie Stevens on Friday.
And after some pimping and preening, the 16-year-old emerged with warm blonde locks falling in loose curls around her shoulders and a big smile on her face.

Blonde ambition: X Factor's Tamera Foster paid a visit to Jamie Steven's hair salon on Friday for a new look

Before: Tamera arrived with a fringe and with darker hair - which was a look given to her in the first week
Ahead of her hair cutting session the pretty singer arrived with her dark locks piled on top of her head with her dark brown fringe framing her face.
Looking already like a pop star the Gravesend born star wore a pair of high waisted black leggings with a white crop top and matching white heels.
As Tamera entered the salon a stylist was seen holding blonde extensions ready to put in her hair and it wasn’t long until Jamie got to work on her locks.

Ready to go: Tamera sat in the salon with Jamie discussing what she was going to have done

A little addition: A stylist was seen carrying some hair extensions towards Tamera

Getting the look: Jamie - who is the hairdresser for the X Factor - spent time perfecting her look

In keeping: Tamera's new look comes ahead of her singing Listen, which was famously performed by Beyonce

Having fun: Tamera looked like she was having fun getting her hair done
And as the final touches were done to her hair, Tamera couldn’t contain her happiness and was seen laughing away.
This weekend sees the contestants try their hand at classic movie soundtracks with Tamera channelling BeyoncĂ© and Broadway as she takes on Dreamgirls’ Listen – which may explain her choice of hairstyle for the week.
It wasn’t however just Tamera who paid a visit to the salon – it was a very big occasion for Luke Friend who had his hair washed for the first time in over a year.

Time for a change: Luke Friend looked a little reluctant when he arrived at the salon for his hair styling

Oh no: Luke pulled a dramatic face as Jamie got to work on his locks

Brave: Jamie was braver than most as he sniffed Luke's hair


First time: Luke squirmed as he had his hair washed for the first time in over a year

Dye job: Luke was also treated to a few high lights in his matted hair
The 17-year-old looked a little hesitant as he sat down in the hair dressing chair, ready for Jamie to take a look.
The hairdresser to the stars was seen tentatively smelling the youngster’s ‘dreadlocks’ before giving them a good old rinse.
The shampoo-shy singer was even given a couple of highlights to complete his new look.

Star in the making: Tamera looked like a celebrity as she arrived for her hair cut

Covered up: Luke meanwhile arrived with a red beanie hat on his head

Old look: Tamera had light hair and no fringe when she took part in her first audition
Speaking after hitting the salon, he said: ‘My hair didn't particularly smell to be honest but now it's had a good wash I'll definitely be burying my head in Nicole's face and seeing if it works!’
Luke and his new locks will be singing Kiss From A Rose when he takes to the stage during Movie Week.
The X Factor continues on Saturday and Sunday at 8pm on ITV.


Not long now: Jeanette Akua (L) and Sese Foster looked in high spirits as they left the X Factor house on Friday

Thumbs up: The lads from Kingsland Road looked like they raring to go as they left the house
