I’m Maya Jama’s hairstylist and here’s the £11 secret to her thick locks – it’s perfect for adding volume to flat hair

LOVE Island is finally back on our screens and if you were left feeling envious of Maya Jama’s lovely locks, don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place.

Not only did we see Olivia Hawkins, 29, and Gabby Allen, 32, strut their stuff into the South African villa, but we also saw the ITV show’s host, Maya Jama, 30, look fabulous.

The presenter entered the villa looking as gorgeous as ever, but it was her hair that really left fans open-mouthed.

Luckily for you, Maya’s hairstylist has revealed the secrets behind her long, curly and voluminous locks - and there’s an £11 buy that you won’t want to miss if you’ve got fine, flat hair.

Ross Kwan, a Canadian hairstylist and make-up designer, who is based in London but flew out to South Africa to do Maya’s locks for the show, took to social media last night to reveal how he got her TV ready. 

Ross confirmed that he used three Color Wow products to ensure Maya’s hair looked beautiful - and you can buy them online now.

Not only did Ross use the iconic Dream Coat spray, as well as the Style on Steroids texture spray, but he also swore by the Raise the Root spray. 

To ensure Maya’s clip-in extensions looked villa ready, Ross wouldn’t have been without the Color Wow Raise the Root Thicken + Lift Spray, a lightweight formula that delivers heat protection, major volume and body to fine, flat hair. 

It’s perfect for those with fine strands, as it provides long-lasting volume without stiffness or stickiness.

Not only is it completely invisible, but this handy mist is formulated with unique elastomers which form a 'spring' at the roots to boost bounce, while the infusion of clear polymers prevents any change to your hair colour. 

To get the best results, simply spritz it on wet or dry hair, and it will offer UV and heat protection, whilst keeping your strands soft and in place for voluminous, thicker-looking swishes. 

Maya’s fans were clearly impressed by her hair, as many flocked to the comment section to compliment her lovely locks. 

One person said: “Killed it with the hair, been looking forward to seeing these looks & excited for the looks yet to come for the rest of the season.” 

Another added: “Her hair looks divine!”

A third commented: “Unreal.”

If you want results like Maya, you can buy the Color Wow product from Cult Beauty.

It’s just £11 for a 50ml travel size bottle or £21.50 for a 150ml bottle. 

Shoppers rave

And not only does Maya love the hairdresser-approved buy, but shoppers do too.

The affordable product has racked up hundreds of five star reviews online, with many praising its ability to make even the flattest of hair look incredibly voluminous.

One beauty fan beamed: “This is a lovely spray and works well on my straight, fine hair - especially when combined with the bombshell volumizer. It's particularly effective as a refresh on second day hair.”

A second chimed in: “Great volume at the roots without leaving any residue.” 

Whilst someone else praised: “I love this product! It lifts my hair without making it stiff or sticky at the roots. I will definitely be purchasing the full size version.” 

Not only this, but another hair enthusiast claimed: “Does exactly what it says - gives massive volume with no stickiness or greasy feeling.”
