Emma Willis’ hairdresser uses a playing card to achieve her gravity-defying quiff and reveals Meghan Markle’s favourite haircare brand
EMMA Willis always looks gorgeous on Celebrity Big Brother, thanks in part to her sky-high quiff.
Now, she and her hairdresser have revealed exactly how her hair stays so perky - and they have some very interesting tricks.
This year, Emma's 'do - which she and stylist refer to as '"The Quaff" - appears to have reached greater heights than ever.
Oddly, that might all be down to a playing card.
On the 42-year-old's Instagram page, she's shared a photo of herself with a card clipped to the side of her head.
This is to keep her locks upright, and stop them from falling to the sides while Louis gets to work.
Louis has also let us in on some of his secrets.
His Instagram page tells us a lot about the products he uses on Emma's locks, including a thickening spray from Meghan Markle's favourite haircare brand.
In a photo of his CBB dressing table, we spotted Oribe's Maximista spray, which Meghan reportedly uses to help achieve her bouncy blow-dry.

That's not the only cult buy Louis swears by.
He appears to be the owner of Sam McKnight's full Hair by Sam McKnight collection, a four-piece dry styling range that promises to "give you the backstage experience in a can".
It includes a texturising spray, dry shampoo and hairspray, but we reckon the up-do spray is most useful for tackling Emma's signature mane.
It's said to give "grip that won't slip", so that fewer hairpins are used in buns and chignons - and quiffs, we suppose.

It may be quirky, but the combination of products and cards definitely seems to be working for Emma.
Long live the "Quaff"!
