LOSSIEMOUTH stylist Karen Thomson is part of a team responsible for the hairdos of this year’s ‘X Factor’ contestants.

And it is not just the locks of the wannabe popstars she has to think about, but also those of the ITV show’s judges as well as an extensive backing cast.

Karen travelled to London as part of the Jamie Stevens Hair Team for last weekend’s shows, which saw boy band Nu Vibe depart after a showdown with Frankie Cocozza.

The Kam Hair & Body Spa owner will be back next month for another two-day stint behind the scenes and her name is also down for the show’s grand final.

"It was just brilliant," said Karen, who confessed to being a big ‘X Factor’ fan.

"Turning up on the first morning, there are all these young girls hanging around the gates and all these photographers hanging over the walls, so it is then that it hits.

"They were long, hard days of just non-stop working, but it was a great atmosphere. You are working on all the contestants really and you have all the dancers to do as well, so there was a lot of prep work throughout the day."
