Millie Court, who has teamed up with the hair styling brand, said: "Embodying the iconic looks of pop queens like Taylor, Lana, and Dua for this shoot was an absolute dream come true.
“Their style choices have inspired myself and many others over the years and I had so much fun experiencing their signature looks firsthand.
“I hope this campaign encourages people to unleash their wild side and express themselves fearlessly through hair just like our pop heroes do.
“Don't be afraid to experiment with looks like bubble braids, hair jewellery, bright colours or whatever makes you feel confident and true to yourself."

“It’s time to get planning, be confident and experiment with festival season just around the corner.
