We rarely get an opportunity to see into the beauty bags of celebrities, and if you're anything like us you've long wanted to know McCall's secret to her bouncy and healthy-looking locks. Well, you're in luck as we've just discovered the hair staples that the presenter relies on for the effortless styling of her long bob and volumised curtain bangs...

McCall's hair stylist (and partner), Michael Douglas, posted a reel to his Instagram in which he shared an insight into Davina's haircare routine, before attending the National Television Awards on 11th September 2024.

The hairdresser first prepped McCall's locks with the Arkive Blow Dry Spray and Sebastian Professional's Potion 9, both which work to reduce the appearance of split ends, provide a flexible yet strong hold and offer a high-shine finish. Douglas then placed mdlondon's Radial 2 Round Brush underneath each strand of hair and rolled it towards the ends, following the brush with the brand's Blow Professional Hair Dryer to add volume, bounce and flick out the ends.

And voilá! That's quite simply all it took to create McCall's salon-worthy blow-dry finish. Stressing just how little time the red-carpet hair look took in the caption of the Instagram post, Douglas says: "It honestly took 5 mins to do her hair. Literally just a fringe blow out!"
