Michael began by dampening Davina’s hair with a water spray, before applying some taming cream and shine to her black locks.
She then tied the sleek locks into a low braid and cut it flat, away from her face.
Trying it on himself, the stylist smoothed the wig, which retails for £120 at Pak Cosmetics, while it was on his head.
The wig was then placed on Davina’s head while her partner cut her bangs to create the bespoke look for the show.
