Wigs factor: Kelly Rowland's secret weapon in the style war... hairpieces that even have nicknames

By Sara Nathan


With their long, glossy locks, the two new women on X Factor’s judging panel have made it clear they intend to follow Cheryl Cole’s bouffant example.

But it turns out Kelly Rowland has a secret weapon as she takes on Tulisa Contostavlos in the show’s style wars – wigs.

And the former Destiny’s Child singer is so fond of her selection of hairpieces that she has even given them nicknames, the Daily Mail has learned.

The 30-year-old’s impressive mane was much discussed by fans during Saturday night’s show, as it appeared to be different in every audition clip.

A friend said: ‘Kelly loves her wigs and they allow her to try out a different look.
‘She’s quite affectionate about them and even has names for them.

She’s ordered some more for the live shows so she can do some “up-dos”.’

‘It’s going to be the battle of the hair with Kelly and Tulisa. Dannii Minogue and Cheryl both looked so different, but Tulisa and Kelly have long manes.’

New judge Tulisa Contostavlos has been given similar Cole style brunette hair extensions, but with one lighter blonde streak at the front, giving her a chic look.

However, Miss Rowland insisted that she has no real rivalry with Tulisa, 23, describing her as a ‘wonderful, real chick.’

The former Destiny’s Child star also denied fellow judge Gary Barlow’s claim that ‘it’s costume wars every day’ on the X Factor.

She told Now magazine: ‘Tulisa and I both have separate stylists - we call them and make sure we’re not wearing the same thing but that’s about it.’

She added: ‘People call me a diva because of my entourage.

‘I have two stylists, a make-up artist, an assistant and a publicist. But it’s just because I’m far from home.’

Miss Rowland will next week pick her finalists for the live shows in Miami, with her newly-pregnant best friend Beyonce Knowles to help her whittle down the hopefuls in her girls category.

Speaking about Beyonce’s pregnancy, which she revealed at the MTV Video music awards on Sunday night, she said ‘I think she’ll be an incredible mother, because she’s always been motherly.

‘She takes so many traits from her mother, and I just think it’s going to be so natural for her. It’s natural for her now!’

Miss Rowland added that she’s know about her friend’s pregnancy ‘for quite awhile’ Beyonce, 29, is expecting her first child with her husband, rapper Jay Z.
