How-to: Get Marilyn Monroe's Voluminous Waves With Our Top Tips From Nicky Clarke's Warren Holmes

We have always been jealous of Marilyn Monroe's curls. How were they so big and soft and bouncy? How did they stay put for so long? When we curl our hair we either end up with a fizzy mane or flat 'do within an hour. So when we heard claims from Nicky Clarke's creative director Warren Holmes that he could get ANY hair to look like the screen siren's, we decided to put him to the test.

We sent Helly Marrion-Cole to the brand's Mayfair salon to see whether he could transform her fine, poker-straight bob into thick Marilyn waves.

Click through our gallery to find out three ways to create curls, his top tips for getting volume and how to get this exact Marilyn style.
