This year's winter Love Island brought us many things: Samie Elishi's sense of style, glorious pearl necklaces and Sanam and Kai's win-worthy relationship. But one thing we can't stop thinking about is Olivia Hawkins and her infamous half up half down hairstyle.

What can we say, amongst all the villa drama, Olivia's hair serves remained consistent, and had us wondering if we could ever pull off such a look? Luckily for us though, Liv took to TikTok to share her advice on creating her signature hairdo, which we are eternally grateful for, and now we have no choice but to replicate it.

In her video, Olivia shared with her followers a step-by-step guide on getting a stunnin' slicked back, half up half down hairstyle, and we couldn't help but notice that her go-to hair product was a bargain buy. She revealed she uses the Eco Olive Oil Styling Gel - and it's only £3.99.

Using her hands, she first takes some oil from the container and pushes her hair back with the product. Then, she uses a LullaBellz Back Combing Brush to slick the section of hair back, tying it up with a hair bobble.

With a Beauty Works hair curler, she then waves her hair (including the part she sectioned at the top) and then finishes off the look by spraying L'Oreal Elnett hairspray on her hair and running some L'Oreal Repair Oil through the length.

Now all there's left to do is try it out yourself - we know we are going to.

Attracting moisture to tame frizz and flyaways, this olive oil gel by Eco makes a slick back look easy to achieve at an affordable price.
