Dominatrix ponytails - find your inner fetish

Tess Daly and Kitty Brucknell make stern hair sexy

Kitty Brucknell goes Lady Gaga with high blonde ponytail on The X Factor

Sit up and pay attention!

Dominatrix ponytails - as championed by Emanuel Ungaro in his autumn/winter 2011 collection - have been riding high on our TV screens.

Tess Daly sported swept back hair on Strictly Come Dancing, while Kitty Brucknell whipped up a storm before her exit with her dramatic 'do on The X Factor.

HOW TO CREATE THE DOMINATRIX LOOK...

1 Spritz hair with a styling spray before blow-drying.

2 Blow-dry hair with a round bristle brush and direct heat down from roots.

3 Run straighteners over hair and pull into a high pony.

 4 Wrap a piece of hair around the base of the pony, securing with grips.
