Lou Teasdale, celebrity hair stylist for boyband One Direction, has opened up about how she job her sought after job in a new interview with Superdrug. 

The talented stylist and make-up artist explained that she went to college for fashion, but put her skills to use any time a fellow student needed assistance, which led to her getting hired by someone who worked on 'The X Factor':

"I went to the London College Of Fashion and when I was there I assisted anyone that would have me! I did loads of test shoots to get experience in the industry too, because I don’t think you really learn how things work until you actually go and do it."

"I then started to assist a hairdresser called Ben and he barber trained me. He worked on 'The X Factor' and a lot of music videos, and at this point I’d never done celebrity work before. Personality wise I liked it more and I felt my vision for hair and make-up worked better for music rather than fashion."

She added that her passion for styling hair and the opportunity to work on 'The X Factor' pushed her towards the One Direction lads and they just began working together: "From that I would usually stay with the 2 or 3 acts that would get signed and work on their music videos and their tv appearances. Every year I’d then go back to 'The X Factor' when the series started again, so that kept me busy right up until I started working with One Direction."

Last summer, Teasdale told Teen Vogue magazine that sometimes the heartthrobs need very little styling because they're great at dressing themselves in fashionable ways: "Sometimes they all arrive on set and I feel like I don't even need to do anything. They all have their own style and none of them are clueless when it comes to looking cool."
