Clear skin, bright eyes, polished hair and glowing skin - it's all part of the staple Chelsea beauty look that can be seen on TV series "Made in Chelsea". But it costs a bomb. Fret not! An expert suggests tips to get the same look at an affordable cost.

From long, luxurious locks to messy mane, the hair experts at hairtrade.com have all the tips one need to achieve the "Made in Chelsea" look, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

* Thickening spray: Thick hair is very Chelsea and Binky Felstead (name of one of the character) pulls off this look perfectly.

Use a thickening shampoo and conditioner to treat the scalp and follow with a thickening hair spray. Try hair dense thickening spray for volume and thickness by adding strength and elasticity to your hair. It will also hold your hair in place without it feeling sticky. Simply spray it through damp hair and style as desired.

If you have really thin hair and thickening spray is not enough, use hair extensions to add more depth and volume.

* Hair serum: Glossy hair is all part of the Chelsea uniform and nobody wears the look quite like Lucy Watson. To make your hair look glossy and full of shine, apply a hair serum to damp hair and finish with a shimmer spray. You will look made for Chelsea in no time.

* Curly locks: The Chelsea girls love a head full of curls. To achieve Rosie Fortescue's wavy look, apply a curl balm to damp hair and comb through. This will lock in moisture and provide the perfect base to style.

Style your hair wavy by using curling tongs and spritz on some curl spray to define and separate curls for a frizz-free finish.

* Colour: To keep your hair looking true to its colour like Jamie's bright blonde mane or Louise Thompson's chocolate brown locks, use hair products which are tailored for your specific colour.

- Try shampoos and conditioners that will have special colour enhancing ingredients for a colour boost.

* The Proudlock bun: Steal Oliver Proudlock's individual style by sporting a bun. Keep hair short at the sides and longer on the top. Pull the longer hair together towards the back of your head and secure it with a bobble. Finish with some hair spray to keep the bun in place.
