Presenter Maya Jama has offered fans an unusual peek at her natural hair, which is unexpectedly short.

The Love Island host is famed for her fabulous looks both on and off the screen. Indeed, her hairdresser recently unveiled that an inexpensive stylish product creates her glossy tresses.

On July 15, the celebrity, who elegantly attended the Wimbledon Ladies' final, posted a hair tutorial, allowing her 3.2 million Instagram followers to see her natural hair length, a fashionable "lob" or long bob.

Before undergoing her self-crafted transformation, Maya exhibited her natural hair in an Instagram reel. She shared a comprehensive guide on crafting a straightened, layered look using her Beauty Works clip-in extensions set, joining ex-Love Islander Molly-Mae Hague in the collaboration.

To create the effortless look, she used several extension wefts made from "100% human hair", in the colour "Brownie Batter". The former BBC Radio 1 star swiftly went from shoulder-length locks to 18 inches of length, simply finished off with a hair straightener, reports the Mirror.

"And girls, look at it go," she rounded off the clip. The 18-inch hair set, available on the Beauty Works website for £256.99, comprises two full-length pieces, two three-clip pieces, and two one-clip pieces which can be comfortably fitted "in the comfort of your own home".

The website details: "Ready to apply, the new weft design delivers easy wear clip-in wefts with ultra-comfort for low maintenance commitment.

"Using 100% soft silky Remy human hair, expect high shine hair that looks and feels natural and effortlessly blends into your hairline."

The set is available in 20, 22 and 26 inch lengths, designed to "suit different hair thickness and lengths, ready to install at home".

It adds: "Delivering complete comfort, the ultra-lightweight weft band fits any head size comfortably and seamlessly, and it's damage-free."

Despite being recognised for her glossy dark tresses, the presenter has been known to experiment with her look, having been seen sporting a full fringe on multiple occasions.

It appears that the star has been using products from this brand for some time to switch up her style.

She announced the collaboration back in May. "The secrets out! These luscious locks haven't been my own for years!

"From the inches to the trademark fringe! It has been such a pleasure working with @beauty_worksonline on my collection," she posted on Instagram.
