The 27-year-old, who has been sensationally dropped as a judge on the US X Factor, says she was happy with the bouffant locks she sported on the first day of auditions for the talent competition.
The Geordie beauty told British Look magazine: 'I love that style. I felt really glamorous with it.
'The bigger the better I always say, the higher the hair, the closer to heaven. I can do it myself after all these years of practice.'
Cole also admits she does her own eyebrows.
She added: 'I always do my eyebrows myself, plucking and shaping them. I have to keep on top of them - I can't really grow them out so that I can get them done professionally because I'm on the TV. I'm dark and the hairs really show.'
