Cheryl Cole reveals her beauty and hair secrets

Cheryl Cole has revealed her beauty and fitness secrets.

The former Girls Aloud and X Factor star told FeelUnique.com what kept her hair glossy and her figure toned.

She said: "I'm really good at using weekly hair masks to keep [my hair] in good condition. I went away for my birthday and didn't use a mask as often as I normally would and I really noticed the difference. It's just something you've got to do."

On food, Cheryl, 30, said: "I don't follow any strict diets, I just eat sensibly. I'm not eating McDonald's or pizza every day, but I do allow myself one cheat day a week, normally on a Sunday.

"I have a really sweet tooth and love cupcakes, doughnuts and basically anything that's really bad for you."

Cheryl admitted she was more strict when it came to exercise: "I'm still doing the Tracy Anderson Method, I swear by it. I see a trainer and they change the programme after every 10 sessions, you have to keep your body guessing. I also use the DVD at home."
