You don't have to be the Duchess of Cambridge to have Kate Middleton hair. Check out these tips to recreate her hairstyles without needing to go to a salon. From her perfect mid-length blowout to her stylish, elegant updos, read on to get inspired and find the best Kate Middleton haircut or style for you.
The Chelsea Blowout
Coined by the UK Press, the "Chelsea Blowout" is Kate's signature look. To get this hairstyle, start by brushing your hair with an anti-static brush. Add volume by spraying your roots with a volumizing spray. Then, blow-dry your hair at a low speed while making sure your roots get the most heat. Using a boar bristle brush, dry your hair while simultaneously adding shine and finish your hair off with velcro rollers.
The Princess-Perfect Ponytail
This simple wrapped ponytail is great for any occasion. First, spray in some dry shampoo and brush out any tangles. Separate the top section of your hair to tease while you gather the rest of your hair into a ponytail at about mid-height. Curl the ends of your ponytail and wrap a small strand around your hair-tie, securing it with pins.
The Twisted Sailor Knot Half-Updo
This is easier than it looks! Simple yet unique is one of the glorious things about Kate Middleton hair. All you have to do is twist a half-pony and pin it in place.
The Braided Updo
Nothing beats elegant braids or a chic updo, but Kate Middleton proves that they work best when combined. To recreate this look, begin by parting your hair down the middle and French braiding both sides. Add a powder to enhance the grip of the braids and slightly loosen them. Pin the braids into a low bun and finish with some hairspray.
The Pinwheel Half-Updo
This is one of the most versatile versions of Kate Middleton's hair. After you gather your hair into a half-ponytail, twist three sections of your half-pony into a loose rope braid and pin the ends. Curl the rest of your hair with a 1 1/2-inch curling iron and brush it out gently.
The Side Chignon
The Side Chignon is sexy, classy and sophisticated. To wear it, create a deep side-part and section off your hair behind your ears. Backcomb some of your roots near the top for a more dramatic effect. With a hairband and two kirby grips, pin one into the hair and use the band to create a ponytail, securing the ends with the other grip. Finally, separate the ponytail and tie the sections into a knot.
The Wedding Demi
For her royal wedding, Princess Catherine wore a demi-chignon underneath her veil. This hairstyle is a mixture of the half-updo and chignon above, and it looks fabulous with accessories.
The Pearl-pinned Bun
Speaking of accessories, who could forget this ingenious hairstyle?
The Sweeping Fringe
A natural look is best for getting Kate Middleton hair. If you have a fringe, curl it for an elegant effect and match it by using a flat iron to curl the ends of your hair.
