Kate Middleton



The eyes of the world were focused on the beautiful Catherine 'Kate' Middleton on Friday as she married our Prince William. We waited with baited breath to see THE dress and, of course, her hair and now we can show you how to copy Kate!

Our future queen looked simplistically stunning as she made her first appearance to the world on her royal wedding day. Personally, I was hoping for her to go for a half up and half down style - and she did. She has a gorgeous, almost porcelain doll-like face which should be framed and shown off with her fabulous hair.

It was perfect, and set off beautifully by the historic diamond encrusted tiara. Her hair was curled softly, showing off her length and shine.

Here's how to do complete the pretty, delicate and classic style of Catherine:
• For a set style like Kate's, it is best to wash and blowdry your hair in the morning. It gives you a shine all day and helps with the volume.

• For a heavy tiara, you need a good foundation on the crown of the hair. Section off the whole crown area, creating a side parting on the right. Secure with pins, or a band, always wrapping a small section of hair around to disguise the band.

• Now, take sections from the back first, about one inch in length and backcomb carefully. After each section spray with a firm hold gel spray.
 
Don't use hairspray as it is difficult to brush through later on.

• Once your section is backcombed, using a bristle padded brush, begin to smooth lightly over from front to back again. Kate had a medium height to her front section - just enough to see above the tiara.

• Fix in place with grips, using the same colour as your hair and pinning them into your foundation to disguise.

• Now, curl the remaining hair. Kate wore loose curls, so I would suggest velcro rollers. Using a medium size roller, take each (dry) section of hair and spray with gel spray. Blast with a hot setting on your hairdryer for a few minutes and leave to completely cool before taking out.

• Using a straightener will also give you the same look, just clamp the hair a quarter of the way down from the root, twist the irons 90º and slide towards the ends. The quicker you do this movement, the looser the curl.

• Do the same with the top section and run your fingers through the curls. Use a final misting of gel spray and you are ready to marry your prince!

• The perfect hairdo for one's fairytale royal wedding.
