Let’s be honest: Kate
Middleton is pretty much perfect. Her skin, her outfits, her hair.
Especially her hair. She must have a fantastic stylist. If only one
could get her look at home. But surely not – it’s too perfect,
isn’t it? Well, actually, no. Behold – the quintessential guide
on how to get pretty, perfect Kate Middleton hair.
You will need: two hair
brushes (one large barrel brush – we recommend the 4-inch Spornette
Prego Ceramic Styling Brush on Folica.com – and one soft or
natural-bristle paddle brush, like the DENMAN Paddle Brush also
available from Folica.com), a root lift or volumizing spray like
Kiehl’s Super Thick Volumizer, a few bobby pins and a good hair
dryer (we like the Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer, available
from Folica.com, which produces millions of negative ions that
eliminate frizz to create sleeker hairstyles and healthier locks).
After washing your hair,
gather it into a high ponytail with one hand, and with the other,
create sections by taking a two inch thick portion from the underside
of the ponytail. Twist the rest of the ponytail out of the way for
the moment (you can pile it on top of your head after twisting the
length of it and pin it in place, if you like). Let the section you
just created fall, so you have a thin curtain of loose hair, and
spray the volumizing or root lift spray in a side-to-side motion over
your roots and the inch either side (on the curtain of hair and new
underside of the ponytail). Then create another section of hair in
the same way, continuing like this until you’ve repeated the
process for a total of four or five times. Now take your hair dryer
and blow dry the spray into your hair by just roughly raking your
fingers through your hair.
Once your hair is roughly
dry, go back to step one and create a section of hair. This time,
take your barrel brush and blow dry the whole length of the section,
keeping the hair dryer pointed down the shaft of the hair while
pulling the brush away from you. Once the hair is dry, wrap the
section around your fingers all the way up to the roots, and pin in
place. Continue to section your hair and repeat the process, working
up your head from the back of your hair until every section is curled
and pinned.
Once you’ve curled and
pinned every strand of hair, remove the pins and gently shake out the
curls. Then, take your paddle brush and brush through the entirety of
your hair. Style as desired (centre or side parting, etc.) and finish
with a touchable, medium hold hairspray like Moroccanoil Luminous
Hairspray. And voila! Welcome to the world of people with perfect
hair.
