Kate Middleton's Bridal Hairstyle



Kate Middleton's hair hasn't always looked this good. Photographs of the future princess and budding style icon taken during her college years featured lackluster, wind-tousled hair that was more "sleepy student" than "sexy princess-to-be." Kate's hair has undoubtedly gone through a dramatic transformation over the years. Kate is now nearly always photographed with what Glamour Magazine dubbed as "basically perfect" hair. Her long, chestnut locks look naturally shiny, bouncy, and soft. Her current hairstyle (and most famous one) features long layers, with the ends softly curling upwards, and lots of volume and shine.

For her wedding day, Kate apparently doesn't want to mess with perfection (I wouldn't either). According to The Daily Mail, Richard Ward, Kate's hairstylist, Kate will wear her hair down on her wedding day. "100 percent down and flowy," is how Ward put it. A certain Mr. Pryce, who works at Richard Ward's salon in Chelsea and who styled Kate's hair for her engagement photos, will be doing Kate's hair again for the wedding, while Ward himself will style Carole, Kate's mother, and Pippa, Kate's sister and maid-of-honor.

Although it seems at first glance that Kate is not that adventurous, fashion-wise, preferring casual, tailored clothing and simple sheaths, the fact that she chose to wear her hair in such an unorthodox (among the members of the Royal family) way hints that her wedding dress may be a bit avant garde as well!

So how do you get Kate Middleton's amazing hair? If your Mum or Dad gave you the genetic gift of long, thick, healthy brunette hair, it'll be a cinch. Or at least it will be if you're already skilled in the fine art of blow-drying to begin with. If you can't spare the time or the effort but can spare some cash, Richard Ward's salon in London is accepting appointments. Just remember to ask for "the Kate!" A cut and blow dry costs around £88. Expect their prices to go up after the wedding, though.
