What Kate Middleton's Hair Care Routine Might Entail, According To Experts
From conjectures about her use of hair extensions to remarks on her increasingly vibrant highlights that enhance the richness and complexity of her striking locks, specialists have provided a plethora of insights into the hair care routine of the mother of three.
Olia Cutz, the hair extension expert and founder of The Extensionist, revealed to HELLO! Magazine that Kate's iconic cascading waves might actually be the result of a subtle, almost invisible form of hair extension.
"If she does have extensions, she could have had individual strands of keratin bonds as you can hide them perfectly and no one will ever see them, even if you wear your hair up," the expert noted.
Michael Gray, the acclaimed hairstylist renowned for his work with John Frieda, also recently shared insights with the publication about the Princess's delicate blonde highlights.
"The Princess has introduced some subtle highlights in a balayage form to give the illusion of her hair being lighter and brighter for summer," he said.
The stylist added: "Still keeping the depth in places, along the parting, and underneath around her neckline where you can see the highlight pop subtly. I love the placement and how the hair hasn’t been lifted too much, for it to look bold or strikingly noticeable. Her hair is toned beautifully and it complements her base colour and skin tone, with a soft caramel shade."
