You can get Kate’s look with just a bit of practice and these easy steps.

  • Start with a natural, salon-grade volumizing shampoo and conditioner (ask your stylist for a recommendation). This will give your hair the volume and thickness and keep it conditioned.
  • To make your hair easier to manage, section it into four sections.
  • Spray your hair with a volumizing spray (again, consult your stylist – don’t skimp for products they sell at supermarkets) and blow dry it. Slightly curl the ends under to give it a finished look.
  • Curl with a curling rod into soft curls all over.
  • Create a small French braid at the temple to keep the look soft and neat.
  • Spray with a light hold finishing spray and then scrunch for a tousled easy look.
  • Finish your look with a glossing spray for maximum shine.

You stylist can recommend professional products to keep your hair looking its best this summer.
