Get the latest Middleton look

The Duchess of Cambridge has become a style icon in recent times, despite, or perhaps because, she doesn’t slavishly follow fashion. As a result, she has produced her own look that ladies the length of Britain have strived to recreate and her glossy blowout hair is just one of her trademarks.

She has added a fringe to the look in recent weeks, a look that became popular last year with some of the major fashion houses in New York Fashion Week; but the core glossy blowout look is still intact and all Kate’s.

So have you ever wondered if you could recreate that look and give yourself celebrity style in the comfort of your own home? Well, if you have healthy hair with a good amount of volume then yes, you can. Even if you weren’t blessed with a luscious head of hair, you can still give your do a lift and achieve something close to Kate’s modern twist on 80s glamour.

If you want to really go for broke, head to the salon, as a stylist will be able to achieve results that are simply beyond most of us. Subtle use of colour can also add a real dimension to this style and give a layered look that will bring Hollywood to your home.

Follow these simple steps for the Middleton look:

1. Use a towel to dry your hair and apply a volumising mousse while it’s still wet.
2. Wrap your hair, in small sections, around a round brush and blow-dry it.
3. Keep the dryer facing down to avoid flyaway frizz and keep tension in your hair, pulling through and blow-drying as you go to achieve the volume required for this touch of royal glamour.
4. When you’ve done all this, your hair might still be all over the place, but don’t give up. This is the time for the magic touch that brings it all together. Mon Platin Black Caviar 12 in 1 hair cream, applied from halfway down the hair to the tips, will bring wayward hair into place and give you the look you want.
