The Princess of Wales' incredible mane of hair is one of the most stunning things about the gorgeous royal. It's shiny, long, in immaculate condition, looks great up or down, and above all, is incredibly thick.
Hair shedding is something that happens to many women throughout their lives, normally as a result of a change in hormonal reproduction. But the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis has always kept her hair intact. Gosh, we wish we knew her secrets!
The brunette royal does have a few styling tricks up her sleeve though, and one of them is one she uses sporadically - the side parting.

Coupled with a bit of dry shampoo, and you're left with hair that looks bigger and denser.

The royal joined her husband, Prince William, at the Guards Polo Club for the Royal Charity Polo Cup 2023. Looking as radiant as ever, Kate rocked an ultra summery blue Beulah London midi dress and heels, as well as a matching pastel Mulberry bag.

At Wimbledon a year later, Kate brought her hair game as she headed to centre court to watch the men's final. Looking picture-perfect in her purple dress by Safiyaa as she graced the Royal Box, her mane was flowing and full.

I loved how she went with a fresh and elegant blow-dry that bounced with an underneath bend.

Tucking her hair behind the ears for more of a clean look with the neckline of the dress to create a polished finish."
