Step-By-Step Guide to Achieving Royal Curls

NYC’s Mure Salon is revealing how to recreate the Duchess of Cambridge's barrel curls!

Kate Middleton was recently photographed paying her respects to those who had died in the war as part of Remembrance Sunday in Whitehall, London. Apart from her quilted buttoned-up Temperley London peacoat being the talk of the town, both the media and clients were buzzing about her beautiful, brunette barrel curls. This was one of her softer looks, yet elegant and glam and surprisingly easy to recreate. You can dress them up with a headband or hairpiece, or you can wear them casually with jeans and a t-shirt. 

Here is the Upper East side guide on recreating this regal look. 

Step 1: Blow-dry the hair upside down and away from the face with a paddle brush. For this look, it is vital to achieve root lift by blowing the hair up and off the face, as volume is key.

Step 2: Once your hair is completely dry, part your hair at your own preference. A side part is a flattering option for the majority of facial structures, whereas a middle part is trendy and really tends to fit faces that are more narrow and symmetrical.

Step 4: Divide the hair into two sections, separating the hair closer to the crown from the hair underneath. Secure the section of the hair that is closer to the crown with clips.

Step 5: Let the royal curling begin. For thick hair, use a curling iron with a two-inch barrel, and for fine hair use a one-inch barrel. Start at the temple and work your way towards the nape of the neck, taking diagonal sections and curling the hair away from the face. Make sure to let hair cool between each section, and refrain from touching the curls until the end. Repeat this step once you unpin the hair close to the crown of your head.

Step 6: Once you have finished curling, allow the hair to completely cool before gently pulling the curls to loosen them.
