THE KATE MIDDLETON BLOWJOB

NOT THAT ONE YOU DIRTY PEOPLE! (probably the only post that will ever attract a male audience). The Kate Middleton blow dry has become something of an obsession for some women. Her long silky locks are always immaculate and as we all know, her signature look is ''fresh from the hairdresser blow drys''. I'll put this out there, I am in no way a Kate fanatic - I just like her hair. I think she's been oversold now by the press, but she seems a nice lady.

Back to the hair. For my birthday, my boyfriend's mum kindly bought me a ''WAHL hot air styler'', designed to make blowdrying your own hair into waves much easier (otherwise I look somewhat inept trying to do it with a hair dryer, arms everywhere!). It's a great little tool, which did take a while to get used to but I had a play around with different ways of styling it and I've come to love it.

To get a nice wavy blowdry I start by rubbing some volumising mousse into my roots (Vo5 does the job) then pin the top section of my hair back so I can start drying the hair underneath, makes it much easier this way.
This type of thing.

Then you can start by taking a section of hair about an inch wide and combing through it using the medium heat. The higher heat is good for doing straight blow drys but it doesn't give you much time to style before it dries so I always use medium heat for this look.



When you feel the hair starting to dry, roll it all the way up to your roots.


It will dry very quickly like this so to achieve the curl, gently unravel it from the brush by slowly pulling it downwards, loosening it at the same time.


It's hard to show this stage by photos but it should give you some idea. You basically have to repeat this all around your head and once the underneath sections are done, do the same on the top but instead of pulling the brush down to release the curl, pull it upwards to ensure you keep the volume in your roots. Do what you want with your fringe. I usually dry mine to the side for this look but you could curl your fringe if you're into that :)
HAIRSPRAY! No I havn't just remembered that movie, give your curls some longevity by spraying them with a strong hold spray. Then rock up to one of Kate's public appearences and be like ''bitch sit down'', it's all about me now.

Yeeeah...



Hope this helps you ladies, more posts to come over the weekend :) xx
