The world has always had a love affair with the Princess of Wales and her incredible thatch of hair. The 42-year-old is known for her tumbling, cascading rich brunette locks and when we saw her last month, it was actually longer than ever.

One of the biggest hair trends for Autumn 2004 is the fringe and back in 2015, Kate rocked a truly voluminous one which really suited her.

She also wore her locks down and flowing to the Anna Freud Centre a few weeks later, alongside a houndstooth print dress, and we think she looked like a 60s siren.

Kate’s hair is envied all over the world

When Kate and William announced their engagement in 2010, everyone picked up on Kate’s stunning, lightly curled hair, which was nicknamed the ‘Chelsea blowdry’. It was created by stylist Richard Ward at the time, and it officially brought ‘big hair’ back.
