8 Kate Middleton Hairstyles Perfect For All of Your Summer Affairs

On July 3, we freaked when we saw pictures of Kate sporting seriously shorter locks at Wimbledon. The Kob (Kate Lob) went viral. To wear this style, use a two-inch wand to curl hair away from your face.

There's no need to explain why this is Kate's signature style — just look at this picture from April 20! This is pulled-together perfection that serves glam for breakfast (of tea and crumpets, of course!). The "Chelsea blowout" was created by Richard Wood, Kate's go-to stylist for over a decade. To imitate it, dry your hair in sections. Then, pull hair taunt and place in velcro rollers to create texture. Be sure to twist the rollers as you take them out, as that creates the "bouncy" effect.

This is an example of a princess thinking on her feet! In June 2016, Kate attended America's World Cup Series. She wore her hair down, but it was a windy day. The weather led to Kate pulling off what was perhaps the chicest quick half-up ever attempted. It looks like the Duchess's front layers were pulled back from each side and pinned symmetrically behind her head.

This low pony from February 14 is easy to re-create, but it helps if you start from a blowout because that's what gives you the most bounce. Pull your hair into a low pony like normal, but save one of the strands to wrap and pin around the base.

On April 5, Kate wore this breathtaking bun, which works best for more formal events, when you want to keep your hair out of your face.

For this ethereal May 3 look (which she wore to a farm!), Kate styled another half-up from wavy hair. This one is placed higher on the head, giving her a crown-like look.

While touring an art gallery on May 29, Kate took the low bun to new heights.

Kate turned the voluminous, retro-inspired chignon of the late-aughts (think Anne Hathaway circa 2008) on its head by reversing it.
