Blonder, more youthful and more modern. We spoke to several hairdressers about what Kate Middleton's latest makeover means
It has been a long time since we saw her change her hairstyle, but a few days ago the Duchess of Cambridge surprised us with a new image of her. Guillermo de Inglaterra's wife has decided to join the trend of lighting her hair and she has opted for a much more blond color than she is accustomed to. "Of course, the big bet has been the change of color. The cut continues to be very faithful to what she always wears," says Eduardo Sánchez, director of Maison Eduardo Sánchez. "Because of the formal life she has and because she also likes updos, wearing that length of hair suits her very well. Straight base with a slight gradient at the ends. This new color suits her very well, gives her a lot of light, It gives it dynamism ... It looks quite pretty, more modern and more modern, "he adds.
In we have spoken with several hairdressers who have given us her opinion about what Kate's latest look change means, that it seems that she is experiencing a time of changes when it comes to her beauty codes. "She is fortunate regarding the hairstyles and colors that she can wear. With her oval face, features, profile, height, body measurement ... everything looks good on her", says Anthony Llobet, TRESemmé ambassador stylist, who thinks that: "The hair she wears now is perfect for her. Her new dark golden blonde color with highlights of light golden blonde is very flattering to her face and skin."
Javier Iglesias, technician and trainer at Redken, goes one step further and affirms that the Duchess "has had a hair contouring performed, globally lightening her hair and illuminating her facial oval." While Eva Milla, from Eva Milla Estilista de Pamplona, explains that "only the front part of the hair has been lightened. From the roots, lighter to the ends. The technique they have used is a reverse balayage, which gives a lot of light". The same is the opinion of the stylist Jesús de Paula, who usually works with Blanca Suárez or Aitana Ocaña, and who is an ambassador for Wella and ghd: "For my taste, he has won in many ways. I see a balayage or a very high color gradient , in more neutral golden and brown tones that give it a lot of light. Since she has more winter skin, that tone brings summer to her skin. It is very successful because it gives light, a more modern point to her looks, than always They tend to be more restrained, and in the end it is a color and a length that goes very well with your favorite hairstyles, since it always usually goes with collected or loose hair. It gives that touch of freshness, modernity ... and a more on-trend effect, it wouldn't even hurt if it were cut a little more.
For Cristina Perez de Divinité, in Madrid, the technique that she has been able to use has been a natural mud bath at the beginning to naturally dye certain gray hair and at the same time give that wick effect. "The result is very natural. In the frontal area it has been possible to use some lighter coloration to give that light effect that they have achieved," she explains.
"Kate Middleton has lightened her hair through a work of highlights, soft reflections that rejuvenate and soften her face. This new hair tone favors her because it gives her luminosity and freshness, highlights her eyes and gives her a touch more cool. To lighten dark or chestnut hair, we can use balayage-type highlights that gradually and naturally bring clarity to the hair ", says Daniele Sigigliano, creative director of Blow Dry Bar Madrid. Reyes, an expert colorist at the HairKrone Lagasca salon, also applauds his change of look: "Due to the shape of the face, cuts that carry degradation favor it and can give movement to the hair giving it a more youthful appearance. As for the color change, I think that her colourist has succeeded in achieving a lightening effect that makes her features softer and they have also made a babylights effect to bring luminosity to her face. "
Of course, the new hair tone may have a negative point for the Duchess of Cambridge, as Gema Eguiluz, Salon In-Viso stylist tells us: "It surprises me in her because she has always worn her natural tone. unclear and will create a certain dependency. I personally would have done a work of tricolor, degraded highlights, respecting her natural background, giving a lot of light to the hair and more prominence, but obviously, she is very beautiful ".
