It’s not just her wardrobe that captures attention; the Princess of Wales’ hair has become one of the most requested styles in salons across the UK. Hairstylists on Fresha, the world’s leading beauty and wellness booking platform, are sharing exactly what to ask for if you want to replicate her glossy, effortlessly polished look.
The Colour
The Princess of Wales wears a classic warm brunette with subtle caramel and honey-toned highlights. This isn’t a block colour; it’s a multi-dimensional brunette that catches the light naturally, with fine ribbons of lighter tones woven throughout the mid-lengths and ends. Think of it as a modern take on “bronde”, balancing rich chestnut with sun-kissed accents.
What to Ask For in the Salon
- Request a medium to dark brunette base with soft caramel balayage highlights.
- Ask for face-framing lighter pieces (also known as a money piece) around the front to brighten your complexion.
- Keep the tones warm, not ash, so the overall look feels healthy and glossy.
- A glossing treatment or toner should be added to give that mirror-shine finish the Princess is known for.
The Cut & Style
Her cut is a long, layered style with subtle shaping around the face. Layers are kept soft to maintain movement without losing thickness. For styling, a smooth blow-dry with a large round brush creates bounce and volume at the roots, while the ends are tucked into loose, polished waves.
Hair Stylists on Fresha say: “To keep this look fresh, book in for a toner every 6–8 weeks and a cut every 10–12 weeks. The key is shine, so never skip on a nourishing mask or salon glossing service.”
