Kate Middleton’s favourite salon reveals how you can get her signature bouncy blow dry at home

, who is a Premier Stylist at Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa, which is a stone’s throw away from Kensington Palace, told Fabulous how to do their “Chelsea blow dry” at home. 

The salon is responsible for many of Kate’s looks, and a stylist will go to her royal residence so she can have privacy. 

Elettra said: “The Chelsea Blow Dry is all about bounce and lashings of gloss, with lots of volume and movement through the ends.

“Products (if you have them at home), a decent hairdryer with a nozzle and round bristle brush are essential to making it look fabulous.”

To achieve the look, the hair professional said you need to apply a golf-ball size amount of volumising mousse to damp hair and brush through for even distribution. 

Then you need to start rough drying hair in a controlled way, lifting and heating roots with your fingers.

It’s important that you don’t shake the hairdryer about.

Next, use a medium-size round bristle brush to blow dry the hair smooth.

She advised using a medium-sized tong, take sections of hair from just under the ear and wrap around the barrel, away from your face. 

You need to then hold in place for a few seconds and release, before setting the hair in place with the cool shot on your hairdryer.
