Known for her impossibly long brunette mane and perfect undone waves, the princess has been inspiring hair envy since she joined the royal ranks after her marriage to Prince William in 2011.

Here are Kate Middleton’s Favorite Hair Products:
Kerastase Shampoo and Conditioning Treatments
Kerastase is Princess Kate’s go-to haircare range. When visiting her hairdresser in London, Kate will often receive deep conditioning treatments including power fusio-dose Kerastase rituals. To keep her hair healthy at home she uses the Kerastase Bain Satin range which includes a shampoo, conditioner and hair mask. Town and Country Magazine reported the princess also uses Kerastase Discipline Oleo Relax Anti-Frizz smoothing shampoo for extra bounce and shine.

On Princess Kate’s royal tour of Norway and Sweden, her hairdresser at the time Amanda Cook Tucker, revealed a bevy of beauty products she used to get Kate camera-ready. Among her coiffing cache was a snap of this smoothing and conditioning cream which helps add shine and increase hair manageability and movement. The unique non-greasy hair cream is perfect for Kate who has naturally wavy locks which can be prone to frizz.
How does Princess Kate keep her hair so long and full? Perhaps its thanks to this pricey but high performing brush.
