\nSales of shiny hair products rocketed by 27 per cent after the announcement as girls nationwide rushed to copy her shimmering, sleek style, according to the Sun.
\nThey are likely to be boosted even further after her wedding on April 29 as MailOnline can exclusively reveal that Kate will be wearing her hair down on her big day.
\nFollowing her half-up-half-down hairstyle on Monday\u2019s official visit to Lancashire, speculation was rife that that was how she was going to wear her hair on her big day.
\nBut Kate\u2019s hairdresser Richard Ward has confirmed otherwise, telling fellow celebrity stylist, Sinead Kelly, that Kate\u2019s hair on her wedding day will \u2018100 per cent be down and flowy.\u2019
\nWard went on to say \u2018Every bride\u2019s hair on their wedding day should reflect their look throughout the year. Kate\u2019s such a natural girl, so no stuffy up-dos for her.\u2019
\nThe princess-in-waiting\u2019s famed chestnut locks will be styled by Mr Pryce, who works at the Richard Ward salon in Chelsea.
\nIt was Pryce who tended to Kate\u2019s locks for her engagement photos which were immediately beamed across the world.
\nMr Ward himself will style Kate\u2019s mother, Carole, and sister Pippa – who will be her maid of honour.
\nPryce charges ?50 for styling and ?88 for a cut and blow dry, but his prices are expected to increase dramatically after the Royal Wedding.
\nThe hair stylist, who has 15 years\u2019 experience, will be helped by a team of \u2018dressers\u2019 on the wedding day as Miss Middleton and her party get ready at the Goring Hotel just down the road from Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
