Kate’s look is all about having the hair in the best condition possible. Start with a volumizing spray. Apply it in small sections to achieve optimal root lift.

According to Ward, the biggest mistake a lot of people make is to shake the hairdryer at the hair, which makes it frizzy (and Kate is always frizz-free!).

Another important tip is to make sure you’re using a real bristle brush.

The blowout works best when the hair is 75-80 percent wet, which means you have to take 20 percent of the wet away before you start. To do that, dry the hair gently at a low speed.

Lift the hair at the root and "rough dry" it in a controlled way — and most importantly, always use a nozzle!

Kate’s look has to be achieve using rollers — each section of the hair is individually rolled. When you put the roller in, tightly roll the hair by lifting the hair up.

Be sure to twist the hair around your fingers when removing rollers and lightly apply hairspray along the hairline. Blow dry at a low speed.
