There's one thing that springs to mind when we think of Kate Middleton: her insanely bouncy blow-dry. Seriously - her signature locks will go down in history as some of the silkiest on record. We've been tirelessly attempting to achieve the same shine and volume since she started dating Prince William circa 2001.
So, it was music to our ears when we found out that the Duchess of Cambridge uses a £30 (!) hair product from one of our favourite beauty brands to tame pesky frizz and fly-aways. It hydrates the hair, makes it more manageable for optimum styling and leaves locks feeling smoother than ever. Interested?
The product in question is Kiehl's Creme with Silk Groom™ - a non-greasy styling cream recommended for frizzy, dry or damaged hair that helps to condition and soften your locks.
Ahead of the royal visit to Norway and Sweden back in 2018, Kate's hairdresser, Amanda Cook Tucker, shared a photo of the countless brushes, tools and cans of hair spray she will was taking with her on the tour and this bad boy made the cut.
Best applied to damp hair after showering (you should rub a small amount of the product into your hands before gently working through the ends of your hair), the effective formula adds shine and makes hair styling much more manageable. It leaves hair smooth, hydrated and conditioned - no matter your hair's texture.

There are three main ingredients that work to achieve the above. 1) Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, 2) Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and 3) Jojoba Oil. Hydrolyzed Soy Protein is a protein of vegetable origin - produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of soya flour. It's often used in skincare products to smooth pores and minimise the appearance of roughness and wrinkles. It has a similar, smoothing effect on the hair. The Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein - also known as Phyto Peptides - is an ingredient that helps to condition and moisturise the hair. Lastly, Jojoba Seed - traditionally used in skincare by both Mexicans and Native Americans - is known for its nurtuirng and softening properties.

Kiehl's recommend that for best results, you should use the Creme with Silk Groom alongside their Amino Acid Shampoo - one of the best shampoos we've tried - and the Amino Acid Conditioner. Both products contain a beautiful blend of Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil and Amino Acids to strengthen hair and leave it looking glossier. Sold? Same.
Consider your hair royally silky.
