Are you: wavy on one side like the Duchess of Sussex…
1. The professional’s analysis
“Meghan is always at the forefront of fashion and this hairstyle is both ultra-feminine and very current” analyzes Sylver Boll. “The trick to avoiding the vintage effect of this hairstyle is to make a low parting on the side. This releases more mass from loose lengths, an opulence which adds to the sophistication. As for the slicked side close to the skull, it accentuates asymmetry which is trendy Finally, the hair remains natural, with a hairstyle as if you just jumped out of bed, which avoids the Hollywood look.”
2. Instructions for use
We first smooth the material with a classic blow-dry. Then we draw a line on one side, which starts at two-thirds of the eyebrow. With the wide part held using large pliers, we place the small side of the head. To do this, apply fixing spray to a fine-toothed comb, which you pass over the roots between the forehead and the ear while folding the lengths at the back. We go over it twice to thoroughly soak the hair and remove volume. Then we arrange all the lengths on the other side.
Using the curler, take strand by strand (approximately 3 cm wide) with the device tilted downwards, for a natural fall. With the hair wound on the iron with just the tip out, wait thirty to forty seconds. Then without undoing, we loop the next strand. Once the entire head is complete, relax by running your hands along its lengths: the effect of loose movement is there.
On top, sprinkle texturizing powder before delicately spreading the notches with your finger for natural volume. To finish, we spray a fixing lacquer 20 centimeters away so as not to stick.

… or arty bun like the Princess of Wales?
1. The professional’s analysis
“This bun is classic in essence but its contemporary interpretation with a slightly undone texture makes it cool” believes Sylver Boll. “It’s totally in line with Kate’s image, both very elegant but with a rebellious side.”
2. Instructions for use
On towel-dried hair, spread a tangerine of volumizing mousse over the entire mass with a wide-toothed comb: this coats the fiber and gives it volume when drying. To keep your hair soft (like Catherine’s) and not too tame, dry it with a diffuser. Really stiff people will do a relaxed blow-dry first. Because an opulent bun makes it more feminine.
After having drawn a part in the middle, we divide his head into two parts along a line going from the top of the skull to both ears. We lift the rear wick with large pliers. Then we smooth the two large front strands into a headband passing behind the ear to secure them together at the bottom of the neck. With this low ponytail thus obtained, we create a first low bun. Then we style the large rear lock by tying it in a ponytail above the first bun, before also transforming it into a bun: this gives a lot of volume to the back of the head.
We attach each time using pins. You can vary it and make a braid rather than a ponytail which you then wrap into a crown. Be careful, however, to balance the masses at the rear. Once everything is set, spray with a shine spray which gives a glossy effect and highlights wild locks, before fixing with a fine hairspray.
