It's not often we see Kate's locks up, but in that amazing Jenny Packham dress that she wore to the Olympic Concert it had to be done. Here's how to get the look: Apply some Nicky Clarke Hair Raising Spray to the roots and mid-lengths of the hair. Dry with a vent brush lifting the hair in an upwards motion or, tip your head upside down to create lift at the roots.When hair is 95% dry, set in large Velcro rollers all over to add volume and movement. Take the rollers out once hair is completely dry and has a slight bend to it, this will help create the bun later.Then, taking a section from top of the ears straight across, put into a low slung ponytail. Use a bungee cord or a cover band to secure, then wrap and pin into a large bun. http://www.stylist.co.uk/beauty/the-stylist-hair-100
