Kate Middleton sports blonde highlights ahead of her royal tour

This is the blondest she's ever been.

When the Duchess of Cambridge made her auburn debut in September, it marked one of the lightest hair colors we'd ever witness on Kate Middleton. Usually, the mother-of-three stays within the medium brown to dark brown shade range. Though going lighter is normally a summer trend, the royal beauty is officially dancing to the beat of her own drum. Recently, Kate stepped out sporting blonde highlights during her visit to the Aga Khan Centre.

Since going lighter requires a bit more maintenance than other hair colors, having a particular hair regimen is a must. Whether you’re already a blonde or you're thinking of going to the lighter side, you’ll need to protect those strands with the best blonde-approved hair care on the market.
