Retro rolls: Copy Kate Middleton's half-up half-down curls at home:

She's not usually one for experimenting with her look but yesterday Kate Middleton stepped out with a new hairstyle.

Instead of her usual relaxed mane, the Duchess tried a chic half-up half-down style, backcombed on the top and the length teased into tight ringlets.

However, even the future queen can't escape the perils of the heat and humidity and the ringlets gradually dropped throughout the day into softer curls.

Kate, 32, showcased her new look at the Blessed Sacrament School in Islington, for an event around an addiction project she launched last year.

The style is believed to be the work of Kate's regular hairdresser, Amanda Cook Tucker, but if you don't have a royal stylist on speed dial, follow Nicky Clarke's tips for achieving her style at home.

GET THE LOOK 

Create an off balance centre parting coming diagonally back to the centre of your head, giving the look balance.

Take sections in the shape of diamonds and start at the face working backwards.

Take sections, comb through and wrap around a Nicky Clarke Mayfair Multistyler to about ear level. The barrel you use will depend on how big you want the curls, the smaller the barrel the tighter the curl.

Keep the curling tong horizontal at all times as this will give the look more width when curling, wrap around the barrel but keep the tong moving in a circular motion.

Leave the curls you have created loose in order to cool down.

Really work your fingers through your hair to separate the curls, adding a little bit of product to create shine.

Brush back the middle section of hair from the top of your head and pin at the back with kirby grips.

Spray a bit of hairspray on the tips of your fingers and make circular motions on the top of your head to add a little volume and make it look more lived in.
