UPDATE: The Daily Mail reported later in the day that what was believed to be an extension clip was actually a scar, Kate’s hair is apparently as full and luscious as ever. Get the full scoop here.
Even princesses sometimes need that little extra boost. Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton hosted her first solo event for charity In Kind Directlast night in London, filling in for father-in-law Prince Charles, who was suddenly called away to Saudi Arabia.
Middleton pulled together a gorgeous look despite the short notice, in a glamorous pale aqua gown and with her hair in a half up half down style. On closer inspection, we noticed a little something poking through the Duchess’ hairline: yes, it was most definitely a clip-in hair piece to add some oomph to her envious brown locks!
As the Daily Mail reported in detail, the specific type rocked by Kate are called weft extensions, and are a temporary strip of hair that has little clips or combs attached, often used to add more volume to an updo on a big day and then taken out before going to bed.
The busy princess has no doubt been stressed with her many engagements and constant media scruntiny since marrying Prince William. We are all for adding in a little bit extra to help you out if you feel your hair is thinning. However, Kate has forgotten the number one rule of extensions: never let anyone see them!
What do you think about using clip-ins for an important event? Are you a fan of them, or are you anti-extensions? Is showing your extensions embarrassing, or no big deal? Let us know what you think!
I don’t think she is wearing extensions – read thats a scar from her childhood. That being said – even if they are hair extensions – what is the big deal – she is beautiful regardless. Hair extensions are great – literally takes 5 minutes to have a different hairstyle. A great site that has different types of hair extensions is http://www.vividhairextensions.com – we can all look as beautiful as Kate!!!

It is a scar, not extensions would not be put so close to the hair line.
do a little more research next time! that is a scar she has had since childhood.
Yes, this is old news that keeps cropping up again and again. It is a childhood scar, and sometimes it is visible in certain photographs. Leave it to the gossips and the buzzkills to keep bringing it up. She does not wear extensions. Her hair is thick and beautiful without them!
i am not into hair extensions.. BUT they look great on some women…like Kate..

That is her scar from a surgery when she was a child. Its been talked about before- like last year when it showed up in the same kind of haIrstyle. You really should do your research before making yourselves look uneducated, providing false information!!
Hellooooo– do your research. That is a well documented scar from a childhood incident.
Thank you all for giving the uneducated a slap in the face, I was not aware of the surgery. Yes she is under a lot of pressure & handling it great. I wish I was able to transmit this to her directly. Aside from being a very attractive & gracious young lady, she is smart. Keep going Lady Kate
