There's a reason Kate Middleton's hairstyles are so classic; unlike other celebrities, she isn't allowed to experiment much with color, cut, or texture thanks to the neat and natural rule. This means, sadly, that you're not going to see Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, rocking a bright or unnatural hair color (though she does reportedly get it dyed regularly to cover any grays), dramatic ombre, side shave, or even temporary, throwback crimped locks (via Bright Side).
If you thought that was tough, keep in mind that this "neat" stipulation applies constantly, not just to formal events. In other words, even buns and ponytails on weekend mornings need to be tidy and natural. If you'd like proof, google "Kate Middleton ponytail" and you'll see that even in the most casual settings, the ponytail of a duchess usually has a section of hair wrapped around the hair tie is smooth and sleek all the way from roots to ends. So, sadly, you can royal-wave goodbye to your favorite quick, messy hairstyle if you're going to be following these rules.
