Women across the UK have been left with covered fringes and longer locks than usual because the hairdressers have been locked up during the closure, and the Duchess of Cambridge is no different.
Kate Middleton, 39, showed noticeably longer hair during her most recent virtual engagement.
Her brunette lock fell over her left shoulder as she chatted Thursday with nurses from Coventry University Hospitals and Warwickshire NHS Trust via a video link to learn about her work and thank them for their effort.
The duchess, who is locked up with her family at Anmer Hall in Norfolk, is setting an example by getting her hair done and letting her style grow, celebrity stylist James Johsnon explained.

Shorter style: The Duchess of Cambridge had a shorter, shorter style in October when she visited students at Derby University. A stylist said Kate “sets an example”
“Fewer cuts have given her hair time to grow and grow, and certainly having less style has encouraged them to look healthy,” she told Femail.
“Like many right now, I think the lock has forced many to try new styles they wouldn’t normally do before, as longer hair goes well for them.
“Less movement and blinking are on trend, proving again why it’s a hair icon.”
The Duchess of Cambridge’s hair looked longer before Christmas, but she wore it in voluminous curls that made it look shorter than it was.

The Duchess of Cambridge looked business ready for the video call with NHS staff on Tuesday, wearing a crisp white shirt under a classic blazer.
In keeping with the “less-is-more” style approach, Kate kept her accessories simple and added a delicate necklace and a pair of simple earrings.

During the call, Kate heard the poignant story of an elderly nurse holding the hand of a dying patient and playing her favorite band Bon Jovi after his wife was unable to get to her bed.
Kate praised Vasu Lingappa for moving “further” and shared a lighter moment with the NHS worker who joked that the patient’s wife had wanted him to sing the rock band’s hits, but declined because of her strong Asian accent. .
She called the Queen’s Sandringham estate on Tuesday, after the monarch ceded the residence to her and Prince William as a working base during the closure.
Currently, the large Norfolk estate is empty, as the monarch and Prince Philip are in Windsor to close them and it is not open to the public.
The Duke and Duchess reside on the road with their children in the 10-room Anmer Hall, but have set up a small temporary office with their staff in Sandringham.

Dressed in a sleek black blazer paired with a white blouse, Kate, 39, spoke to nurses at Coventry University Hospitals and Warwickshire NHS Trust via a video link (at the top) to find out the their work and thank them for their effort during the pandemic.
During the call, Mr Lingappa, a local doctor, told the Duchess: “A lot of people are dying and we usually have families around them during the last hour, but we can’t.
“And if I may give you a small example, we had a gentleman and unfortunately he was dying, so we talked to his wife and she said,‘ I can’t come see him, but you can make sure do you sing Bon Jovi and hold his hand? ‘.
“And I said,‘ If I sing Bon Jovi with my accent. It wouldn’t be appropriate. “So I took out my phone and played a YouTube video of Bon Jovi and took his hand.
He went on to say, “It’s been tough, but as I said before, I’m surrounded by amazing people with a lot of skills and inspiring stories.
“We’re nurses (some) who work in critical care for 30 years, 35 years, 40 years, so there’s nothing they haven’t seen, but that’s unprecedented.”
After hearing the emotional story, Kate told the nurses, “You hear over and over about the amazing things nurses all over the country do: keep doing that extra mile.
“These are the things that, you know, are not part of the training and the things that are taught to you, but the things that come from your heart.
“I think that’s what matters so much now, these acts of kindness to the patients you’re caring for, who are in your care, that family members can’t be there, but you’re doing an extra mile and being there . ”
