    Kate Middleton has expressed concern that her perfectly coiffed hair may succumb to frizz as she continues on with the royal tour

    Kate Middleton rarely has a hair out of place, her big bouncy blow dry is synonymous with her name, but even she worries about having a bad hair day.

    As the Duchess of Cambridge greeted royal enthusiasts on the Singapore leg of the Diamond Jubilee royal tour she confessed she is worried that her beautiful barnet will fall victim to the humidity.

    The Kateadmirer told the MailOnline: ‘I asked her how she kept her hair so perfect in this weather, because it’s so humid. Mine always pouffes up.

    ‘She was afraid that her hair might be the same way in a few minutes. She said that her hair would pouffe up soon enough.'

    But in the event that Kate’s naturally curly locks do start to pouffe up she has enlisted the blow drying skills of royal hairdresser Amanda Cook Tucker, who has joined Kate and Prince William on their Far East trip.
