Princess Leonor has become one of the most prominent figures of royalty, and not only for her impeccable role in official events or her charisma, but also for her enviable hair.
At almost 19 years old, Leonor has demonstrated a constant care of her hair, sporting a long, shiny and perfectly manicured mane in every public appearance.
Since she was a child, both Leonor and her sister, the Infanta Sofia, have been admired for their voluminous, well-maintained blonde hair.
Unlike her mother, Queen Letizia, who has undergone riskier style changes over the years, Leonor has remained faithful to her signature long hair. The secret? Constant maintenance with quality products that keep her hair hydrated, frizz-free and with a healthy texture.
To delve deeper into the care that the princess follows, the Spanish website Lecturas consulted Alberto Sanguino, education manager of Llongueras, who shared some of the secrets that Leonor applies inside and outside the home to keep her hair in perfect condition.
Princess Leonor’s hair beauty tips
Unique haircut and style
Leonor sports an XL mane that falls to chest length, with a softly parted cut in the front for movement.
Sanguino explains that this style follows the “butterfly trend” and that a slight layer creates a subtle sense of volume, adapting to the movement of her hair.
Natural color with a touch of light
Over the years, Leonor’s hair has darkened, a natural process that occurs in many people with blonde hair.
However, Sanguino suggests that she may be enhancing her tone with baby lights, very fine highlights on the contour that give her face a natural luminosity, enhancing the freshness of her look.
Soft waves for a natural finish
Leonor has demonstrated versatility in her hairstyles, although her most flattering look, according to Sanguino, is a soft wave in the mid-lengths and ends.
This effect is achieved with a large mold or brush, and provides an elegant and natural gesture that complements her youthful style.
Essential care to maintain a healthy mane
A long mane like Leonor’s requires specific care to keep it healthy and looking good. Here are Sanguino’s tips for perfect XL hair:
Avoid excessive heat: To avoid damage, Leonor limits the use of blow dryers and flat irons, always using a heat protector when she uses them. This allows her hair to stay free of split ends and frizz, preserving its natural shine.
Nighttime protection: During the night, constant rubbing against the pillow can wear her hair down. The princess often braids her mane before bedtime, preventing tangles and keeping it soft.
Daily brushing: Although many overlook the importance of a good brushing, this habit keeps Leonor’s hair soft, shiny and elastic. It also prevents breakage and helps her mane maintain its volume and shape.
Constant hydration: Healthy hair needs to be well moisturized. Leonor uses conditioners and masks that provide softness and prevent knots, as well as giving her hair the extra moisture it needs to keep it shiny and silky.
