Earlier this week, Kate Middleton debuted a short new chop and bouncy bangs that left all of us speechless. We have been admiring/envying her flowing chestnut tresses for YEARS, so we were admittedly surprised to see her sporting such a *practical* style.

It turns out that’s exactly what she was going for. “It’s a practical style and a great option for a mom who has had long hair, who has a busy life and is short on time,” Middleton’s longtime hair stylist Richard Ward told People. “It’s much easier to look after and takes half the time to blow dry.”
Usually we’re all about fashion first, but to be fair, Kate Middleton is a mother of two AND a duchess with an agenda full of royal obligations. Our schedule probably isn’t half as busy as that and even we can barely find the time to wash and style our hair on a regular basis. (Dry shampoo is LIFE.)

Ain’t that the truth.
