“Kate is a beautiful woman and I wanted to expand on her already famous locks and try something new, fun and whimsical, Slater tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Kate was excited and gave me carte blanche to experiment and create a new look. As a mother of 8 children, you don’t always have time to style your hair and this was the perfect opportunity to show a different look for Kate.”
