Hair Color Change Tolerance: Moderate. She is most often blonde, but she has tried out brunette.

Wigs, Weaves, & Extensions: Likely. Though Kate’s hairstylists don’t announce when they use extensions, she likely does. For example, Kate was photographed the day before the photo to the right was taken with hair that fell just a bit beyond her shoulders. This ponytail falls to her mid-back.
