Britain's Duchess Camilla has reportedly urged Duchess Catherine to chop off her "bedraggled" hair.
The 66-year-old royal has reportedly advised the Duchess of Cambridge to have a shorter do and add a bit of colour to her locks after recent photographs showed it looking untidy.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Camilla has tried to help and advised her to go shorter and lighter.
"The royals always want to look smart and Catherine is letting the side down. She has looked bedraggled recently and it's not a good image."
However, in a recent survey, the 31-year-old royal - who was known as Kate Middleton before marrying Prince William in 2011 - had been voted the queen of hair, beating the likes of Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian to the crown.
A fifth (19 per cent) of women who took part in the poll chose the Duchess' long glossy locks as the winner, but the 'Drunk in Love' hitmaker followed closely behind with 16 per cent.
One participant said at the time: "Kate Middleton has beautiful hair. I'm sure she has her off days but we never see her without a hair out of place. Her hair looks great loose or in an elaborate up-do. I'd give anything to have hair like hers."
Duchess Camilla is the second wife of Prince William's father Prince Charles.

Britain's Prince William's godfather is selling his Highland mansion for £450,000.
The Duke of Westminster has put the 15-bedroom property - which was once used by Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana - in Sutherland, Scotland, on the market at the bargain price.
Gerald Grosvenor - who is Britain's richest landowner - had initially wanted to knock the building down, one of his least used but most historic properties, and return the site to grassland.
However, after the conservation agency intervened, the plans to demolish the run-down building have been postponed and the property has gone up for sale.
The Lochmore Lodge estate has been used by celebrities and prominent figures in society - including former prime ministers Winston Churchill and Neville Chamberlain - in the past in a bid to hide away from prying eyes of the paparazzi.
The property is complete with six bathrooms, a library, a cinema room, a dressing room, a playroom, and a pantry.
However, one condition of the sale states that the lodge can only be occupied by one family and cannot be sub-divided.
Zoopla, the estate agents dealing with the sale, told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Lochmore Lodge is perfectly located to enjoy traditional rural sports including first class salmon fishing and deer stalking which are available on local estates."
"Lochmore Lodge was formerly the principal house on the Reay Forest's Lochmore Estate. The house has been unoccupied since 2003 and now requires considerable internal renovation."

Dame Helen Mirren met Britain's Queen Elizabeth at a star-studded reception at Buckingham Palace last night (17.02.14).
The 87-year-old royal teamed up with the Duchess of Cambridge, 32, to welcome a host of A-Listers - including Sir David Attenborough, Cate Blanchett and Benedict Cumberbatch - in honour of The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA).
A number of short performances were staged, including a combination of songs from 'Oh What A Lovely War', and Dame Helen also recited a speech from Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'.
Afterwards, Dame Helen - who has played the monarch on-screen and on-stage in the past - was congratulated by the Queen on her performance, but she admits she felt nervous talking to the royal.
Dame Helen said: "I am genuinely always astounded by her aura, her twinkle, her presence. It never fails to surprise me and again it's what everyone says when they meet her -- it was what overwhelmed me the first time I met her."
Even Gemma Arterton admitted she felt proud to be meeting the Queen for the first time, despite meeting many members of the royal family before in the past.
She is quoted by the Daily Telegraph newspaper as saying: "My mum and dad were so proud when I got the letter. They said 'you're going to meet the Queen.'
"I've met most of the Royal family but I'd never met the Queen. Now I've got the full set."

Victoria Beckham "wouldn't wish" her schooldays on anyone.
The 39-year-old fashion designer admits she wept when she received a British Fashion Award two years ago because she couldn't believe how much her life has changed since she was bullied for being "different".
She said: "I had come such a long way. I didn't go to a private school; it was a public school. It was not a very nice school.
"[I was bullied because I was] different from all the other children at the school. I really wouldn't wish it on any kid, because it's horrible."
Victoria - who has children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, Cruz, eight, and Harper, two, with husband David - credits her former Spice Girls bandmates for helping her overcome her problems and become more confident.
Speaking to the new edition of Allure magazine, she said: "I think what gave me confidence in myself was meeting the other girls. We always said we were all like rejects in our own way. We had to work hard, and they helped me accept me for who I was."
And the British star also admitted to having "purchased" her breasts, though she has now had the implants removed.
Looking at an old photograph, she said: "I don't have them anymore. I think I may have purchased them."
