Meghan Markle’s Hairstyle Evolution Through The Years

From Hollywood waves to regal buns

Meghan Markle's Hairstyle Evolution Through The Years
2005

Markle opened cases on NBC’s Deal or No Deal before scoring her role on the hit show Suits. Here, she’s seen rocking bouncy bombshell curls.

Shorter and lighter hair is a refreshing change for Markle, who also added some face-framing layers.

Talk about that Markle sparkle—we’ve never had hair this glossy in our lives. Markle wore these shiny soft bends to an Anti Defamation League dinner in 2006.

Markle is likely wearing extensions here to get the ultra-long style with ringlet curls.

Markle started to wear her signature style—hair tossed over one side—in 2012.

Markle dyed her hair nearly-black in late 2012, which helped her hazel eyes really pop.

Center-parted Bohemian waves like Markle’s can be created with a large barrel curling iron and some hairspray. Clip the curls up as they cool to get the defined bend.

Way before the messy bun controversy of 2018, back in 2013 Markle tried her hand at a loose, wispy low bun with plenty of flyaways.

A voluminous blowout was all the rage in 2013, as seen here on Markle at the Elle Women in Hollywood event in 2013.

Totally sleek, straight, and with a snatched center-part—this is a look we’d like to see on Markle more often.

To get curls like Markle’s let your hair air-dry about 80% and then start twisting the front sections around your finger to form loose spirals.

Classic Old Hollywood waves—parted over one shoulder—look gorgeous on the star back in 2013.

“For my flyaways, I spray hairspray on a small boar bristle toothbrush (a regular toothbrush also works great!) to lightly brush them down or smooth the hairline—this is especially good for a sleek bun when I am off-camera,” Markle previously told Birchbox.

Markle loves a messy bun, but this is as close to a classic chignon as we’ve seen on the future royal—back in 2013.

“There are two lines I use religiously: Kerastase(masquintense & the oleo relax line) and Wella, which has a hair oil that I am obsessed with. It smells like vacation and makes your hair slippery and touchable. I love this stuff!,” Markle previously told Beautybanter. “It also doubles as a pretty amazing body oil post bath.”

A hot roller set like this takes time and patience. Wrap hair in the rollers, spray with hairspray, then let the cool completely before unraveling and brushing through. Parting them over one shoulder allows for a major earring moment.

2014
image

Markle hit up fashion week with new face-framing layers worn as loose tendrils back in 2014.

The first and only time we’ve seen Markle in a braid was back in 2014 at a Miu Miu event.

“There is nothing like a hair flip! When my hair is feeling a little weighted, Suanne, my hair artist on set, has me bend forward and she sprays a little Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray or nothing at all, and then has me ‘flip back hard’ to give my hair a little extra bounce,” Markle previously told Birchbox.

Markle perfected the texturized hair flip at the CFDA awards in 2015.

Subtle bends like the ones seen here can actually be created with a flat iron,not a curling iron. Invest in a beveled straightener, then twist and rotate it as you work your way down the hair.

Sleek, polished waves fit for a royal in 2016 (though we love Markle’s signature bedhead waves the most).

2017
image

Markle’s first public appearance with Prince Harry was as relaxed and laidback as the star herself. She wore her go-to waves and button-down shirt.

Photo: Getty

2017
image

Markle pulled her hair back into a side chignon with fuzzy texture and face-framing tendrils in late 2017.

Photo: Getty

The official engagement announcement called for hair as big and beautiful as the occasion itself. This is the flawless blowout we’ve all tried to achieve at-home but could never pull-off.

Photo: Getty

2017

For the official engagement portraits, Markle chose to wear soft and simple waves parted over her right shoulder.

The royal dress code calls for a lot of interesting hats—which can mess with your hair game…unless you’re Meghan Markle. A hat this attention-seeking called for something other than her signature waves, so she wore straight hair with movement at the ends.

Photo: Getty

2018
image

Markle’s new signature style blends the polish required of her new life with a bit of the bouncy waves she preferred in her old. We love how her hair is mostly straight (with body!) and a slight curl to frame her face.
