Maybe I read this wrong, but Meghan's natural hair as it grows out of her head is curly - like the picture posted. It's not naturally straight. She either relaxes it straight or she has it blown out. It's not a perm - I don't understand why you brought that up - unless you're implying that if Meghan goes back to her naturally kinky-curly roots, that women all over the world (white women) would turn to curly perms in order to mimic her hair?
Yeah - I don't see that happening.
I wore my hair relaxed straight until I was in my mid-late 30s - so for a lot of people, it didn't fit my "persona" either - but I need to stress that this "persona" was me assimilating to a society that shames black women for their natural hair texture. In some cases, wearing my natural hair would jeopardize my ability to get the job I wanted.
I have the exact same natural hair texture that Meghan does. And Meghan has made comments about her own struggle with her natural hair texture - she grew up in an environment that made her feel "less than" for having it - there was an interview somewhere where she talked about how her mother tried to help her not fret over what people thought of her hair so much - as that drove her to want it to be as straight as possible.
It'd be nice to see her overcome those reservations (about what a society that likes to see people assimilate) and wear her natural hair - but I suspect that she relaxes her hair, which means it's chemically straightened and she can't wear her natural hair unless she does the big chop and grows it out.
I thought she looked lovely today. I love her minimalist wardrobe and makeup looks. That sweater/trouser combo is one of my own favorite looks to rock so seeing it on her was awesome. I almost bought a similar sweater a month or so ago - I wish I had now! LOL. I love that she wore trousers. She always looks so chic. Love her style - I'm definitely going to have a style crush and muse in her... very excited. I hope she always manages to keep some of "herself" in her royal style.
I admit I was thrown off a bit by her bun - but as far as messy buns go it was still cute. I kinda agree with what someone else said - she's going to have to find a more restrained hair style that she can wear without having to adjust her hair all the time - it'll get old quick. I just hope she finds something that still is HER though.
I love the videos where the crowd gets so loud that Harry motions to them and tells Meghan she'll have to wave at them because they're so loud and then Meghan waves at them and they go absolutely BONKERS. Even Meghan looked surprised at how much the crowd loved her.
I'm so happy.
Yes I figure if she goes to her natural curl it's quite possible she will be copied..I mean really look at the clothes she is wearing, they are selling out within a very short time. Why wouldn't hair trends be the same?
I hadn't really thought overly much about what she has to do to her hair because I'm not up on all the hair stuff (I'm a minimalist about that type of thing). I don't know if she needs to overcome anything or not. Now days she seems pretty confident about herself so I'd imagine if she wanted to wear her hair in it's natural state she would.
Except for today, I have really liked her hair...hoping the messy bun is not a repeat! It would of been cute if she had been more casually dressed. I think a sleek ponytail would of been nicer..but that's just my opinion.
The first thing I thought of when I saw her was SHE IS WEARING TROUSERS!!!! I couldn't wait to see what folks here thought! LOL
I think (within reason) she will have more flexibility with her clothing..or more free to experiment than some of the other BRF family members can.
I don't mind the neutral look although yeah I'm sure it might be a bit boring after awhile. I suspect she will add some new pieces as she goes though. However, I don't ever expect her to show up wearing hot pink!
That crowd as something else...did you see the video of after the came out of the visit? The flashes were just blinding!
She's probably feeling pretty surreal about now...I mean you go from being a fairly unknown actress to having folks scream your name and blind you with cameras....heady stuff.
