... thought the hair looked quite messy. I noticed she kept pushing it back behind her ears throughout the visit, which was a little distracting.
I think we will be continuing to see this 'distraction.' ? From watching Meghan, it seems to me that constantly adjusting her hair is a mannerism or habit that might be difficult for her to break. No one's perfect, but if that's the worst of her flaws, more power to her.
As Curbside and FashionMaven were discussing, Meghan may have a need to protect her hair from the weather, or she's in-between treatments. As well, Meghan (as I mentioned a few times) likes to have one thing a bit off with a pulled together look. That's a fashion tip she's spoken of previously in an interview with
Glamour, and it's also noted in this ET online article:
Meghan Markle's Royal Style Predictions: How the Actress Will Reinvent Princess Fashion | Entertainment Tonight
Per Meghan:
"I like monochromatic and tonal dressing, and I don't generally wear prints... I also love the French way of styling, where if your outfit is pulled together, then something's got to be disheveled -- your hair, your makeup...I like to look polished and put together, but for me there's always going to be that effortless quality just coming from LA."
That's Meghan in a nutshell, and we've been seeing her put these personal style rules into practice. She's being herself, and as has been said, we'll see how she evolves. As I think about what we've been seeing from Meghan: casual, understated but polished, upscale fashion in muted tones, with some trendy touches,
I'll bet that one of the reasons why is because Meghan and Harry both want the focus to be on the people and places they are visiting, and not strictly on what Meghan is wearing. A few brighter colors and bolder choices will likely be seen on Meghan at some point for special occasions. Right now she probably is trying to keep the talk away from her clothes as much as possible. And knowing there will be some talk, she's chosen to promote British designers and charitable causes through what she wears. It all makes sense.
As FashionMaven described, a silk or satin scarf protects the hair from damage and also keeps the style intact (especially after you've had a blowout)... here's an article that explains it better:

I can definitely see her wrapping her hair at night. ?
She does seem to prefer her hair loose. It will be interesting to see how she styles it during tiara events.
Thanks for the article on hair wrapping. Meghan may wrap her hair at night on occasion, but I'll bet Harry likes her wearing it wild and loose at bedtime. ? Look at this teenage Meghan with her wild and crazy head full of thick, curly hair. She'll probably never wear it this way again. She has said how she longed for straight hair growing up. I would love to rock this style myself, so it's funny how we sometimes don't appreciate attributes in ourselves that others might covet.

It's fun to look back at some of Meghan's past fashion looks and hairstyles:
For the cover of Jumeirah travel magazine, this chic chignon is a glamorous style on Meghan:

Another pulled back look. Check closely and see the curly tangle at the nape of her neck around the hairline:
