Meghan Markle is completely unrecognizable with her natural hair

After Meghan Markle and Prince Harry got married, the two drove off into the sunset — literally — and Markle’s hair was nothing short of amazing. In fact, Markle’s wedding reception look made waves all over the internet after its debut.

So, how did Markle and her hairstylist, George Northwood, come up with the idea? It all started with a “chat” about Markle’s goals for her special reception.

“The evening was intimate, for family and friends, a time for Meghan to be herself. By this point, the messy bun had become such a thing and we wanted to do something equally relaxed and effortless,” Northwood divulged to British Vogue. “Often with brides — and this was no different — the daytime bit is a bit more nerve-wracking, and then the evening comes and it’s more about wanting to have fun. That’s what my hair is about: it’s wearable, effortless, and can withstand a dance floor.”

Although Markle recently relocated to Los Angeles with Prince Harry and their son, Archie, Northwood revealed he still “checks in all the time.” And of course, he couldn’t help but gush about spending time with Markle — memories he cherishes to this day. “Working with [Markle and Harry] was an enormous privilege and I enjoyed every minute. We created some iconic moments,” he raved. Iconic moments, indeed.

Of course, Meghan Markle’s hair is beautiful no matter how she wears it. Way to keep up the killer looks, Duchess!
