How to get Meghan Markle’s glossy hair: Duchess of Sussex famed for shiny styles

Meghan Markle, 36, has become one of the most photographed women in the world since her marriage to Prince Harry, 33.

As well as her impeccable style, the Duchess of Sussex is famed for her long, glossy hair.

While she often wears it in an updo, as she did on her wedding day, more and more she is opting for the loose waves favoured by Kate Middleton, 36.

And despite constant styling, both women manage to keep their hair in excellent condition.

How does Meghan achieve her shine? One expert has shared his top tips for those wanting to add some lustre to dull hair.

Fabian Lliguin, Rahua Co-Founder, explained: “All hair types contain amino acids known as cysteine bonds.

“In curly hair, the cysteine bonds attract more (cysteine bonds) than other hair types, bridging bonds in the hair in an angular way – curling hair further and further.

“This pattern makes it difficult for the natural oils (sebum) to lubricate the strands.

“The hair then becomes porous with a negative polar charge while inheriting a damaged, raised (open) cuticle. In addition, visually the curls ’s’ shape attracts light, contrary to straight hair that reflects light easily, giving it a shiny appearance.”

There are things that can be done to ensure all hair types look their best.

Fabian advises using lightweight oils to protect the hair without weighing it down.

Many oils have gained popularity in recent years – from argan to coconut – but there is one in particular Fabian has harnessed, the ungurahua nut oil.

Found in the rainforests of Central and South America, the oil is becoming more widely available, with select sellers offering it on Amazon as well as being the key ingredient in Fabian’s Rahua haircare line.

Explaining how it works, Fabian said: “First, Rahua oil contains Omega 9 molecules with a polar positive charge and fills the hair’s porosity, strengthening and repairing curly hair almost immediately.

“Secondly, Rahua oil with its polar positive charge flattens down the cuticle, allowing light to reflect it. This gives hair a natural, non-greasy shine, while naturally and truly repairing hair without a synthetic cosmetic coat.”

For Meghan’s first solo trip out with the Queen, she wore her hair loose, but was caught out by raging winds which made her look less than put together.

Debate raged over whether her hairstyle choice was appropriate, with Twitter users calling for the actress to hire a different hair stylist in the wake of the fashion faux-pas.

One wrote: “You should have informed Meghan Cheshire is having high winds so she could have tied her hair back.”

Another Twitter user wrote: “Can Meghan please opt for shorter hair or have it styled – so it does not cause her to pull it off her face, soooo annoying and distracting.”

“Please tie it up / back at events. Or, have a stylist STYLE it! Thanks,” another social media user wrote. However, others jumped to Meghan’s defence.
