“This straighter, longer hairstyle marks a new chapter in her life without such strict protocols,” he said.
Northwood was the one that styled Markle’s hair while she was still a senior working member of the royal family. He said that the Duchess of Sussex’s hairstyle back then was more polished and smart-looking.

“Whereas now, she can take a more relaxed approach to how she dresses, therefore this sleeker blow-dried hairstyle works beautifully - it's casual but still polished and appropriate for her new life,” he said.
