Newly engaged to Prince Harry, the American actress is absolutely stunning, thanks in part to her beautiful, long brunette locks that inspire international envy. But don't be jealous. Okay, maybe be a little jealous over the whole marrying-a-prince thing. But don't be jealous about her hair. We've got insider info on exactly what you need to achieve Meghan's crowning glory.
The Products
In August 2016, when it hadn't even been announced that Prince Harry and Meghan were dating and she was best known as Rachel Zane on the show Suits, the beauty blog BeautyBanter spoke to the future duchess about her beauty routine, including her favorite hair products.

For deep conditioning and damage repair, she loves the cult-favorite Kerastase Masquintense ($20.50 and up, kerastase-usa.com), which she says she uses "religiously." She also can't get enough of Kerastase's Sérum Oléo-Relax ($40, kerastase-usa.com), a smoothing oil that keeps dehydrated hair frizz-free.
Clearly a fan of hair oils, Meghan also says she's "obsessed with" Wella Oil Reflections Luminous Smoothing Oil ($40, ulta.com), which can be used on damp or dry hair. "It smells like vacation and makes your hair slippery and touchable," she told BeautyBanter. "It also doubles as a pretty amazing body oil post bath."

The Style
[post_ads]Meghan's signature hairstyle is long, loose waves with a middle part — a look that's easy to achieve and flattering on everyone.
After shampooing and conditioning, celebrity hairstylist Patrick Kyle recommends prepping hair with a mousse like Dove Mousse Volume Amplifier ($4, amazon.com). He says to use a tail comb and your nose as a guide to create a center part. Blow dry hair using the Ibiza B5 Round Brush ($51, amazon.com), he adds.
Once dry, Kyle recommends using a 1 1/4- inch curling wand — he loves the T3 Whirl Trio Interchangeable Styling Wand ($270, sephora.com) because you get three wand sizes in one. Wrap hair around the wand, leaving out the ends, and curl away from the face.
He recommends using the Oribe Dry Texture Spray ($22 and up, bluemercury.com) all over to get second-day hair and finishing with Nexxus Maxximum Spray ($14, ulta.com) to tame fly-aways and hold the style.

The Color
Meghan's hair color, a super-dark brunette shade with very subtle highlights, would work well for anyone with a dark- to medium-brown base, according to Nikki Ferrara, celebrity colorist at Serge Normant at John Frieda in New York City.
"Your colorist can weave some very subtle highlights with a low-volume peroxide until the hair is a light to medium brown, and then finish with an overall medium chestnut brown gloss to keep it shiny and multi-tonal," Ferrara says. "Keep the highlights a few inches from the roots to make it lower-maintenance."
Is it just us, or does there seem to be a new royal rule wherein you cannot marry a prince unless you have incredibly beautiful, long, wavy brown hair?
