Diana was never a long hair person, not even during her childhood days. She flaunted shoulder-length hair as a child, and her cut only got shorter as she aged. Here's a look at some of the most memorable hairstyles she wore.
During the late 80s, the royal curled back the hair from her face.

THE BLUNT BOB
In 1980, Diana caught the eye of Prince Charles. A teenager back then, she rocked an almost brunette, blunt bob that only a pair of dexterous hands could have cut.

THE GRAVITY-DEFYING BLOWOUT
When Prince Williams was born, Diana had her hair perfectly swept back on the front and sides. That changed with the birth of Prince Harry as she debuted her voluminous blowout.

BACK TO THE BASICS

CURLED UP
During the late 80s, the royal curled back the hair from her face. Unlike her previous hairstyles, this one allowed her to flaunt her charming facial features and, of course, her elegant earrings.

In 1991, Diana met hairstylist Sam McKnight during a photo shoot and asked him what he would do if he could style her hair in any way he wanted. And that's exactly what he did and thereafter began the royal's pixie cut era.
Before meeting McKnight, hairdresser Richard Dalton did her hair. He first met Diana when she was 17, and he was the one who gave William and Harry their first haircuts.
