Users Blast Meghan Markle for Having 'Messy' Hair at the Launch of a New Haircare Line – Photos

The Duchess of Sussex was spotted at the launch party of Highbrow Hippie, a new hair care line by her longtime hair colorist and friend, Kadi Lee.

Meghan Markle's appearance at a launch party in Venice, California, for a new haircare line sparked a wave of online reactions. Some users criticized her hair and others praised her beauty as she posed for photos.

For the occasion, Meghan wore a Khaite bustier top and black pants, along with shoes by Aquazzura. She accessorized it with a gold pendant necklace and gold earrings, jewelry by Logan Hollowell.

She let her hair fall loose in soft curls, parted in the middle and flowing smoothly down her back. While her glossy tresses have long been a signature feature, fans didn't seem to love her look this time, with many criticizing her hair.

One critic didn't hold back, stating, "Looking so old for her age! Also temp hair extensions, are not very good! As seen here." Another user was unimpressed with her hair choice, writing, "Her wig/extensions look bad - very limp & oily looking and not sitting on her head quite right. If you're going to promote a hair product, at least make sure your hair looks amazing."

Someone else shared a harsher opinion, adding, "She doesn't shine it's just her usual greasy mess." "Dont [sic] be delusional 🙄," one comment read, as the user insisted, "She definitely has hair extensions!"

A fan humorously declared their preference for other brands, "Having a messy hair/wigs/extension like Meghan has, is the opposite of what I want for my blond hair. I Will keep using Kerastase, kielh and schwarzkopf. 😂😂😂."

Some fans were curious to see a different side of Meghan Markle, with one saying, "I wish to see one day Meghan in her natural hair." Others kept it blunt, penning, "Looks greasy." The criticism continued with another simply commenting, "Wig treatment😂." Shifting focus, a user criticized her outfit, "Why is she always half naked?"

But not everyone was critical. One admirer countered the negativity with, "Nice to see her! Stunning as ever🔥🔥🔥." Another praised her ageless beauty, "Meghan is super beautiful, she looks younger 😍😍." Finally, a fan kept it simple, adding, "She's so pretty!!"

Meghan was elated to attend this event which drew great attention to her hair. She attended not only as a client for the Highbrow Hippie hairline but also as an investor. She praised the line's creator, "Kadi has a mastery of hair health, and her Highbrow Hippie collection is a perfect reflection of that. I am so proud to invest in her as a friend and as a female founder."

At the event, Kadi shared insights into her career journey and how her friendship with the Duchess influenced the growth of her business. Later, Meghan lightened the mood with a joke that highlighted Kadi's impact on her. "I was using boxed dye when I met her!" she said, causing laughter in the room.

The new line is unique as it targets hair loss and thinning. Kadi, who is passionate about the line, noted, "I work with some of the most visible women in the world; keeping their hair healthy has always been at the top of my mind."

Kadi, along with her salon co-founder and close friend Myka Harris, co-created Highbrow Hippie. Together, Kadi and Myka have supported their clients through various stages of life, including postpartum experiences and the challenges of aging into their 40s and 50s, a time when hair loss often becomes more noticeable.

Therefore, the two figured out what their products should focus on. "We always knew we wanted to start a product line, and the conversations being had with clients made it clear that it needed to be about hair health," they said.

The line's official website notes that Highbrow Hippie was designed to fill a gap, offering a space for self-care, community, and a few hours of personal focus. The creators emphasize the importance of self-care and connection, aiming to leave customers feeling inspired and grounded.

Kadi and Myka also want clients to have a new understanding—whether about themselves or others. They believe that in today's fast-paced world, these small, thoughtful experiences provide a sense of luxury.
