Okay, so, I tried to recreate Princess Diana’s hairstyle today. Sounds wild, right? Let me tell you, it was quite a ride.

First off, I gathered some pictures. I mean, you can’t just jump into this kind of thing without some visual aids. I scoured the internet for some of the most iconic shots of Diana. You know, the ones where her hair looks absolutely flawless.
Then, I started with washing and blow-drying my own hair. I needed a good, clean base to work with, you know? It’s like painting – you need a clean canvas. After that, I grabbed my round brush and began the arduous task of trying to get that signature Diana volume. Let me tell you, my arms got a real workout.
- Washed my hair
- Blow-dried it with a round brush (arm workout included)
- Attempted to achieve Diana-level volume (still working on this)
Next up, I tried to mimic her layers. This was tricky. I sectioned off my hair and used a pair of scissors I probably should have sharpened beforehand. Note to self: invest in some decent hair-cutting scissors. Anyway, I snip-snip-snipped away, trying to create those soft, face-framing layers. It wasn’t perfect, but hey, who gets it right on the first try?
After the cutting came the styling. I sprayed on some hairspray – a lot of hairspray – and used my fingers to shape and mold the hair. I was going for that slightly windswept, effortlessly chic look that Diana rocked so well. Did I achieve it? Well, let’s just say it’s a work in progress.
I finished up by checking myself out in the mirror. I had to laugh. It wasn’t exactly Diana-level, but it was definitely… something. I took a few selfies because, you know, why not document this whole hilarious process?

The Aftermath
So, there you have it. My attempt at recreating Princess Diana’s iconic hairstyle. It was fun, it was messy, and it was definitely a learning experience. Would I do it again? Probably. But maybe next time, I’ll watch a few more tutorials first. Or maybe I’ll just book an appointment with a professional. Yeah, that sounds like a much better idea.
