Princess Diana would have celebrated her 65th birthday on Wednesday, July 1, and nearly 30 years after her death, her influence on beauty trends can still be seen around the world. New Google search analysis by Fresha, the world's leading beauty and wellness booking platform, reveals that searches for "Princess Diana hair" have risen 47 percent over the past year, with around 11,000 searches in the past month alone. Even Duchess Sophie has been inspired to chop off her shoulder-length hair into a bob, but one hair professional is warning women what to consider when thinking about a Diana-esque cut.
Hairstylist Danielle Louise, a U.K.-based beauty expert on Fresha, says that younger women are becoming more interested in Diana’s iconic hair. “Princess Diana's influence has never really disappeared, but we're definitely seeing a new generation discovering her style,” she says. “Clients are asking for hair that's elegant, healthy and full of movement rather than something that looks deliberately effortless.”
