4 hair products you need to recreate Meghan Markle's sleek bun at home

At Paris Fashion Week, Meghan Markle turned heads not just with her sculptural Balenciaga gown but with her very sleek bun.

The best part? You don't need a glam team or a royal title to recreate it, just four affordable products, from £5.50.

To help you master Meghan's signature updo at home, the Daily Express spoke with Wella Colour Expert and salon owner Georgina Murphy of The Vintage Lounge, who shared her step-by-step guide to achieving that same Paris-perfect finish - complete with her expert-approved product picks.

Here's how to recreate Meghan's ultra-sleek bun like a pro:

Georgina explained: "Start with clean, damp hair - this is essential for achieving a smooth, sleek foundation. Work a small amount of the Living Proof No Frizz Smooth Styling Cream through the mid-lengths and ends using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to ensure even coverage."

She continued: "Blow-dry the hair using a paddle brush and a nozzle attachment, directing the airflow downwards to seal the cuticle. For that glass-like shine, finish each section with a cool blast of air to lock everything in place."

The Styling Cream is a multi-tasking must-have, designed to smooth, protect, and banish frizz. Its humidity-resistant formula leaves hair soft, glossy, and perfectly prepped, the kind of polished texture Meghan is known for.

The Wella hair expert continued: "Once your hair is completely dry, use the Framar Boar Hairbrush to sculpt the shape. Meghan's bun usually sits low with a sleek crown and a clean parting. You can opt for a razor-sharp middle parting, like the Duchess, or brush it straight back - it all comes down to personal preference. Then, pull your hair into a low ponytail, making sure the tension is even across the head with no bumps, no ridges."

The natural boar bristles on this brush help distribute your hair's own oils from root to tip, creating that signature, light-reflective sheen Meghan is known for.

Georgina described this step as the ultimate "secret weapon" for achieving Meghan's smooth, camera-ready finish. "Glide the wax stick gently over the top, hairline and sides," she explained. "Then, use a toothbrush or spoolie to tame any flyaways - especially around the temples and nape of the neck."

She added: "Once sleek, twist the ponytail into a coil, wrap it flat against your head and secure with bobby pins or a hair bungee. Keep the bun compact and balanced - Meghan's look is minimalist, never overdone."

Formulated with a nourishing blend of coconut oil, castor oil and shea butter, the Got2b Glued Wax Stick smooths away frizz while adding a soft, hydrated shine - keeping every strand perfectly in place.

Georgina revealed the final step: "Once your bun is in place, mist this shine spray lightly over the surface of your hair. Its fine, weightless formula gives that reflective gloss Meghan is known for. It's almost like a photo-flash finish."

She explained that this spray creates a sleek, luminous glow, perfect for both evening events and polished daytime looks.

The Shine Spray is lightweight and non-greasy, using mullein flower extract to boost radiance and reflect light while offering built-in heat protection to shield hair from everyday styling damage.
