Meghan Markle has shared a humorous and relatable story from the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic—one that unexpectedly led to a lasting friendship.
Speaking on her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, the Duchess of Sussex recounted a do-it-yourself hair dye attempt gone awry while her family was staying at a friend’s home in California. Like many navigating lockdown restrictions, Markle turned to boxed dye to manage her hair, hoping to achieve the glossy look advertised on the packaging.
“I thought, ‘I’m going to look just like she does on the box,’” she said. “Instead, it was this very inky, almost Elvira-esque black hair.”
After the mishap, Markle reached out to celebrity hairstylist Serge Normant, who had styled her hair for the royal wedding in 2018. It was Normant who introduced her to colorist and businesswoman Kadi Lee.
“You need to see Kadi,” he told her.
Recalling their first meeting, Markle said, “You came over. I mean, we were masked and all the things. It was such an interesting time, but I remember that day so well.”
The unexpected connection, forged during an uncertain and isolating moment, blossomed into a meaningful friendship—highlighting how even a botched hair dye job can lead to something beautiful.
