The launch of a new haircare line titled Highbrow Hippie launched quite the discussion online, especially concerning Meghan Markle’s look at the event.
Meghan attended the festive affair in Venice, California, put together by her long-time friend and hair colorist, Kadi Lee. The Duchess took the spotlight as attendees admired her ensemble while others critiqued her hairstyle.
Clad in a chic Khaite bustier and black pants, Meghan complemented her look with elegant gold accessories, including a necklace and earrings by Logan Hollowell. Despite these sophisticated touches, attention quickly turned to her hair.
Her hairstyle at the event was her signature look, flowing in soft curls and parted down the middle. But the reception was mixed. While some admired her shiny tresses, others labeled it ‘messy,’ sparking debates amongst followers online.
Critics shared their views online, with one stating bluntly, “She doesn’t shine; it’s just her usual style, but a bit more casual,” while another joked that she may have extensions, dismissing her look as anything but natural.
Not everyone was critical, though. Support poured in from admirers praising her radiant appearance. “She looks stunning as always,” one fan expressed on social media, while others complimented her youthful glow.
At the heart of the event were Meghan’s interactions and support for her friend, Kadi Lee. She was enthusiastic in highlighting Kadi’s craftsmanship in hair health, and being part of this venture meant supporting her in more ways than one.
Further explaining her loyalty, she shared her passion for the new line and her belief in Kadi’s vision. The event brought more than just business to the forefront, with personal connections taking center stage as Meghan wove anecdotes from their friendship into the celebration.
Meghan said, “Kadi is a true master, and her collection is all about embracing hair health, which everyone deserves to enjoy. I’m thrilled to support her as an investor and as a friend.” Her words underscored a shared journey focused on empowering women.
For Kadi, this line aims to battle issues commonly faced, notably hair loss and thinning—a reality that touches many, especially during key life stages. Her motivation came from observing these challenges in diverse clients over the years, including those embracing the beauty of aging.
Partnering with salon co-founder Myka Harris, the duo’s endeavor with Highbrow Hippie reflects a deeper commitment to their clients, essentially bringing to life a collection dedicated to hair care that also involves an emotional component.
They’re keen on making Highbrow Hippie more than just another product line, choosing to infuse themes of self-care, connection, and community into each aspect. They hope clients leave each session with more than just a haircut—maybe a new perspective or a bit of renewed confidence.
For them, having this space is about luxury in the form of care and mindfulness in a world that often rushes past such essentials.
As Meghan and Kadi took to the stage to discuss the line, laughter echoed through the room, urging attendees to embrace not just beauty, but camaraderie. With heartfelt encouragement towards each other, the two friends celebrated a shared dream.
At the end of the day, it wasn’t just about the glitz or critique; it was about celebrating friendships and shared visions—an ethos that transcends appearances and embraces the essence of connection.
The night wrapped up with optimism about the future of the line and Meghan’s enduring support for the people and causes she believes in.
And to the crowd that gathered, each walked away with a little more insight into the rich tapestry that weaves together friendship, business, and, indeed, the beauty that comes with it all.
