We woke up to the news we needed on Monday morning—Meghan Markle, of Montecito, California, had sat for the cover of The Cut. Rocking an ever-so-chic slicked-back bun, she stared into the camera oozing the poise and confidence she’s known for. Markle wears her hair back frequently, but it’s often more casual and messy. A tendril or two of hair is pulled out to frame her face or she reveals a tousled ponytail when she turns her head. But on this cover, her hair is smoothed all the way down. And somehow, she doesn’t look like George Washington, the way so many of the rest of us do when we attempt this style. It’s giving ballerina-chic instead of founding-father frump.

#1 Meghan Markle’s Slicked Back Low Bun
To nail the look, Devin Graciano, hairstylist and head of product development at Goldie Locks, says the key is to keep the look shiny and hydrated rather than dry and dull.
“You want to use products that will hold and add reflective shine,” says Graciano. “To avoid looking like a founding father when trying to recreate this look at home, opt for products that are hydrating and can provide that high-shine end result while it helps to control any unruly hairs, especially around the hairline.”
