Though a lot of style experts would say that Princess Diana’s hair played a vital part in her iconic look, some disagree. In an interview with The Telegraph, famed photographer David Bailey makes it no secret that he wasn’t a fan of her hair at all. Bailey says that Diana supposedly had “terrible” hair and that her locks were “solid as a plastic dummy” because of all the hairspray that she used. If that weren’t enough, Bailey also recalled a moment in 1988 when he was photographing Diana and a light fell on her head. “I thought, ‘Oh f**k!'” he revealed. When Diana was forgiving about the incident, Bailey said, “I told her she had been very magnanimous — that’s right, because she asked me what magnanimous meant.”
Yet, there was a powerful reason why Diana always liked to wear her hair short. In the 2017 documentary, “Diana: In Her Own Words,” the Princess of Wales was asked about a moment in her life “that turned [her] from victim to victor” (via Bustle). She responded, “I supposed last summer when Sam cut my hair differently; it let out something quite different.” No amount of hairspray could hold a strong statement like that.
