4. Who gave Diana the famous "Lady Di" fringed hair cut, and also did her hair on her wedding day?

It was at "Headlines" salon that owner and head hairdresser Kevin Shanley first gave Diana the "Lady Di" fringe. He said he wished he would have had her grow it out more for the wedding so he could have put it up. He felt that the heat and humidity in the glass coach had made her fringed style go flat. Richard Dalton, who worked for Kevin at "Headlines" and then went off on his own, gave her the longer 1940s style she wore after Prince Harry was born in 84/85. Sam McKnight gave her the very short, very layered look she wore in the early 1990s. Natalie Symons gave her the smooth pushed back look she wore shortly before her death.
