Need some hair inspiration? Whether you’re deciding how to wear your hair for your holiday party, or how to cut it for a fresh new look for 2013, the best place to find ideas is to look at the trendiest people: celebrities! This year we saw a major bangs comeback, tons of waves, crazy colours and some edgy makeovers (hello Miley!). We rounded them up by trend, so check out our favourite hairstyles of this past year:
Bangs
Bella Heathcote, Carly Rae Jepsen, Taylor Swift
There is something about blue eyes and bangs! All three of these beautiful girls framed their lovely eyes with a set of razor sharp bangs that fell right over their eyebrows. A smokey eye or a black liner is the perfect way to play up the entire look.
Braids & Twists
Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel
If you’ve got long locks, try one of these styles sported by the Jessicas. A twisted ponytail or a braid is a great way to change up your look for a night out.
Edgy
Cassie, Miley Cyrus, Rooney Mara
If you’re looking for a big change, try one of these edgy looks. Each of these beautiful ladies used their hair to transform themselves into new, grown-up and spunky women. These hairstyles definitely got all of us talking this year.
Short
Anne Hathaway, Dianna Agron, Rihanna
Shedding your locks is hard, but for all three of these women, we’re happy they took the risk! Anne Hathaway’s transformation to a short crop was shocking at first but her beautiful big features are now on full display, allowing everyone to see how stunning she is.
Side Part
Amy Adams, Blake Lively, Kim Kardashian
This sultry hairstyle was rocked by some of the hottest women in the biz this year. If you want to make your man’s jaw drop, part your hair to the side and add some curls for a sexy retro look.
Updos
Jessica Biel, Keira Knightley
These intricate up-dos were our fave this year. Keira Knightley looks beautiful with her hair up, showing off her long neck and incredible bone structure.
Wavy
Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Banks, Lea Michele
Waves aren’t only for the beach! Using a wand styling tool, you can create waves if you don’t have them naturally.
Bright Colours
Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry
These divas are not afraid to take their look to the next level. Using hair pieces and wigs, they sported very bright hues (often changing between pink, purple, blue and yellow) as a fashion accessory.
