Best celebrity hairstyles of 2012: december

Published 30th Dec 2012 by rachael
Celebrities are arguably the biggest influence for most clients, inspiring cuts, colours and styling techniques with their constantly evolving red carpet looks.


From extensions to dip-dye colour, celebrities are responsible for taking the catwalk trends and making them wearable and accessible for everyday use. And with a full calendar of events throughout the year, it's no surprise that celebrities like to change things up regularly to keep their fans - and their hairdressers - on their toes.



Here are some of the most-talked about celebrity hair looks from December 2012...

Kylie Minogue


Kylie is one of the original showbiz colour chameleons having rocked hair of every hue from red to black and styles from tight perms to poker-straight locks.


While 2012 hasn't been the busiest year for Ms Minogue, it did see her land a second ELLE cover - and what a striking cover it was. 


A world away from her romantic summer 2010 cover, this look was pure high fashion - and what better complement than a striking new hair colour?


Bleach blonde and worn straight and sleek, this is the look that proves that Kylie isn't afraid to take a risk at any stage in her career.


Look to love: The Something About Mary look can be tricky to carry off, but Kylie makes a wet-look quiff work.

Kate shows no signs of slowing down as she heads towards her 40th birthday, with a year packed full of high profile campaigns, a book dedicated to documenting her modelling career and an even an appearance at the Olympics closing ceremony.


Queen Kate seems to be settling in to her style nicely as she approaches the big 4-0, with less dramatic changes and more of the look that's become a Moss trademark; polished grunge.


Effortless, expensive and ever so cool, this is the Kate look we love.


Look to love: At a book signing for her first coffee table tome, Kate showed off the natural look which she wears so well - the perfect shade of blonde, worn tousled just so.

Kate Middleton continues to inspire clients up and down the country with her glossy brunette shade and pristinely blow-dried locks.


This year saw Kate named as the female celebrity whose hair most women in the country want, with just over a quarter of women surveyed revealing that the royal mum-to-be had the style they wanted most in the world.


Look to love: Just before announcing her pregnancy, Kate showed off her new style with a classic blow-dry that showed off the softened cut perfectly.
