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 our favourite celebrity hair looks from October 2012...

Rihanna
Style chameleon Rihanna has done just about everything with her hair.
From romantic blonde waves and a black undercut quiff and even dreadlocks, Rihanna isn't afraid of changing up her image to suit her latest single, album or red carpet appearance.
Her adventurous hairstyles are the perfect match to her equally out-there adverts, meaning she's always one to watch when she makes a public appearance - and ensuring she's a favourite on Twitter with her behind-the-scenes sharing.
Look to love: In October, Rihanna revealed a sharp new crop - wig or real deal, we never know, but we love this look and the way she's taken to pairing it with tomboyish looks for a unique high-fashion red carpet image.

Azealia Banks
Launching onto the scene in a colourful explosion of sequins, denim and My Little Pony hair, Azealia Banks made a pretty big impact in 2012.
As well as a stellar music career, Azealia has also made a name for herself as a style icon with shoots in all of the glossies and a role as frontwoman for the ASOS Christmas campaign.
Her fashion has got everyone talking, but we're also big fans of her hair which combines urban edge with fantasy princess for hair that's out of thsi world.
Look to love: Her London concert in October saw Azealia rocking Little Mermaid style with bum-length waves in a striking bright red shade. We LOVE.

Emma Stone
We prefer Emma as a redhead, but her blonde transformation this year has proved that she's more than capable of rocking either shade.
Combining girl-next-door simplicity with a cool vintage twist, Emma never looks anything but sensational on the red carpet.
More often than not matched with Valentino gowns, the actress's style is always impeccable and we always, always want to copy it.
Look to love: Emma's radiant blonde is showed off to perfection in this vintage-style updo, which combines a lash-tickling fringe with cool, loose texture.
