Cheryl Cole
She has gone from brunette and bouffant to blonde and sassy but whatever Cheryl Cole does with it, the nation’s women love her hair. The 28-year-old has been voted Britain’s hair icon for 2011 with thousands envious of her thick, full locks.
Jessie J
Best known for her poker straight, ink black bob with a perfect fringe slashed above the eyes , Jessie J brought precision cutting to the forefront of fashion this year with her must-have head-hugging cut in a pristine shade of purest black. This year also saw Jessie experiment with wigs and extensions, showing off a violet bob and silver dip-dye lengths as well as glamorous waves and curls.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
The latest addition to the Royal Family has fast become a firm favourite with the press and public alike thanks to her chic outfits and fabulously blow-dried bouffant.
Making glossy, gorgeous, natural-looking luxury a trend in itself.
Rihanna
A constant style chameleon, Rihanna’s styles this year have ranged from bright red corkscrew curls to a demure blonde for her photoshoot for Vogue magazine
Katy Perry
She was announced as the face (and hair) of ghd in April 2011 and Katy Perry continued to keep everyone talking about her barnet throughout the year with colour changes a-go-go. When Katy Perry dyed her hair pink, it didn’t come as that much of a shock to fans as she has been known to change the colour of her locks quite often. From black and pink to blonde and blue, this year has seen Katy give her pin-up girl style a comic-book colourful twist.
Alexa Chung
Alexa always manages to style her pared-down bob in different ways to keep it looking fresh and new. Straight locks suit the cut of the bob giving a more boyish charm, while gentle waves help soften the style making it a more feminine and vintage look. Alexa has become known as Queen Bee of balyage.
”I just like her tossed off hair. It’s chopped, she lets her natural texture come out, she doesn’t look tortured with blow dryers or straightening irons or anything. She is sexy, obviously very sexy, but in a fresh and kind of tomboy-ish way.”
Lady Gaga
The queen of kook tamed things down a bit in 2011, switching her OTT multi-coloured wigs for high-octane glamour – albeit with a trademark Gaga twist.
Mint green bouffants, silver chignons and pastel pink ponytails all ensured the first lady of pop stayed firmly in the spotlight this year.

Huge hair is clearly the next big thing if Cheryl Cole and Sarah Jessica Parker’s new dos are anything to go by.
When Cheryl Cole stepped out in LA in May to take on the US X Factor, she seemed determined to get noticed and her huge hair certainly did the trick.
Reminiscent of big-dos from 1980s’ blockbusters Dynasty and Dallas, Cheryl’s well ahead of the game.
Within hours, another fashion icon, Sarah Jessica Parker, was donning almost exactly the same style when she attended the Robin Hood Foundation annual benefit in New York.
Bouffants are set to be a huge trend this season. So don’t get left behind in the race for some va-va volume.
The big backcombing trick
Backcombing’s got a bad reputation, but if you do it correctly, it’s great for full-on volume. First, pump some L’Oreal Lift Mousse 3 into your roots. Then, set your hair using large heated rollers.
“Starting from the parting and working your way down towards the neck, take sections of hair and wind them around the rollers. Pull each section 90 degrees away from the head, comb it through then wind one and a half times around the roller. Leave the hair to dry and cool before gently removing the rollers without disturbing the curls. Then spritz with L’Oreal Infinium Hairspray or L’Oreal Fixing Mist 4, turn your head upside down and using your fingers, separate and tease each curl to get more volume and a natural finish.”
“Next, without disturbing the curls too much, take inch-thick sections of the hair, hold fairly taut upright from the head – don’t get the tension too tight or you’ll damage the hair – and, using a fine-toothed comb, backcomb the hair about an inch from the root. Spray with hairspray into your desired big finish.”
Build a big extension
“Cheryl’s new Barbarella look – large curls with lots of volume at the roots – would be difficult to achieve for most of us without the help of extensions,”
Simply section off your hair, dividing it into two parts and securing the larger part on the top of your head, then clip in the extension to the back of your hair or have Great Lengths extensions professionally put in.
Smooth hair back over the extension, then repeat higher on the hair line, sectioning off the hair as necessary.
Smaller extensions can be used at the sides to create as much volume as you want.
Brush and buff up at the roots to ensure all clips are covered and hey presto, a big hair-do is yoursself.
Big-up a blow dry
If extensions aren’t for you, try bouffing up your style with your hairdryer. “The secret is to confuse the root of your hair by brushing it against the grain so you get extra volume. With your head upside down, spray hairspray on the roots of your hair and then dry using a large paddle brush, brushing away from the direction of your hair.”Concentrate on lifting the hair at the root as you curl, so you get the body high up on the head.
