The HuffPost Style girls know firsthand how a new hair color or haircut can make a major difference in your appearance and attitude. So, when we spot a star sporting a new hairdo that frames her face just right, brings out her eye color or gives her the confidence to try a daring new red-carpet look, we make a big deal about it.
Celebrity hairstylists brought their A-game this year, dying and cutting some of the most influential looks we've seen in decades. From Anne Hathaway's "Les Misérables" pixie haircut to Beyoncé's post-baby graduated bangs, it's no wonder so many women have become scissor-happy.
