WINNER: Balayage or ombré highlights

It's not a new trend, having been around since '07/'08 but the ombré effect — aka balayage or grown-out highlights — was big news this year with heaps of celebs, including Rachel Bilson, Drew Barrymore, Jessica Biel, Hilary Duff, Lauren Conrad and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz lightening their ends. They were led by Queen Bee of this trend, Alexa Chung and joined by Aussies Rose Byrne, Jen Hawkins and Caitlin Stasey. Yay for the lazy-girl's guide to good hair.

Keep reading . . .Runners-up: Red hair gave balayage a run for its money this year with RiRi debuting a fiery look back in June, Carmen Kass switching up her blonde locks at Louis Vuitton and even Harry Potter's Luna Lovegood got in on the action after filming had finished. It was also the year of the crops with Emma Watson, Cate Blanchett and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz taking the plunge, Michelle Williams returning to the style and Carey Mulligan going from short to super-short this year. And hair streaks continued both on and off the runway. We spotted them at Cynthia Rowley and on the usual suspects: Katy Perry, Taylor Momsen and Ruby Rose.
