The Best and Worst Hair of the Year

The best and worst celebrity haircut of 2012... which, oddly enough, just so happens to be one and the same. Drum roll please!

No prizes for guessing the winner

That's right, it's Miley Cyrus. Or more accurately, Miley's ultra-short, ultra platinum blonde haircut, which was such a dramatic departure from her usual long locks as to leave the trash talk media momentarily speechless.

But only momentarily.

One word: wow

Since she first debuted her bold pixie crop back in August, the singer's hair has been getting progressively shorter. As of this week, it looks something like this.

Okay Miley, we get it. You're a punk rocker now

Word is that her fiance, Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth, loves her new style. And here at GHST, we agree - to a point. It gets our nod for best haircut of the year purely in the sense that it's such an enormous change for the former Disney starlet. It's fresh, it's brave, and - in the same way a snake sheds its skin - it represents a definitive shedding of the squeaky clean Hannah Montana image that first entered our collective consciousness some years ago.

But the fact remains that it's not the most flattering hairstyle Miley's ever had. Some would go so far as to say that it's downright ugly. As attractive as Cyrus may be (and she is), she doesn't quite have the bone structure to make this style work. Few women actually do - Rihanna is one, Emma Watson another. But not Miley.

At any rate, it'll be interesting to see how the 20-year-old superstar's hair continues to morph as the weeks roll by, and how long it takes for Cyrus to revert back to the long hair extensions she favoured in the past (my tentative guess is more than six months, but less than two years).
