Katie Holmes is one busy actress. She is co-owner and spokesperson for haircare brand Alterna. (The Caviar Replenishing Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner are ELLE team favourites). The first ever celebrity face of Bobbi Brown, oh and she's a fashion designer too. In fact, when she showed her spring/summer 2014 collection Holmes & Yang in New York the models beauty look was provided courtesy of Alterna and Bobbi Brown.

This month Holmes debuted a shorter, darker, glossier haircut but via this video she is taking us back in time via her hair. Here the star talks us through the different hairstyles she has worn over the years from that Girl Next Door hair made famous by her character Joey Potter in Dawson's Creek to the twisted up 'do she wore at this year's MET Gala.

We're taking hair notes for New Year's Eve inspiration...
