Dannii Minogue: Hair Icon
There isn't a haircut, hairstyle or hair colour that Dannii Minogue hasn't tried
Rex FeaturesIn 1986 Dannii and sister Kylie Minogue rock uber 80s looks and get through one can of hairspray every day between them***** .
[i]*This is not true but they both showcase their talent for sporting amazing hair, early doors.
Rex FeaturesAlready a big star in her native Australia, Dannii's quintessentially 90s make-up is all the rage, while she wears her long locks, glossy, natural and gorgeous – we’ll overlook that hat, though.
Rex FeaturesProving that she’s up for a daring ‘do Dannii does a Geri, pre-Spice Girls in 1992. Sporting several hair colours and hairstyles in one, say hello to the the tousled, quiffed, blonde, auburn and brunette hairstyle.
Rex FeaturesGoing back to her roots and her natural colour, in 1994 Dannii proved that she’s the ultimate all-Australian Sheila with a gorgeous naturally glossy mane and barely a scrap of make-up.
Rex FeaturesCan you tell that this was the year the ‘Rachel haircut’ reached fever pitch? Here’s Dannii doing her own take on the infamous hairstyle in 1995, complete with honey highlights.

Rex FeaturesThere aren’t many natural brunettes that can pull off bleach blonde hair but Dannii is one of the lucky ones – and we love the curls!
Rex FeaturesLooking more and more like her big sister Kylie during her redhead phase, Dannii tries titian locks in 1998. We love this hue on her, as it really brings out her blue eyes.
Rex FeaturesFor Dannii’s role as Esmerelda in Notre Dame de Paris at the Dominion Theatre in London, the Aussie star returns to her roots and debuts a serious dark auburn shade with a straight mid-length cut.
Rex FeaturesWorking luxe, long locks with a little wave at the Chicago party for Denise Van Outen, Dannii returns to her natural dark, deep chestnut brown hue - making those blue eyes really pop.
Rex FeaturesChanneling her inner Sharleen Spiteri in 2001, Dannii went for the chop and cut off her long locks, preferring a more hip textured crop. We love the easy-breezy natural styling to this, complete with minimal make-up. Gorgeous.
Rex FeaturesBut the textured crop didn’t last long. Just a few months later Dannii plumps for full-on punk princess with a half slicked-back, half spiked-up mohawk-inspired number at the Fashion Acts Auction in London.
