It’s hard enough to have a good hair day, let alone figure out how to wear your hair on the reg. To get bangs or not to get bangs, that is the age-old question. And don’t even get me started on whether or not to dye them a pastel hue. Or whether it’s better to air dry versus blow dry. Because: shrug.
Needless to say there’s a lot to consider when it comes to figuring out your go-to hair move, but in a fortunate turn of events, you can look to the stars for inspo. Because, just as your astrological sign gives you insight into your personality, relationships, and crystal preferences, so too can it help predict your beauty look.
“This mode of discovery may resonate with your style choices even more than you might expect,” says Lumi Pelinku, astrologist and hairstylist at Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa.
She notes that your sun sign—your primary—contains the essence of your core being, so of course it provides some style inspo. But Penlinku advises also checking your rising and Venus signs (you can find these out on Cafe Astrology). “Look to your rising sign on day-to-day looks for your hair. And Venus in your horoscope shows how you project your feminine energy to the world—so it can define how you glam up to your most beautiful potential.”
Well, that’s definitely more personal than bringing an Instagram of a celebrity to your hairstylist. “This’ll create a more customized look that’s really meant to complement you,” says Pelinku.
BRB, checking my Venus sign.

Taurus
The sweet and charming Taurus sign is typically earthy and practical, and has an appreciation for beauty and nature. The bull is symbolized as a romantic, which connects to their innate style.
Hairstyle: Encourage definition and embrace your natural texture. To include a more polished upgrade to your au natural style, use a curling wand or straightening iron for nighttime looks.
Haircut: No-nonsense haircuts are an ideal match to your simple approach to life. Try medium-long haircuts without too much going on (i.e. minimal layers).

Geminis are light-hearted, whimsical, and changeable in the most creative ways. Their personality is often expressed through style.

Cancer
This compassionate sign values the ways of the past—they’re the old souls of the zodiac. As for the actual symbol of the crab, it symbolizes the need to find balance as well as protection for vulnerabilities.
Hairstyle: Something clean and polished would be best suited to your lifestyle. Think day-to-day looks that have bounce and shine.
Haircut: A lob or medium-length haircut will complement your busy schedule. With hair this length, you’re free to experiment with undone lengths or a simple, sleek ponytail.
Hair color: Like the pearlescent rays of your natural ruler, the moon, you prefer your hair to appear as though it reflects—so glosses can help to emphasize all the shine you wish to express to the world.
Leo
The Leo sign is often described as creative, adventurous, and bold. Leos exude the biggest presence of the all the zodiac signs, and it’s all because of their warm energy.
Hairstyle: Wear your hair like the lion—full of volume.
Haircut: For a statement, wear your hair on the shorter side—collar-bone length—to guarantee maximum volume. Longer cuts with piece-y layers will also appeal to your lifestyle.
Hair color: Look for warmer colors that accentuate your sunny personality.
Virgo
Virgos are clever, charismatic, and timeless. Often known as the perfectionist of the zodiac, this trait applies to all of their life and goals.
Hairstyle: Styles that require intricate detail are your perfect match. A sleek ponytail with an off-center part would be ideal for on-the-go. Or you can try a flat-ironed style with a perfect middle part.
Haircut: Try a classic collarbone-length haircut, and look to simple and clean haircuts with precise lines.
Hair color: Since you’re one of the most seamless and simple signs of the zodiac, a hair color process called sombre (AKA: “softer ombre”) would go best with your low-maintenance lifestyle.
Libra
Known to possess an air of grace and beauty, Libra’s strive to maintain balance. Their symbol of scales is a reminder to seek balance and look at all different angles.
Hairstyle: Hairstyles that are soft would go best with your peace-loving persona. As your sign is represented by the scales, you can wear your hair with perfect symmetry, parting it straight down the middle.
Haircut: As a romantic at heart, you can sport haircuts that are long layered and feminine; be sure to include some framing in the front.
Hair color: Like your planetary ruler, Venus, you exude softness and grace. Highlights and colors that bring in warmth would go best with your demure yet stylish nature.
Scorpio
Deep and mysterious, Scorpios are the most captivating of all signs. Scorpios wield strength, power, and transformation.
Hairstyle: As a femme fatale, your ideal styles are those with a daring side, so try fringe or some sort of side-bang.
Haircut: Scorpio is the sign of metamorphosis, so your hair style may undergo many extremes. Haircuts such as pixies or a strong bob would show off your bold and sultry side beautifully.
Hair color: Your choices of hair color can show off your mystery and depth, so opt for darker brunette hues.
Sagittarius
The Sagittarius sign is known to be free, optimistic, and adventurous. They have a flair for life, and a love of exploring what’s new.
Hairstyle: Confident and full of zest, you can sport almost any type of hairstyle. Look for those that spark your creativity, and experiment with dazzling accessories. (Try scrunchies!)
Haircut: Possibilities are endless with jovial Jupiter as your planetary ruler. A bold haircut with a dash of eccentricity suits you—look at trendy baby bangs or textured bobs.
Hair color: A Sagittarius is known to go with the flow—so consider a jewel-toned hue or something more out-of-the-box to go with your adventurous spirit.
Capricorn
This sign’s animal is the sea goat, which symbolizes a dual nature. The fish counterpart represents spirituality, passion, and connection, while the goat represents intelligence, ambition, and stability.
Hairstyle: As the responsible and ambitious sign of the zodiac, aim for styles that involve a simple, no-nonsense approach to keep up with your great strides. A simple blow-dry and top knot suit you well.
Haircut: Look to medium-length with long layers—it’s simple to maintain and long enough to pull up when you’re in the midst of a hectic schedule.
Hair color: Try a more simple, conservative hue to show off your powerful disposition, for instance a one-shade hue with lowlights.
Aquarius
The Aquarius sign is known to be innovative, friendly, and philanthropic at heart. They’re totally original, so they’re unconventional and they have great desire to express their individuality.
Hairstyle: As an Aquarius, you have quite an eye to spot future trends since evolutionary Uranus is your planetary ruler. From sleek ponytails to crimped hairstyles, you’re the kind to wear (and pull off) many different hairstyles until you find your perfect match.
Haircut: You have versatile tastes in style, so medium to longer haircuts are ideal. Include piece-y layers and fringe to support your creative side.
Hair color: As the most futuristic and unique sign of the zodiac, your choices of hair color tend to make statements that’ll inspire others. Rock bold highlights or a pink or electric blue accent piece to perfectly emphasize your creative spirit.
Pisces
Pisces are imaginative, sensitive, and otherworldly. The symbol of the connected fish swimming in opposite directions is a representation of the soul’s longing to escape from restrictions of controlled and limited ways of being.
Hairstyle: Because you’re a water element, you’re likely to gravitate towards mermaid waves. Flaunt a fishtail braid or spritz on the sea salt sprays.
Haircut: You’re known to be artistic and unconventional, so haircuts that are medium to waist-long may be the best match to your free spirit and personality. Incorporate some strategically placed layers to enhance the natural texture.
Hair color: Like the echoes of dreamy Neptune, adding some highlights to your hair will also create a similar illusory effect.
Aries
The Aries sign is known to be dynamic, proud, and daring. Through their warrior-type personality, they can take on the world with confidence.
Hairstyle: Bold Aries matches well with a style that’s texturized and disheveled. I suggest experimenting with barrettes or incorporating tousled updos to make a bold statement with your hair.
Haircut: Because of your confidence, you’d do fine with a pixie or pixie fringe that makes a power statement. Or you can try a medium-length cut with disheveled layers for an edgy look.
Hair color: Warm undertones could emphasize your fiery personality, so if you’re looking to color your hair, try warmer shades like honey, strawberry blonde, coppery red, and chestnut brown.
