Looking for your next hairstyle can sometimes feel like a never-ending search that culminates in a trip to the same hairdresser you always use and only a slight variation on your usual style. Lucky for you, we’ve done a deep dive into the ever-popular world of astrology to bring you some suggestions for your next look. If you can’t trust yourself to pick the perfect style at least you can put your fate in the stars.
The first of the twelve zodiacs and a dynamic fire sign, Aries season welcomes the spring equinox and promise of new beginnings, making members of this sign adventurous, ambitious and, oftentimes, competitive. Your characteristics go hand-in-hand with that of a natural born leader which makes even more sense when you learn of your sign’s planetary ruler Mars, god of war in Roman mythology and a representation of survival, instinct and sexual desire in astrology.
For this sign, we’d suggest some Bantu knots. It’s a little more off-beat than conventional up-dos or your standard braid. Ever ready for action, this hairstyle speaks to the adventurer in you and stands out just like you do.

Tauruses are usually characterised by the sign’s association with the Earth element. Grounded and fixed in the physical world, this sign is stereotypically seen as stubborn but you can also be steady in your unwavering loyalty and realistic perspective. You wont find a sign more likely to bathe in the pleasures of earthly offerings quite like a Taurus. You enjoy comfort and pleasure, both in a sensual and material sense.
As a Taurus, you would definitely indulge in a luscious billowy wig or extensions like you would everything else. Rather than something super edgy, this is a timeless yet chic look to embody your love of enjoyment and rational outlook.

Inquisitive and quick-witted, Gemini’s are the great thinkers of the zodiac and are well-known for having two sides to their personality as symbolised by your celestial symbol figure, twins.

Despite your reputation for being two-faced, Geminis are often social butterflies and chatterboxes.
Masters of versatility, Geminis easily adapt to the situation at hand, making a colourful wig the perfect choice for your next hairstyle. This is temporary, just like your current persona.
