The Perfect Hair Color For You, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
It's in the stars!
Getty Sometimes in life, we just have to do something totally crazy to find where we belong. Like change our style to match our zodiac sign — hair color and all.
So to do this, why not start with something easy — but totally drastic? Like a new hairstyle for instance. Like Coco Chanel famously quipped, "A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life."
Now, if you've been growing your hair out for what seems like forever (cough, cough ... me), or if you've just gotten comfortable with a style that suits you, it's understandable that you won't want to chop everything off. That stuff takes a long time to grow back!
But instead of chopping it off, why don't you go for something more your style, like color? It doesn't have to be permanent (even though perm hair dye always looks rockin'!) — they have all sorts of temporary hair dyes and chalks that last only a couple of days.
Either way, it's the most gorgeous way to kick off your new mindset on life! Because sometimes we all— no matter your sign — need a little kick in the butt to get to change.
So take a peek and find out your perfect zodiac sign hair color so you can take the plunge (without having to make too many decisions on your own).
From black to platinum blonde, you won't regret it!

OK, this may sound a little crazy, but hear me out. You need something to bring you out of your funk, and — knowing Geminis — the best way to do this is to get out and talk to people. Socialize. No one likes to be stuck in a rut and down in the dumps — especially Gemini women — so the absolute best way to do that is to do something drastic. Coloring your hair orange is not only absolutely gorgeous (ombre anyone??), but also a fantastic way to get people to come to you. Who would compliment a woman with hair like this?!
Cancer hair color (June 21 - July 22): Violet

The most deeply emotional sign of the zodiac, Cancer women need some way of expressing themselves without being all ... out there. In that case, going with a deep violet hair color says to the world how amazingly unique and quirky you are while still maintaining that little mystery. Cancer women — don't be afraid to go bold. Take that first step and the rest will come easier.

OK, so you're probably thinking that yellow looks good on no one. And you're (kind of) right ... if you're talking about Big Bird yellow all over your head. But if you're looking for something bold, new, creative, eye-catching, and super sexy, go for some bright yellow under lights. Talk about being the talk of the town.
Not only will these look stunning, but there's no doubt that with you walking around with yellow hair, you'll be changing your life for the better in one way or another from day one. After all, it's widely known that yellow is the happiest color.
Virgo hair color (August 23- September 22): Light Blue or Grey

So the best thing about being a Virgo is that you are super calm. And people need that in their lives. But with change — especially big ones — comes a ton of stress. So to remember to keep calm and keep on chugging, go for the lighter, calmer colors of blue or grey. Plus, they look pretty much amazing on everyone. Take a deep breath and remember — change is good.
Libra hair color (September 23 - October 22): Green

Now green is such an underrated hair color, but it's just so ... fresh. And that's just what you need to take the first step into your rejuvenated life, don't you think? This color looks awesome on anyone if you do it the right way, and you'll be sure to turn heads. Plus, if you get the right hue for your skin tone, it'll showcase your sparkling, welcoming personality. Do it.
Scorpio hair color (October 23 - November 21): Dark, intense, red

Now we already know that Scorpio women are super intense — sometimes to a fault. But honestly, that's what we love about you. So why not wear that color right out in the open? It's stunning and a color that goes with literally everything — there's no losing with this. And talk about confidence. You'll be ruling the world in no time.

Capricorn women are super deep thinkers, but truly have a gift for seeing things clearly and as they are — even in difficult situations. So what better to show your wisdom and confidence than going with a deep blue color for a change? Dark blue goes with literally any skin tone and looks absolutely killer. The perfect start to your (super rad) life from now on.

You have the keen ability to notice the finer, more elegant details of life, which ultimately makes you a super creative and inspiring personality — so the best way to show on the outside everything you love on the inside is to get yourself some rose gold hair. Not only is it super elegant, but it goes with every skin tone.
Plus, it's work-friendly (how's that for practicality?!)
Pisces hair color (February 19 - March 20): Mermaid Blue

Pisces women are super emotional and intuitive, so there's no better color to express this water sign than mermaid blue. It's gorgeous — especially when it's done ombre, with the lighter colors at the bottom — and it's not overly bold. Just a little color to give you that confidence boost you've been looking for to get you out of your shell.
