Maybe you’re already au fait with the old hair dye. Maybe you’ve already rocked most shades on the colour wheel, or maybe, you’ve yet to take the plunge. We get it, cray-cray hair colours look incredible, but they can require a whole heap of confidence and a fair amount of commitment to pull off. But, let’s say you did plan on going bold, though, Where would you head?
Tangerine and pale pink are two of the most popular colour trends to come out of the past few months. Meanwhile experimental techniques like rebel streaks, rogue blonde and dipped ends have given us more opportunities when it comes to our hair colour. If you’re still not sure what shade is for you, you could always let your horoscope help you decide. We’ve rounded up the best colours for each star sign below…
ARIES
COPPER
(21st March-19th April)
The first fire sign of the Zodiac, a fiery copper fits with your bold, ambitious and bright personality. To help it look a little lived-in (you hate feeling, too buttoned up), take a cue from hairstylist, Paco Latorre. “To create this look I did face framing highlights on the fringe and a dipper colour on the roots, then tone with a golden copper.”
Fellow aries: Lady Gaga, Reese Witherspoon, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Kristen Stewart, Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson
TAURUS
DIP-DYE
(20th April-20th May)
Charming, friendly and unshakeable, Taurean’s can be pretty traditional in their approach to beauty, but they do have a naughty side, too. These dipped teal ends link back to your birthstone (if you’re a May Taurus), with a hint of emerald, plus the dipped colour is practical, since you can chop it off and switch things up once it grows out.
Fellow taurus: Adele, Gigi Hadid, Jessica Alba, Gal Gadot, Janet Jackson, Cher, Tina Fey
GEMINI
PEEK-A-BOO PASTELS
(21st May-20th June)
Versatile, curious and experimental, geminis are the most likely to take more of a risk when it comes to their hair colour. The way you see it: it’s hair, it’ll grow back, so why not have fun? Rainbow pastels it is, then.
Fellow geminis: Angelina Jolie, Natalie Portman, Awkwafina, Helena Bonham Carter, Venus Williams, Lucy Hale
CANCER
RUBY
(21st June-22nd July)
Passionate, loyal and intuitive, Cancerian’s easily pick up on others energy and have a lot of love to give. A rich ruby red complements your warm personality, and – if you’re a July Cancerian – you’re birth stone, too. A match made in heaven.
Fellow cancerians: Margot Robbie, Ariana Grande, Mindy Kaling, Meryl Streep, Lana Del Ray, Selena Gomez
LEO
SUNNY TANGERINE
(23rd July-22nd August)
Leo, you’re pure fire. The alpha in every situation, you’re the queen of your social circle. A shy and retiring shade isn’t really up to scratch – you need something passionate, bright and sunny and you’re confident enough to pull it off. If anyone can rock a tangerine hue, it’s you.
Fellow leos: JLo, Rose Byrne, Sandra Bullock, Megan Markle, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence
VIRGO
ICED WHITE
(23rd August-22nd September)
Virgo, you’re neat, systematic and a total perfectionist. You love everything to be orderly and can’t bear stuff out of place. Clean, crisp, white spaces make you feel zen, so translate that into a sleek icy blonde. Yum.
Fellow virgos: Beyonce, Zendaya, Blake Lively, Cameron Diaz, Taraji P. Henson, Lili Reinhart
LIBRA
SOFT PINK
(23rd September-22nd October)
Miss Romantic. Libra’s are pacifists. They favour balance and harmony. You’re naturally diplomatic, charming and flirtatious. We reckon you’d look pretty in pink to match your birth stone (October babies), pink tourmaline.
Fellow libras: Serena Williams, Bella Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brie Larson, Hilary Duff, Gwen Stefani
SCORPIO
ROGUE BLONDE
(23rd October-21 November)
You’re a complicated one, Scorpio. To outsiders you can seem a little scary. You’re powerful, independent and unstoppable, but those closest to you know you’re also loyal, loving and a fierce friend. You can light up a room just as easily as you can throw shade. Rogue blonde is a good choice for you – bright and blonde at the front, then deeper at the back.
Fellow scorpios: Ciara, Kendall Jenner, Kiernan Shipka, Emma Stone, Anne Hathaway, Rachel McAdams, Hailey Bieber
SAGITTARIUS
REBEL STREAK
(22nd November-21st December)
Sags chase adventure. Driven, intellectual and free-spirited, you’ll go with whatever takes your fancy. Energetic and playful, you figure anything is worth a go at least once. Rebel streaks in vivid purple and topaz (your birth stone, December sags) sounds about right. Next month, you’ll probably change it again anyways.
Fellow sagittarius: Miley Cyrus, Zoe Kravitz, Britney Spears, Janelle Monae, Taylor Swift, Tina Turner, Chrissy Teigen
CAPRICORN
LIPSTICK RED
(22nd December-19th January)
Cap, you pride yourself on being prudent, practical and determined, so lipstick red strands may seem a bit out of your comfort zone. That said, you don’t back away from a challenge and as much as you work hard, your closest pals know you have a real playful streak in you, too. Given garnet is your birth stone (Jan capricorns), it feels especially fitting.
Fellow capricorns: Michelle Obama, Dolly Parton, Kate Moss, Mary J Blige, Duchess of Cambridge, Zooey Deschanel
AQUARIUS
AMETHYST
(20th January-18th February)
Bold choices don’t faze you too much, you’ve always thought outside the box. You’re inventive, original and assertive, Aquarius. You’re happy to do you and you don’t feel the need to pander for others approval. Rather than chasing trends, you’re more likely to simply go for what you like. Amethyst is your birth stone (Feb aquarians), and it’d make a pretty neat hair shade, too…
Fellow aquarius: Alicia Keys, Kerry Washington, Shakira, Chloe Grace Moretz, Yara Shahidi
PISCES
AQUAMARINE
(19th February-20th March)
You’re a kind and calming influence, Pisces. When things get heated, you’re able to cool them down. Soulful and intuitive you connect with people on a deep level. Even though you’re the last water sign, you’re a breath of fresh air. A breezy aquamarine is a great match for you.
Fellow pisces: Rihanna, Drew Barrymore, Emily Blunt, Dakota Fanning, Lupita Nyong’o, Rebel Wilson
