Why spend hours, if not days, pondering your next haircut [1] when you can let the universe decide for you [2]? (We're not being sarcastic, we really mean it.) If you're an astrology-lover, chances are you already let your zodiac sign and monthly/weekly/daily horoscope guide plenty of choices you make, so what's one more?
Your zodiac sign can be a very telling thing — it reveals your strengths, your weaknesses, what your key personality traits are, and more. With this in mind, it's easy to understand how a particular sign can match up with a particular haircut trend for fall [3]. Buzz cuts are bold and rebellious like an Aquarius, while textured layers with bangs scream carefree and fun-loving, which perfectly sums up Leos.
If you're contemplating what haircut trend to try [4] this season, let the stars guide you by picking a hairstyle based on your zodiac sign.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Invisible Layers
As a Capricorn, your key personality traits include being ambitious, but also practical and realistic. You need a haircut that looks natural and fits your down-to-earth beauty vibe, like a cut so subtle, you can barely see it. "The term 'invisible layers' [5] refers to removing weight and adding movement into a haircut [6] while creating a finished look with minimal or no layers at all," Omar Antonio [7], hairstylist and global top artist for Sebastian Professional, told POPSUGAR.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Buzz Cut
A true rebel at heart like yourself should have a haircut that matches your bold personality — like a buzz cut. "Cutting it all off feels fresh and new," said Larry Sims [8], celebrity hairstylist and cofounder of Flawless by Gabrielle Union [9].
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The Shag
You're empathetic, creative, and romantic, meaning a retro-inspired shaggy haircut will fit your overall vibe perfectly. "Shaggy layered looks are for the more fashion-forward and will offer style without the need for constant upkeep," said Joseph Maine [10], celebrity hairstylist and cofounder of Trademark Beauty [11].
Aries (March 21-April 19): Curtain Bangs
As a fire sign, you're confident, passionate, and not afraid to make a statement. Therefore, pulling off curtain bangs [12] should be a walk in the park for you. "Curtain bangs are making a comeback because of the '70s inspiration in the current fashion scene," said Michael Bowman, a stylist at NYC's Rob Peetoom salon [13]. "A more modern twist would be to make the bangs a little shorter and textured in the center, so they can also be worn as a full textured fringe on days you want to change it up."
Taurus (April 20-May 20): The French Bob
Yes, Tauruses are best known for their stubbornness, but who said that had to be a bad thing? You need a powerful haircut to match your powerful personality, like the insanely chic french bob [14].
Gemini (May 21-June 20): The Clavicut
You're outgoing and adaptive but also indecisive. The clavicut is a collarbone-grazing style [15] that is the best of both worlds: short enough to pass as a long bob, but long enough to hit your clavicle.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): The Lob
Cancers are compassionate and loving but also security-seeking. You're probably not one to go too bold with your hairstyle, so the lob cut [16] is a good fit for you. "It [looks good on] all hair types and face shapes," said master hairstylist Edward Tricomi [17] of Warren Tricomi Salons. "This cut features back strands resting on the nape of your neck with the face-framing strands dipping an extra inch or two until they kiss your collarbone — an edgy yet sophisticated hairstyle [18], all at the same time."
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Textured Layers With Bangs
You are creative and bold and enjoy being the life of the party — the haircut equivalent to that is textured layers with bangs. "This cut screams volume, carefree, and easy," Sims said.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Soft Blunt Bob
Creative, kind, and reliable are all words to describe you, but you also tend to be an overthinker. A fitting haircut for your personality is the tried-and-true soft blunt bob [19]. "Shorter lengths will continue to reign with softer edges and more movement, but this year, bob haircuts [20] will become softer and a little more grown out," celebrity hairstylist David Lopez [21] said.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): One-Length Cuts
In typical Libra fashion, you thrive when things are orderly and balanced, kind of like a one-length cut. "The style is enticing because it is easy maintenance with a lot of flexibility," said Michael Dueñas [22], celebrity hairstylist and cofounder of Support Creatives [23].
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pixie Cut
We can't think of a better haircut for an intense and seductive person like a Scorpio than the pixie cut. The extrashort length is chic, no-fuss, and daring.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Long Lengths
You're adventurous, fun-loving, and free-spirited but also minimalist and low-maintenance when it comes to your appearance. To you, a short haircut looks like more work in upkeep than it's worth. Long, butt-grazing lengths it is.
