Tina Farey, Editorial Director at Rush Hair, breaks down the horoscope hair trend…
Whilst hair colour isn’t written in the stars, it’s a good place to get inspiration. With Gen Z’s ever-growing obsession with astrology, hair horoscopes (or zodiacs) are becoming increasingly popular.
The horoscope hair trend refers to a hairstyle or hair colour that draws inspiration from the characteristics of a person’s zodiac sign. From the associated colours or personality traits of that sign, the hair horoscope can be used as inspiration for a refreshed look which can be tailored to the individual’s preference and style.
I love astrology and for me, this is a fun trend to get your clients involved in. As we move into spring, here are my top suggestions for each zodiac…
Aries
Known for their fiery nature, I would suggest a pastel shade to balance this. This shade is subtly bold and vibrant without being too overpowering. This is the perfect shade for the change in season.
Taurus
One of the most romantic signs, I’d opt for mermaid waves if you’re a Taurus. This style has an essence of romance, whilst tapping into the sign’s femininity.
Gemini
Geminis like to think out of the box, so they might be interested in adding a pop of colour to their look. Whether it’s a fun colour panel or contrasting highlights, spring is the perfect time for Geminis to switch up their look.
Cancer
Falling in the months of June and July, Cancers radiate sunshine, so I’d opt for a gorgeous golden blonde – an intensely glossy, rich hue which mixes warmer beige tones and bright golden ribbons. Add a few lowlights blended throughout to achieve that natural sun-kissed effect.
Leo
Leo’s are represented by the lion – so my mind instantly goes to a gorgeous auburn shade. It’s a cocktail of mocha mousse and copper tones which adds a fiery undertone to the lighter base – this is the ultimate auburn for spring!
Virgo
Known for being organised perfectionists, I could envision a Virgo with a pristinely polished up-do. This style reigned supreme in 2025 and will continue to grow in popularity as the ‘Old Money’ aesthetic is back for spring.
Libra
Libras would suit long hair with long layers blended throughout – balancing them out. This sign is recognised for its effortlessly chic appeal and love of aesthetic beauty.
Scorpio
One of the most mysterious signs of the zodiac, I’d choose something to match this vibe. For Scorpios, I’d opt for a super-dark yet creamy brunette. This shade balances seduction and sophistication perfectly.
Sagittarius
A fire sign that is known for being the life of the party. This spring, I’d tap into that for Sagittarius and opt for a big bouncy blow-dry. This timeless hairstyle oozes glamour and confidence. Start with teasing the crown to achieve that effortlessly voluminous look and use a large barrel round brush to blow-dry the hair, clipping the section once finished.
Capricorn
Capricorns are known for being hardworking and organised. For this sign, I would suggest a beautiful blunt bob that hits the jawline. Styled smooth, straight, and sleek, this is a perfect style to compliment a Capricorn’s nature, and it exudes sophistication.
Aquarius
Whimsical and wild – adding space buns are the perfect option for an Aquarius. The key to nailing this trend is to create a relaxed feel to the style – harmonising with the change in season. The beauty of it is that it doesn’t have to be too neat and perfected and this look is best paired with wispy bangs to frame the face.
Pisces
Pisceans are very creative. This spring, I would suggest a shorter style that has a slight edge. Think a textured pixie cut, shaved style or even a shag/mullet that will add dimension and movement to the hair whilst flattering the face.
