Disclaimer: Here at Cosmo Beauty, we encourage our community to sport any hairstyle that makes them feel confident. In other words, we don't like subscribing to the idea that you've got to have a certain haircut just because you have a specific face shape – or in this case, star sign! That said, if your star sign hairstyle does speak to you, you best believe we're all for it!
Pisces – mermaid waves
(20th February – 20th March)
Pisceans, a water sign, are worldly wise ~old souls~ with enormous depths of compassion and empathy for others. Paired with their creativity and imagination, these characteristics make for an artistic hairstyle fit for an ocean Goddess! Enter: Mermaid waves.
This dreamy, soft texture mirrors the fluid, free-spirited nature of the Pisces water sign, effortlessly blending beauty with mystique. Ooooh! And bonus: They're super easy to achieve, too. Plait your hair overnight to reveal Kardashian-like locks in just eight hours or invest in a waver for speedy results.

Aries – undercut pixie
(21st March – 20th April)
The bold, edgy undercut pixie embodies confidence and power, just like you, Aries. You're always ready to take risks, and this hairstyle is no different – it's daring, fresh and effortlessly cool. Plus, it's all about maintenance, which means there's never time for boredom (which Ariens are notorious for). In a few weeks, you'll see some regrowth, meaning that it's time to learn new ways of styling!
Arien celebrity Emma Watson with her 2010 pixie cut is the blueprint of this look.
Taurus – blunt bob
(21st April – 21st May)
The characteristics of a blunt bob are the same as a Taurus; they're both clean, sleek, and give major boss energy. The style itself is, in equal parts, polished and sophisticated, but low-maintenance enough to achieve that effortlessly cool vibe Tauruses are known for.
Just take Gigi Hadid's 'do as a prime example. The model is a Taurus and totally rocks the blunt bob, proving it's the ultimate style for anyone born under this sign!
Gemini – long choppy layers
(22nd May – 21st June)
Geminis like variety, keeping their options open and having lots of opportunities on the go. So, to maximise versatility in their hair, we recommend a long layered haircut.
The mid-length choppy cut is super adaptable, meaning it can be worn in multiple ways. Whether tied in a ponytail, worn half up/half down or styled in Sabrina Carpenter-like curls, there's a lot you can do with long layered lengths. The options are endless, Gemini.
Cancer – 60s bouffant bob
(22nd June - 22nd July)
We all know that Cancer women are the Queens of nostalgia, so, what better what to lean into that than with a 60s old money bouffant bob?! Plus, Cancerians are naturally drawn to things that scream class and comfort, and this cut? Iconic. It's sleek, low-maintenance, and totally gives 'rich bi*ch' energy.
You get the perfect balance of effortless glam and mysterious vibes, just like your sign – soft on the outside, but secretly a powerhouse.
Leo – voluminous curls
(23rd July – 22nd August)
It's no secret that Leos love attention, and so, to make like Gretchen Wieners (read: that's why her hair is so big, it's full of secrets), we recommend extravagant, eye-catching voluminous curls. The bigger, the better! Not only that, but the Leo star sign is represented by a lion, and what kind of hair does a lion have? A big golden mane! Need I say more?
To achieve the look, those with natural curls can embrace their texture, or if you need a lil help in the va va voom department, add volumising products and some heat with a curling tong.
Virgo – a Charlotte cut
(23rd August - 22nd September)
Need something organised in a jiffy? Done to absolute perfection? Get yourself a Virgo in your life, amirite? This sign is polished and primed to the hilt, think Charlotte Yorke from SATC vibes, so naturally the best style/cut is going to match her prim, glossy look. Virgo queen Zendaya loves to rock this look, which is as modest as it is timeless. Keep your hair hydrated and damage-free with treatments and serums so the shine can be seen from space!
To keep your hair glossy you need a tip-top haircare regimen and an at-home gloss will keep your shine as high as your standards, purrr.
Libra – Botticcelli waves
(23rd September - 22nd October)
Big Libra energy is all about finding joy and beauty in everything – they are also lauded for their own beauty so naturally you need hair reminiscent of a beautiful, artistic time like the renaissance.
Cascading waves are a libra vibe, long and luscious like you stepped outta of a shell in a Botticelli painting. Not got the length? No stress it’s super easy to experiment with clip-ins before you bite the extensions bullet (but if you do opt for stennies, you won’t regret it just ask Cosmo’s Clare).
Scorpio – a sexy blowout
(23rd October - 21st November)
There is no sign more passionately sexy than a Scorpio whew, we are fanning ourselves at the thought of our faves. And a sexy sign deserves sexy hair. We are talking about big, blown out sexy volume that defies gravity.
Whether your hair is a bob or a 26” inch bust-down, inject a lil volume in that ASAP for instant sexy appeal that matches your passionate and brave traits. Arm yourself with a hot air brush and root-lifting spray for your next styling sesh.
Sagittarius – natural hair goals
(22nd November - 21st December)
It's a Sag's world and we are just living in it. Adventurous, honest and, let's be honest, impatient, Sagittarius do not play by any rules and kinda don't have time to faff around with hair. That's why their best hairstyles are as natural as they come.
And when we say natural we. mean natural in all textures and densities – whether you have pin-straight hair or full and fab curls, you have to let your locks shine in all it's natural hair glory. Honestly, it's what Mother Nature wants.
Capricorn – a chic updo
(22nd December - 19th January)
Capri-suns listen up, before we lose your attention to something you deem way more pressing like, IDK, ruling the world, here's the tea on your best hair look. The logical and practical Capricorn needs a style that's not going to distract from their world dominance so length-wise it has to be long enough to throw up into a high pony for max concentration or working out. For an out-out hairstyle, a fun updo a la fellow Capricorn Jennie Kim says 'I mean business', but can still be cute while you're at it.
Aquarius – jaw-skimming bob
(20th January - 19th February)
We all know that Aquarians don't stick to the books and practicality isn't always on the top of your list. It's ok, as one of the most independent and creative star signs, a statement haircut is always on the cards and few styles as statement as a jaw-skimming bob. Keep things thick with one layer or add in a few layers for more of a bixie cut – the choice is yours!
