Hair horoscopes: Can your sign predict the updo for you?

Date August 15, 2014

Is there any beauty task more daunting than keeping hair off the back of your neck when it’s humid outside? Updos are obviously the answer but what kind? These are the important questions that keep us up at night, and finally we realized that the answer was in the very stars we’ve been gazing up at (speaking of, how great was the Super Moon last week? The biggest of 2014!).

If you read your horoscope every morning like we do, you must have, at some point, wished it also told you what outfit to choose and how to wear your hair and makeup. Thankfully, that’s where we come in. We’ve got your updo horoscopes so you no longer have to fret over the centuries-old dilemma of “ponytail vs. braid.” We’re making strides here, people.

1/12

Updo Horoscopes – Aries

Aries

You fiery minx, you. Any true Aries knows that there’s no point in leaving the house if you’re not going to get noticed in a big way. A dramatic pompadour with braided sides is a great way to do just that.

2/12

Updo Horoscopes – Taurus

Taurus

This is the sign that rules the neck and ears, so a Taurus loves a good updo. This earth sign is also grounded and practical, making a no-nonsense ponytail perfect for them.

3/12

Updo Horoscopes – Gemini

Gemini

Geminis are an eccentric bunch, so they’re likely to go for something that makes others come a little closer and ask what exactly is happening on top of their heads (like you’re probably doing with this Katy Perry braided bun…thing).

4/12

Updo Horoscopes – Cancer

Cancer

The romantic of the zodiac, Cancer likes things that are soft, delicate and feminine, just like their fragile souls. An ethereal updo is the way to go.

5/12

Updo Horoscopes – Leo

Leo

Higher. Bigger. Messier. More is always, always more when it comes to a Leo.

6/12

Updo Horoscopes – Virgo

Virgo

Perfectionist Virgo is an earthy, constantly on-the-go sign, so not only do they like their hair to be out of their face, but it has to be prim and proper and all-around flawless, like this gorgeous chignon.

7/12

Updo Horoscopes – Libra

Libra

This air sign gets along with everyone and is quite a social butterfly. Their sweet nature is hard to resist, so what better updo than a classic ballerina bun?

8/12

Updo Horoscopes – Scorpio

Scorpio

A Scorpio’s hair is always big because it’s full of secrets. This sensual and mysterious sign likes looks that are severe, like Blake Lively’s long, tight braided pony.

9/12

Updo Horoscopes – Sagittarius

Sagittarius

What Sagittarius has the time to work on an elaborate ‘do? This traveling fire sign is far too impatient for anything other than a quick, easy and chic topknot.

10/12

Updo Horoscopes – Capricorn

Capricorn

This earth sign is reserved and tends to be on the more serious side, and a classic, neat low ponytail is sure to appeal to them.

11/12

Updo Horoscopes – Aquarius

Aquarius

Aquarius cringes at the thought of going with what’s popular. It’s not that they want to stand out as much as they just want to experiment artistically. Rih’s multi-bun look is perfect for this air sign.

12/12

Updo Horoscopes – Pisces

Pisces

This water sign is the most emotional of the bunch, and the updo that works for them is one that’s intentionally messy and allows for furious tugging and fidgeting as they stress over their latest heartache.
