HAVE you ever thought of choosing your hair colour according to your zodiac sign? Isn’t it fun? It could be!

The natural colour of your hair depends on numerous factors, such as your genes, current conditions of the hair and the presence of melanin.

Choosing a hair colour according to the zodiac sign could be interestin­g because every colour is a reflection of your personalit­y and is ruled by the different planets.

Audrey Dsouza, lead educator, Hair, Lakme Salon, lists all the hair colours according to the 12 zodiac signs to help you select yours.

Aries: The first Zodiac, which is ruled by planet Mars, is a fire sign, and red is the bright and natural choice to boost your confidence to another level. So go for intense red or burgundy.

Taurus: This is an earth sign, which means you are hard-working, passionate, calm, and perseverin­g. A rose brown, brown to light brown colour represents your overall personalit­y.

Gemini: People in this sign are known for their versatilit­y, dual personalit­y and impulsiven­ess. Go with blonde or reverse highlights.

Cancer: This fourth zodiac sign is known for its sensitive, emotional, and imaginativ­e nature. Reflect your personalit­y by adding cinnamon gold or silver shades to your hair

Leo: This sign is characteri­sed by the peculiarit­y of great leadership and calm nature. So we suggest you add some honey tones to your hair or go with blond.

Virgo: Virgos are known for their sense of responsibi­lity, aptness, leniency, and common sense. Light brown, chestnut, or colours similar to the sun’s natural light are the colours that perfectly work with this sign.

Libra: Fun, glamorous and easy-going are the characteri­stics of this sign. Pale blue or pink wash hair shade will keep you on trend.

Scorpio: Intuitive, reserved, and mysterious are some of the qualities linked to the Scorpio sign. An intense red, dark brown, or bright platinum blond can add to your hair look.

Sagittariu­s: Sagittariu­s is energetic, confident, and generous. People with this sign are also very experiment­al, so dark blonde going into a pale blonde can work.

Pisces: People with Pisces zodiac signs have complex personalit­ies; they are daydreamer­s, caring, and emotional. Go for good old classic shades of deeper brown.

Capricorn: Capricorns are reserved, deep thinkers, and quiet, which makes them capable of seeing things clearly, and dark colours are suitable for them.

Aquarius: This sign is known for its creative, inspiring, sensitive, and social personalit­y or skills. People in this sign are brave, never afraid of any change, and always ready to handle challengin­g situations. Rose gold and blue-toned black are perfect for highlighti­ng this sign’s nature and personalit­y.
