It's hard to count how many hair trends [1] we've seen go viral on TikTok in the last several months. Similarly, it's hard to count how many of those exact same trends we've saved to our archive of hairstyles to try someday. This is all to say, TikTok has become a treasure trove of all sorts of beauty hacks [2] and inspiration, and we'd absolutely be lying if we said we haven't already tested out (and approved of) a few of the things that have crossed our feeds already.
There's really a hair trend out there for everyone [3], and if trying to sort through them all sounds like an overwhelming task, we're here to give you some guidance. Whether you're a bold, adventurous Aries or a Capricorn who's known for being the lowest of low maintenance, keep reading to find out which TikTok hair trend you should try based on your astrological sign.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Braided Cat Ears
As an Aquarius, there's nothing you love more than taking risks and standing out — and this applies just as much with your hair. These braided cat ears will help you do exactly that.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Flipped Ponytail
The flipped ponytail is the blast-from-the-past hairstyle trend that will satisfy the dreamy, escapist personality of a Pisces.
Aries (March 21 - April 19): Chunky Highlights
Subtlety isn't in the Aries DNA — you're bold and spontaneous, just like chunky highlights. Sure, most people may have left this trend in the early 2000s, but you like to follow your own rules, naysayers be damned.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Side Part
OK, so the cool kids on TikTok may be saying that side parts are officially out [4], but Tauruses are known for being stubborn, and you won't give up the classic beauty trends you love without a fight. Your side part is here to stay, and we're definitely not mad about it.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21): Two-Toned Hair
Geminis are known for being playful and outgoing — not to mention multifaceted, with two layers to your personality — so why not play that up with a two-toned hair colour to match?
Cancer (June 22 - July 22): Bubble Braids
Cancers are minimalists at heart, but that doesn't mean you can't take things up a notch when you want to. Bubble braids will give you the best of both worlds: they're low maintenance with enough of a modern upgrade to wear for just about any occasion.
Leo (July 23 - August 22): The Farrah Fawcett Flip
Leos like to feel glamorous at all times — after all, you're a maximalist — and we can't think of too many things that are quite as glam or over the top as the big, Farrah Fawcett style curls [5] that have recently taken TikTok by storm.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Middle Part
Virgos are known for being practical, and with hair, you're likely to look for the simplicity in trends. Middle parts are about as easy as it gets.
Libra (September 23 - October 23): Low Ponytail
You can never go wrong with a low ponytail: it can be dressed up or down for any occasion and, much like a Libra, it's quite the crowd pleaser.
Scorpio (October 24 - November 21): Jumbo Box Braids
Scorpios have a powerful spirit, so you need a bold hairstyle like jumbo box braids to match your energy.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Sock Curls
This hack [6] is equal parts wacky and fun, just like a Sagittarius, but it's also effective and produces real, mind-blowing results. On top of being so much easier than the traditional method of curling your hair, it puts a lot less stress on your hair than a curling wand or other heat tool would.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Curtain Bangs
You're practical, and you love a look that feels natural but can still make you feel glamorous. Enter: curtain bangs [7], a more noncommittal hairstyle that's the right amount of chic and effortless.
