Cancer: Crimped beach waves

@emilydobson

Oh Cancer, our dear summer baby. You are known for being kind, sensitive and extremely loyal. Like your crab symbol, you have a hard shell. That shell only cracks with time, revealing your innermost self. Now, in order to show off that inner sparkle, crimp your hair and rock some beach waves this summer season. 

Leo: Slicked-back pony

@elliethumann

Leos are the unwavering leader of the zodiacs. You radiate power, courage and tenacity. Often, you've got money on the brain. A lover of aesthetic and designer everything, diamonds and bold colors like red or hot pink are your jam. To match your fab fits, whip your strands into a sleek, voluminous high pony. 

Virgo: Low braids with ribbon

@itssissysheridan

Virgo, you are simply cool. Whether you mysteriously work in an underground coffee shop, make unique artwork or browse at vintage stores, we love your creative spirit. Aside from that, you are practical, humble and industrious. These loose braids with cute ribbons are perf for all your endeavors. 

Libra: Threaded braids

@anaislee_

Hey, Libra! Word on the street is that you're super social with a sharp sense of intellect. You try to avoid conflict when you can, but justice and equality are important to you. To compliment your peaceful and idealistic views, try wrapping threads around small braids near your face and tying them together in the back. Cool, balanced and connected (just like you!).

Scorpio: Scarf

@olovesuuu

Your charisma is showing—and we're loving it. You're strong in your beliefs and self, and your loyalty is unquestionable. Passionate, persistent and strategic, others never know what you have up your sleeve. Rock a versatile scarf this week for an unexpected twist.

Sagittarius: Half-up with a bow

@gracieabrams

We heart your exploratory energy and can-do attitude. You're always up for an adventure, and your curiosity compliments your bubbly personality. Smart, empathetic and caring, you and Hermione Granger would be BFFs. Add an adorable bow to your half-up half-down to maximize the Sag vibes.

Capricorn: Power bun

@_xochitl.gomez

Always determined, ambitious and practical, you've got your hands full, Capricorn. We know you put the utmost care into your pursuits (whether it be relationships or achievements), and your hair simply cannot get in the way of them. Opt for a high bun with strands pulled out for extra pizzazz. 

Aquarius: Space buns

@bescene

As an Aquarius, you're eccentric, unique and independent. Your creative spirit shines through in all of your relationships. Show off your one-of-a-kind style with space buns.

Pisces: Single braid

@sofiawylie

Empathetic, imaginative and easygoing, your sweet personality is loved by every gal around you. You're drawn to all things artsy and romantic, and your willingness to share your emotions and generosity with others is classic Pisces behavior. A low, romantic braid with a ribbon matches your lovable and gentle vibe.
