Aries season runs from March 20 to April 20. As the start of the astrological year — and spring! — it’s the perfect time to refresh your look by leaning into all things fiery, fun, and fast-paced. Here, astrologers share the best hairstyle ideas for Aries season 2023.
Nothing says Aries quite like a high ponytail. As astrologer Stephanie Gailing says, patience is in short supply this time of year, which is why you’ll want to steer clear of anything fussy or intricate. Go for this look that’s quick and easy but still cute.

If your calendar is jam-packed with a hundred meetings, simply throw your strands up into a chic topknot and call it day, says Gailing. Pull out a few face-framing tendrils to lean into the lived-in, I’m-so-busy look.

Red hair matches this time of year, whether you go for a cherry coke hue, Kendall Jenner’s copper color, or something even brighter. Aries season inspires boldness, Gailing says, so it’ll feel right to turn your red hair Pinterest board dreams into a reality.

Another bold, no-fuss option is the “boss bob” haircut, which is perfect for your tell-it-like-it-is ram energy, says astrologer Zephyr Chan. A blunt bob is the look to have when you want everyone in the room to know you’re in charge.
Sporty French or double dutch braids also seem right. “This is because Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of taking action,” says astrologer Babs Cheung. Aries thrives in competition, which is why she recommends looking to Olympic gymnasts for hair inspo.
Aries rules the face and head, so be sure to show off your mug with something extra sleek. “A slicked-back bun is perfect for the confident and strong-willed Aries,” says astrologer Athen Chimenti. (It’s also really easy to do!)

Blunt cuts that combine elements of choppy hairstyles are another way to embrace Aries season, says astrologer Liz Simmons. “For some, having shorter hair or adding bangs could feel like the start of embracing a new chapter,” she tells Bustle.
For the ultimate bold Aries hairstyle, be brave and get yourself a pixie cut. According to astrologer Masha Loddy, this effortless style frees you up to focus on what really matters, like your long to-do list, that big meeting, or your ever-expanding vision board.
