There's no denying the skyrocketing popularity of the bob—from shaggy to blunt chops—but if you're unsure which style to get, perhaps it's time to try finding the best bob based on your zodiac sign.
Any hairstylist worth their salt will agree that the best bob for you is the one that suits your everyday lifestyle and personality the most. And considering just how spot-on horoscopes can be, it makes sense to look at your star sign for some guidance. Are you a water sign who appreciates stability (and perhaps a chic French bob)? Or are you a fixed sign who's unafraid to experiment with a dramatic Hollywood bob? For the chameleonic mutable sign (looking at you, Sagittarians), perhaps the versatility and ease of a lob would best complement your free-spirited vibe.
Of course, your chosen haircut should ultimately be the one you love the most (no matter what your birth chart says), but given the endless array of choices available, looking at astrology can be a fun way to navigate the trend this summer. Ahead, find the best bob haircuts to try based on your star sign:
Aquarians are known for being trendsetters and trailblazers (famous Aquarians include Harry Styles, Megan Thee Stallion, Oprah Winfrey, and Jennifer Aniston, if you need any proof), and what better way to embrace your rebellious side than with an ultra-cool shaggy bob?
Considering how social Aquarians can be, the shaggy bob is exactly the conversation starter you need—and you'll no doubt enjoy the compliments it brings.
As one of the most romantic star signs (just ask fellow Pisces Olivia Rodrigo), it's only natural for you to gravitate towards a tousled, woke-up-like-this French bob.
Pisceans are known to be charming, dreamy, and imaginative, just like the versatile French bob. Its slightly longer layers make for a great canvas for accessories and can easily be tied into a half-updo or a petite chignon or ponytail. Très jolie.
Aries are revered for their self-assured, highly competitive nature, so what better way to embrace that ambitious side than with a pristine, precise blunt bob?
Naturally, the straight-edge silhouette of a blunt bob is high-maintenance, but no one fulfills that demand for perfection better than the no-nonsense Aries. That said, Aries do have a tendency to act on a whim, so make sure to have a thorough consultation with your hairstylist before committing to this chop.
If you love all things cozy and comfortable, you're likely to be a textbook Taurus. This star sign enjoys the lovelier things in life and appreciate having a sense of stability, which means something perennially chic and classic like a bob with bangs will suit you perfectly.
Follow in the footsteps of follow Taureans, such as Audrey Hepburn and Lizzo, by pairing a short bob with a matching eyebrow-grazing fringe.
Yes, the micro bob is dramatic and not for the faint of heart, but if anyone can pull it off, it's a Gemini. There's a playfulness to Geminis and a natural sense of curiosity, which makes the whimsical micro bob so alluring for the star sign.
Given that Geminis are generally easily adaptable, there's no doubt that you'll find a myriad of ways to style this statement-making cut—whether it's through accessories or a punchy color. It'll make you the trendsetter of your friendship circle too, which is excellent, given how Geminis are known for being comfortable in social groups.
Cancers are beloved for their gentle, intuitive, and sensitive side (think of famous Cancers like Lana Del Rey, Ariana Grande, and Emily Ratajkowski), which makes the wavy bob the ideal haircut. It's fluffy, soft, and fairly easy-going—all the personality traits found in a classic Cancer.
There's a welcoming warmth to Cancers, which drives many into their orbit, not unlike the endlessly flattering wavy bob, which is a low-maintenance way to embrace a shorter haircut.
Leos are partial to showstopping glam (looking at you, Jennifer Lopez and Madonna) and are often the beauty icons of their social circles, so why not go big with a breathtaking Hollywood bob?
The party-ready, voluminous bob is perfect for a Leo's big personality. This star sign is fearless and inventive (just like fellow Leo Coco Chanel), which makes them the perfect candidate for a red-carpet-ready haircut.
It's easy to recommend a razor-sharp bob to the Virgo—they're so organized, they're unlikely to miss a salon appointment. But given just how Type A they can be in their everyday life, it's probably better to go for a more low-maintenance cut, so they can focus their energy elsewhere. Enter: the layered bob, or a '90s bob, with its soft layers and natural volume. This practical and chic cut lets Virgos spend their time crossing off their endless to-do list instead of dedicating hours to styling.
Lucky Libras really have a keen sense of aesthetic and a penchant for the little details. This means that the little flippy bob (as seen on fellow Libra Kim Kardashian) is a perfect fit for this air sign.
This hairstyle is also a balm for a Libra's indecisive nature, as it's more a styling trick than a specific haircut. They can always opt to style it sans flip, should they change their minds.
Scorpions like Lorde, Willow Smith, and Tracee Ellis Ross march to the beat of their own drum when it comes to style, and the clean-cut, polished finish of the Italian bob can serve as their ideal canvas. The look won't compete with the Scorpio's penchant for trendsetting fashion choices, but rather, complements it.
If there's anyone who'll trick you into thinking they've gotten a bob, it's likely to be a Sagittarius. As a free-spirited star sign who finds it challenging to commit, a long bob (also known as the lob) or a faux bob will let them lean into the shorter style without fully taking the plunge.
The versatility of these longer layers also mirrors the Sagittarius's ability to be easily adaptable in most situations.
Capricorns are the epitome of 'quiet luxury.' They often favor something understated and elegant, things that whisper rather than shout. The grown-up vibe of the graduated bob, which is slightly shorter in the back and longer in the front, is a softer, more modern version of a power haircut, which Capricorns will no doubt gravitate towards.
