For many people, their hairstyles reflect their personality. Even when the style is changed up day-to-day or for special occasions, there’s still an air of them in it. You go with what you like or sometimes with what’s easiest.

But did you know that there are some personality traits that are common to people with certain hairstyles? Think about the people you know and their hair color, texture, cut, or style. Do you believe they share something?

We’ve gathered theories from several sources on what a hairstyle can say about a person, and some of these stick. You’ll find them entertaining, interesting, and maybe even insightful!

1. Dark Black Hair

   Respectful, likes to be active and move around a lot. These folks are also strong-willed and have deep emotions.

2. Red Hair

   Passionate firecrackers with vibrant personalities. Boredom isn’t part of their lifestyle but lots of laughter and fun is.

3. Light Blonde

   Daydreamers, fun-loving.

4. Gray Hair

   Mentally stable and very mature. These folks are comfortable in their own skin.

5. Bald

   Yes, we went there. Whether intentionally bald or not, this group is confident, highly intelligent, and well-off financially. This person also has a big heart and loves love.

6. Wild Color/Multicolored Hair

   This person is not a conformist and likes to buck tradition – and sometimes authority. Go rebels!

8. Hair with a Perfect Center Part

   Loves balance and calmness. This person is also ambitious and extremely reliable.

9. Ponytail

   If your go-to style is the ponytail, then you’re probably down-to-earth and very practical. You are also busy but low maintenance.
