Can Tarot cards help me decide what hair color to dye?

Hello! This is a very interesting question, and one many people are curious about. As someone who frequently plays with Tarot, I can tell you with certainty: Yes, you can, but perhaps not in the way you imagine.

Tarot cards won't directly reveal a card that clearly states, "You should dye your hair dirty orange" or "Ash blonde would suit you perfectly." It's not an automatic color selector.

Think of it as a tool to help you converse with your deepest self. Hair dyeing isn't just about changing color; it often represents a desire to change your mood, your state, or to project a new image to the world. Tarot cards can help you figure out what kind of "energy" or "feeling" you truly crave internally.

So, how can you actually do this? Here's a simple approach:

Step One: Clarify "Why" You Want to Dye Your Hair

Before drawing cards, take a moment to ask yourself:

Do I want a change of mood, to bid farewell to the past?
Do I hope to look more confident and vibrant?
Do I want to try a bolder, more unique style?
Or am I simply doing it for fun, wanting a fresh new look?

Understanding your motivation will make your subsequent interpretation more accurate.

Step Two: Ask a "Good Question"

Don't directly ask: "What color should I dye?" That question is too specific for Tarot to answer effectively. Try asking something like this instead:

"What kind of energy/style would best suit me as I embrace a new beginning?"
"How can I better express my inner confidence through my external appearance?"
"Please give me some inspiration for a new hair color; what feeling should it bring me?"

Step Three: Draw and Interpret the Card

You can draw just one card as your core inspiration. Then, consider what feeling that card evokes for you.

Here are a few examples to help you understand:

If you draw The Sun card: This card is full of sunshine, confidence, and vibrant energy. This might suggest that bright, warm colors would suit you well. For example, gold, bright brown, honey tea, or lively copper or orange tones. It's telling you to choose a color that makes you shine in a crowd and makes you feel happy!
If you draw The Moon or The High Priestess card: Both of these cards carry a sense of mystery, intuition, tranquility, and introspection. In this case, cool-toned, deep, or hazy colors might better align with this feeling. For instance, dark blue, blue-black, silver-grey, purple shades, or colors that appear layered and mysterious.
If you draw The Empress card: The Empress represents abundance, creativity, comfort, and the energy of Mother Earth. This could point towards natural, soft, and vibrant colors. Such as various warm brown tones, chestnut, gentle reds (like maple leaf red)—colors that make you appear approachable and comfortable.
If you draw The Magician card: The Magician is full of creativity and possibility, daring to try new things. This might be encouraging you to be bold and experiment with colors you haven't considered before, like highlights, ombre, or more personalized shades, to showcase your unique creativity.

The Most Important Reminder:

Tarot offers you inspiration and direction, not commands. It helps you clarify the feeling you desire, but the final decision rests with you.

If the Tarot suggests warm golden tones, but you personally despise gold, then don't dye it! Perhaps you can start from the core feeling of "warmth, sunshine" and find a color you like that still brings that feeling, such as a warm brown or copper red.

So, treat Tarot as your style consultant and psychological analyst. It helps you uncover your inner needs, and then you can take this "mood report" to your hairdresser to create the hair color that suits you best! Happy dyeing!

Of course, but Tarot cards might not give you a direct color answer, like "you should dye your hair green." It's more like a tool to help you explore your inner thoughts.

You can try it this way:

First, calm your mind and focus on the question: "I want a new hair color to change myself." Then, draw a card.

The appearance of this card will give you direction and inspiration. You can find inspiration from the card's imagery, colors, and its symbolic meaning.

For example:

If you draw The Sun card: This card is full of light, positivity, and vibrant energy. The card itself is golden. You might associate this with warm, bright hair colors, such as golden, orange, or lustrous copper-brown. These colors can make you look more energetic.
If you draw The Moon card: This card represents intuition, the subconscious, and mystery. You might think of more dreamy, hazy, or profound colors, such as silver-gray, misty blue, deep purple, or even Morandi colors with a gray undertone.
If you draw The Empress card: This card is full of creativity, abundance, and earthy, maternal power. You might consider natural, soft, and textured colors, such as various shades of brown, chestnut, or flaxen like wheat.

In short, Tarot cards don't make decisions for you; they help you clarify: What kind of energy and mood do you hope to bring to yourself by dyeing your hair?

Do you want to feel more confident? Or more serene? More vibrant? Or to express more individuality?

Once you understand this, you'll naturally know which hair color best suits your current state. Treat it as a fun game; the final choice is still yours.
