May is the month of the Taurus and the Gemini. Gemini’s are known for being fast, flirty, ambitious, and adaptable. Some people call Gemini personalities ‘double-faced’ or ‘two-sided,’ but we don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a ‘split personality’ -- in fact, check out our blog here!. They’re a little indecisive (since they know what they like) and because of that, they’re slow to settle down.
Tauruses are bulls, so they’re strong-willed and fiercely loyal. Contrary to their bull nature, they tend to enjoy peaceful, romantic, and serene surroundings.
Both signs crave a sense of comfort, safety, and security in their lives - whether within themselves or in their surroundings - and the month May will act as a perfect springboard for their desires for growth and stability.
Tauruses and Geminis aside, the truth is that we’ve all endured a lot over the last 12 months, and as a result of those dynamic changes, we’ve undergone a number of phases of development. We’ve learned a lot and we’ve been through even more, and May is the month for us to successfully troubleshoot what comes next. So if you’re enrolled in school or starting a new job (or going back to your old one), you’ll be primed and ready for new tasks, deadlines, and following directions. May is also the month of good fortune, so you may encounter a windfall of financial success (or at the very least, a reduction of financial fear or insecurity). Overall, it’s going to be a month of some much needed peace, promise, and prosperity.
As spring starts to wind down to make way for summer’s grand entry, it’s time to bust our way out of our Covid-cocoons and emerge as bright & beautiful butterflies! Since butterflies are some of the most colorful creatures out there and they’re symbols of freedom and transformation, we like to think they perfectly represent what we’re all going through as a brand new world (post-Covid) opens up to us.
Splat’s collections of permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary hair colors are a perfect way to grab the Taurus-inspired ‘bull’ by the horns and show off a Gemini-inspired sparklier side of your personality.
According to every astrological article we’ve read recently, May is all about taking time to process your thoughts before taking calculated action. We want YOU to be inspired by whatever your heart desires this month, so before you choose your next hair color, take an extra second or two to think about how you feel, what you want, and who you’re trying to be this year. Celebs and influencers alike are paving the way for bright, bold, and beautiful hair color.

Text version of hair color horoscope images:
- Pink: You’ve been overtaken by a sense of calm and serenity. You’re appreciative of aromas and flavors. Indulge in your senses this month, so try cooking a new dish or visiting a new place. They’re an opportunity to learn something new about the world and about yourself.
- Purple: You may have put self-care on the back burner in the last few weeks, so now is the time to start reading a new book, trying out a new guided meditation, or even just indulging in an extra bubble bath or two. Pamper yourself this month! It’s okay to be selfish when it comes to self-care. Practice the art of saying ‘no’ so that you become more comfortable with your ability to say ‘yes.’
- Red: You’re ready to make moves. You’re channeling mobility and energy this month. No matter what decisions you make this month, have confidence in your choices. You are empowered by your personal sense of security in your actions and ambitions.
- Green: You’ve recently felt challenged or uncomfortable. Take a second to breathe and think about why. Then ask yourself how you can change your perception and your attitude. You’ll be amazed by how well things can improve when you look at them a little differently.
- Blue: You feel the need to be of service this month. Talk a little less, and listen a little more. You bring a sense of peace with you everywhere you go, so share the love! Call or text your friends and family and make plans with people you haven’t seen lately. Spread yourself out this month to recharge your energy (and the energy of others).
- Orange: You’re feeling stimulated and motivated right now. If you’ve been considering taking action somewhere, now is the time. Publish your creative works of art and expression (your blogs, your photos, even your Tik Toks). Stay in motion. You’re going to feel proud of the decisions you make this month.
- Black: You’re ready to hit the ‘pause’ button. Everyone needs a little R&R every now and then, and self-care is self-help. We don’t have to be the star of the show all the time. We can still learn as a member of the audience, and this month, don’t be afraid to sit a few things out so you can recharge.
- Yellow: You’ve awakened. You’re drawn to the sun as well as all light. You’re ready to channel warmth, positivity, and awareness everywhere you go. You’ll be a beacon this month, so shine bright and shine on!
- Rainbow: You’re ready to work hard. If you’re employed or in school, you’ll carry out your responsibilities well. You’re ready to get involved in a number of different projects this month, but be sure to take enough time for each. You don’t have to overextend yourself. Keep a journal, planner, or to-do list so you can stay on track.
