If you have ever wondered about Aries personality traits and characteristics, look no further. There is a reason why most monthly horoscopes you read typically start with Aries. This fiery sign is the initiator of the zodiac. Born between March 20th and April 21st, everything jumps off with Aries season, which also lines up with the spring equinox. They represent the time of year that is considered the life after death and boldly charge forth into the face of danger like the rams they are. Honestly, it is the type of energy we like to see!
These fire-starters can be described as bold, fast, passionate, and, most importantly, independent. Their ruling planet of Mars makes them courageous and always armed for battle. Because this fire sign is the first of the zodiac, Aries can be a bit demanding with their needs and emotions. It can come off as a bit needy and their ego can be a lot to deal with, but they are as quick to make-up as they are quick to fight.
The Aries Zodiac Sign: An Overview
Never the ones to follow the crowd or be into things because everyone else is, Aries has more of a trailblazer type of spirit. The Ram needs to be completely committed to whatever they are signing on for. They are competitive AF, which makes motivating them easy, just turn everything into a competition to bring out their true spirit. In everything they do, Aries will put 100 percent of themselves into it as they love to win. Aries can also be loyal, smart, and impulsive, and they seem to always have a lot of projects going on at one time. They will not be satisfied with their day to day until all aspects of their lives are aligned.
From work to their social and personal lives -- it must all match up to their visions. It may be hard to keep up with Aries in life, but you will have a life-long friend in them.

The Aries Zodiac Sign in Love
Aries are typically super friendly people, and that makes them get along with just about everyone. But like most zodiac signs, they tend to be most compatible with their elemental group, which includes Sagittarius and Leo. Aries can be bright, bubbly, upbeat, outgoing, and very much about that action. However, Libras, the opposite sign of Aries, makes a great connection in the bedroom. Libras are givers and Aries are takers, and that combination works well together when things get more intimate.
When the Aries falls in love, they are unapologetic and unashamed at how much they love their partner. They are also one of the most mushiest and romantic of the zodiac signs. Being in a relationship with an Aries will never leave you bored, it will always be full of fun. You can expect lots of travel, sex, and adventure from the Ram.
Aries Most Attractive Traits
The most attractive trait of an Aries is their charm and warmth. They have the ability to draw people to them while commanding all the attention in a room. Physically, Aries will have dramatic pronounced brows with an intense, penetrating gaze. People tend to find them attractive because of their big smiles which light up their entire face.

I've always had a love-hate relationship with wigs. Sometimes, I struggle to get them to lay flat and don't get me started with the bonding glue process. So when it comes to wearing wigs, I like to keep it nice and breezy around this b--- (word to Katt Williams), especially in the summertime.
That's why I jumped at the chance to try these three versatile wigs from Luvme Hair. Each one offers a unique look and is surprisingly low maintenance, which aligns perfectly with my philosophy that wearing wigs should make life easier. Let’s dive into the three styles below.
Headband Wig

This was the first wig I tried on, and I instantly fell in love with it. So much so that it took me weeks to even consider trying the other two. I’m partial to colored hair, especially blonds, browns, and reds, so I was skeptical about the jet black hair. However, I think the color, combined with the curl pattern, worked surprisingly well for me.
One of the things I really liked about this wig was that I didn’t have to braid my hair down first. I could simply throw it over a low ponytail, which is the epitome of a low-maintenance style. The headband has combs inside and velcro on the ends, ensuring a secure fit.
Half Wig

I had never worn a half wig before, so I faced some challenges. I cornrowed the bottom half of my hair where the wig would sit, but I believe this made it more difficult to use the combs. It might just be me though. I straightened the top part of my hair to blend it with the wig, which looked cute for about five minutes.
Firstly, I have a brown/blonde color mix on the ends of my hair, and the half wig is black. So, I had to hide some of the color (I didn’t have time to dye the wig). Secondly, straightening my hair myself is always a hassle because it never lasts long. Add to that the summer humidity, and you get a hot mess. Despite all this, I managed to get some cute pictures before things got out of control, and that’s all that matters, right?
Would I consider this a low-maintenance hair style? Yes and no. I think it’s unrealistic for me during the summer, especially since I enjoy summer activities. However, when the weather cools down, I’ll definitely rock it, dyed, of course.
Bob

Now, this is the wig I was nervous about. I never had a bob and I didn't think I would like it. But once I put bobiana on, my mind instantly changed. I finally understood why the gworls rave about the bob so much. It was giving boss. It was giving grown woman. It was giving the bob means business. Iykyk. It was the ultimate statement.
I will say when I first put it on, one side of my wig just would not lay flat. It took some trial and error, but I finally managed to get it to look good. With the bob, I highly recommend braiding your hair down first as small as you can so it can lay as flat as possible. I really liked the ash blonde color, which is perfect for summer. The length also makes it a great low-maintenance style for the season, so you don't have to worry about the hair making your neck sweaty.
