A semicolon is a punctuation that is used to separate two clauses that are related to one another, but can stand alone as separate sentences.
Example
I was bored with my hair so I decided to get highlights; next month I might decide to get bangs.

It's used to separate two related clauses, usually replacing a conjunction. It's also used for lists if some of the terms contain commas for other purposes..
