The lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the moon and its phases, called lunations.
According to some theories, the full moon or new moon , waxing moon or waning moon can have the ability to influence hair growth or the outcome of a haircut.
To help you find out when to cut your hair according to the lunar calendar, we've prepared a simple table for you to save on your phone, so you can plan your hair, body, and skincare routines.
When to cut your hair according to the lunar calendar?
If you want to cut your hair according to the phases of the Moon, the best times are when the Moon is in Leo or Virgo.
Cutting your hair with the moon in Leo will allow you to make it thicker
Cutting your hair with the moon in Virgo will help it grow faster.
Observing the phases of the moon will also allow you to decide the best time for pruning based on your needs.
If you have unruly hair , it might be helpful to get a haircut during the new moon phase; the new moon promotes slow growth, which will help keep your hair manageable longer.
When to dye your hair according to the lunar calendar?
Even when it comes to applying henna and dyes, we can let ourselves be guided by the moon.
In fact, it seems that the phases of our satellite can also influence the color rendering and its duration.
For longer-lasting vibrant color, dye your hair during the waxing moon. If you want to lighten your hair, you can also choose the waning moon: during this period, hair tends to bind less to pigments, allowing you to achieve better results with these treatments.
