 Cutting hair according to the lunar calendar: this is how it works

Some consider it esoteric superstition, others swear by it: cut your hair according to the lunar calendar. This method is said to help you achieve more beautiful, stronger hair and reduce hair loss. We explain how it works!

Cutting your hair according to the lunar calendar sounds unusual at first - if not completely nonsensical. But what is really behind the theory of the phases of the moon and what influence is it said to have?

 

The moon and its influence on the hair

The lunar calendar is said to have an influence on different life situations. It should also influence hair growth as well as the structure and shine of the hair. The reason for this should be the respective position of the moon - the so-called moon phase.

The moon influences the tides and creates ebb and flow. Since the body consists largely of water , the assumption is not so absurd that the moon influences processes in the body. There is no scientific evidence for the theory of the phases of the moon and their effects on different phases of life. Nevertheless, there are numerous positive testimonials from moon phase followers. 

Cutting your hair according to the lunar calendar: The individual phases of the moon

There are a total of four phases of the moon: new moon, waxing moon, full moon and waning moon. For people who believe in the power of the lunar calendar and then have their hair cut, the assumption prevails that the waning moon has a releasing and cleansing effect. The waxing moon (between new moon and full moon), on the other hand, is supposed to have a strengthening and strengthening effect.

Applied to the hair, this means: When the moon is waning, the hair grows more slowly, but faster when the moon is waxing. In detail, however, the individual phases of the moon are said to have an even more specific influence on the hair. 

 

When should you use the moon to cut your hair?

The phases of the moon should influence the outcome of your visit to the hairdresser. The energy of the respective phase is decisive. How the individual periods in the lunar calendar affect haircutting:

Cutting hair at full moon

Anyone who cuts their hair in the days around the full moon can look forward to particularly good results - according to the theory. In this phase of the moon, a lot of energy should work and that in turn should have a positive effect on the visit to the hairdresser. The promise of the moon phase followers: healthier, fuller hair that grows back more slowly.

 

Hair grows more slowly with the waning moon

The phase of the waning moon follows the full moon. With the fullness of the moon, the energy disappears and hair growth is said to slow down. This is an advantage for all short hair wearers! Because then the appointment for trimming bob or bangs may be a long way off.

 

Cutting hair at new moon

According to the theory, all women with thin hair who want strong, healthy and particularly long hair should have their hair cut on the new moon. With a haircut in this phase of the lunar calendar, your hair should grow back particularly quickly - and a long whale mane should be within reach.

More intense hair color due to the waxing moon

You can already guess it: As the moon waxes in the lunar calendar, the energy slowly increases again - and the hair grows faster than in other phases of the moon. During this time, hair colors and tints should also shine more intensely.

 

Cutting your hair according to the lunar calendar: Unfavorable days

Just like good moon phases for a haircut, there are also unfavorable days to get your hair cut. If one believes in the theory of the lunar calendar, the days when the moon is under the sign of Pisces or Cancer are said to be particularly bad. Even with a moon in the zodiac sign Scorpio, you shouldn't make an appointment with the hairdresser.

Even if the effect of the moon on individual areas of life such as cutting hair has not been scientifically proven, there are still many people who trust it.
