Go ahead: have you ever rescheduled or do you know someone who has rescheduled their hairdressing appointment because the moon was waning, are we right? hahaha We know we have, but what is the best phase of the moon to get a haircut? Do these moon phases REALLY influence the cut?
According to experts, there is no scientific evidence to prove this relationship, but there are some points we can take into consideration. On the other hand, people swear that the moon DOES play a role when it comes to haircuts and we're here to clear up all your doubts about this relationship!
The scientific explanation
What we do know is that each person has specific hair growth, coincidentally this may be related to the moon and we can't rule out the psychological part that can directly influence the hair, in this case when the person believes in this theory.
New moon haircuts
This period is known as a good time to start something new, whether it's a project, a diet or, of course, a new look. Cutting your hair during this phase of the moon strengthens the roots and makes the hair more manageable, as it undergoes renewal and revitalization.
This is also a good time to radically change the look of your hair. If you're a brunette, for example, and have always wanted to go blonde, now is the time! And for that, we have an incredible kit for blonde hair!
Haircuts on the crescent moon
This is a very busy period, where things are accelerating, but not yet taking shape. What predominates during this phase is what progresses throughout the lunar cycle.
During this moon, it's best to cut the ends of your hair so that it grows quickly and shines. In addition to cutting, it's also a great time to get rid of that dye or any chemical in your hair quickly, leaving your hair natural. Here's a great kit to help you through this growth phase.
Getting a haircut on a full moon
If you want thicker hair, now is the time to cut it. The full moon makes hair thicker and more resistant to chemical treatments. This phase also benefits moisturizing and nourishing the hair, as the cuticles are more open and absorb products better, so bet on hair masks!
Cutting your hair on the waning moon
In this phase there is a decrease in luminosity, so everything loses its intensity and gives way to introspection. As far as hair is concerned, cutting during this phase is ideal for those who suffer from hair loss, have weaker hair or want to reduce the volume of their hair.
According to astrologers, cutting your hair on this moon will make it take longer to grow, which can be good for prolonging the cut or color!
