For a long time, people believed that the moon affects a person. Scientists explain it this way: if a satellite of the Earth causes the ebb and flow in the seas, then in a similar way it acts on a person, 80% of water.
The moon affects not only mood and behavior, but also physiological processes. For example, hair growth. Those who know about this have long been choosing a suitable day for haircuts and dyeing according to the lunar calendar. And for those who have not tried it yet, but want to get a good result after visiting a hairdresser, it's time to start in the coming 2024.
The effect of the moon on hair growth
Many have come across the fact that after a haircut, hair growth will accelerate or vice versa. There is a scientific explanation for the influence of the moon on this process. By influencing all the fluid in the body, the growing moon helps the blood circulate better, supplying the hair follicles with nutrients. A waning moon has the opposite effect.
If you need to grow your hair quickly, it is best to cut it on the waxing moon. If you want to slow down hair regrowth or cut your hair less often, it's time for the waning moon.
There are 2 main periods in the lunar month:
- growth that ends with a full moon when the satellite is fully visible;
- waning, which ends with a new moon, at this time the moon is not visible at all.
You can determine whether the moon is growing or decreasing by its shape. If it resembles the letter "p", then it grows, if the letter "c", then it decreases (decreases).
The lunar calendar will also be a good assistant in choosing a date. When compiling it, phases, the sign of the zodiac and lunar days are taken into account. There are special calendars of haircuts and coloring, including for the current 2024, which greatly facilitate the choice of a good date.
Hair cutting in the first half of the month
It is better to go to the salon from 1 to 15 lunar days (the moon is growing). In this case, the procedure will accelerate their further growth and fill them with energy. Ideal days are the third and fourth, when the moon has the most positive effect on your haircut.
Some astrologers believe that a haircut at this time has not only a stimulating effect, but also on a subtle level helps to clear the aura and protect against energy vampires. Nourishing masks will be the most beneficial.
Haircut during the waning phase of the lunar cycle
From 15-16 to 30 days, activity decreases, all processes slow down. Including hair growth. The closer to the end of the lunar month you cut your hair, the slower it will grow. Therefore, the period is more suitable for haircuts for people who want to keep their hairstyle longer. It is also useful to have a haircut at this time in case of hair loss, so the hair roots will receive the necessary strength to strengthen.
In the descending phase, manipulations to change the appearance of the hair are effective, you can do anything that will make them more obedient and help not to get tangled when combing. Depending on your needs, straightening or curling your hair will be effective.
Full moon haircut
The full moon is suitable for a haircut when a person wants a dramatic change in appearance.For example, cut long hair short, cut bangs, or dye black to blond.
Cutting only the ends of your hair on a full moon, without changing anything else, will give your hair strength. It is better to postpone the rest of the actions with hair until a more favorable time. It is also useful to make cosmetic masks on the full moon to strengthen hair.

Coloring on the growing moon
It is better to change the color of the strands in the first or second phase. The moon is growing, the strands also grow faster, and they also tolerate the toxicity of paints better. Curls are remarkably painted over, retain a bright saturated color for a long time. The energy of this period neutralizes the harm of chemical exposure.
Coloring on the waning moon
The waning moon is a time when it is worth postponing with painting, because the energy of all processes is declining. Hair dyed at this time quickly loses color, becomes dull, and looks lifeless. The pigment cannot fix properly, and the procedure itself does more damage to the curls.
