According to popular beliefs, cutting your hair on a full moon evening promotes faster, healthier growth. During this phase, the body supposedly regenerates, sparing your locks and making them thicker, brighter, and stronger. It's the ideal time to visit your hairdresser. Conversely, for a haircut that stays short longer, wait for the moon's waning phase. A bit of lunar math for those extra quality centimeters.
As appealing as it sounds, science doesn't support this theory—especially regarding living matter. "The moon influences all living things: tides, the Earth's crust, animals, plants, and humans," explains Clément Gros, son of the Lunar Calendar author. "Cut flowers last longer during the full moon but fade faster in the waning phase." However, hair isn't comparable to plants. Renowned salon Jean Louis David states clearly: most hairdressers see no ideal period. Trim a few centimeters every 3 months to prevent split ends and revitalize your hair.
Ultimately, trust professional hairdressers or lunar astrologers—your call.
