The strength of the moon’s gravitational field manifests itself through the rising and falling tides of the oceans. Proponents of the influence of the lunar cycle on our body (mood, sleep, including our hair) consider that this gravitational field has an equally powerful effect on humans and animals. According to this belief, hair grows faster, hair care is more effective, and hairstyles are more successful if manipulation is timed according to the lunar calendar.
- Accelerate hair growth: when the Moon is waxing, conditions are right for hair growth after a cut. Therefore, you must do it between New Moon and Full Moon if you want your hair to grow fast.
- Slow hair growth : if you have short hair and want it to grow as slowly as possible, you should cut it during the waning and waning phase of the moon (between the full moon and the new moon). Your short hairstyle will keep its shape longer.
- The influence of the signs of the zodiac: According to some beliefs, fine hair becomes fuller and thicker after a haircut when the Moon is in constellation with the astrological sign of Leo or Virgo. Indeed, when it is placed under the sign of Leo, your hair becomes stronger and fuller, while when it is placed under the sign of Virgo, it allows you to have a perfect hairstyle.
