While science hasn’t confirmed this, astrological traditions suggest that syncing your haircuts with the Moon can lead to healthier, shinier, and faster-growing hair.

Cutting hair on Full Moon - For the perfect cut ✂️

Many legends exist about the full moon, including the one that says its effects will enhance your hair. It would therefore be beneficial for you to have a "moon cut". This consists of trimming a few centimeters of your hair during a full moon night. The promises are tempting: your hair would grow faster, stronger, and more numerous. Some hairdressers even offer special "moon cut" sessions outdoors during these times of the year.

While the idea of cutting hair on Full Moon remains attractive, it has never been scientifically proven. However, many people swear by it, and it’s worth trying if you’re curious!

When to cut your hair to slow down growth? - During the Waning Moon period

If you want your haircut to last longer and slow down regrowth, schedule your appointment during the waning moon phase. This period, between the full moon and the new moon, is believed to slow hair growth and maintain your style for longer.

Do your hair mask during a crescent phase

The crescent phase of the Moon, which occurs every two weeks, is a regenerative phase and the perfect time to do a hair mask! During this phase, your hair is at its best condition, making it ideal for deep conditioning treatments and hair dyeing.
