Lunar hair care during a Crescent Phase

The crescent phase of the Moon, which occurs every 2 weeks, is a regenerative phase and is the right moment to do a hair mask!

It’s suggested to color your hair during these periods as your body and hair will be in its best possible condition and so your color will take noticeably better if you dye your hair during this phase.

Astrologist Susan Taylor's insights:

'Like gardening with the Moon, cutting your hair according to lunar cycles is an ancestral belief. The effects of the Moon on hair could cause it to grow back more or less quickly depending on the care given to it in accordance with different lunar phases.
Some hairdressers are convinced of the benefits of a "moon cut", despite the fact that its effects are not scientifically proven.'

How do you make your hair grow slower?

If you’re happy with your current style and you’re looking to cut your hair in order to keep it at a desired length for as long as possible, you’ll need to cut your hair during a waning period - a phase known to slow down hair growth. The waning period is the phase between the Full Moon and the New Moon. Hair grows the slowest during this calm phase.
