When should you wax or shave to slow hair regrowth? During the Waning Moon!

The moon’s cycles have a direct influence on hair regrowth. For smoother legs, it’s important to plan your waxing sessions by choosing the right lunar phase. The ideal time to wax is during the waning or descending moon phases. More specifically, this is the period between the full moon and the new moon. It’s highly effective to take this into account, as during this time, hair growth slows down.

If you wax during this period, your hair will grow back more slowly and finer. And if you’re curious about what the upcoming year has in store, check out our 2025 horoscope.

🌕 Lunar phases and hair: What’s the connection?

Dear readers (and yes, gentlemen, this applies to you too), did you know that the moon can influence your hair regrowth? Let me explain how our favorite satellite impacts your beauty routine.

  • Full Moon: This is when the moon is at its peak, lighting up the sky in all its glory. Your hair, too, seems to compete with this brightness by growing at full speed. But don’t worry—right after the full moon is the perfect time to start waxing!
  • Waning Moon: Ah, the long-awaited period! Right after the full moon, the moon starts to wane, and your hair follows suit. This is the perfect time to grab your wax or epilator. During this phase, hair growth slows down, giving you smoother legs for longer. 
  • New Moon: The moon is invisible in the sky, and your hair is gearing up for a comeback. It’s as if nature gives it a little boost to grow back stronger. Avoid waxing on the day of the new moon if you want to prolong that smooth feeling.
  • First Quarter: The moon begins to reappear, and so does your hair. It starts to wake up, ready to resume its growth. This isn’t the ideal time to wax, but it’s a good moment to plan your next session during the waning moon.

🧖‍♀️ Why the Moon affects hair growth

The Moon’s gravitational pull doesn’t just affect the tides—it also influences the water in our bodies and the natural rhythms of growth and renewal. Just like plants grow differently depending on the lunar phase, your hair follicles respond to the Moon’s cycle. That’s why waxing during a waning moon can lead to slower regrowth, while waxing during a waxing moon may result in quicker hair return.

📝 The Editor's Opinion

The moon’s phases are more than just a celestial phenomenon—they can be a powerful tool to optimize your beauty routine. By timing your waxing sessions with the waning moon, you can enjoy smoother skin for longer and feel more in harmony with nature’s rhythms. But why stop there? The moon’s influence extends far beyond beauty—it can guide your emotions, energy, and even the decisions that shape your future.

If you’re curious about what the stars and the moon have in store for you, why not take the next step? A psychic reading can reveal the secrets of your personal lunar cycle and help you make the most of every phase. Don’t leave your future to chance—get the clarity and guidance you deserve today!
