![]() Summer is generally considered a time of optimism and fun, so could be a good time to play with your hair too (as well as damage repair from sun and sea!), and Autumn is a time of winding down and preparing for Winter.Īfter you have come to your own conclusions about what instinctively makes the most sense for you, you can also check out an automatic Moon calendar online. The Winter period is a time of stillness and rest, whereas in Spring we are beginning to emerge refreshed- an optimal time for refreshing your look too and shedding your old layers. Generally it is said to avoid a New Moon if possible, when the light is darkest and we are planting our seeds in quiet introspection, but an abundant Full Moon is good a time (unless it is an eclipse)! You can opt for the waning Moon phase if you are wanting to strengthen the roots. ![]() ![]() in the waxing Moon phase, this would be ideal for hair growth and length. In general, when the Moon is growing is said to be the best for hair, i.e. Īdditionally, in the Vedic tradition, it is said the 9th, 15th, and 23rd Lunar dates are also beneficial. Friday is ruled by Venus and so also favourable, and even Thursday could be good as it is ruled by Jupiter, the Planet of prosperity and growth. Monday is ruled by the Moon and so can be a good option. It would also depend on what you’re after with your haircut- if you want to try some experimental hair coloring trends, for example, then Aquarius could be a good option! Libra is also known as the general Sign of beauty, being ruled by Venus (along with Taurus).īecause Tuesday and Saturday are Mars’ and Saturn’s days respectively, these are also not considered beneficial. Aries is a no because it is ruled by Mars, a hot and dry Planet, so not ideal for hair. Leo’s ruling body part is literally the hair and so naturally this is a perfect time for cutting hair!

Even pop culture has a long history of “cutting things out of our hair” when we want to move on from a person, situation, way of being. Intentionally aligning your hairdressing appointments is a nice way to incorporate the Moon into your beauty routines, you can research and initiate the hairstyle you would like, how you want to feel with your hair, on the New Moon, and then go for a cut or color on the Full Moon. Just as we ritualistically plant seeds of intention with the New Moon and release that which no longer serves us at the Full Moon, on the most basic level we can do the same with our physical bodies. For this reason, and because this is an intuitive practice and not a science, of course, it is worthy to try different methods out, have fun with it, and take what resonates- leave what doesn’t. There is no agreed-upon, definite best/worst times but some general (and at times conflicting) guidelines. Many different cultures interpret the phases of the Lunar cycle as most beneficial or not differently, and so it can be wise to do a bit of your own research and experimentation to see which system resonates most with you, as well as connecting to your own ancestral traditions.
