Astrology and hair? Oh yes. The Moon has something to say about that, too.
If you’ve ever wanted your haircut to grow out quickly, or hold its shape longer, lunar timing might give you the extra edge you didn’t know you needed.
Here’s how it works.
If You Want Your Hair to Grow Long…
Get a trim when the Moon is in a waxing phase (from New Moon to Full Moon) — especially when it’s passing through the Earth or Fire signs of:
- Taurus (strong roots, lush growth)
- Leo (great for style and vitality)
- Sagittarius (fast-growing, expansive energy)
- Capricorn (slow and steady, but strengthens over time)
These signs promote growth and renewal. So if you’re maintaining long locks, growing out bangs, or recovering from a questionable salon choice, lunar timing might just help things along.
If You Want Your Style to Last Longer…
Book your appointment during the waning Moon (from Full Moon to New Moon), when the Moon is in:
- Virgo (clean, crisp, tidy results)
- Scorpio (great for bold changes with staying power)
- Capricorn again (because of course Capricorn makes the list twice — it’s all about structure)
Waning Moons are associated with reduction and refinement — perfect for keeping your edges sharp and your style in place longer.
Does It Really Work?
Look — I’m not saying the Moon is hiding in your blow dryer. But people have been timing beauty rituals by the Moon for centuries, and there’s something lovely about syncing your self-care with the rhythm of the sky.
Worst case? You get a great haircut.
Best case? You get a great haircut and a little lunar boost to go with it.
