The moon has magical powers! It may sound too corny for you, but you have to admit that you feel a bit different during the full moon, hmmm? After all, the moon is responsible for many processes in nature, including the tides. Did you know that it also affects... your hair? Learn about hair care according to the lunar calendar!
First, a bit of astrology
The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth . It is the fifth largest moon in the Solar System. The dream of many astronauts and a still undiscovered secret of space. It is known, however, that this satellite has a huge impact on the element of water. It is worth recalling that humans consist of 70% of... water. It is no wonder that the Moon can affect the human body and often has an impact on well-being. As it turns out - also on appearance!
The moon phases that affect appearance and mood are:
- New Moon, or the “invisible” moon - then it is best to focus on cleansing the body of unnecessary toxins.
- Full moon, i.e. the moon is completely visible in all its glory (circle) - the full moon can cause insomnia, worse mood and lower pain resistance, so it is better to give up important meetings or invasive procedures at that time.
- first quarter (so-called waxing moon) - intensifies the effects of medicines and herbs, so it is a great time for intensive regeneration of the body
- last quarter (so-called waning moon) - it is said that this phase "cures" inflammation.
Hair cutting and styling according to the lunar calendar
It is best to trim your hair between the full moon and the new moon , because then it will grow faster. However, if you want to slow down hair growth, because for example you want to enjoy a beautiful cut for as long as possible, opt for a haircut between the new moon and the full moon . If you want to trim your hair to strengthen and refresh it, choose the moment when the moon is in the constellation with Leo (adds vitality to the hair) and Libra (makes the hair more manageable).
