have been wondering about the moon's phases and their effects on hair growth. i remember hearing long ago that for faster growth one should cut during the waxing moon. but i couldn't remember many details so i looked it up and found this article. (another astrologer linda introduced to the field!)

Rules For Using Moon Phases For Hair Care
Listed below are my personal Moon rules for hair:

To Grow Your Hair Faster

Quarter Moon

Trim ends during the New Moon or during the First Phase of the Moon when the light of the moon is increasing.

The best astrological signs for faster, longer and healthier hair is the New Moon in Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn or Pisces.

When possible start a hair growth program with the New Moon in one of the most beneficial signs. Start by trimming a tiny bit of hair from your ends during the New Moon or First Phase of the Waxing (increasing) Moon.

These dates are also helpful if you are starting a specific hair growth program and want faster results. This would include starting a hair vitamin program or a new hair healthy diet, exercise, scalp or other hair care program designed to get your hair stronger and longer as quickly as possible.

Trim or cut your hair during the New Moon Phase

To Grow Your Hair Thicker & Fuller
Trim ends during the Full Moon especially when the Full Moon is in Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn or Pisces. The Full Moon in Leo is especially beneficial since Leo is the sign of the Lion which is born with a full lush mane.

Trim or cut your hair during the Full Moon Phase
To Grow Your Hair Slower

Trim ends after the Full Moon when the light is decreasing. This is true during the 3rd and 4th quarters of the Waning Moon. This is especially true when the Moon is in Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius or Aquarius, which also slows growth.

To Grow Hair Bushier
Trim or cut your hair with the Moon in Leo

To Treat Your Hair Chemically (Color or Perm)
Have chemical applications (straightening, relaxing, color, perm) applied during the Moon in Aquarius for the absolute best results.

There are other Moon phases that you can use for hair care. However, at this point I only want to cover the very simple process of cutting the hair for faster, thicker or bushier growth. I have thrown in the chemical processing as a general reference point.http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip001.htm

i was wondering if anyone had tried this? have you found it pans out as suggested, or would you have other advice?

get a trim around the 9th of September...which should bode well as the sun will be conjunct my natal Venus
and then the next trim when the moon is in leo...whilst maintaining conditioning treatments ...

I shall do this and get back to this thread
