Information is misleading. For hair growth, trim in a waxing moon- YES, but IN CONJUNCTION with when stars are in a WATERSIGN! (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). This is following the ancient farmers Almanac calendars. Phase of the moon alone is not enough and is misleading. Do better.

I have followed the Farmer's almanac for cutting my hair since I was in my early twenties I am now 71. My hair is below my behind and I have very little gray hair.

8/25,26,27 are waxing crescent whereas 9/22,23 are new moon. Wouldn’t the 9/24,25 be more accurate? According to the moon phase.

When did this comment section arrive? Can you please remove it, because these comments and questions are stupid. Thanks.

Agree 100%. Sadly most people, it seems, are morons. The comments section on any website does not add value - it's just a place for trolls and idiots.

You could just not read them. There are no stupid questions. What you know/understand may not be what others do. Thx

Can you do more than 5 days out? My hair dress is always booked at least 8 weeks out, so right now (July 9th) it's only showing through August, and I need the September and October dates. Thank you!

Buy the book! That way you have a full year of dates. It really works.

Hi. I've read 24 hours after a new moon is great for fast growth and that makes it something like June 26(time zones may differ) but I couldn't find this date in your list....which date do you specifically suggest for fast growth? Like the earliest date

I have read, you should cut your hair on the moon's waxing for growth. Waning for limited growth.
