The Lunar Chart displays the 5 optimal dates each month for cutting and beautifying hair. Certain days are especially beneficial for a certain task and are noted on the calendar in red. In addition, there are dates for each season of particular importance. Below the hair cutting chart is our chart for retarding growth — the best days for shaving, plucking, and waxing.
Note: Dates are calculated for Central California, USA. (Pacific Standard Time, Northern Hemisphere) Recalculate for your own hemisphere. By taking Central Coast California Time and adding or subtracting your time zone. Also, remember all dates are 24 hours so dates in the middle are the most beneficial.
Lengthen: Cut or trim your hair on the days provided for lengthening to shock and excite your hair growth patterns, causing your hair to grow two to three times faster and therefore lengthening your hair.
Thicken: The dates provided for thickening promote the activation of new growth cycles in ones bulb and hair follicles.
Strengthen: Cutting or trimming one’s hair on the dates provided for strengthening enables the roots, follicles, and bulbs to increase and strengthen one’s growth patterns, thus producing stronger and more resilient hair to help avoid premature fall out!
Root Work: These dates work directly with the roots to shock the entire growth cycle, effectively aiding your hair and scalp in all aspects of hair growth and scalp improvement.
Beautifying: These dates are used to improve the texture and sheen of one’s hair. Beautifying also works to enhance and refine the waviness of one’s hair.
