The full moon exerts a unique influence on our environment, impacting more than just tides or moods. According to certain beliefs, it also has a powerful effect on our hair! November 15, 2024, marks the next full moon, and it's the perfect time to refresh your ends and stimulate hair growth.
Cutting hair during a full moon: myth or reality?
Some beliefs hold that the moon’s energy impacts hair growth. During a full moon, these energies supposedly peak, accelerating growth. This idea partly stems from ancestral agricultural practices that used the moon as a guide for planting and harvesting.
According to this theory, certain times should be avoided for cutting hair to avoid slowing growth. For example, cutting hair during the new moon is not ideal; instead, the full moon is preferred. Depending on hair length, you can cut at other lunar phases as well—during the waxing moon phase for long hair, or during the waning moon phase for short hair.
Another belief is that cutting hair during the full moon makes it stronger and healthier, as this phase supposedly allows better nutrient absorption. Thus, it's advised to perform hair care during full moon nights, including massaging the scalp, which is essential for maintaining healthy and strong hair.
For this purpose, nothing is better than using our No. 4 massaging brush. Equipped with nylon bristles, this hairbrush offers a revitalizing massage that stimulates blood circulation, enhancing the scalp’s and hair’s nutrient and oxygen supply, promoting growth.
How to promote hair growth?
Scientifically speaking, cutting hair during the full moon to make it grow faster hasn’t been proven. Here are our best tips to support your hair’s growth.
A healthy scalp is essential for strong hair and optimal growth. It’s often said that the top of the scalp contains the “crown chakra,” a connection point with the universe that promotes harmony with the stars. Taking care of this area is therefore beneficial both for personal balance and hair vitality.
One simple way to maintain scalp health is to stimulate it regularly. This promotes blood flow, bringing essential oxygen and nutrients to the follicles and scalp for healthy hair growth.
To easily stimulate your scalp, opt for a massaging brush. La Bonne Brosse’s No. 4 and No. 7 brushes provide a revitalizing massage that directly stimulates blood flow and strengthens the hair roots. These brushes also provide a soothing, relaxing sensation.
The No. 4 massaging brush is ideal for fine curly hair and sensitive scalps, while the No. 7 stimulating and detangling brush is designed for thick, curly, coily, or textured hair.
Finally, the vegan nylon bristles of these hairbrushes allow for use on wet or damp hair, optimizing the absorption of hair care products.
