A Strange Question
Jul 18^th, 2005 at 3:00am

I like to read about astrology and in one book that I was reading it said that if you cut your hair yoursself on the eve of a new moon that it will grow faster. Has anybody else heard this? Or anything like it? And do you think it has any basis in fact? I know people who swear cutting your hair on a full moon will make it grow slower. For those of us scientifically inclined what a science fair project!!

I'm sure someone here will pitch in with the site that has the "rules" and dates.

Gender:	Re: A Strange Question Reply #4 - Jul 18^th, 2005 at 9:23pm Well, I know nothing about astrology...But I cannot see scientifically speaking, how hair could grow faster from the roots by cutting the ends. Which is also my argument when I someone says that I need to trim my hair often, so it will grow faster. I become extrememly upset when I hear that from people!

Astrology can be fun and I think it can hold some truth, I'm not so sure about this though.

I don't know about the hair/lunar connection. But what I can tell you is that my dear old granny, God rest her soul, who was born in 1900 swore by, and always planted by, the phases of the moon and generally had excellent results. Now it may have just been coincidence, good soil or her green thumb. But who knows?

Couldn't hurt to try, right!

Scroll to around the middle of this page - there is a small section called "Cutting Your Hair By The Full Moon". http://www.hairrific.com/hist.htm#Beehive Cynde
