“Eзотерика for Every Day” has confidently taken its place in modern life, alongside coconut milk and the dangers of gluten.
Let’s figure out where the shamanism ends and the science begins. ⠀ Astrology is kind of a pseudoscience, so we’ll rely on the facts of astronomy. ⠀ The Moon is responsible for the liquids in nature. Tides, ebb and flow — we can’t rule out their presence. And that means it also has an influence on humans. After all, we are 80% water. ⠀ The phases of the Moon have long been of great importance to fishermen. It was believed that they influenced the fish’s bite. And farmers still consult the Lunar Calendar — the best aid for a bountiful harvest. ⠀ The Maya people were excellent astronomers. They developed a forecasting system — the Maya Calendar, the accuracy and complexity of which are of great interest to modern scientists. Today, the influence of the Moon on the metabolism of humans and animals has been proven. In addition, studies have been conducted that show that the level of melanin production — the natural pigment of all living things on Earth: skin, hair, etc. — changes under the influence of lunar phases. The lunar hair‑cutting calendar is once again becoming relevant today.
Let’s figure it out together. There are 4 phases — full moon, waning moon, new moon, waxing moon. ⠀ 🌕 Full moon is the main phase in the lunar cycle. At this time, people make unexpected and difficult decisions. It’s the perfect time to make a drastic change to your appearance. And if you don’t want any changes in your life, you shouldn’t visit a beauty salon. Getting a haircut is highly not recommended. ⠀ 🌔 Waning Moon is the ideal time to restore your hair. Cutting your hair is not advisable, as it will grow slowly in the future and become brittle and lifeless. You should postpone dyeing your hair — there’s a high probability that you won’t get the desired colour. Even hairstyles quickly lose their shape during this period. ⠀ 🌙 During the New Moon, it’s good to moisturize your hair using nourishing masks, oils, and wax. Such treatments make hair strong and beautiful. People believed that cutting hair during the New Moon was a bad omen, as it shortened a person’s lifespan. 🌘 The Waxing Moon is the most favorable time for external transformations. If you want to grow long and thick hair, head to the hairdresser during the Waxing Moon. This phase is also favorable for coloring — the color will be more vibrant, and the dye will last longer.
Whether it’s a superstition or not is up to you. It’s obvious that the Moon affects a person’s mood and overall health. If you’re in a good mood, undergoing a salon procedure will likely have a positive effect. But irritation and fatigue will only make any task worse. Especially something “beautiful”.
Trust yourself, take care of your emotional state, and be attentive to your needs. And then the desired result won’t be long in coming.
