Resources: Lunar Hair Chart & Lunar Calendar

By the light of the moon...


Growing up, we were always told that your hair would grow stronger and longer if you cut it when a full moon was in sight.  Turns out, it's not just an old wives tale -- it has a name, the Morrocco Method!  

Anthony Morrocco, a master hair Shaman, has a whole site dedicated to teaching about growing long hair using the Lunar Hair Chart.  It's actually very informational, it gives you specific days based on what it is that you want to achieve.  For instance, do you want to:
  • Lengthen
  • Strengthen
  • Thicken
  • Do Rootwork or 
  • Beautify
There's a day for everything!  Here's a little more about each, since the footwork and beautification category may not be as clear:


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.
Every lunar hair cutting date provided on our Lunar Chart is equivalent to 8-16 acupuncture treatments. See the table below to see the equivalent acupuncture benefits for various dates on the lunar chart.


Of course, based on the sole topic of this blog, my interest lies in lengthening.  Though only a handful of days remain in 2013, here's the calendar for growing long, beautiful hair but trimming accordingly:

Best Days for Beneficial Haircutting in 2013:

It just so happens that September is a great month to cut for growth!  As for the rest of the year:
