Grow hair faster based on the moon?!

[xoChesleyy]

It is believed that your hair can grow faster based on lunar cycles and that there are actually beneficial days to cut hair. The lunar chart shows the five 'optimal' dates each month for cutting hair based on your specific hair goal.

I'm not really convinced. Honestly, it sort of seems like the myth if you cut your hair it will "grow faster" because I don't quite understand how cutting your hair on certain dates would contribute to hair growth? Interesting article, nonetheless. :p

Yeah there's a thread on this somewhere.

I agree with you - since hair isn't alive, when you snip the ends off it doesn't matter. My hair isn't "trying to restore its dead dry ends" or whatever he said. There's no blood flowing through it, it's not alive, it's nothing like mowing the lawn or dead heading the flowers.

Cutting or trimming just sets you back however much you cut or trim. The only real thing that can effect hair growth happens at the root level - basically good nutrition and exercise, maybe massage helps by increasing blood flow but I'm not convinced.

I agree with Rosa, the only being that can't help reaching the maximum growth rate are we ourselves. I like the moon... but it's not gonna happen.

I WANT TO BELIEVE. :alien:

Yeah, I think it's a total myth. And even if we grow hair at certain times faster than at others (there are definitely hormonal, seasonal and other spurts), it doesn't mean that you can cut/trim strategically around those periods, as growth has nothing to do with cutting - roots and ends don't "communicate".

I want to believe

Ain't gonna happen! :p
We should protect the hair we have, so it doesn#t break, or split or otherwise, but hey, i think it does grow fast enough anyways in most cases.
I was hinking, since i've seen a hilarious video on the inversion method, where a gal claimed to have grown 2 fraking inches in a WEEK (!?!?!?!... yea lol!)
If it would be that easy, then everyone would have long hair and there wouldn't be anything special about it at all. The struggle for it adds to the beauty imo, but alot of things are just wishful thinking.

Haha can you imagine? I wish I could get two inches a month!

It's a fun thing to read, but I don't buy it :p The only 'magic thing' for long hair, is patience.

Yeah, i think more than one inch a month is kind of impossible, even if there's some kind of spurt going on. My rate seems pretty ok to me at 0.7/0.8 per month. The wish for things to haven faster result out of the fact that we didn't manage to care earlier, so time is the enemy, not hair growing "too slow" in most cases.
I can't even blame this lady who made the video, she was so motivated and just percieved things the way she did because she seemed desperate to have beautiful hair.
But it's kinda self betrayal, i mean, we could all just tilt our heads back, take a shot an marvel at how much it has grown overnight. So generally, any kind of motivation serves the purpose, it's just frustrating for all the people who would try the same thing and not have the same irrational expirience. Wanting something is ok, i would really want dead straight hair for example, i wonder if walking around the bamboo forest at night would work, hahaha! ;)
