This old lady, let me tell you, I heard some folks talking ’bout cutting hair. They say the moon and stars, them up in the sky, got something to do with it. Crazy, ain’t it? But they say it’s best days to cut hair according to astrology. Sounds like a load of hogwash to me, but I’ll tell ya what I heard anyway.
They say, if you want your hair to grow long and strong, like a weed after a good rain, you gotta cut it when the moon is full. That big, round, shiny thing in the sky? Yep, that’s the one. They call it a Full Moon. When it’s big and bright like that, that’s when you snip, snip, snip. Especially if you got them split ends, like a frayed rope. Cut them off then, and your hair will grow like crazy, they say. It is the perfect time to make your hair grow longer and thicker.
- Full Moon is good for hair growth.
- Cut on a Full Moon makes hair long.
- Split ends? Cut ’em on a Full Moon.
Now, if you like your hair short, like a crew cut, you do the opposite. You cut it when the moon is shrinking, getting smaller and smaller, like a puddle drying up in the sun. They call that the Waning Moon. Cut it then, and it’ll grow slow, like a turtle walking uphill. That’s the time to get a haircut if you want your hair short.
- Waning Moon slows down hair growth.
- Want short hair? Cut it on a Waning Moon.
- Short hair, slow growth, Waning Moon. Got it?
Then there’s this thing called Friday. Some folks say Friday is a good day to cut hair too. Apparently, there’s some planet, Venus they call it, that’s all about being pretty and having a good time. So, if you get a haircut on a Friday, it’ll bring you luck. Might make you a movie star, who knows? Friday is one of the best days for cutting hair.
- Friday? Good for hair cutting.
- Venus makes you pretty on Friday.
- Get a haircut, maybe get lucky. That’s Friday.
Then they talked about some Purnima. Full moon days. They say those days are good, too. When the moon is full, the energy, or whatever it is, is strong. Makes you feel good, makes your hair good, I guess. This Purnima, it’s good for you, they say. Good time to cut your hair.
- Purnima means Full Moon.
- Full Moon days are good for feeling good.
- Good for hair, too, they say.
And there is another thing, they call it Uttarayana. I think that’s when the sun is moving up north or something. Anyway, that’s another good time to cut your hair, they say. Sun’s going north, you cut your hair. Don’t ask me why. Just what I heard.
- Uttarayana, sun moving north.
- Good time for a haircut.
- Don’t ask me why, just is.
And Wednesday! They say Wednesday is a real good day, the best maybe. This Narada, whoever he is, says so. And it’s got something to do with some god, Vishnu. Wednesday is associated with Lord Vishnu. So, Wednesday, that’s your day if you want a really good haircut. The most auspicious day for hair and nail trims.
- Wednesday is the best day, they say.
- Narada and Vishnu say so.
- Best day for a really good haircut.
So, there you have it. Full Moon for long hair, Waning Moon for short hair. Friday for luck. Purnima for feeling good. Uttarayana when the sun’s going north, and Wednesday for the best haircut of your life. It is all about when to cut your hair to slow down growth and when to cut your hair to speed up growth. Don’t ask this old lady to explain it, ’cause I can’t. It’s all a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me. But if you believe in that astrology stuff, well, there you go. Cut your hair by the moon and stars, and maybe you’ll have the best hair in town. Or maybe you won’t. Who knows? It’s all a mystery to me.
But if you want my advice, just cut your hair when it needs cutting. That’s what I always did. Didn’t need no moon or stars to tell me when to get a haircut. Just common sense. But hey, you do you. If you wanna follow the moon, go right ahead. Just don’t come crying to me when your hair looks like a bird’s nest, moon or no moon.
This whole astrology and hair cutting thing. Honestly, kids these days. In my day, we just cut our hair when it got too long. Didn’t need no fancy rules. But the world’s changing, I reckon. Just hope they don’t start telling us when to eat our soup based on the stars next. That’ll be the day!
Anyway, that’s all I heard about this best days to cut hair business. Take it with a grain of salt, as they say. Or a whole shaker of salt, in this case. But if it makes you happy, go for it. Just remember what this old lady told you: common sense goes a long way, even with haircuts.
