Lunar Hair Cutting Calendar 2026/2027
When is the best day to cut your hair according to the moon? This calendar bundles all of 2026 and 2027 into one overview: growth days (waxing moon in Leo or Virgo — for faster, more vigorous regrowth) and strengthening days (Leo/Virgo days in other phases — for denser, more resilient hair). One page, every month, no guesswork.
How the Days Are Rated
- ★★★ Growth days: waxing moon while the Moon stands in Leo or Virgo — traditionally the strongest combination for fast, vigorous hair growth.
- ★★ Strengthening days: the Moon stands in Leo or Virgo, but the phase is not waxing — hair cut on these days is said to grow back more slowly, yet denser and stronger.
- All other days are neutral or unfavourable by tradition; they are simply left out of the tables.
Moon phase and zodiac sign are calculated astronomically (each day evaluated at 12:00 UTC). The hair rules themselves are folk tradition — see the note at the end of the page.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I cut my hair for faster growth?
According to lunar calendar tradition, during a waxing moon in Leo or Virgo. These growth days are listed month by month in the tables above.
When should I cut my hair so it grows back stronger and slower?
Tradition recommends Leo or Virgo days outside the waxing phase — hair is said to grow back more slowly but denser and stronger.
Is cutting hair by the moon scientifically proven?
No. There is no scientific evidence that the moon influences hair growth. The calendar follows a centuries-old folk tradition and is meant as a planning aid, not as medical or scientific advice.
Which time zone do the dates use?
Each day is evaluated at 12:00 UTC. On days when the Moon changes sign, the rating shortly before or after midnight local time can differ slightly.
