From childhood, many of us have heard various beauty-related superstitions—like not cutting our hair or nails on certain days or trimming only the ends at specific times. Many people plan their beauty treatments around the waxing or waning moon, the time of day, or other astrological factors. You may or may not believe in these things, but let’s be honest—every woman has experienced at least once in her life a situation where:

● The same hairstylist did the usual trim, but the haircut just wouldn’t sit right.
● The hair color turned out darker than usual.
● Lash extensions, which had always lasted well, suddenly fell out too quickly.
● A routine peeling treatment unexpectedly caused redness.

These beauty signs were formed based on generations of observation. Astrologers analyzed celestial positions, lunar cycles, zodiac signs, and planetary interactions to determine favorable days for beauty treatments. Thanks to modern technology, today’s astrologers can pinpoint the exact moments that may enhance the effects of haircuts, coloring, extensions, skincare, and wellness procedures.

Some might say they tried following the recommendations but didn’t grow Rapunzel-like hair in three days or a lion’s mane overnight. Here, it’s important to manage expectations. The beauty calendar helps optimize what nature has given you and maximize the effects of the products you use. However, the health of your body and hair depends far more on proper nutrition and quality care than on the position of the stars.
