The Crescent Moon/Diana's Bow - Time to cut hair!

It's a new crescent moon out, and here at our house, at least for me, it's time to cut hair!
When the moon is a thin crescent, just after the new moon, we call it "Diana's Bow". That's when the moon is about 3 days old.

Several years ago I read a book called "Living by the Moon" by Ute York. An article in the book about a Russian barber who arranged with some of his clients to only cut their hair on the full moon or the new crescent (Diana's Bow) for many years really left an impression on me. In the article the barber talked of how his clients hair seemed to slow down it's thinning and some clients' hair even thickened or when from straight to wavy over the course of several years.

For the last 15 years or so, I have only cut my hair on the full moon or Diana's Bow. Now, up until 5 years ago, I could safely say this totally worked for me. My hair had thinned as I'd gotten older, but when I started cutting it according to the moon phase, it slowed down it's thinning and even got a little wavier. Then I started taking pre-natal vitamins prior to getting pregnant, and my hair really started looking great (from the vitamins). After my son was born however, my hair took a turn for the worse - a bunch fell out and it thinned and lost most of it's waviness.


But I refuse to give up! I continue to cut my hair according to the moon phase. Here's the basic rules:


If you want your hair to GROW, cut it on the full moon or when it is 3 days old (3 days after the New Moon aka Diana's Bow).
If you want hair to slow down it's growing (like shaving legs, face, etc) then cut/shave on the New Moon, the 3 days prior to the New Moon and the days following the Full Moon.

So what do you think? Willing to experiment on yourself and change when you cut your hair? It takes a few years to see a difference but it does work!
