Okay, let’s talk about this whole ‘cutting hair when the Moon is in Leo’ thing. I’d heard about it ages ago, one of those old folklore bits, you know? Supposedly makes your hair thicker and stronger. My hair’s been feeling a bit blah lately, so I thought, what the heck, let’s give it a try. It’s not like it costs anything, just a bit of timing.
Checking the Signs
First step was figuring out when the Moon would actually be in Leo. I’m not exactly an astrologer, so I just pulled up one of those free Moon phase apps on my phone. Scrolled through the calendar until I saw the little symbol pop up for Leo. Looked like it was going to be happening over a couple of days the following week. Okay, marked it down mentally.
Getting Ready
When the day rolled around, I didn’t make a huge production out of it. It was evening, after work. I just grabbed my trusty pair of hair scissors – nothing fancy, just sharp enough for trimming ends. Went into the bathroom, made sure the lighting was decent.
- Found my regular comb.
- Stood in front of the mirror.
- Took a deep breath. Felt a little silly, but also kind of interesting.
Making the Cut
Here’s what I actually did: I wasn’t going for a whole new style or anything. My goal was just to trim the very ends, get rid of any split bits. I sectioned my hair roughly, just pulling parts forward over my shoulder. Then, I carefully snipped off maybe a quarter to half an inch, trying to keep it relatively even. I did this section by section.
While I was snipping away, I tried to keep that intention in mind – you know, thinking ‘thicker, stronger hair’. Sounds a bit woo-woo maybe, but I figured it couldn’t hurt. It was more about the ritual, the act of doing it during that specific time frame the app pointed out.
The Aftermath
Finished up, brushed out the loose bits. Did my hair look instantly transformed? Of course not. It looked… like I’d trimmed my ends. Shocker, right? But I felt good, like I’d followed through on my little experiment. Cleaned up the sink, put my scissors away.
Did it work? Honestly, it’s hard to say definitively. It’s only been a few weeks since I did it this last time. My hair feels pretty decent, maybe a bit healthier at the ends? But is that the Moon in Leo, or just the fact that I actually trimmed off the raggedy bits? Who knows!
I kind of like the idea of timing small self-care things like this. It makes mundane tasks feel a bit more intentional. Whether it dramatically changes my hair density according to the stars… well, the jury’s still out. But it was a simple practice, easy to do, and made me feel like I was doing something proactive. I’ll probably check the calendar and do it again next time the Moon swings through Leo. Why not?
