New Moon Hair Care: Fact or Fiction?

New Moon Hair Care: Should You Cut Your Hair During a New Moon? A recent video by beauty influencer Gema Prieto (@SoyGemaP) has sparked discussion about the impact of lunar phases on hair growth. Prieto advises against cutting hair on May 27th, 2025, due to the new moon, claiming it can weaken hair and lead to increased shedding. "No cortes tu cabello estos días!" she warns in her video. While the connection between lunar cycles and hair growth lacks scientific evidence, Prieto's video has garnered significant attention, highlighting the enduring popularity of lunar calendar-based practices. Experts caution against solely relying on such practices for hair care, emphasizing the importance of balanced nutrition and proper hair care routines. However, Prieto's video serves as a reminder of the diverse beliefs and practices surrounding hair care and the cultural significance of the lunar calendar.
