How is this done?
Do you trim your hair on both days? For example on both March 10&11th? Or on just one of the two?
Best Days
The dates listed are considered the “Best Days,” so you could trim your hair on either of the days (or both) to take advantage of the Best Days.
hair growth
my mother in law did this last year her hair would never grow past her neck. now its a lot longer past her shoulders. im doing it this year
Hair Growth
My hair is long enough to sit on. If you want some really good advice, stop getting it trimmed. I used to trim it myself, sometimes getting it trimmed professionally to rid it of the split ends. I decided to stop trimming it and now the split ends are gone. I believe the trimming is the cause and my hair is now long, thick, full and shiny. Stay away from anyone with scissors.
Trimming hair.
Trimming hair makes a blunt cut on ends of hair preventing split ends. Word of caution - scissors must be professional and sharp, and sharpened by someone who knows how sharp the scissors are suppose to be. Cutting hair with regular scissors or dull professional scissors will cause ends to start the split when cut. The scissors used on your hair were dull. Hope this clarifies.
Cutting hair for hair growth
I have it done every 3 months & my hair is twice as long as it was when I started last Dec. Sound weird I know but not only does it work my hair looks healthier & feels good again
Not sure why anyone would
Not sure why anyone would want to "cut hair" to encourage growth. We generally cut our hair to make it shorter. The faster it grows, the more often you have to cut it and the more money you spend at the beautician.
Cutting hair to encourage growth
My mom cut my hair when I was 12 to shoulder length. It has never grown any longer than that. I would love to have long hair. Its worth a shot to see if actually works.
Hair growth
I use to get my haircut on any day and it qasnt growing. My hairstylist suggested going by the Almanac best days. I did and my hair started growing again. My hair was above shoulder length in 2017 and now 2018 almost to my lower back bone. Give it a try, it works
Hair
Thanx for your great comment.. happy for your beautiful hair and i hope i'll improve mine if i start cutting it on the given days
Growing out hair
I plan on trying this as well. I would love to have long hair as well, I wore extensions for 2 years and loved the long hair. Too costly and not great for your hair. So I trimmed my short hair last week according to the "best day". How often do you plan on actually getting your hair trimmed? I was thinking maybe every 12 weeks then trim it on the best day. ?
Hair growth
I am growing my hair out so I trim on hair cut days. This works and is great for cancer patients. And also as a horse owner I trim manes and tails do my horses have beautiful hair as well.
Cut hair to encourage growth
Yes, it sounds counterintuitive.
After an illness, I found myself with dreadfully thinning hair. I had to cut it short because there was virtually nothing left but straggly strands.
I was guided by the Farmer's Almanac to trim my hair on those "growth days" every couple of months. It seemed to grow fast and come in fuller. My hair is long again, which was my intention.
The Full Moon
When farmers cuts the woolen fleece off of a sheep they like it to grow back in abundance for the next scheduled shearing.
Farmers historically have based many tasks off of the moon and sun’s rotation. Like a sailor befor maps using the stars to guide them. We have learned much successful techniques to those who were attuned to their surroundings. Much of which has been lost in the common population due to modernization such as industrialization.
The moon. It effects us all whether you are in tune with it or oblivious. It definitely effects us.
Our body is made of about 75 percent water. Look into how much the moon phases effect ovean tides. The moon has the biggest effect on ocean tides. Even more than the sun or inertia.
What sets our planet apart from what we know about other planets is we have water.
Earth + Water + Moon + Sun = LIFE
Encourage dates
I’m a hairstylist & I use it all the time for Clients wanting to grow their hair longer & the discourage dates for those who would like to lengthen time between cuts & color services.

Hair
If your hair isn’t trimmed regularly to keep it healthy and keep split ends in check it will keep splitting and look terrible and need more cut so when you do get a hair cut you will get shorter hair. When you cut by the sign it can be a small trim, it’s said it will help your hair grow more and grow faster. But if you don’t regularly trim it’s not going to grow well.

There is another farmers
There is another farmers almanac that does have opposing dates. However I have been using this guide for years and this is true, correct, and what is the best is it works.
It has to do with phases of
It has to do with phases of the moon, for USA. So, this calendar is correct. Has nothing to do with April, May, or June, at this point. They are over! 7-23-17
True the dates are not the
True the dates are not the same with other calendars but I think you have to consider the Time Zones. eg Morroccan Calendar versus Farmers Almanac differ.
This contradicts the
This contradicts the information elsewhere in the 2017 Almanac which states the best days to encourage hair growth in April as 26, 29 & 30 and May 1, 9, 27 & 28 and June 5, 6, 23 & 24. Which is correct?
Hi Lori,
Hi Lori,
We believe that you might be looking at a different almanac, rather than The Old Farmer’s Almanac. The dates listed on this page are correct, according to our sources!
I am with Lori on this one. I
I am with Lori on this one. I would think the moon and it's phases would be the same regardless of which almanac you read.
Best days VS. Almanac
There is a difference in how the different almanacs calculate days. This version of THE OLD FARMERS ALMANAC is the best & accurate. The other almanac lists different generalized dates.
I’ve used this one for years as a hairstylist, mother & nutritionalist, planter.
Won’t use any other.
Best Days
We appreciate your dedication, Crystal. Thank you for reading our Almanac!
