Healing Haircuts Aligned With the Lunar Calendar

At Malama Crown Rituals, my approach to hair cutting is not rushed or routine. It is intentional, energetic, and timed.

My Healing Haircuts are guided by the lunar calendar, honoring the moon’s influence on growth cycles, the nervous system, and the body’s natural rhythms.

For centuries, cultures across the world have aligned grooming, planting, and healing practices with the moon. Just as the tides respond to lunar pull, so do we.

Hair, scalp, and the body are deeply connected to water, hormones, and cycles of renewal.

Why the Moon Matters

The moon governs cycles of release, growth, rest, and regeneration. When we align a haircut with the appropriate lunar phase, we support not only the physical structure of the hair, but also the energetic intention behind it.

This is not about superstition. It is about rhythm, timing, and respect for the body’s natural intelligence.

Lunar Phases & Their Haircut Intentions

New Moon – Release & Reset
A powerful time to let go. Haircuts during the New Moon support shedding what no longer serves you, both physically and energetically. Ideal for:

  • Emotional transitions

  • Postpartum or stress-related shedding support

  • Scalp detox and reset

  • Fresh beginnings

Waxing Moon – Strength & Growth
As the moon grows, so does momentum. This phase supports strengthening the hair shaft, encouraging healthier growth patterns, and building vitality. Ideal for:

  • Those growing their hair longer

  • Rebuilding after hair loss

  • Supporting density and fullness

Full Moon – Amplification & Awareness
The Full Moon heightens everything. Haircuts at this time are intentional and ceremonial, often bringing clarity, confidence, and visibility. Ideal for:

  • Conscious reshaping

  • Major identity shifts

  • Those wanting to feel seen and empowered

Waning Moon – Calm & Maintenance
A gentle phase for refinement and care. This is a supportive time for maintenance cuts and calming the scalp and nervous system. Ideal for:

  • Scalp inflammation or sensitivity

  • Stress-related hair concerns

  • Maintaining shape and balance

More Than a Haircut

A Healing Haircut is not about taking length. It is about listening.

Each session begins with intention setting and a brief scalp assessment with me The cut itself is performed slowly and mindfully, allowing the body to stay relaxed and receptive. For many guests, this becomes a grounding and emotional experience, not just a cosmetic one.

This service pairs beautifully with scalp rituals, microscopy sessions, and ongoing hair restoration care.

Is This Right for You?

Healing Haircuts are ideal for you if:

  • Feel disconnected from your hair or body

  • Are navigating hair loss, shedding, or scalp imbalance

  • Desire a deeper, more meaningful salon experience

  • Want your hair care to align with natural cycles

Booking Your Lunar-Aligned Cut

I schedule appointments according to the lunar calendar, and availability is intentionally limited to preserve the integrity of the ritual.

If you feel called to slow down, reset, and reconnect with your crown, you are in the right place.
