The superstition suggests that cutting bangs or trimming hair during the new moon phase will promote healthier and faster hair growth. The ritual is typically performed at night or on the exact day of the new moon. The timing is considered essential, aligning natural bodily rhythms with lunar cycles believed to influence growth and regeneration. The practice may involve quietly trimming a small portion of the hair while standing outside or near a window so as to be in view of the moon. This belief is part of a broader set of lunar beauty or agricultural superstitions, in which the moon’s phases are thought to affect biological growth. Many adherents believe that the new moon represents beginnings and rejuvenation, and cutting hair at this time symbolizes a fresh start or renewal. No tools or chants are typically required beyond the haircut itself, though some may couple it with personal intention or silence.
