This superstition involves a specific timing and natural setting to encourage healthy hair regrowth. The ritual begins by cutting a portion of one’s hair during the new moon—considered a time of new beginnings and growth in many lunar traditions. The cut hair is then taken and buried in the soil beside a running brook or stream. Practitioners believe the movement of flowing water energetically stimulates renewal and abundance, and the earth acts as a medium for growth. The natural elements—moon, earth, and water—symbolize the cycle of life and rejuvenation. The combination of these forces is thought to enhance vitality, leading to longer, thicker hair. The process is typically done in private, sometimes accompanied by a prayer or personal intention. Sensory elements such as moonlight, moist soil, and the sound of water enhance the ritual’s connection with nature.
