Wednesday to Sunday: the hair days line up
Try this today
- Fine hair, want more body? Book April 14, 15 or 16, the waxing Leo days.
- Want a growth trim and a tidy shape in one visit? April 17 or 18, the Virgo weekend.
- Colour on your mind? Gemini on April 10 and 11 is the waxing air-sign pair.
April gives the growth crowd its longest run. The Moon enters Leo on Wednesday, April 14, a little over half lit and growing, and stays in Leo through Friday, April 16. Then it moves into Virgo for Saturday, April 17 and Sunday, April 18. Five waxing hair days in a row, Wednesday to Sunday.
The three Leo days are the reason April gets the body-and-thickness spotlight. Moon-calendar books describe Leo as the sign for fuller-looking hair, so if your hair is fine and you want it to feel thicker, the tradition would send you to April 14, 15 or 16. Virgo, on the weekend, is the shape sign: a growth trim that also cleans up layers.
Outside that run, April is neutral to quiet. The new Moon is on April 6 in Aries, so the first week is waning and then barely waxing. The Moon is in Taurus on April 8 and 9 and in Gemini on April 10 and 11, both fine for a growth trim if the Leo days do not work for you.
No April day is a waning hair day, so if you want a short cut to hold, the waning Capricorn days on April 26 and 27 are the best fallback.
The Moon this month
The Pink Moon slips from Libra into Scorpio
April's full Moon, the Pink Moon in the Farmers' Almanac naming, is at 0° Scorpio, which means the Moon only just crossed out of Libra before turning full late on April 20 (UTC). At noon UTC on the 20th it is still in Libra, an air sign. By April 21 and 22 it is in Scorpio, and the folk rule says rest the scissors.
The Pisces stretch at the start of the month, April 3 to 5, is another skip run. Cancer on April 12 and 13 sits right before the Leo days, so the hair-day run starts the morning after two skip days.
The treatment days are April 6 and 7 in Aries, around the new Moon, and April 23 to 25 in Sagittarius.
