Lunar haircut calendar for February 2026: when you can change your hairstyle and take care of your hair
1 February 21:15
In February, many people feel the desire to make some changes to their appearance and refresh themselves. Most plan to simply trim their ends or restore their hair after wearing hats and dry air, while others decide on a radically new haircut or color.
The lunar haircut calendar will help you choose the most favorable days for a haircut, dyeing, or hair restoration. At the same time, it is worth remembering that there is no scientific evidence that the phases of the moon directly affect hair growth.
The phases of the moon in February 2026 and how each of them affects hair
It is most convenient to plan haircuts and hair care procedures according to the key lunar phases.
- Waxing Moon – February 1 and February 18-28. This is considered the most favorable period for haircuts, as hair will grow back faster, become thicker and stronger. During this period, you can also plan coloring and restorative procedures – the color and care will last longer;
- Full Moon – February 2. On full moon days, hair can be more sensitive to external influences, so on such days it is worth avoiding any radical changes, in particular, complex haircuts and experiments with color;
- Waning Moon – February 3-16. This phase of the moon is ideal for shaping, cleansing the scalp, and various restorative procedures, as the hairstyle will last longer and the ends will be less split.
- New Moon – February 17. During the New Moon, hair can behave unpredictably, so it is not recommended to make radical changes.
