1) "Hair growth is affected by the Moon in the same way, as anything else on the planet. When the gravity changes, state of your health changes, too. With the lower gravity, even if the change is so small that you don’t feel it, your hair grows slower. It happens in the beginning of the moon cycle and in the middle, on the full moon. During the new moon and the old moon, the gravity is bigger, and the hair grows faster. Thus, the perfect time for visiting your stylist is on the 3-11th days of the moon cycle, as well as on17-24th days. Your hair will grow faster during these days." "Even if you do not believe all of the said, you can’t deny the influence of gravity on human organism. Thus, there really are certain connections and influences of the Moon on the hair growth. There are only few reminding to those who expect miracles: • Changes in Earth’s gravity are very small, so you shouldn’t expect fantastic results. • If your stylist has a "heavy" hand and your hair doesn’t grow back in two weeks after hair cut, you shouldn’t expect a miraculous hair growth, too. • If your hair is in unhealthy condition, it will use any opportunity to revive itself first, and only then it will grow longer. • My last reminding is that if you used to have short haircut, and now you’ve decided to grow your hair long, it will take time, doesn’t matter when you cut your hair, and who cuts it. Our hair grows only up to 5-7 mm per month, and this is a proven scientific fact. So, whether or not you believe that the Moon and hair growth are connected, you would agree that as long as you live on the planet, you will feel, consciously or subconsciously, all changes and influences made by our planet and its counterparts."

The haircut, however, also broke the law. No police officer raced in to arrest Mr. Giunta, but his small act of civil disobedience is not likely to go unnoticed. Mr. Giunta, 48, an elegant man whose white hair and goatee is set off by sleek black shirts and trousers, is a rebel with an unlikely cause. He is fighting city government, two hairdressers' unions and dozens of small trade associations for the right to keep his shop open when the moon is full. He and some of his clients believe that the best time to cut hair is under a full moon, an ancient superstition that has not entirely died out in Italy."
