October New Moon Trim Dates

The moon and  stars to  rule over the night, for His steadfast love endures forever.
Psalms 136:9

What is New Moon hair growth?
It is using the power of the New Moon as it increases towards the Full Moon, to stimulate your hair growth. This is done by trimming your hair during the growing phase of the moon. You can trim as little or as much as you desire. 

What supplies do I need to practice this hair growth method?
A pair of hair cutting scissors. and a hair journal to record how much you cut and how much your hair grows every 40 days. This is all that is needed now how great is that!

I did the trim now what?
Be sure you have trimmed your hair on the correct dates, many people get it mixed up and believe you trim your hair on the Full Moon. But a Full Moon has already matured, you want to trim your hair so your hair can grow as the New Moon grows. Once you have the right date, then trim as you desire and write down how much you trimmed and the length of your hair now. Then every 40 days record your hair growth in you hair journal. 

Do I have to trim every month?
No you do not. Most people receive results from one new moon phase trim.  I believe you can continue to get results for up to 5 months after one new moon phase trim. Simply follow you regular trim schedule.  you can do it one time if you like. I believe you can get results up to 6 months after your trim. The only way to know for sure is to try it and keep an accurate record of your growth increase.  For accuracy it helps to measure in the same area each time and also keep the hair in the same condition each time you measure. If you did your first trim on stretched hair then remember to stretch your hair when you do your follow up measurements in 40 days. 

Hopefully you have a better understanding of what the New Moon hair growth method is and how to practice it. If you are one of those women who are afraid to cut your hair, fear not, your hair will grow back and you will gain even more. Trimming your hair is a part of a good hair care regimen, you should trim every 4 months that is 3 times a year. Now that is not bad is it? Your hair will love you for it and it will look so much healthier.

My continued growth results from August 

 My results from my new moon trim back on August 17, 2013.

I cut two inches from my bangs on August 17th, as of January 29th, my bangs have grown back 4.25 inches. I gained 4.25 inches of new growth in 5 months. My regular rate of hair growth is 1/4 inch per month. The new moon  method has almost given  me a consistent 1 inch  growth increase over the past 5 months. Four and 1/4 inches in 5 months. The average rate of hair growth per month is 1/2 inch.  I exceeded the the average! Praise God! On January 14th I did another New Moon trim, I cut 1/4 of an inch and that has grown back already. So what are you waiting on? Get your supplies ready and mark your date.

Best days to trim for hair growth (Aug)

My New Moon trim dates for this August are: 

23-27

30th

31st

These are the best days to trim for hair growth increase. 

We know hair grows automatically, if the root is alive. However you can use the power of the moon to enhance the amount of growth you receive in return. 

As the moon changes phases it holds different energy levels. The same as we use the earth for knowing when to plant and when to pluck. We can also use it for when to trim our hair. 

For more details on how I select the best dates each month, go HERE. 

Need to do a hair treatment? A treatment is normally something you do outside of your regular grooming routine. Doing your treatment on the right days, can increase the effectiveness and your results from the treatment.

New Moon Phase trimming for increase hair growth (July)

In order to maintain healthy hair you should have a regular trim schedule. On the Coily Queens Regimen you are encouraged to trim every 4th month. Only trim what is needed. If you follow the CQR, you will not have to trim more than .25 of an inch each time. So you will only trim one inch per year. Trimming like this will help you retain more length and reach longer lengths faster.

Following the CQR principles will take you to waist length and beyond if you desire!

Keep a natural hair journal and log your trims.   When it is time for your trim, schedule them on high energy days. Every month you are provided the best New Moon phase days to trim, in order to maximize hair growth. So while you might trim  1/4 inch, you will regrow double or triple that. When you trim on the right days. 

The best high energy days for July are:

2, 3, 4

7, 8

29, 30, 31

New Moon Phase trimming is an ancient concept. Man was created with the ability to read the earth. Farmers plant according to the phases of the moon. For more articles on New Moon Phase trimming please search this site. There are dozens of articles here. 

New Moon Phase best days to trim for growth (March-April)

Lots of ladies are growing longer hair by trimming their hair during high energy days of the month. Is it time for your trim? If so, try New Moon Phase trimming. You have to trim anyway to maintain healthy ends. 

What is New Moon Phase trimming?

Hair is partly made of hydrogen and oxygen. As the new moon grows into a full moon it draws fluids upward. We use that energy to increase hair growth. The energy is potent during specific times of the month. You will find that different sources vary in the best days to trim each month. I've had great success choosing my days over several years. I have used this to increase my hair growth and I've had many others tell me, my dates work for them. You have to decide for yourself. 

How do I choose my dates?

Based on the lunar calendar, how the moon aligns and most importantly by Christian discernment. 

But God chose the foolish things of this world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong. 1 Corinthians 1:27

When I consider your heavens, the works of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained. Psalm 8:3

Please understand:

As a Christian, we acknowledge that all power comes from God All Mighty. We are not worshiping the sun or moon. We are using its power. The same as we need the sun to survive in our body here on this earth. We are not chanting nor casting spells. We are using all sources God has created for us. Same as the farmer knows when to plant and when to pluck up. 

To God be all the Glory!!!

When is it time to trim your hair and how?

Have you been natural for awhile but you are not sure when to trim your hair? 

Here are a few reasons to trim your hair:

• When you manipulate it you feel popping and snapping
• When your hair does not style well.
• Check the hair which falls on the sink. Do you see short hairs the size of eyelashes? Those are split ends time to trim. 
• Your hair tangles excessively
• When you twist your hair you see frayed ends
• The ends of your hair are extremely see through

Although you can mend a split end temporarily with certain products, it is best to trim that split end off. Hair can split anywhere on the strand. But the most common type of split happens between mid strand and the ends. Once your hair starts to split it will continue to split all the way up the hair shaft. Always cut your splits immediately. 

How to trim your hair:

Seek a professional stylist

• Especially if this is your first cut since going natural
• Make an appointment with a professional who can work with natural coily hair.
• It is not necessary to straighten Afro hair, in order to trim it.
• A minimally skilled stylist should be able to trim your hair in its natural state.
• No blow dryers or straighteners needed, unless you want to. Be clear with the stylist your desires, before she begins to cut.

Trim it yourself

1. Detangle hair well
2. Separate hair into 2' by 2' sections
3. Two strand twist those sections
4. Twist as close to the end as you can
5. Using cutting shears, trim off the frayed ends

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU TRIM?

If you did not start your natural journey from a big chop, then you want to start with a professional trim. You want to start from clean, healthy ends. How much you will need to get cut will depend on the health of your hair. Get this trim with a cosmetologist. She will examine your ends and tell you how much she recommends to cut.

Once you have your first professional cut. Mark your calendar for every 4th month. This will equal 3 trims a year. Remove at least .25 inch each trim. Trim off more if necessary. Following this schedule and a healthy hair regimen, will enable you to maintain healthy full beautiful ends. When your ends look good, your hair styles well. You also retain more length. So you will reach your length goals faster. 

HOW THE ENDS OF YOUR TWISTS SHOULD LOOK
NO FRIZZ AND A UNIFORMED COIL

HOW TO KEEP FROM HAVING TO CUT A LOT EACH TRIM

1. Never brush your hair, it weakens your ends.
2. Fingercomb or use a seamless comb
3. Limit your use of flat irons and all heat straightening.
4. Keep your ends from rubbing on your clothing or seats.
5. Moisturize and oil your hair on a regular basis.

Five top reasons for chronic split ends

Split ends happen to all on occasion, however chronic split ends are not normal. You must cut a split hair. You cannot heal split ends. You can temporarily glue them together with treatments. Once hair splits, it is split. You cut it off, or it will continue to rip. 

1. No regular trim schedule
A  good hair care regimen should include a trimming schedule. You decide how often you will trim based on what you do to your hair. The Coily Queens Regimen recommends trimming your hair every 4th month. This equals three times a year. This is if you start out with totally healthy ends. When you trim you hair on a regular basis, your hair styles better and does not pop and break as much. 

HEAT STRAIGHTENING 

2. Using the wrong tools
Your ends will  split easily if you use flat irons, curling irons, blow dryers or pressing combs. Heat from these sources, dries the hair out. Because you are trying to maintain your straight style, you are not moisturizing it properly, and that dries it out even more.  Harsh direct heat also weakens the protein bonds. Your hair is made of lots of layers that protect it, heat weakens those cuticle layers. When any of those layers become weak, your hair will split and eventually break.

Using brushes and combs also weakens the hair bonds. It does it slower than harsh heat. If you use a brush even once a week, your ends will start to thin. The thinning is from the hair splitting and breaking. The end result is thin see through ends, which makes your hair hard to style. Using combs and brushes always require you to cut more inches off when it is time for your trim. The CQR recommends finger combing. Finger combing will save your hair.

3. Eat more protein
All hair is made up of mostly protein. Thus you must eat sufficient protein daily to keep the hair growing from your scalp strong. Include protein rich foods in your diet daily, foods such as: fish, nuts, beans are healthy proteins. Animal proteins build the strongest hair. Taking a hair growth supplement helps the hair to grow stronger and faster. Most of us are not getting a balanced diet daily, so supplement help to make up for diet. 

Including:  Herbal Essence, Dove, Garnier Frutics

4. Using harsh ingredients
Cheap products that include cheap ingredients, sit on your hair and weakens your hair cuticle. Yes many of them give you good immediate results. Most of them are filled with harsh cheap ingredients and silicones. You receive great results when you first use the product, but long term use only leads to dried out damaged hair. Stay away from those products, the cheap price and empty promises are not worth it. 

5. No protein treatments
You fail to include good protein treatments in your regimen on a regular basis. Many naturals, in error, feel they are protein sensitive. This is due to what they have read on hair forums. Your hair is protein so you are not sensitive to it. In most cases you have used the protein incorrectly or used the wrong protein product. Not all protein treatments are created equal. Look for a protein treatment that has hydrolyzed keratin protein in the top 5 ingredients. There are other types of proteins, but the animal proteins are the strongest. They give your hair the most strength. If you are going for beyond bra strap length, up your protein game!

We choose the best high energy days to trim our hair. Then we check out growth in 40 days and see how much we've gained. You may continue to gain over several months from just one New Moon Phase trim. I did a New Moon phase trim last September during a super high energy moon. I cut my very long bangs up to 6 inches.

Grow hair long by doing a New Moon Phase trim

 New Moon Trimming:
 >trimming your hair during high energy days. As the moon grows from New Moon to Full Moon, certain days carry a stronger energy than others. You can use this energy to increase your hair growth as the moon is growing.
 

Hopefully you left all negativity back in 2015. Being full of negative energy will only block your increase in all areas. Do not try a New Moon trim when you are in a negative disposition. The negative energy will block your success with this method. 

Now is the time to release all the negativity you have concerning your hair. Stop using negative terms to describe your hair. Stop stating what your hair hates or cannot do. Stop relating to your hair based on your past. Just because you never had long hair does not mean that you never will. Stop deceiving yourself, by saying you are okay with average results. Go for what you truly desire. If you want waist length hair, then say so. Shout it from your mouth! Put it out there! New Moon trimming is one of the ways you can achieve this goal. 

Here are the best days to trim for January. Subscribe to this blog so you can get the New Moon trim days each month. Understand you do not have to trim every month to increase your hair growth. You just maintain your normal trim schedule.

How to be a smart natural

Trim those bad ends!

If your goal is long healthy beautiful hair, then you must a regular trim schedule. Your first cut should be the removal of all your thin ends, puffy ends and any other damaged looking hair. You want to trim it down so you can start out with healthy hair. After your healthy hair cut, if you practice good hair care practices, you should be able to trim every 4th month. This equals to 3 cuts a year. That is a good trim schedule to maintain healthy hair if you have a healthy hair regimen. If you brush, flat iron straighten, color or comb your hair a lot, you will then need to trim your hair more often. The ends are the oldest part of your hair, and you must work hard to keep them healthy. You want your hair thick from the base to the ends. When you smooth your hair up, are your ends see through? How about when you put your hair in two strand twists, are your ends really thin and uneven? If so then it is time for a good trim. Be a smart natural and maintain healthy ends.

Stay away from Dominican blow outs!

Say no to harsh blow outs!!!

Lots of people love the way in which Dominican hair salons blow dry and flat iron hair. Sometimes you want to take a break from your curly hair and go with a straight look. When you feel like this by pass any Dominican salon. The popular Dominican blow out is achieved through intense blow drying the hair as a round brush is being brushed through the hair. Then the hair is flat irons on high heat. The combination of brushing, blow drying and flat ironing is way to much heat and pulling on Afro curly hair. Blow drying the hair with a round brush is actually how caucasions blow dry their hair for lots of body and silky straight hair. No doubt your hair will look good, but the short term damage is not worth it. I have seen people only get it done once and still encounter breakage and some heat damage. Be a smart natural and by pass this service. Flat iron your own hair or do a roller set. Visit youtube for help and practice until you get it perfect. 

HERE IS A REGIMEN YOU CAN FOLLOW BEFORE YOU FLAT IRON YOUR HAIR. THIS WILL HELP YOU REDUCE YOUR CHANCES OF HEAT DAMAGE, HERE!

Stay away from bleach and permanent color!

Color is pretty but it is also damaging. In particular permanent color. When you color your hair you will alter your hair texture slightly. Bleach weakens your hair cuticle and leaves the hair vulnerable to damage. Once you add color you need to change your moisture regimen. Whatever you are doing for moisture you want to triple that. Be a smart natural stay away from permanent color or bleach. Get some colored extensions to help satisfy your urge to color your hair.

MORE GREAT INFORMATION ON COLOR HERE!

Never use baking soda on your hair!

Ummm NO!

Baking soda is used by some to lift the hair cuticle to allow better penetration of deep conditioners and products. However this is a damaging practice. Baking soda is full of sodium which is very drying to the hair. Baking soda is also abrasive to the hair cuticle. Continuous use of baking soda will leave the hair damaged. Be a smart natural and by pass this remedy.

Never texturize your hair!

Just give me curls!

So you have been natural for 18 months and you still do not know how to manage and style your hair. You are frustrated and think a texturizer will be the answer to your hair issues. You think the texturizer will gently relax your curl pattern so you can so call better manage your hair. There is nothing gentle about a texturizer. A texturizer is another marketing word for a relaxer. You see the woman on the front of the box with the relaxer curl pattern and you think, yes that would be nice. But not so fast. First know that a texturizer is a permanent process and you will not longer be natural. Second know that is is very hard to just relax the curl pattern on tightly curly hair. Usually what happens the persons ends up not with loose curls but with straight hair. So now you have an even bigger issue of under processed hair. Under processing the hair means you need to work even harder to keep it from breaking off. Now remember you thought this texturizer would make your hair care easier. But now you have even more work to do and you cannot achieve the natural styles you had before. Your wash and go will not looks the same.  Your twist outs will not have as much volume.  The majority of the people I know who have texturized their hair have regretted it within a week of doing it. So think long and hard before you take this step. Especially if your hair is longer than a TWA. Be a smart natural and by pass the texturizer/relaxer. 

Following a specific regimen:
When we consistently take care of anything it will flourish, and your hair is no different. So have a specific daily, weekly hair care regimen for your hair and scalp. Cleanse and condition the hair on a regular basis. If you have no ideal on how to develop a regimen, no problem. You can start the CoilyQueens Regimen today. Be a smart natural follow the regimen that works. CoilyQueens Regimen here.
