Lunar Hair Calendar November 2026: Best Days to Cut Your Hair Through Scorpio Season

The lunar hair calendar for November 2026 is one of the cleanest of the year. No eclipses, no interrupted cycle, just four principal phases in tidy weekly intervals.

Below you will find every moon phase with its exact time, the zodiac sign the moon occupies on each day, and which days traditionally favour length, which favour thickness, and which are better spent oiling than cutting. All times are given in UTC. Bali time, where these are calculated, runs eight hours ahead. If you want the reasoning underneath the dates, when to cut hair for growth covers it properly.

The Lunar Hair Calendar November 2026 at a Glance

Four principal phases shape the month. The last quarter moon falls on Sunday 1 November at 20:28 UTC with the moon in Leo. The new moon arrives Monday 9 November at 07:02 UTC in Scorpio. First quarter is Tuesday 17 November at 11:47 UTC in Aquarius. The full moon, the Beaver Moon, peaks Tuesday 24 November at 14:53 UTC with the moon at two degrees of Gemini. A second last quarter closes the sequence on Tuesday 1 December at 06:08 UTC.

That gives you two clear halves. The waxing half runs from 9 to 24 November, fifteen days of building light. The waning half covers 1 to 9 November and then 24 to 30 November. The Sun sits in Scorpio until 22 November, then moves into Sagittarius, which shifts the month from deep and internal to open and restless. If you are still working the month before this one, the October 2026 lunar hair calendar runs in the same format.

Best Days to Cut Your Hair for Growth and Length

The waxing moon is the traditional window for length. Hair cut while the light is increasing is said to grow back faster and fuller at the ends. The sign the moon occupies then refines the result.

13 and 14 November, moon in Capricorn, sixteen to twenty three percent lit. Capricorn is the earth sign of structure. Choose it if your hair is fine and you want body rather than length, or for a blunt line that needs to hold.

20 and 21 November, moon in Aries, seventy nine to eighty seven percent lit. The strongest pure growth days of the month. They can encourage coarser regrowth, so they suit thick or curly hair better than fine hair.

22 and 23 November, moon in Taurus, ninety three to ninety eight percent lit. Taurus rules the throat and is traditionally the sign of shine. These two days sit just below the full moon and are the best of the month for a cut that needs to look glossy immediately. If you make one appointment in November, make it here.

Best Days to Cut for Thickness and Strength

The waning moon slows regrowth, which sounds like a disadvantage and is not. A waning cut holds its shape longer, which is what you want from a fringe, a bob, or any line you have paid to have precisely placed. Waning is also the traditional choice for thickening at the root.

1 and 2 November, moon in Leo, fifty four falling to forty three percent lit. Leo governs the hair itself in traditional correspondence, and a waning Leo moon is the classic combination for density at the scalp. Two of the best days in the month.

3, 4 and 5 November, moon in Virgo, thirty two falling to fourteen percent lit. Virgo is precision. The window for removing split ends without losing length, and for anyone growing hair out who still needs a tidy.

28, 29 and 30 November, moon in Leo again, seventy nine falling to fifty eight percent lit. A softer version of the first Leo window, with more light behind it, and easier to book.

The Days to Skip in November 2026

Skip 8 and 9 November. The moon is dark, under one percent lit, and the tradition is consistent across cultures that this is the lowest point of vitality in the cycle. Nothing terrible happens if you cut then, but the rest of the month is wide open.

Treat 24 November, the exact full moon, with some care. Many lunar hair traditions consider the full moon excellent for oiling and treatment but volatile for cutting, particularly with the moon in a mutable air sign like Gemini. Use it for a rosemary oil ritual instead and book your cut two days earlier in Taurus.

How Scorpio Season Shapes the Month

Scorpio season, which holds until 22 November, asks what you are actually willing to let go of. It is not accidental that so many women cut their hair in November. The impulse is real, but Scorpio is also the season most likely to produce a decision at eleven at night that you regret by Thursday.

Let the calendar hold the impulse. If the urge arrives on 10 November, note it and book for 22 November. Twelve days is long enough to know whether you wanted the haircut or wanted the change.

Common Questions About the Lunar Hair Calendar November 2026

What are the best days to cut hair for growth in November 2026? The 20th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd of November 2026 are the strongest days for growth, because the moon is waxing and passing through Aries and then Taurus. The 22nd and 23rd are the best overall, combining high waxing light with Taurus, the sign traditionally linked to shine and thickness.

When is the full moon in November 2026? The full moon in November 2026 falls on Tuesday 24 November at 14:53 UTC, with the moon at two degrees of Gemini. It is commonly called the Beaver Moon.

Is it bad to cut your hair on a new moon? Traditional lunar hair practice avoids the new moon, which in November 2026 is the 9th, because the cycle is at its lowest point of light and regrowth is considered slowest. There is no evidence of harm. It is simply the least favourable timing in a month that offers many better options.

What is the difference between cutting on a waxing and a waning moon? Cut on a waxing moon for faster, fuller regrowth and added length. Cut on a waning moon for slower regrowth, a shape that holds longer, and more density at the root. Waxing serves length. Waning serves structure.

Does the moon sign matter as much as the phase? The phase decides the direction and the sign refines the texture. Leo and Virgo are the traditional hair signs, Taurus brings shine, Aries brings speed, and Capricorn brings body. When phase and sign agree, as they do on 1 and 2 November and again on 22 and 23 November, the day is considered strongest.

If you want the whole year rather than one month, the 2026 lunar hair calendar hub maps every cycle, and the feng shui haircut calendar runs the same question through the Chinese almanac, which reaches different answers worth knowing about.

Used well, the lunar hair calendar for November 2026 is not a rule. It is a way of asking yourself twice, which is usually all a good decision needs.
