According to the "best days" link in the article, November 7th is the best day to cut your hair because the moon phase and zodiac will lead to slower hair growth if you cut it today.

I am amazed this publication made it this far.

I have fond memories of poring over it (or maybe it was the other one, they’re pretty similar) and taking it all in as a kid.

Looking at it with an adult’s eyes, it’s absolute twaddle.

But people go for that sort of thing. How much money gets made on astrology?

Unfortunately, I think you underestimate how rampant superstition is in the US.

It's world wide, not just the US.

I started cutting my hair on the 7th of each month and things have been going really well for me. I won't stop now!
