Why by the moon?
For washing and care, folk tradition names Leo the best day: hair is said to gain shine and body. On Pisces days Paungger/Poppe advises against intensive treatments — hair supposedly absorbs care poorly and turns stringy fast.
On Cancer the traditions disagree: some count it among the unfavorable water days, others see no effect. The rule therefore counts at half weight.
