My hair journey with Morrocco
Method is slightly different from most due to my having gone “poo free” a
couple of years prior to starting to use the Morrocco Method products. I have
never had great hair but after going “poo free” my hair became a bit more curly,
and easier to deal with but. Years of
swimming competitively, growing up in California swimming in the ocean and
heavily chlorinated pools and generally not taking very good care of my hair
had made it more straw then a soft, smooth, shiny crowning glory. My hair was just something that I had to keep
clean and long enough to put up in a pony tail.
My “poo free” lifestyle
worked well enough while I lived in Northern Wisconsin as I was able to keep it
in a bun or tucked into a hat when I was going to spend a lot of time out in
the winter elements or wrapped in a scarf when I was hiking or camping but I
found after I had moved to a high mountain desert that I needed something more
than what I was able to create for myself.
Even though I was creating shampoos and conditioners that were home made
and natural my hair went from curly to frizzy and was getting nothing but more
frizzy.
I did some research and found
the Morrocco Method. Around the same
time that I had found MM I read a blog post by a woman I respect from the Paleo
Diet community about the changes she had noticed after using the shampoos and
conditioners. That sealed it for me….I
ordered my trial packs of shampoos and conditioners!
Now, since I had been “poo
free” for so long I didn’t have the oily, greasy stage to deal with and since
my hair was already dry, frizzy and totally unmanageable but completely
chemical free I noticed a difference right away. After the third shampoo I was noticing more
curly and less frizzy but the biggest difference happened when I had taken the
Zen Detox to the “caves” in Idaho Springs, CO.
The “caves” are man made vapor caves with hot springs pools. The air in the caves is extremely hot,
extremely humid and loaded with a number of different minerals from the hot
spring water used in the pools that are beneficial for your skin and your
hair. Add this environment with the Zen
Detox and 2 hours of meditation, yoga twists and relaxation and you have an
additional pump to the detox effects of the Zen Detox. Once my hair dried I was amazed at the change
in texture and softness of my hair (my hair has never been truly soft).
Since I have started using
the Morrocco Method I have found that I can go 3-4 days (I used to wash at
least once daily) between washing although when I take a shower I will rinse my
hair and give my scalp a little massage.
I have also noticed that I have a ton of re-growth coming in at my
temples. This is hair that I had lost
during my childbearing years and menopause.
My hair is thicker, stronger
and starting to curl again! I am finding
that there is more lift at the roots and when I finger comb my hair after
washing there are no “snaps” of hair breaking. I use the Lunar hair cutting
chart and rotate my shampoos regularly.
I absolutely love these products!
Now I just need to know the
best time to shave my head for optimum re-growth~a friend will be losing her
hair due to chemo and radiation and I am shaving my head in solidarity and
respect for her. Yes, I will be giving
her a travel pack of shampoos and conditioners for when her hair starts to grow
back!
Anthony, when will be the
best time for both of us to shave our heads?
I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I have enjoyed achieving healthy hair.
