I’ve heard about Morrocco Method Int’l products through friends and the kind people at Morrocco Method Int’l sent me two sample products to review. I wasn’t sure what to make of them when I opened the Earth Essence Shampoo.
As you can see, it’s pretty much a muddy texture.
What’s in this stuff?
Ingredients:
- Water (Aqua)
- Micronized Pure Southwestern White Clays (Montmorrillonite)
- Micronized Grey, Red, and Brown Kaolin Clays
- Soapbark (Quillaya Saponaria)
- Green Tea (Thea Sinensis)
- Naturally Foaming Cactus (Opuntia Erinacea)
- Blood of the Dragon Rare Protien (Jatropha Dioica)
- Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis)
- Red, Brown, and White Algae Leaf Extract (Spirunlia Platensis)
- Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (Acetic Acid)
- Essential Oils of Patchouli (Pogostemon Cablin), Palmarosa (Cymbopogon Martenii), and Ylang Ylang
- 92 Trace Minerals and Rare Plant/Marine/Fruit Proteins as Natural Preservatives
I had doubts as to the cleanliness factor of putting a mud in my hair, but looks are deceiving. I used half of the shampoo sample to coat my hair in the shower and let it sit on my hair for about two minutes. I suppose I should have read if there were instructions for this, but realistically, that’s all the time I really had. One thing that I noticed, my hair did feel thicker. Considerably so. It also smelt strongly of patchouli. I suppose at this moment, I realized I had crossed into full fledge hippy and wasn’t afraid really, I know these products are MUCH better for my hair than any mainstream shampoo could ever be. My hair tends to get a bit oily and this particular shampoo did help stop that. When I was just doing my no ‘poo Apple Cider Vinegar/Baking Soda routine, I would feel my hair get greasy the next day if I skipped a day of it. That alone makes this product valuable to me.
The Sapphire Volumizer Mist Conditioner & Moisturizer was helpful to increase thickness as well.
Ingredients:
- Micro Clustered Ionized Water
- Grapeseed (Vitus Inifera) Extract infused in Cold Pressed St. John’s Wort
- Pure essential Oils of Wild Rose (Rosa Rubiginosa), Evening Primrose (Oenathena Biennis), Sandalwood (Santalum Albus) Frankincense and Myrrh (Commiphora Myrrha)
It didn’t have an odour at all. I really felt my hair strengthened while using this. I was so sceptical, but it worked for me. I have wavy frizzy hair and I didn’t feel either product was heavy or greasy. I do have to use products to tame the frizz in my hair, but luckily that didn’t override the Volumizer Mist that I sprayed on while my hair was wet. You can use the spray on wet or dry hair.
Over all, I am very glad I received the samples and I know I will be looking for these products from now on. I think they’d make a lovely gift to your favourite blogger, perhaps? Haha. I kid.
This weekend I am FINALLY getting myself together to go red yet again – I’m using Morroco Method Henna Red. Woo! Will definitely blog about that.
Stay tuned!
Do you know if it’s available in the states?
This brand is sold mainly out of the states, from what I can tell off their website: https://www.morroccomethod.com/en/locations
Never heard of this brand, Lidia. The ingredient list is so – pure! Love that.
I only knew about it from my raw vegan friends. The ingredient deck is lovely. The smell lingers for days. It’s amazing that way.
I’ve never heard of this either – but it looks goopy and fun. I will have to keep my eye out for it.
It is kind of fun, I enjoyed putting a mud like substance in my hair, made me feel like a) I was at the spa and b) made me feel like a kid again.
