A few months ago, I was sent a sampler kit of shampoos and conditioners from Morrocco Method. I was extremely excited to try Morrocco Method because I was in search of a new line of natural hair care products after years of using quasi-natural Aveda products.
All of Morrocco Method’s products are wild-crafted, raw, vegan and gluten-free. The following is a little more about Morrocco Method, taken from their website:

Two and a half months ago I started on my Morrocco Method hair detox journey. The Morrocco Method system is based on a rotation of five shampoos, each based on a different element. In addition to the shampoos and conditioners, I was also sent a sample of Zen Detox to aid with the detox symptoms that I was experiencing, specifically extreme scalp oiliness.
After two and a half months of using Morrocco Method’s shampoos, conditioners and Zen Detox, I am still experiencing detox symptoms, such as oily scalp, lackluster hair and breakouts on my neck and along my hair line. I have not worn my hair down since I started using their products. After much thoughtful consideration and lots of advice and help from the lovely people of Morrocco Method, I have decided to stop using their products.
I believe that there are several factors that contributed to my poor results, specifically:
- I workout like an athlete and therefore am sweating like an athlete 😉
- It has been a HOT summer and I sweat easily
- Matthew and I are very active and go on several walks and I workout almost every day
- I only wash my hair 2-3 times per week
- I have a naturally oily scalp
- My hair is color-treated
- I have naturally curly hair that has somewhat dry ends
- My hair strands are fine, but I have A LOT of them
- Breastfeeding and fluctuating hormones are causing occasional night sweats
Even though Morrocco Method’s products did not work out for me, I am extremely grateful to them as a company for allowing me to sample their products and to consequently write this honest review. Through the entire detox process, Morrocco Method has tried everything in their power to alliviate my detox symptoms.
Now I am back on the hunt for natural hair care products. Today Matthew and I stopped at Mastel’s Health Foods to pick up a few new products to try out and I was able to use a Living Social coupon that I purchased a couple months ago!
Which natural beauty products do you love?
I just started using Say Yes to Tomatoes for the acne that I developed during my hair detox and in less than a week I seen a significant improvement in my skin!

Thank you for your honest reviews! I’ve been on Google for reviews on this product and all were the same scripted bull! You were the only honest review. Because of your review, I have discovered one of my top holistic/health blogger is a paid-for or (she’s hoping to be paid in the future!) by all means necessary.

Hi!
This is the first review I have seen about morrocco method that was the same experience that I had. I used the shampoo for 11.5 months. My hair is much much thicker, shinier and I had a lot of new hair growth! I can tell that the products are great but, just not for me. I could only wear my hair back and I didn’t really see the shine until I stopped using the shampoo.
I learned so much during the process…I now use ‘organic excellence shampoo’ my hair still doesn’t need conditioner, I still use the zen detox mask once a week and I do an ACV rinse every other wash.
My hair is naturally oily and I own a fitness studio, I am also sweating a lot.
I hope this helps anyone else who is struggling…I may use the morrocco method 4-6 weeks a year just to continue the hair re-growth and treat it like any detox that I do for my internal body a few times a year.
