I just received this great question on Twitter about using Morrocco Method Organic Shampoos. Thanks so much Victoria!
momsnkidshealth @LivingEarthLive Hi there – wondering if you have any usage instructions for the Morrocco Method shampoos – is there a transition period?
Transitioning
Because Morrocco Method products are Organic, Vegan, and chemical-free, there can be a detoxification transition period. Often when one moves away from chemical laden shampoos, the hair follicles will begin letting go of toxins. Yes, hair can detox too! 
This means, it is possible to experience a short period of slightly less than glorious results before you start having GLORIOUS results. Personally, I had glorious results right away.
Using Morrocco Method Shampoos
(The following text is courtesy of Morrocco Method Int’l)Rotation
Morrocco Method 5 Elements Shampoos are designed to be used in rotation so that all aspects of hair and scalp can be nourished and maintained. Pine Shale (Air) and Apple Cider Vinegar (Fire) Shampoos nourish the hair and stimulate growth. Sea Essence (Water) and Earth Essence (Earth) Shampoos detoxify and regenerate hair and scalp. Rotate all four for maximum care — Pine Shale today, Apple Cider Vinegar tomorrow, Sea Essence the next day, then Earth Essence, then back to Pine Shale Shampoo to continue the rotation cycle. Regularly alternating shampoos helps to keep the hair and scalp receptive and responsive, insuring a thorough cleansing and nourishing every time they are used.
Two Steps to Gorgeous Hair
A perfect shampoo is achieved in two parts. The first shampooing cleanses hair and scalp of dirt, dead cells and dust, which you would otherwise massage back into the hair, scalp and follicle openings if you shampooed only once. This clogging debris could retard new hair growth and severely damage the oil glands, upsetting the natural fall-out and reproductive cycles of your hair.
The second shampooing and massage of your clean hair and scalp stimulates the flow of blood to the scalp and opens the hair follicles, allowing the blood vessels to feed each root, bulb and hair shaft, nourishing the entire follicle and activating the sebaceous (oil) glands. This ensures the proper lubrication and distribution of your own natural oils to the entire scalp and hair shafts. A natural coating of oil is vital to the maintenance of a healthy scalp and hair. It keeps the outer layer of hair lubricated and prevents drying, which is the excessive evaporation of moisture.
Step One: Wet your hair, then apply a nickel-sized portion of shampoo to your scalp. Massage it lightly into your hair and scalp, and then rinse thoroughly, using warm water.
Step Two: After rinsing, take a quarter-size portion of the same shampoo and massage it gently into your clean hair and scalp for a second cleansing, then rinse thoroughly, finishing with a cool rinse. Towel dry hair and scalp thoroughly. Your hair is now ready to be brushed and styled.

Thanks so much for this clarification, Jill – that’s the information I couldn’t find for some reason (the two-step info). I haven’t used chemical shampoos for probably 12 years, possibly longer, so maybe the transition is just me not using enough product? Or too much? On that note, I’ve got one more question for you!
) – do you need to use a bit more for long hair? I would assume so, but since it doesn’t lather, it’s hard to know how much to use. Just experiment til the hair feels ‘right’ afterwards? My scalp is already feeling better (wasn’t so happy beforehand), and my hair is bouncier and seems to have more volume – but for the first couple of days, it didn’t feel ‘clean’. I’ll keep experimenting and report back… Thanks again!
Hi Victoria,
Yes, your instinct is right – from my experience, you do need to use a bit more than you would a concentrated lathering shampoo. I have long hair too and found that I need more than a ‘traditional’ shampoo to get that clean feeling. Let me know how it goes.
Warmly,
Jill
Thanks for this great post about Morrocco Method.
I’ve been using Morrocco Method products for years and I too went through that “awkward” stage of detoxing but after a few weeks the change was amazing so stay the course and you won’t regret it.
