Morrocco Method - Lunar Hair Care

I discovered the Morrocco Method many years ago while doing some research. The Morrocco Method correlates with the different moon cycles to recommend the best days for hair cutting and beautifying your hair. The chart pays special attention to the following areas, lengthening, strengthening, thickening, root work and beautifying. I found the Morrocco Method interesting so I began using it more for hair strengthening, but never consistently.

While I am not seeking to gain hair length or thickness, my main focus presently is to improve the texture in my hair. Also, it will help me keep track of my trims and the treatments that I will use on my hair.

Follow my progress in this section as I document my experiences using the Morrocco Method Hair Chart.

Today is a full moon and according to the Lunar Hair Chart, today is for "Beautifying". I went to Sally's and bought a product called Millennia Mud Reconstructor by Excelsior, which is a product made to thicken hair and reconstructs hair bonds for healthy hair. It was a pretty decent product, but it made my a hair a little too soft (stay tuned for a detailed review).

So far I am loving this Morrocco Method because it is helping me keep up with my hair (I admit I have been slacking). While I can't say that I am seeing a difference yet (it's only been two weeks) I'm definitely planning on staying on track!

Next up is "Thickening" for the end of this month...which I may skip, but we'll see.

According to the chart, today is for lengthening so I put my hair in about 12 twists and dusted the ends. I only trimmed about 1/4 of an inch off the ends. I'm very happy with this length and I may end up cutting my hair back to this length in the coming months but we will see. :)

This is the first day of documenting my experiences with the Morrocco Method. I printed out the calendar for 2011 and planned out the upcoming cycles. Here are two photos for reference -- the length and condition my hair is currently:

This is a braidout made from 3 plaits.

I trimmed my hair about 1 month ago to make it all one length. Currently my hair reaches the top of my shoulders.
