About Our Henna Products
Morrocco Method Henna products are completely natural and free of any chemical additives and colorings.
The various colors are derived through the use of the same main
ingredient: the natural henna plant (Lawsonia Inermis). By using
different concentrations and parts of the plant, such as Roots - stalks -
flowers and the stem or the leaves, we are able to derive varying
potencies. Thus, the stronger formulations give a darker effect, where
as the lighter concentrations produce lighter colors - and all of this
is done naturally!
As for the black henna for hair, we add in the Indigo plant. The
Indigo is a natural shrub in the legume family that thrives in dry and
almost poor conditions. The Indigo is great for darkening certain Henna
shades and allows us to produce the Black Henna.
For lighter shades such as the Marigold Blonde, we use Marigold
leaves to produce a lighter potency. One thing you should note is that
the Marigold Blonde Henna won't lighten your hair if you have dark hair.
In fact, no natural henna hair dye product will produce a lightening
effect! So we recommend the Marigold Blonde to customers with grey and
white hair and lighter naturally blonde hair, and to those who want to
add blonde highlights / more blonde effects and conditioning shine to
their greying follicles!
Animal cruelty free.
All Morrocco Method 5 Elements products are gluten free.
Henna hair dye works its magic without damaging, without drying, and
without chemically altering the structure of the hair. Specially
recommended for those with chemical sensitivities.
Our natural hair color lets you naturally change color or add
highlights your hair without exposing yourself to harmful, damaging
chemicals. Lots of colors to select from or mix and match to create your
own unique style! See Color Chart. Light Blonde (Marigold) Henna
should not be mixed with any other Henna colors, if Light Blonde
(Marigold) is mixed with Browns you will get an orange or reddish color.
The chart shows how the use of various henna hair dye shades may
affect your natural hair color. Actual results may vary depending on
your particular hair makeup and how the henna for hair was prepared and
applied.

Neutral Henna (also known as Cassia obovata, Cassia, or Senna) is
used strictly for the conditioning benefits of henna, minus the
coloration. However, if you leave it in longer than directed or use
other ingredients, Neutral Henna might leave a subtle yellow tint. To
best avoid this, explicitly follow the instructions below. Dyeing your
hair with chemicals after using Neutral Henna might yield unpredictable
results if you do not wait 6-8 weeks after a Neutral Henna treatment.
This is because Neutral Henna makes your hair less porous and less
susceptible to dyes.
How to Mix & Apply Neutral Henna
Tools:
- Mixing Bowl (wooden or glass preferable)
- Mixing Spoon (wooden preferable)
- Measuring Spoon/Cup
- Gloves (vinyl/rubber)
- Plastic Wrap -OR- Plastic Shower Cap
- OPTIONAL: Fabric Cap (beanie, ski cap, etc.)
Ingredients:
- Neutral Henna Kit
- Filtered Water, 3 cups
Mixing & Application
- Put
Neutral Henna powder into a mixing bowl. Stir in filtered water a
little at a time while mixing, until it is the consistency of yogurt.
The mixture should not drip from the spoon but should still be easily
spreadable. You may not need all 3 cups of tea to achieve this.
- Do
not let sit. Apply immediately to your hair after mixing. Section your
hair, put a towel around your shoulders, and apply Euro Oil to your
hairline and ears to prevent skin staining. Using gloved hands, apply
henna to clean, dry hair. (It can be applied to towel-dried hair but not
wet).
- Wrap hair with plastic wrap or put on a shower cap.
Optionally, put on a fabric cap over the plastic to trap body heat. The
key is to keep the paste moist and warm.
- Leave in your hair for only 1 hour. Do not leave it in overnight.
- Unwrap
your hair and rinse with water only. Use a drain catcher to prevent
possible clogging. Use Pearl Essence Creme Rinse or a few drops of Euro
Oil to aid in the henna rinsing process. The Morrocco Method Scalp
Massager may also help in removing the henna.
- For optimal results, repeat monthly.
Important Note About Chemical Dyes
Our
Light Blonde Henna Hair Color is 100% pure plant dye. There are no
chemicals, metallic salts, or PPD. Our henna hair color is the safest
form of hair dye you can use, and it even has healthy benefits for your
hair. You can safely use henna on previously chemically dyed hair, but
we suggest waiting 6-8 weeks after your last dye job to allow for detox.
But
if choose to continue with chemical dyes after applying henna, you'll
need to wait 6-8 weeks until it fades. It won't "burn" your hair, which
is a reaction to chemically-adulterated henna, but it can give you
unpredictable results. Plant dyes don't lift easily out of your hair,
leaving the end color unpredictable, and it fades faster because henna
makes your hair less porous.
Going lighter cannot be done with a
box dye, and the amount of developer you will need to lift the henna (in
Light Blonde, it is actually Cassia obovata) will damage your hair to
the point where it won't take dyes well. When dying your hair with henna
and indigo, it will only lift the henna, and not the indigo, giving you
green hair. The amount of chemicals you need to remove indigo from your
hair will make your hair too damaged to hold any dye at all. You can,
however, dye your hair the same color or darker.

FAQ's
Made
from the leaves, roots and stems of the Lawsonia plant, henna works its
magic without damaging, without drying and without chemically altering
the structure of the hair. To debunk any myths, perhaps the best way to
define henna is with three simple words that describe the results it
yields — sheen, body, color. Henna is, in many ways, the ideal colorant.
Chemically-based dyes often cause split ends and lifeless hair; henna
does not. Rather than permeating the hair, henna coats the hair shaft,
preventing brittleness and breakage. And, because it coats, it wears off
gradually over a period of approximately 8-12 weeks, eliminating the
dark-root problem you must contend with when using chemical tints.
MM
henna is pure henna. In order to achieve our variety of colors we use
other plant powers to color as well as different parts of the henna
plant itself. We have several different henna mixtures that are
available, ranging from Light Blonde, which includes marigold flower, to Black,
which includes indigo flower. We also offer three shades of brown by
using different parts of the root, bark, and leaf of the henna plant.
Yes!
Henna is the only way to safely color your hair without toxins that
won’t affect women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. There are NO
chemicals in MM Henna.
Yes!
But we suggest waiting 6-8 weeks since your last chemical treatment in
order to ensure there is no interference with the henna.
Yes!
There are two methods for covering gray hair with Brown (Light, Medium
or Dark) and Black MM henna and they both involve using Red Henna.
Red henna sticks to gray hair the best and is an important part of
covering grays without the color resulting in an orangey tone. Look
below for the link on both these methods. You can also cover grays with
our Light Blonde Henna
which turns your gray hair into a lovely, sun-streaked blonde. This is a
great option for people tired of chemical highlights and their gray
growth!

Sometimes
you can get a red tint to your hair color when using henna. In order to
achieve the deep, rich color you’re trying for, you may need to apply
the henna several times. Henna coats the hair follicle so more
applications help the henna to "stick" properly. Wait 24 hours between
applications and make sure it is done on dry hair. 2-3 applications
should give you the color you’re looking for. Are you experiencing this
due to your gray hair? See the question above.
Did you use the Red Henna
before applying the Brown or Black henna to your grays? It may seem
counter-intuitive to use red to remove this orange-y color but the red
helps your brown or black color to stick to the stubborn grays.

You
cannot fully remove henna but don’t worry — it will fade. In the
meantime, the best way to lift Henna color is with a homemade, overnight
oil treatment. The most effective treatment is mixture of oils
consisting of mostly olive oil, and coconut oil:
- Start
by creating the oil treatment. Mix enough oil so that you have an ample
amount to cover all of your hair, with a bit leftover for touching up.
- When
you have the right amount, apply the oil to your hair from root to tip.
When your entire head of hair is covered, we recommend that you leave
the oil treatment in overnight using a protective towel to cover your
pillow.
- In the morning, to remove the oil treatment, first
thoroughly saturate hair with an undiluted MM Shampoo and massage in
well. (Since oil and water don’t mix, wetting your hair first would
require more shampoo). Rinse. Shampoo normally.
This process
will cause the color to fade. Multiple applications may be necessary.
The number of applications varies from client to client depending on
individual hair type and color.

The Morrocco Method of hair, face and body care is unique as well
as comprehensive. It represents over forty years of research and
experimentation, integrating modern scientific knowledge with the
ancient healing arts of Ayurvedic and Chinese herbalism.
Anthony Morrocco has, for over 40 years, carefully studied and
practiced holistic hair care. His quest to find a naturally based
treatment for hair and scalp problems began with his apprenticeship at
world famous Kenneth's, a posh New York salon, where his clients
included Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Mrs. Vincent Astor, Mia Farrow, Lauren
Bacall, Joan Rivers, Faye Dunaway, Liza Minelli, and numerous other
celebrities.
For years, Anthony watched as the rich and famous walked into
Kenneth's with hair care problems and left with the same problems, only
covered up with styles, perms, blow drying, gels, mousses, bleaches and
chemicals. Anthony discovered that, regardless of the money spent on
traditional hair care, the problems just didn't go away. This
realization inspired Anthony to create a new system of hair and scalp
treatment that would have successful, long term results.
