Introduction

Your Crowning Glory, Naturally: Zen and the Art of Growing Luxurious Hair is

more than just a book about hair. It is a book about developing a balanced, holistic

lifestyle and a positive attitude using hair as the path to realizing both. The message is

that looking great and feeling great are mutually dependent. Follow the recommendations

in this book, use Morrocco Method International Five Elements Hair and Body Care

products, and not only will you have a luxurious head of hair, but you’ll feel great, too.

Antonio Morrocco, the founder and CEO of Morrocco Method International Five

Elements Hair Care and his new international school, “HairRevolution™”, knows the

hair care business better than almost anyone in the world. To prove this point, Your

Crowning Glory, Naturally, begins with Antonio sharing his journey. From a boy

inspired by nature and the magic of hair, through his world travels and his time at

Kenneth’s of New York, he becomes a world-renowned stylist and one of the foremost

hair colorists. His mysterious path even leads to becoming a “hair shaman.” He also

reveals tales of his encounters and successes with supermodels, the financial and political

elite, and movie stars.

Antonio’s knowledge and abilities to treat any hair and scalp condition are

legendary. In the days when he was actively treating clients, the rich and famous would

fly in from all parts of the world for hair thinning and loss consultations and treatments.

Clients such as Martin Sheen’s wife and daughter would travel to Antonio from Los

Angeles for years to consult and receive assistance. Clients would drive from Santa

Barbara, Montecito, Los Angeles, and as far down as San Diego to Anthony’s salon in

Laguna Beach. Clients would fly in from as far as Paris, England, Australia, Canada, and

Page 4: Zen Hairgrowing

all over the U.S. for a blunt-snip haircutting session. These elite clients would enjoy their

“mini vacations” at the Ritz Carlton and other premier locations in Laguna Beach, the

beautiful “Riviera of California.”

Antonio’s star-studded following led the media to seek him out in his own right.

He has been written about in People’s and In Style Magazines, featured on CBS prime

time news, and cited as having the only truly natural hair care product line by New York

Times bestselling author, Kevin Trudeau, in his Natural Cures and Natural Cures

Revealed bestsellers. Antonio has also written articles for numerous international

magazines and has several websites devoted to his products and knowledge.

Also featured on CBS 6pm Prime Time.

Now, beyond maintaining his successful hair care line and periodically doing

consultations, Antonio’s primary wish is to pass on his vast knowledge to others. Thus in

2009, he is opening his international school, HairRevolution, where he works hands on

teaching his methods and techniques to students of all levels. Students range from

experienced stylists to those with absolutely no hair-care knowledge. No matter the level

of familiarity, Antonio is eager to share and teach his one of a kind knowledge for the

first time, ever.

Testimonial:

“The Morrocco Method is perfect for the whole family and effective at any age. Having

had great success with the Morrocco Method Hair Care Products ourselves, my husband

and I decided to use the system on our son. He was born with wispy, fine hair, which was

growing very slowly. I gave him his first haircut at 20 months and followed the Morrocco

Method precisely, and now at 30 months, he has beautiful, thick, healthy hair. It's very

exciting to know he's off to such a fantastic beginning, and we're thrilled he will always

enjoy great hair.” - Cindy Carlin, Marina del Rey, Ca.

Chapter 1

My Evolution and the Birth of My HairRevolution

I can recall the first time my soul ever woke up. I was four years old, maybe even

just three years old—certainly long before I went to kindergarten.

On that day, I went down the street and across the road—I don’t know how I got

there all by myself—to a field that was very far from my house (at least from my three or

four year old perspective). In the middle of this field was a grassy mound. It wasn’t all

that big, but it was covered with grass, violets, and lilies of the valley, grasshoppers and

praying mantis crawling and hopping around. I walked up this mound and sat right in the

middle of it.

And, in that moment, I saw the whole universe.

It would be years before I could find the language to describe what I was

experiencing. But at that very young age, I was discovering that the ch’I, the vital life

force of the universe according to Chinese tradition, the energy that comes down to us

from the universe, does not touch the body, it touches the hair. I didn’t know then that we

have five types of hair on the body. The idea came to me that the grass and bushes were

the hair of nature. I could see their ch’I and the colored auras of the grass, with shades of

greens that were so vibrant and alive, the bushes, with brilliant greens coming up five and

ten feet beyond their branches, and flowers vibrating with colors I have never seen nor

imagined before. The violets were vibrant with intense shades of pulsing purples and

greens.

Page 7: Zen Hairgrowing

I witnessed the life force exuding out of the praying mantis and each grasshopper.

It was like an otherworldly experience. Whatever was happening with all of this energy, I

was beginning to formulate into my earliest understanding that the Ch’I was first

touching the plants’ leaves, then transforming itself into radiant colors, entering into the

branches and trunks, flowing down into the roots and the earth, and finally getting

grounded.

I remember feeling very calm, just sitting there for a very long time and feeling

like everything that existed in the universe was on that mound in that moment. This is my

adult explanation of what I was feeling at the time. And even this explanation pales

compared to how much I was feeling in those moments on that grassy mound. For me, it

was like heavenly Nirvana—feeling completely awake in my soul.

When I went home that day and for some time afterwards, when I was with my

parents, I would say things like, “Look at the color! Look at the energy coming out of

you.” And they would say things to me like “Stop that Antonio! You’re just dreaming.

You must stop that. You’re very naughty. You mustn’t say those things because people

don’t want to hear it. This is not real. This is your dream telling you these things.” So, I

shut down and repressed my new desire to tell people about their auras, about the energy

and colors coming out of their heads. Thus, I awoke, but shut all of this out of my

conscious mind soon after—all when I was just four years old.

Although I had this experience of the grass and plants being like hair, this was just

my own idea—no one else I knew or could talk to understood, or even wanted to hear

about it. Even though my brother, Raymond, who was eleven years older than me,

became a barber, it wasn’t because there was any history of anyone in my family being

Page 8: Zen Hairgrowing

interested in hair or barbering. I’m not sure what lead Raymond in that direction, but he

went to barbering school, mainly—I think—because he wanted a steady, reliable trade.

When I was about eight years old, I used to go down to his barber shop. I would

sweep the floor, clean the place up, and just listen to the guys—his customers—talking.

And I would tell them things like, “You know, I could grow your hair back for you.” I

meant it. And these guys, who were cool and would drive up in their ‘57 Chevys, would

pat me on my head and say, “That is okay, little boy, you certainly have some

imagination. My bald head just needs a rug [meaning hairpiece].”

My brother told me, “You mustn’t say that to people. They don’t want to hear

that. It’s not true and you must stop telling such stories.” So, once again, I was stopped

and got even more repressed.

No one in my family really got what I was about or what I was experiencing. My

family was good, old-fashioned Italian farming stock on both sides. My mother’s side of

the family came from Venice, and my father’s side was from Naples. My grandparents

immigrated to America during the First World War. Both of my parents were born and

raised in America, and they did everything they could to fit in. In my early years, we all

lived in my paternal grandparents’ three-story house in Bristol, Connecticut. My great-

uncle lived on the first floor, my father’s parents, Virgilio and Angelina, lived on the

second floor, and we lived on the third floor attic—just as we might have done in Italy.

My father became very successful in our little town of Bristol. There and in the

surrounding area, he owned four restaurants, two nightclubs, and a catering business

called Esquire Caterers. I was born and raised in the restaurant business, so naturally,

food, not hair, was our livelihood.

Page 9: Zen Hairgrowing

I felt most at home—not like a weird little kid—in my maternal grandmother’s

home. She was very, very spiritual. She had Buddhas, incense and candles burning all

over her very large home. She kept a monkey and a parrot as pets. My parents were very

strict, church-going Roman Catholics, and for Catholics, especially Roman Catholics,

Buddha statues were never seen in the home. But, for me, it was just pure magic going to

my Grandma Lena’s house. She had not one, but two green thumbs. The inside of her

house was like a jungle, with plants growing everywhere. Her outside gardens were

amazing— she grew all of her own fruits and vegetables, kept chickens and rabbits in her

back yard, and grew one of the most beautiful rose gardens I have ever seen, with a pond

right in the middle of it all, and frogs and flowering water lilies floating like magical

beings through all those lazy summer days.

People would bring their dying plants to her, and she would bring them back to

life. She was an unbelievable gardener; her gardens were like those in the village of

Findhorn and famous throughout the county. She could take an apple, a pear, and a

peach, put them all on the same tree and make them grow. She was also vegetarian,

something which was unheard of in those days, and my father especially, being in the

restaurant business, couldn’t believe that anyone could be that way.

All this said, Grandmother Lena had a very strong influence in my life. She was a

“far out” lady who touched me at the very depth of my soul throughout my upbringing.

She silently nourished my wonderment and connection to the plant world that I had seen

on my little mound. I also think that it was thanks to her side of my family that I, too,

have two green thumbs.

… to be continued…

Chapter Two

Morrocco Method Henna Hair Coloring to Die For

Since the moment of my awakening at the tender age of three, colors have

fascinated me. When I say on my little mound, feeling like I was in the center of the

universe, I saw the green of green, the red or red. The colors shimmered and shone with

the very life and essence of the blades of grass and flower petals. Life was more than

vibrant and alive. It was colorful and breathtaking!

So when I look back, it makes complete sense that my passion for color would

weave itself into my destiny. Way back when I proclaimed I could re-grow hair in my

brother’s barbershop, I already knew, in the back of my mind, that I was born to work

with hair. But, the picture would have been incomplete without color. Thus I believe that

it was Providence that brought me to the side of Rosemary Sorentino. And, by my mid-

twenties, under Rosemary’s tutelage, I was one of the top five hair coloring artists in the

world.

Rosemary was the Michelangelo of the hairdressing world, a true alchemist who

did with color what no one else dreamed nor could even imagine was possible. She would

take hues and shades of several of the most noted hair color companies in the world, like

L’Oreal, Rue, Clairol, and Revlon, magically blend them and create a work of art on her

clients’ heads that rivaled the coloring masters of Europe. Using several different bowls,

Rosemary would mix her magic potions and create her masterpieces. Her technique was

to use a darker shade on the nape of the neck, a medium shade throughout the middle of

Page 11: Zen Hairgrowing

the head, and a lighter shade on the hairline. This created an incredible, natural effect that

no one would ever suspect was done in a salon. And voilá—a creation that previously

could only be accomplished by Mother Nature herself. When Rosemary worked her

magic, her clients’ hair became her canvas. And when she finished, a timeless, classic,

breathtaking masterpiece adorned the heads of the rich and famous. Goddesses of beauty

like Faye Dunaway, Nancy Sinatra, Mia Farrow, Jackie Kennedy, and so many more

traveled the world and exhibited Rosemary’s masterpieces at the most prized and

exclusive parties and celebrations.

Rosemary’s genius was first known to the world back in the 1940’s, when she

created the infamous “sunstreaking” effect. She called this technique “tortoise shell

streaks.” Rosemary managed to recreate the highlights that come after basking in the sun

of the Mediterranean Riviera’s world-famous beaches—giving her clients the natural,

pale golden streaks in their Crowning Glory that looked like they come from the hand of

Sun Goddess herself.

These tortoise shell streaks were copied by famous hair colorists around the

world, but none of them ever came close to the exquisite, regal beauty that Rosemary

attained. Today, the average hairdressers call these “sunstreaks,” and only achieve an

illusion of Rosemary’s mastery.

Rosemary reigned supreme as the number one colorist in the world for decades.

She started her career in Lilly Daché’s hat salon in New York. Lilly created hats for the

rich and famous, and to go under her masterpieces she needed hair that was superbly

coiffed. Rosemary and Kenneth, who had yet to make a name for himself, were her

“dynamic duo” to make magic under her hats. But as Rosemary and Kenneth’s fame

Page 12: Zen Hairgrowing

grew, Lilly’s acclaim as the go-to person for hats declined. Over time, people started

coming to Lilly’s salon to see Rosemary and Kenneth, the goddess and god of hair,

instead of Lilly.

Lilly had a horrid reputation as being a tyrant with her staff and employees,

including all of the employees at the salon up to Kenneth himself. With all the bad

treatment, harassment, and tension, working at the hat salon was stressful for Kenneth

and Rosemary. Lilly was always going off the handle at the smallest incident. Having had

enough, Kenneth and Rosemary planned a grand exodus from the salon. They set a

precise day and time for this and informed everyone else who worked at the salon.

This appointed day and time arrived, and it just so happened, as predicted, Lilly

was being her usual difficult self, yelling and making everyone around her miserable. At

the precise planned moment, Kenneth, Rosemary, and the entire staff at the salon took

their scissors, combs, hair brushes, and personal belongings, packed them neatly into

their little cases, and silently walked out. They left without a word, not a farewell, good-

bye, or great doing business with you.

And thus, Kenneth, Rosemary, and the entire staff walked into a new salon,

Kenneth’s Salon on the posh Upper East Side of Manhattan. With them came the elite

clientele who used to go to Lilly’s salon for haircuts and styling, which made it easy for

Kenneth to establish his hair palace.

Although she was famous in her own right, Rosemary always saw herself as part

of a team, but still gave Kenneth full credit for all of her work and stayed in the shadows

of Kenneth’s fame. Even when someone asked who did this or that beautiful creation on

some famous person’s crowning glory, she humbly said, “Kenneth.”

Page 13: Zen Hairgrowing

The fame of Kenneth and his salon was meteoric. Because he had an elite

following to start with, the number of rich and famous flocking to Kenneth’s and

Rosemary’s genius grew by leaps and bounds. The stories I could tell of my time with

Kenneth and Rosemary are too many to count, but two vignettes especially stand out.

In the sixties, Lucille Ball was the queen of television and the most famous

female American comedian. Few remember now that she began her career in burlesque.

She was a stunning woman whose crowning glory was a gorgeous, flaming red. Lucille’s

red locks were definitely part of her brand and image, and many tried to imitate it.

Knowing this, Lucille wanted to keep her shade unique and exclusive, and remain the

undisputed Queen of Red.

I Love Lucy was at the height of its popularity and Lucille needed a touch-up as

her red hair and shaping was getting dated. In the L.A. circles, all she heard was that

Kenneth was the only person to do this for her. After hearing nothing but “Lucy, you

must see Kenneth, he is the supreme master of hair, no one else even comes close,” she

made an appointment with the one and only Kenneth. But Kenneth did not make

appearances in L.A., nor anywhere else in those days. So like all the other starlets, Lucille

had to get revved up and fly cross-country to see him. She made the journey to New York

and was driven to Kenneth’s.

As she entered the salon, she stormed into the main entrance with her eyes

flashing and spinning around comically as only “I Love Lucy” could do, and she

bellowed out in a pleading voice, “WHERE IS GOD?” Of course, the entire salon fell

into fits of laughter at the sight.

Page 14: Zen Hairgrowing

Another mythic story I remember because it started a major trend in women’s

hairstyling for decades.

Rosemary was called to Martha’s Vineyard in Hyannis Port to do Jackie

Kennedy’s hair. John F. Kennedy didn’t approve of this; because the press was always

lurking around, he didn’t want hairdressers, make-up artists, or clothing designers coming

to their home and bringing reporters or photographers to get publicity for their work with

the Kennedy’s. He didn’t want people thinking they were extravagant or ostentatious, and

so he scolded her when she had people come to do special work. But Jackie, a lady of

fine taste who wished to look her best, had Rosemary come to the White House and to

their home in Hyannis Port for special coloring and hairdos.

On this particular occasion, Rosemary finished her coloring magic on Jackie and

did a quick set and comb out before Jackie had to jump on a private plane. As she

climbed the steps up to the plane’s doorway, the wind picked up her hair, lifted it and

filled it with air, creating a full-blown bouffant style. At that precise moment, her hair full

and truly crowning her head, eager photographers snapped pictures that soon graced

every front page of all the U.S. newspapers. Rosemary was standing nearby, and a

photographer saw her and asked, “Who did her hair?” In her modesty and loyalty to her

Prince of Hair, Rosemary said, “Mr. Kenneth of Kenneth’s Salon.”

The pictures that were in every newspaper in the world created a bouffant rage,

and soon every housewife in the country asked their hairdressers to copy “the look,” and

thus, the famous hairdo that launched hair styles for years to come was born.

My time with Rosemary was transformational. Her intensity and artistry

mesmerized me and I just tried to soak up all the knowledge she offered. I watched as she

Page 15: Zen Hairgrowing

again and again turned ugly ducklings into swans, always awed by her skill. She was the

grand mistress of color, and I shall remember and honor her genius, devotion, and

humility forever.

Despite Rosemary’s loyalty and devotion to Kenneth, the two geniuses sometimes

clashed, and their relationship was not without drama. I am not sure what finally led to

that fateful, emotional day when Rosemary and Kenneth had their final falling out, and

she walked out of the salon, never to return. But, it was a turning point for me and

another life-altering decision to make. When Rosemary had departed, Kenneth turned to

me and offered me the chance to run Kenneth’s coloring department–the number one

coloring job in the world. And he was offering it to me on a velvet pillow.

But, as you know from my story, I said, “No thanks.”

A mistake? Not at all. Regrets? None.

Working at Kenneth’s had put me in touch with a number of remarkable people

who beckoned me back to my visions and experiences of the natural world of my youth. I

am honored to call Dr. Cecilia Lu, Dr. Fung, and of course, my Brazilian lady friend my

teachers. They provided me with the first detailed information that made my visions and

experiences come to life. They expanded my horizons by revealing the methods and logic

of healers and shamans over the centuries. It was for me to take their knowledge and put

it to use in my chosen profession. The seeds of my HairRevolution and the Morrocco

Method were being planted.

Although Kenneth’s was the pinnacle of the hair world, it was a time when

technology, science, and going modern were fashionable. Going natural and organic

weren’t even serious considerations. Botanicals were to be synthesized and perfected in

Page 16: Zen Hairgrowing

labs. That was the way of the future. Unfortunately, unlike food, cosmetics are very

poorly regulated for their chemicals and possible toxic ingredients and effects. I don’t

think that there was any intention to harm anyone then, as the chemicals that cosmetic

companies were using were not studied or researched. No one took cosmetics all that

seriously or possibly even thought to consider that they may have harmful effects.

Today, the toxic effects of cosmetics, colors, and dyes are more widely known.

Years ago, I became very conscious of this in a dramatic and personal way. After leaving

Kenneth’s, I stayed in touch with Jackie Kennedy (later Jackie Onassis). When she died,

her son, John Jr., told me that the doctors said her brain tumor had been caused by the

coal tar in her hair dyes. At that time, this knowledge was shocking to me and the few

privileged enough to hear it. Now, the knowledge of the poisonous effects of such dyes is

commonplace in the hair industry. Yet even still, this industry, fueled by vanity and

greed, continues to make products with lethal chemicals and poisons that are toxic to both

in the short and long term. In my HairRevolution School, I provide budding stylists and

colorists a list of some of the toxic chemicals that are found in hair care products. Some

of the worst are found in hair dyes. Because none of Morrocco Method International

products contain any of these poisons, I will not bore you with this lengthy list of names,

but you can look them up yourself if you just look at the ingredients of virtually any

commercial hair product on the market.

In the strange and magical twists and turns of my life, my experiences at

Kenneth’s showed me two possible futures. One future was the modern way, the

synthetic way–and all the riches I could ever want that come from being the master

colorist of that world. The other was the world I was beckoned back to be remarkable

Page 17: Zen Hairgrowing

people in and around the mandala of Kenneth’s. It was a world of shamanic wisdom and

magic that whispered to me of the power and potential of our Crowning Glory: a natural,

organic, vibrant world of bountiful health and luxurious hair.

All it took was for Kenneth to ask the question: “Will you take over my hair

coloring department?” That one questions sent me into the most powerful out-of-body

experience I have ever had. And in that radiant state, I had the epiphany that I would

leave behind salons forever, go natural, and NEVER look back to chemicals.

But, my love for color has always remained. And that is why Morrocco Method

International is the foremost manufacturer of natural, raw, vegan, organic Henna hair

coloring products in the world.

Before We Get Carried Away….

Morrocco Methods International Henna products are the purest, most natural hair

coloring products in the world. But before we talk about how to use them and bring youth

and fie to your crowning glory, I want to say a word or two in praise of those who bear a

crowning glory of gray or white.

A lifetime of experience grants one the privilege of becoming an Elder. Grey,

silver, or white hair is a sign of a life spent learning, acquiring wisdom and achieving a

noble and respected position in the “tribe” of society.

With this said, if you wish to go back to a youthful or high-fashion style, please

do so with 100% plant-based products. This simple act could save your life!!

Testimonials:

“When I first looked to the Morrocco Method for help, my hair was so fried from being

continuously permed for so many years that it was very dry and brittle and, of course,

thinning. I thought it was not possible for me to have healthy, beautiful hair, but the

Morrocco Method really does contain special secrets. The herbal hair and scalp formulas

and the simple, natural instruction offered for working with one’s own hair has brought

my hair back to life. Now my hair is truly beautiful and I am constantly getting wonderful

compliments.” – Joan Hillerts, Los Angeles, Ca.

“After bleaching my hair for years, and then letting it go natural, all I get are

compliments and everyone wants to know what I’m doing to make my hair look so good.

This is the best my hair has ever looked – natural – great condition – silky – healthy – has

a lot of body. I am so amazed. It’s taken awhile to get to get to this stage of beauty and

compliments – worth every day of hair care. Through the daily use of the Morrocco

Method simple using 100% naturally shampooing techniques and conditioners I now look

and feel great. And I am so proud of what it has done to my hair.”

– JoAnn Brockman, Shreveport, La.

“Hair coloring and bleaching is like an addiction – you suffer withdrawals! Like an

alcoholic, drug addict. Get caught up in “society” advertisements that this part of you life

to make you more attractive and “acceptable”!: Belief Systems. Have to slowly change

for acceptance and tune into your true self. As we move into balance, our bodies can

begin to accept these changes of our true selves.

I recently saw a long time friend who I hadn’t seen in two years and since I began with

Anthony Morrocco’s natural hair care. He was amazed at the vitality, shine and style – it

had taken years off my looks. ‘I can’t believe how much younger you look. You look

vital, youthful, much younger, ten years younger. It was remarkable how your hair makes

you look more radiant, totally different.’ Since he last saw me two years ago. I can’t

Page 19: Zen Hairgrowing

believe it. Better, Healthier. Grow into your holistic approach and your therapy. It fits

your new business.” – Sharon Norton, Laguna

Chapter Three

Detoxification and Zen Detox Hair and Scalp Spa Therapy

As a hair shaman, I think that one of the greatest stories ever told about our

Crowning Glory and its magic, mystery, and power is the Biblical story of Samson.

Most theologians and philosophers would never realize this. They don’t see the

deeper meaning when the Bible says Samson’s hair was his link to the Divine and his

source of strength. But it is so obvious, shouting to us loud and clear! Of course, like all

such stories, there are layers upon layers of meaning and information. But the story of

Samson’s Crowning Glory is too important to be just brushed aside. If we keep it simple,

not only does the story of Samson tell us about our Crowning Glory, it also reveals one of

the most important features of what it takes to have perfect health and great looking hair:

detoxification.

According to the Bible, Samson’s Crowning Glory was gorgeous and very

masculine and powerful. And just like my vision of the grass on the mound of my youth,

not only was his Crowning Glory amazing to look at, it was also his source of universal

power, connecting him to the Divine. The Bible even says that because Samson was

special to God, no hair on his head had ever seen a razor. And through his hair, Samson

received the ch’I, the powerful energies of the universe though his crown chakra. These

energies transformed into his physical energy and great strength.

Page 21: Zen Hairgrowing

But sometimes we are just too good looking for our own good. We can get

careless and forget how the Five Elements in nature support our strength and connection

to the sublime and divine, and that we need to take special care for our gifts. And that is

what happened to Samson. In his vanity and pride, he didn’t fully appreciate what God

had given him. He became careless with his secret, the secret of his power—his

Crowning Glory. Enter Delilah.

The Bible gives Delilah a bad reputation. She was a temptress, a daughter of the

evil Philistines, the sworn enemy of the Israelites. Even her name means “weak.” She

was sent to tempt Samson, to render him powerless. And that is what she did. Even

though he mocked her and played hard to get, Delilah persisted. She spent time with

Samson and wooed him night after night. We can see a great interplay and flow between

the masculine and feminine powers as our hero and heroine become closer. Then, through

Samson’s hair, his crown chakra, Delilah is able to take control of her lover. Ultimately,

though, she only accomplished a betrayal of Samson and her inner self.

All shamans know that there are some secrets that should not be told. It’s not

because they want to be stingy or hold special power over others, but because some

secrets need to be passed on properly, to people who understand how to use them way

they were intended. In the wrong hands, such secrets can go off like nuclear bombs.

When I received my first shamanic teaching from my Brazilian friend at Kenneth’s, I was

sworn to secrecy. I have honored that promise to her to this very day.

Samson knew one of those secrets. Through his Crowning Glory, he had a special

connection to God and the Divine. But one night, to prove his love and loyalty to Delilah,

he gave away this precious secret.

Page 22: Zen Hairgrowing

The Bible says that Delilah was the cause of Samson’s downfall. But what made

Samson vulnerable to her charms and guile was his own pride, toxic emotions, and a

disregard for the magic and mystery of his Crowning Glory and the connection it forged

between him and God. During those nights with Delilah, he ate and drank until he was

delirious and out of control. He lost the magic, mystery, and power of what should have

been cherished and kept secret. Through his habits and attitudes, Samson became

disconnected and Delilah had no problem cutting off his Crowning Glory. Without it, he

lost his strength and became powerless.

But consider this: what if Delilah did Samson a favor? With his pride and toxic

emotions, he had become full of himself. If he was going to get back to his connection to

the divine, something had to give. Delilah actually did him the most amazing favor. By

shaving his head, she got rid of the history his hair had stored. She detoxified him—and

made him open and available for new divine energy to come in.

The Philistines made Samson a slave. He ate very little (like a fast) and did hard,

physical labor, so he sweated a lot. During this detox process, the Bible says that the

Philistines did not pay attention to one little detail of their captive. His Crowning Glory

started to grow back! With that new head of hair, and a mind and body freed of toxins,

Samson reconnected with the Divine. Slowly but surely, the new, non-toxic Samson, with

a new and cleansed Crowning Glory emerged—even more powerful than before.

Not only does the Bible give us the first great story of detoxification, it is also an

example of the first great revelation in Western stories of the importance of our Crowning

Glory. This appreciation remains alive in the hands of the masterful barbers I visited in

all of the small villages throughout Europe.

The Importance of Detoxification

In all holistic healing sciences on the planet, the NUMBER ONE key to good

health is DIET. Combined with exercise and proper full breathing, a healthy, vital diet

will keep us strong within our bodies and radiant without. These practices are also

natural, everyday ways to detoxify.

Additionally, we must consider our hygiene practices and the products we use on

our body, skin, and hair. Most of us may think that the skin and hair care products we use

are primarily for cleansing and moisturizing. However, we have to remember that our

hair and skin ingest nutrients—they eat also! Thus, if it is best for us to put high quality,

natural, organic foods inside our body, we should apply the same logic to the outside of

our body by using natural, wild-crafted, organic hair and skin care products.

Although we specialize in natural, wild crafted, organic, vegan hair and skin care

products are essential, remember one of the Spokes in the Wheel of the Morrocco

Method is a healthy, vibrant lifestyle fueled by the foods we ingest in our daily diet.

These foods are of the utmost importance. In fact, what we eat is primarily responsible

for the beauty of our Crowning Glory.

Eating More Water Foods

There are water foods and there are denser foods that contain little or no water at

all. Our body is 70% water—like our Planet Earth—and our lymph system actually has a

higher percentage of water than our blood: 80%. The food we eat should reflect similar

percentages. That is, a healthy diet is one that is 70 to 80 percent water in its solid to

liquid proportions. If we eat like this we will naturally detoxify. So, look at the proportion

Page 24: Zen Hairgrowing

between water versus solid content to get a good barometer of how you are detoxing in

your daily eating habits. If the percentages of water and water foods drop, and you eat

more foods that are solid and dense with lower water content, the less detoxing action

shall occur.

As our lymph system works to clean and detox our body of chemicals and toxins,

it only makes sense that foods with higher water content are necessary to aid in detoxing

wastes from one’s body. The key points to keep in mind are:

1. Eat a diet high in green vegetables and fruits. These have the most water and are

definitely the healthiest choice to detox and live a healthy lifestyle.

2. Drink plenty of liquids, including quality spring or purified (rather than tap)

water, natural fruit and vegetable juices, and herbal teas rich in antioxidants.

3. Never drink sodas or chemical-based drinks of any kind. They poison the system,

making your body sluggish and more toxic. Even worse than sugar-based drinks,

or the ones filled with artificial saccharin- or nutria-sweeteners and the “natural”

ones that are sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup. They won’t quench your

thirst and will instead make you gain weight.

4. Fish and poultry are OK in moderation.

5. Red meats are meant to be eaten in very moderate amounts. If you look around

the planet, you will notice that in areas where red meat is the dominant food, life

expectancy is shorter.

Page 25: Zen Hairgrowing

Exercise!

For our lymph system to do its job of detoxing most effectively, we need to

activate and cleanse it with exercise and movement. Unlike blood, which has our heart to

pump blood throughout our system, our lymph system has no such device. Hence, it is

through movement and exercise that we detox and eliminate toxins from the lymph

system. Generally, just a half hour of leisurely walking in the morning, after lunch, and in

the evening will do the job. If this is too much to start with, try once each day and

gradually build up to twice and hopefully three times each day to see maximum benefits.

Running and jogging are not recommended here and are not necessary for a good

detoxing program. Proper breath is our greatest source of strength and best ally for

detoxing our system. Keeping the breath nice and even during your walks will do the

trick. If you want to be more adventurous, try yoga, chi quong, martial arts, or any low-

impact aerobics exercise that does not leave you winded are all excellent for health on a

daily basis.

Throughout this book, I have shared with you some of the breathing exercises that

we at Morrocco Method International practice and recommend to our clients. Here, we

want to share with you the greatest breathing exercise you can do. It is quite basic and

simple.

The Breathing Exercise:

The formula is a ratio of 1 count breathing in, 4 counts for holding, and 2 counts

for breathing out. For example, you can breathe in for a count of 5, hold the breath for a

count of 20, and then breathe out for a count of 10. If this is done three times per day, this

Page 26: Zen Hairgrowing

exercise alone is scientifically proven to be the most beneficial and healthy detoxing

method known to man. So, when you wake up in the morning, sit up straight and breathe

in for a count that is comfortable for you to start—say 4 seconds. Then hold for 16

seconds, and breathe out for a count of 8 seconds. Mid-day or after work, repeat this

process. Finally, just before going to bed, repeat this simple breathing technique. Do this

exercise three times a day, and you’ll see the maximum detoxing results.

HairRevolution and Detoxing

With these factors in place, we return now to what we ingest through our skin and

hair. To elaborate more fully, anything that we apply to our skin and scalp will be

ingested through our pores, enter our blood stream, and travel throughout the entire body.

Our body and hair care products can, therefore, also aid in detoxing by not only adding

healthy nutrients for our body to ingest, but also by cleansing and keep our skin and hair

health so that they can also aid in the overall detox process. We guarantee that ALL of

our Morrocco Method International products do just that!

On the other hand, when you use hair and skin care products like shampoos,

styling gels, cosmetics, and deodorants that contain manufactured chemicals, or put your

hair through damaging chemical processes like dying, bleaching, perming, or

straightening, a huge amount of toxins settle into your glands over time. And when our

bodies can no longer naturally detox these chemicals, toxins, and wastes from our glands,

the build-up will lead to stagnation, putrification, and eventually life-threatening diseases,

as carcinogens and other toxic waste compromise your immune system and causes

collapses in health. Now that you know how important it is to detox and avoid toxic

Page 27: Zen Hairgrowing

chemicals as much as you can, I invite you to take a look at how Morrocco Method

International products work to keep your system cleansed and healthy.

Hair and Skin Products

In my HairRevolution, the purpose of using Morrocco Method shampoos and

conditioners based on the Five Elements is to aid the body in not ingesting the same

ingredient day in and day out. If you use the same shampoo for years, your body will

develop an immune reaction to it and compromise your ability to detox properly. This is

why I recommend alternating shampoos that have botanicals associated with Fire, Earth,

Air, Water and Chi or Ether elements. The constant change allows the body to ingest the

healthy nutrients of the Five Elements while also being cleansed. The more we aid our

detoxing system, instead of taxing it, the more we create natural, healthy ways to

eliminate toxins.

Zen Detox — A Deeper Way to Detoxify Your Crowning Glory

Detoxing as described above is a normal, healthy, every day way in which your

body casts off what it cannot use or does not need. But depending how far down the road

you have gone eating poorly and using toxic body and hair products, a switch over to

healthier habits and products might not be enough to do the job alone. You’ll need to go a

bit deeper and amp up your detoxing efforts with a more rigorous and powerful detox

plan. As one of my passions is Ayurveda, I would like to further explain these points

from an Ayurvedic point of view.

Page 28: Zen Hairgrowing

Experts in the deep healing tradition of Tibetan Ayurveda, explains that there are

four levels of healing in this powerful version of traditional Ayurveda. These levels have

to do with greater and lesser levels of how to address any physical, mental, or emotional

condition we face. Just like I have outlined above, The first and most important level of

treatment has to do with lifestyle changes: proper diet, exercise, relaxation, and hygiene.

If we make the effort to live a lifestyle based on the five elements, 95% of all of our

problems would just go away! It’s as simple and easy as that.

So for our hair, the proper nutrition we ingest, the proper products we cleanse it

with, and the various “exercise” we give it and our scalp by massaging and brushing can

do quite a lot to return our Crowning Glory to its natural, vibrant, luxurious state.

Conversely, if we eat processed and toxic foods, and lather all kinds of poisonous

chemicals onto our heads, why wouldn’t we expect our hair to thin, frizz, develop split

ends, and look dull and lifeless?

When these conditions occur, returning to proper diet and using all-natural,

organic hair care products daily won’t work alone. Years of abuse have taken their toll.

We cannot expect quick or overnight results. This is where a deeper level of

detoxification, the second level Tibetan Ayurvedic healing comes in. And this more

rigorous detoxification is the deeper work that is needed in our HairRevolution if we are

to ever regain the vibrant, lustrous head of hair and scalp we all can achieve.

There are a number of books on nutrition that will convince you to change your

diet in the direction I suggest at the start of this chapter. My suggestion is that you look

on books that espouse a more vegan or vegetarian diet. Seek out books on raw food,

Page 29: Zen Hairgrowing

Macrobiotic, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diets and Ayurveda. All of these

systems have daily nourishment and detox programs when it comes to your eating habits.

Chapter Five The Morrocco Method

Good nutrition comes as second nature to most people these days. Shoppers

concerned about their health look for natural ingredients in products. Organic vitamin and

mineral supplements line health food store shelves, and gym memberships are on the rise.

People know that it not only takes quality nutrition and exercise to be in tip-top shape,

but that there needs to be a total and dedicated effort to becoming and staying in great

shape; a holistic approach. Feeling good is equivalent to looking good. But oftentimes the

area that people overlook when it comes to using natural products is the one part of the

body that is always on display: our Crowning Glory – our hair.

In most professional hair salons, you'll find that stylists are using anything but

natural, organic, or wholesome ingredients. Chemicals are applied to straighten hair,

lighten hair, darken it, and wave it. Hairdressers wear gloves to protect themselves from

the harsh ingredients in hair products when working on their clients. Over a period of

time, these harsh treatments leave hair stripped of vital nutrients, leaving it looking

lifeless, dry, and unhealthy. Eventually, the same effects will be seen on the client! How

could it be otherwise with such toxic chemicals oozing into their scalp, so close to their

brain?

As you learned in my story, it wasn't always this way. For centuries, before the

advent of modern hair care as we know it, only natural products were part of the hair care

regimen. In fact, a total holistic approach was the norm as village barbers and the tribal

Indians in South America cut hair according to the phases of the moon. I witnessed this in

Page 31: Zen Hairgrowing

my three Brazilian clients who all had the most incredible hair. Treating them awakened

me to my earlier sensibilities; they inspired me to travel and study natural methods for

over forty years and conduct intensive research into Chinese medicine, Ayurveda,

homeopathy, and acquire the most current and up-to-date scientific knowledge on hair

care courtesy of my time at Kenneth’s. Thus, my HairRevolution was born into the

marketplace of fine hair care, The Morrocco Method, and is promoted almost exclusively

on the internet at www.5elementshaircare.com.

I contend that the most beautiful thing in the world is a head of luxurious natural

hair – devoid of any additives. But to accomplish this – to truly create a beautiful and

vital head of hair – we need to abandon our mass-market consumer mentality replete with

chemicals, additives, and a host of other poisons, and adopt a balanced and effective

system of natural hair care for both the maintenance and rejuvenation of hair and scalp.

We need an approach that respects and supports the 5 Elements Hair Care which utilizes

knowledge of the Five Elements of the Orient and the time test knowledge of cutting and

caring for one’s hair based on the phases of the moon.

This is precisely what Morrocco Method International Products and my

HairRevolution offer. Over the years I have been able to prove to thousands of people

that a five-element approach to hair care, replete with cutting and grooming techniques,

and the use of all of our exceptional raw, wild crafted, organic, and vegan hair care

products will result in thicker, more lustrous hair. Morrocco Method International

products prove that it is possible to combine modern scientific knowledge with ancient

wisdom to come up with pure shampoos and conditioners that only contain nature's most

potent minerals and organically grown plants and herbs. Furthermore, our products are

Page 32: Zen Hairgrowing

not only free of long term side effects, but they are also hypoallergenic for even the most

sensitive individual.

In taking such a stance, by using ancient and modern sensibility as the backbone

of Morrocco Method International and my HairRevolution, I want the reader to

understand that I view holistic hair care as an integral piece of the holistic pie along with

good diet, exercise, and positive attitude, habits, and rituals. The five types of hair on our

body matter – more than you think! And our Crowning Glory, the hair on our head, is

very subtle, but powerful. It is a key ingredient for our body’s health and growth.

It is my goal to show you why holistic hair care is important and how to achieve

natural, luxurious hair. For beyond our hair and scalp, HairRevolution is about mind and

spirit.

Testimonials:

hair! I know it’s because of my using Morrocco Method shampoos and conditioners. No

hair loss and still looking great! My hair was so thin and now it's so thick. I'm convinced

it's Morrocco Method shampoo! Thank you!” - Gloria Hahne, Phoenix

Chapter Six

Spokes in The Wheel: Total Vitality and Great Hair

Our entire universe is pulsing with vital energy—with ch’I. when our whole body

and mind are tuned and opened to this ch’I, we can feel a tingling from the tips of our

toes to the top of our head. In those moments, we can feel our hair standing on end. In

fact, some traditions use the metaphor of people being so alive and inspired that their hair

is on fire!

Just as this ch’I comes into the leaves of a plant and then courses through into the

branches, down the trunk, and into the roots, this vital energy comes down from the

ethers and enters our body through the five different types of hair on our body. First and

foremost, it enters through our crown chakra, stimulating our brain and highest

sensitivities, and then makes its way through to the coarser levels of our body and mind.

To understand how the ch’I gives us energy, it’s important to understand the five

different types of hair we have and what they do:

Hair on our Heads

This is our crown chakra. The hair here is the most sensitive, the most receptive to ch’I,

and it produces the most energy and heat.

Eyelashes and Eyebrows

The energies in this hair are very subtle and linked to intuitions, feelings, and emotions.

Page 34: Zen Hairgrowing

Facial Hair and Beards

Just like men don’t start growing facial hair until they mature, the energies here are

associated with maturity. They are fine and subtle, and we learn to truly understand them

with growth and experience. Women grow facial hair when they achieve Elderhood.

Body Hair

Like the grass and coverings of the Earth, the energies in our body hair are massive. They

cover large, broad areas of our understanding of the world. Think about when your hair

stands on end—this is a phenomenon that raises your energy and heightens your senses in

a “fight or flight” response.

Pubic Hair

This is where you’ll find youre most magical and in-tune energies. They translate coarse

energy into those rare, spiritual feelings and experiences and make us feel connected to

the Universe!

Thus, I as I have said earlier, the hair on your head, Your Crowning Glory, is

more than just a covering for your head and brain. I can’t stress enough how important it

is to fully appreciate this. Like millions of antennae, your hair picks up the subtle life

force energy, the ch’I, from the universe. It is the first place where the ch’I touches our

physical body.

Page 35: Zen Hairgrowing

If our hair is kept clean and in good condition, the better the signal and quality of

vibration our hair can pick up. This means we feel better overall, with energy stimulating

our minds and bodies. Think of animals in nature, after they have bathed or cleaned the

hair or fur. They shake themselves off. Sometimes they even dance. They feel and act

more alive. Think of how invigorating it can feel when the wind whistles through your

clean hair. Conversely, think of a “bad hair day”—beyond not looking the way you want.

Haven’t you noticed that you feel out of sorts—maybe even disconnected or

distracted from the world around you?

So, what can we do on a day-to-day basis to give our hair the look, feel, and

capacity to do its part in supporting our connection to the universe, our joys, our passions,

even our purpose?

In this chapter, I want to give you an outline of all the points of great hair care

that I shall elaborate on in the following chapters. I call these the “Spokes in The Wheel.”

Listing them in the order we may normally think about our hair, these spokes are:

1. Haircutting, Shaping, and Natural Styling Techniques

It is important to follow our unique Lunar Cycle haircutting chart, which tells you the

best days each month to cut your hair to see your desired results, as there are five

techniques that can be applied when cutting hair. There are optimal days each month for

each technique. (You can find the chart, along with many great resources, on our website

at www.5elementshaircare.com.)

Page 36: Zen Hairgrowing

2. Products

Choose 100% natural, organic and wild-crafted shampoos, conditioners, plant-based MM

henna Natural Hair colorings, and other Morrocco Method International products that are

produced according to Fair Trade guidelines.

3. Proper brushing rituals

Use Morrocco Method International black or blonde boar bristle brushes (according to

your hair type, not color!) and scalp massage using our natural rubber scalp massager.

4. Diet

Eat a vital, healthy diet. Like our skin, hair is pure protein, and like a poor diet can show

in your skin, it is also reflected in your hair. Live, vital food creates live, vital hair. Dead,

overly processed food creates dead, listless hair.

5. Regular exercise

I won’t discuss exercise too much in this book, as you probably already know how

important regular exercise is for good overall health. Any exercise that stimulates the

blood and lymph systems is excellent, such as walking, yoga, chi-gong, or tai-chi. Simply

going for a 30 minute walk daily or joining an exercise class is also good. Find an activity

Page 37: Zen Hairgrowing

you’ll enjoy doing each day for a minimum of thirty minutes. If done with a positive

attitude, just this amount can be quite beneficial. If you want and are able to do more, go

ahead, but if you start stressing about time or push yourself into too much discomfort,

then it’s more likely you’ll exercise only occasionally.

When you follow the Morrocco Method, you’ll cut your hair according to the

lunar cycle every few months, but you’ll use our products, brush your hair, eat, and

(hopefully) exercise every day. Healthy, vital hair depends on a healthy, vital lifestyle.

The Morrocco Method absolutely relies on you paying attention on a day-to-day basis of

what you eat, your activity level, and what you choose to put on your body and hair. As

we are all creatures of habit, it's best to set good daily habits and make them automatic.

Some of the suggestions in this book may seem difficult at first, but that’s likely because

you’re trying to replace your old routine and habits. Be diligent and they will get easier—

and your hair will respond. And, I can assure you, anyone who cuts, styles, and colors

hair for a profession appreciates clients who take care of themselves. Clients with a

healthy lifestyle have healthy vital hair that responds beautifully. Clients that eat a dead

diet, don’t exercise, and use commercial, toxic, chemical gunk on their hair are harder to

create good results for

—and they tend to have all sorts of issues that we stylists and colorists then have to listen

to.

Which brings us to the final spoke in the wheel…

6. A positive attitude

This is the last, but probably most important spoke. I will mention this more later

and throughout the book. But in a nutshell, stop wasting energy on past history, including

Page 38: Zen Hairgrowing

any past hair problems. You’ll find that having a positive attitude makes it easier to adopt

the habit of a healthy lifestyle—and then, your health and vitality makes it easier to have

a positive attitude! Be very positive and direct in the here and now. Life is possibility.

If you want to see change in your life and change in your hair, start with a positive

attitude, one that looks to possibility. Visualize the end result, that what you want has

already taken place. It’s happening here and now and you are living a life that is radiant

and happy. You are living your passion, your bliss, and you are excited to wake up and

get out of bed every morning. And, your luxurious hair is thicker, more beautiful, and

more radiant than you can even imagine. It truly is Your Crowning Glory, Naturally!

The “Spokes in the Wheel” of my Morrocco Method come from a hair care

lineage that is thousands of years old. The methods that people all over the world have

used and followed for thousands of years are still just as effective today. As you read this

book and start applying the spoke to your life, you’ll see how each one contributes not

only to healthy, luxurious hair, but also to a healthier, more vibrant lifestyle.

That said; let’s go through the Spokes of the Wheel step-by-step, so you’ll see

what hair care products you’ll want to use daily, and the habits and rituals that will make

Your Crowning Glory healthy and luxurious, naturally!

Testimonials:

“I was so depressed because life was going all downhill with my hair. My hair was

thinning; I would wake up in the morning and find more and more hair on my pillow

every morning, not to mention in the shower. I didn’t believe anything could really help

Page 39: Zen Hairgrowing

me and I was fearful that I would one day soon be forced to wear a wig. I was skeptical

when I was first told about the Morrocco Method, but what an incredible transformation I

have experienced since then. My hair is now healthy and vibrant and my life feels full

and worthwhile again. I never realized the power of beautiful healthy hair and what a

change it can make in your life.” – Cindy Gregory

“When I first heard of the Morrocco Method, I was skeptical. But what intrigued me was

the idea that our hair is alive, just as the trees and grass and all of nature. As we are part

of this unit of all life, just as our hair and its growth are governed by these laws. So I tried

it. Within two months I saw new growth. The quality and texture of my hair improved

greatly. My hair ceased to fall out. I t has now been ten months and people are even

saying, “You got more hair! What are you doing?” So I tell them about the Morrocco

Method hair care products and its truly natural approach to hair thinning. It’s just another

piece of knowledge and wisdom lost to us. We are part of the whole and our hair is under

cycles like everything else. So, go for it and you won’t be disappointed. I wasn’t and

there’s a lot more where that came from.” – John P. Ryan, Los Angeles, Ca.

Chapter Eight

Customizing your Hair Cuts Using Morrocco Method Lunar Chart

People from Old World countries whose cultures are rooted in the natural cycles

of the moon and the seasons are astonished at our habit of having our hair cut without

aligning the appointment to the natural cycles of the moon.

To them, having our hair cut when the moon is not in favor for lunar haircutting

is like planting a seed in the winter and expecting it to grow. Winter is a time of

dormancy; it is not a season that is supportive of growth. The ideal season for planting is

spring, and as our ancestors’ learned over the centuries; planting on the moon cycles

optimizes the growth of plants dramatically.

These principles not only apply to planting on the earth; they apply to the human

body as well. Our body is a microcosm of the earth. Like the various vegetation of earth

-- algae, seaweed, plants, flowers and trees – our body has a similar vegetation of hair:

there is our pubic hair, our facial hair, our eye brow and eyelash hair, our torso and

appendage hair, and, of course, the hair on our "Crowning Glory." And like the earth,

our body is composed of more than eighty percent water as well, and is influenced by the

moon as powerfully as the seas.

Just as there is an “ideal” time to plant, pull weeds, reap, and put energy back into

the soil through compost, there is an ideal time to cut or harvest our hair. Aligning our

hair cuts to the ebbs and flows of Lunar Cycle astrology has a very powerful effect on the

growth and maintenance of our hair.

Page 41: Zen Hairgrowing

According to the ancient wisdom of Shamans who consider hair a sacred part of

our body, there are 5 elements each month that are ideal for cutting hair. Within those 5

elements there are times that will enhance different aspects of hair growth, such as its

strength, its thickness, its length, the strengthening of its roots and its general

beautification -- provided that it is cut on the appropriate days. To have our hair cut on

the remaining, inauspicious days of that month would actually retard the growth of our

hair.

Knowing when the retardation period of hair growth is occurring can be a useful

tool for our hair care as well. “Harvesting” unwanted hair at this time is ideal. It would

slow down its re-growth, making it a perfect time to pluck your eyebrows and shave your

legs. The hair will grow back more slowly, if at all. To a certain extent, then, the old

wives’ tale is true: when the moon is waning, wax the hair you are trying to get rid of.

Clearly, having your hair cut using the 13 moon Lunar Cycle of the Earth can

provide you with an excellent tool for the ultimate in natural, holistic hair care. Using the

wisdom of the Shamans, enhanced by the knowledge of modern science and over 40

years of personal research and experience, Anthony Morrocco, the founder of Morrocco

Hair-care International has created an excellent system of Lunar Hair-Care Astrology that

can accommodate the needs and uniqueness for Strengthening, Thickening, Lengthening,

Root Work and Beautifying!

If you are experiencing hair thinning and loss, for example, he can tell you the

specific days of each month when cutting your hair will strengthen and thicken it and

stimulate the roots and follicles into greater activity during the growth cycle of your hair.

Page 42: Zen Hairgrowing

If you wish to improve the general health of your hair, Mr. Morrocco will

establish the days that have maximum astrological power for your hair based on using

one of the 5 Elements that he shares freely on www.MorroccoMethod.com website or

www.5elementshaircare.com

He will then advise you to work on a particular facet of your hair every month.

During the first month if experiencing hair loss or thinning, for example, you can have

your hair cut at a time that will strengthen your hair. During the second month, you can

have it cut at a time that will stimulate the thickening of your hair. During the third

month you can have it cut to stimulate the follicles and hair roots.

If a person wishes to simply grow longer hair then one would alternate

lengthening and root work, one each month. Or only to thicken hair one would alternate

thickening one month and root work the next month. Or if simply interested in its

general beautification thus making ones hair wavy and more manageable then one would

alternate with Beautifying and root work. Morrocco Method Int'l chart will be done with

that specific purpose in mind. Numerous combinations are possible; depending on

individual needs wants and desires. You can work on beautification alone to enhance

your growth cycle and make your hair more wavy and manageable and more naturally

conditioned.

The 13 moon Lunar Cycle occurs every month, creating 5 choices each and every

month depending on your goals to lengthen, thicken, strength, root work and beautifying..

It is the position of the sun and moon along with other factors arrived at through secret

Shamanic formulas passed down through the ages that determine the optimum days to

have your hair cut.

Page 43: Zen Hairgrowing

Contrary to general belief, the full moon is not always the most powerful time to

cut your hair. Having it cut on the full moon can often be harmful and destructive to your

hair. On the other hand there may be times when cutting your hair during the waning of

the moon can be surprisingly beneficial. As long as you base your appointment set on

the particular element Chart, you will stay aligned to your astrological power and

enhance your hair every time.

If for some reason you cannot have your hair cut on the optimum day

recommended there are two other days are given as alternates. Although the optimum

day would be 100% effective, the second day would still be 95% effective, the third day

85 to 90%. As long as you align your appointments to the element of your choosing each

Lunar Haircut, and avoid cutting your hair during the periods of retardation, you will be

enhancing the natural growth of your hair. Timing is everything. Aligning yourself to

the astrological powers and synchronizing your appointments to the prevailing planets

and stars, will yield surprisingly results in as little as ninety days, or even less.

Testimonials:

Morrocco Method has helped me revitalize my scalp and now I am enjoying a

magnificent full-bodied head of hair.” - Sybil, Fountain Valley, Ca.

problems. It was thinning and looked extremely unhealthy. This system is amazing. My

hair is now thicker than it was then, and is continuing to get thicker, and actually looks

alive. My whole perception of myself is so much more positive it's astounding. And the

best part is it's so easy to do.” - Lesley Schiedow, Huntington Beach, Ca

Testimonials:

“I have been using your products for a while, and quite thankful I found them. Morrocco

Method products are wheat and gluten free. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac, and I

think it is a testament to your product that I still have hair and new hair growing. I figure

it can only get better now. My original reason for using your products is because they are

healthy and natural. I would be happy to post about your products on Celiac boards

because people have a hard time finding hair products that do not contain wheat. They

will get the added bonus of not adding chemicals to their bodies...” - Christine Mildrum

“It has been a year now from using the Morrocco Method hair care products. And I have

a really beautiful head of hair! The quality, texture, and quantity are all improved! These

products are worth every dollar spent. I have never been so happy with my hair before.”

- Mary Daniels, New York City
