Monat Renew Shampoo and Revive Conditioner
Monat is a hair health company that has been distributing hair care products through independent and online distributors since just 2014. They offer science-backed, nature-based formulas for the purest hair care experience. hair health. I found this new company accidentally by making a new friend through social media, a pioneer representative of Monat. She also started out as a consumer, a Monat VIP customer, who was looking for a superior shampoo.
When my Pure & Natural Dollar Tree shampoo and conditioner ran out, I knew I wanted to find a new natural and luxurious brand to complement my untreated hair. As a new mom you realize all the beauty treatments you lose after having children due to time, money and security. I have little time for manicures and pedicures, I don’t tan (naturally or artificially) and I try to keep all my household and personal care to a minimum with chemicals. I want to feel pretty!
I didn’t know what to expect when trying Monat for the first time. I did not do any prior research, I just wanted to feel the product for myself. As directed, I wash twice with Monat’s Renew Shampoo, once to remove residue and once to benefit from Monat’s formula. The smell was nice and rich, like grapefruit. Felt clean, if you can believe that. The shampoos I have used in the past feel like they are adding something to my hair, rather than taking it away and cleaning it. I felt like this shampoo had really cleaned my tresses without stripping or damaging them, the “squeaky” clean you are told to feel. After putting Monat Revive Conditioner on my hair, I was able to easily comb through and remove any loose hair with my shower comb, something I normally can’t do. The instructions directed me to leave the conditioner in for 10 minutes, so I shaved my legs and cleansed my body while it conditioned. The scent matched the Renew shampoo.
A great scent is a great moneymaker (like the way Aussie and Herbal Essences cash in), but that’s not enough for me. I need to know the ingredients, see and feel their superiority. I was very surprised by the results I found with just one Monat shampoo and conditioner. Remember Wen’s totally convincing infomercial? It was just like that! I air dried and styled my hair and without being over the top my hair was set and volumized just like it did the last time I bought a 20.00 hairstyle at Supercuts.
Now that it had proven to be special, I had to dig deeper to find out what made this product different from others available in the supermarket. Monat’s website provided comprehensive information on their ingredients and science, which I appreciated and found compelling. In short, Monat’s science explains how this product provides the ideal environment for hair growth, causing less hair loss and graying, and facilitating better growth. It mimics your body’s natural oils and protects your hair from environmental damage by the product’s ability to absorb negative UV rays, something I find especially appealing as a dessert dweller.
Based on my experience with it and considering its cost of almost 4.50 per ounce (10 times the cost of other “natural” brands), I recommend it to people looking for luxurious and safe hair treatments on natural, colored or vulnerable. Even using it sparingly, which you can easily do according to the reviews, will be worth its cost. The research I did on products of similar quality turned out almost the same.
