You know those friends you know you’ll be friends with for life, even when they move states? That’s how I feel about my friend Erin and her family. They moved to Idaho last year but every time I see her it’s like no time has passed.
Recently Erin started selling MONAT. I know, I know…*sales*. But honestly, this felt different to me because I knew Erin wouldn’t just jump into something that she didn’t truly believe in, that’s just the kind of person she is. So when she called me to ask if I wanted to try MONAT, free of charge, and share my honest opinion of the product, I was 100% on board! Not only could I support a friend, but I’d get to try a new product that was made with ingredients that were actually good for my hair…and NATural. 😉
If you haven’t heard of MONAT before, that’s ok, I had not heard of them either! MONAT = Modern + Natural, and is a company focused on blending the best of nature and science when it comes to hair care. If you pop on over to Erin’s page you can read more about them. 🙂 You can also follower her on Instagram – she posts some really insightful content!
Below is my honest experience with MONAT and some info on the products I used.
If after reading this post you’d like to give MONAT a try, you can contact Erin via Instagram, her site, or email/phone (info listed on her site)! Mention me or my blog and she’ll waive the $20 VIP sign up fee for you! Very cool, thanks Erin!
*This post is not sponsored and all opinions are my own. I was gifted the three part hair regiment by Erin in exchange for an honest review.*
First use:
As with most first washes with a new shampoo/conditioner regiment my hair felt amazing! More volume, soft, like I had been to the salon – this was no surprise to me because this is typically what happens to my hair after a first wash with a new shampoo.
Products:
I’m using MONAT BLACK shampoo + conditioner, then REVIVE shampoo, followed by REVITALIZE conditioner. Yep, you read that right. Two shampoos, and one conditioner. 🙂
After week one:
Now that I’m in the habit of washing my hair twice before conditioning, I’m liking the regiment a lot more! It took a while for me to get on board with the double washing, but now I understand why. My hair feels stronger. My post-Macey hair breaks constantly but now I’m finding less and less hair in my hairbrush after each brush – like my hair is now stronger. I’m also noticing an increase in hair thickness, it just feels healthy!
After week two:
I don’t think I can ever go back to another shampoo / conditioner now. Not only is my hair easier to brush (I’d fight with it for 15 minutes after every wash usually), but it’s SO soft! The only way I can honestly describe my hair after two weeks is happy hair. My hair is just happy. It’s always been pretty low maintenance, but it’s been amazing to see the difference after just a few weeks. I used to have to use a flat iron to control the baby hairs that would poke out from behind my ears. They’d be fried and unhealthy looking, but now my baby hairs blend right in to the rest of my hair and feel like they are starting to get back to their normal selves. I can’t explain it any better than that, just happy hair and healthy baby hairs. LOL!
The photos below (taken by Chelsea Macor Photography) were taken two weeks after I started using MONAT. I wish I had a better before picture to show you what my baby hairs looked like, but they look SO MUCH HEALTHIER in these photos! It’s one thing to think it’s working, but it’s another thing to see that it’s working. These photos are truly evidence to me that what I’m doing to my hair is making it happier.
The bottom line:
I love MONAT. There’s something about knowing the products you’re using are good for your hair and natural! It’s even better when it works…and not just well, but better than any of the other products I’ve tried. I’m truly not just saying this – I love using MONAT.
So again, if after reading this post you’d like to give MONAT a try, you can contact Erin via Instagram, her site, or email/phone (info listed on her site)! Mention me or my blog and she’ll waive the $20 VIP sign up fee for you! Very cool, thanks Erin!

I love Monat. I feel the same about the ReSults and the other plus is that i wash my hair less often. I now go 2-3 days easy between washes and being a blogger thats a big deal- i have to take pictures on those between days and my hair still looks fab! ❤️ Jamie
Becca says
Yesss, exactly!! I can go much longer now between washes, it’s amazing!
