WHY I’M QUITTING MONAT AFTER 8 MONTHS | UPDATED PROS AND CONS

❥ Hey guys!!! This video turned out to be very lonnggg. Like over 35 minutes long. Sooo, I decided to split the video up into two parts. This video is going to be the pros and cons that I've experienced with Monat over the last 8 months. I already did a pro and con video when I did my 90 day trail run. My opinions have changed a lot since then, so I hope you guys enjoy this video. It has been a serious hair journey for me using these products. I put a lot of money, hardwork, and faith into Monat but in the end....Detox is the #1 reason why I'm quitting. I will explain more in my Monat Q&A Part 2 video. I'll have that video up in a few days.

Pros:
1) Hair is very shiny!!!! & “looks healthy”
2) Hair is soft - on good hair days
3) Love the Revitalize conditioner !!! - product goes a long way
4) Love the Rejuvanique oil !!! -best hair oil I've ever used

Kinda Pros:
1) It holds color okay. It would probably hold even better if I didn’t have to wash as often.
2) Hair growth is present but noticed it isn’t as prevalent like first few months.

Cons:
1) Detox is still present after 8 months!!!!!
2) Hair is falling out, again. “Shedding”
3) Hair gets tangled easier, experiencing a lot of knots
4) Monat shampoo doesn’t work well with ANY other products
5) Have to shampoo 3 or 4 times, even scrubbing the scalp to get somewhat of a clean hair result
6) Expensive
7) Inconsistent results. One day hair is great then two days later hair feels worse
8) Can not go a couple days without washing hair because of greasy scalp
9) Hair would sometimes feel very dry. Which is odd because scalp is greasy but ends are dry.

Total of 9 Monat orders placed since February 2017
Total money spent on Monat: $378.18

See you on the next one.❤︎

I love you guys 💞Thank you for watching!!!

❤️Love, Destinee❤️

I'm a cosmetologist so I'd like to think I know a little bit about hair. Your hair does not need to "detox". It's dead, it's not alive, it doesnt create anything that would need to be detoxified from it. It's made of protein called keratin. If, let's say, you have a build up of product, which can happen when using cheap shampoos that have silicone in them or lots of styling products, you can do a clarifying treatment, thats one (count, one) treatment done maybe once or twice a month. This shampoo and conditioner are what we call "thickening" products. They have certain ingredients in them that make your hair feel thicker and look nicer, but they are actually extremely drying to your hair (the dryer the hair, the more volume it has) and it can cause your scalp to over-produce oils to compensate for the drying aspect of the shampoo. Hence why you have dry ends and a greasy scalp. These thickening agents do nothing to actually help your hair get healthier, in fact, I argue they make your hair more damaged, as they purposely rough up your cuticle, making your hair more prone to breakage. The "shedding" and tangling youre experiencing is your hair breaking off from being brittle and dry. For some people this happens half way down the hair shaft, others it can happen at the root and leave a bald spot. I would *never* reccomend using a thickening shampoo or product everyday, it's something you use on occasion, or you cycle it with a normal shampoo. Monat is using peoples ignorance about hair and hair products to steal money out of their wallets.

I’m just sick of girls hopping in my inbox trying to sell me monat lol

[melylizet]

she keeps saying negative things everytime she's mentioning the pros, that proves there's really not much pros in my opinion

[torihernandez]

"Detox" your body's reaction to products it doesn't agree with.

[destineeirons]

To anyone who is offended by me calling these products crap, I'm sorry. I'm not bashing Monat, I really wanted to love it. Sadly it's just not for me. It's my opinion and how I feel. I went through 8 long months of extremely greasy, tangled, dry, dull... "detoxing" hair, if you were in my shoes I'm sure you would be frustrated too. Thanks for understanding <3

Update 2021: I wanted to let you guys know since the filming of this video I have never purchased any Monat products ever again. I used up the rest of the oil and actually threw the conditioner away after a while because I stopped using it. Yes I stated I “loved” those products in the video, however I do not feel that way anymore and I no longer support any Monat products.

[myanicole]

I’ve never heard a stylist recommend Monat. In fact every stylist I’ve asked has told me to stay far away from it. As soon as you stop using it your hair will fall out.

[vickieharrington]

After being a market partner with this company, I can tell y'all she is right!!! These products do not live up to the hype. Your hair will fall out, it will strip your color, it will dry your hair out and all Monat reps will ever tell you is that it's detox. No matter what the problem is, it's detox. And they use their 30 day money back guarantee as a selling point and the fact that their product return rate is like 1%. I CAN TELL YOU 1) it takes 30 days to get through to customer service (okay not literally, but it is almost impossible to get through) and 2) if you do try to return the products, you're told it's s 90 day system so of course you're not getting desired results in 30 days.

Hello! This post was from a long time ago but I came across it last night and thank you so much for posting this out here for people. I have been doing Monat for a little over 5 months and last night after watching this I decided to stop Monat. After months of a greasy feeling/looking scalp and countless messages to others trying to figure out why and what to do..I just couldn't do it anymore! This morning I went back to using regular Pantene shampoo/conditioner and the before and after pictures/results are insane! My hair feels incredible today! No grease and honestly my hair feels Fuller! I do also believe that it was making my hair fall out around my scalp area as well. But I wanted to tell you that you are NOT a special case! ALL of your cons we're exactly what I have been going through! And I tried so many different systems to help improve my greasy looking/feeling hair and nothing worked. And don't get me started on how long you have to rinse and scrub your head just for it to look dirty. Thanks again!

[racheldurling]

Thank you for making this video. Some girl in my program has been posting about monat for the past couple months and it's just been really hard to watch. It always seemed sketchy. When I started researching more and more and found this video it really open my eyes. I don't know how someone could sleep at night scamming people.

[meaganblair]

I am so glad you posted this, I have had the same problems. My daughter has had amazing results. I have been in detox for 7 months with small bouts of okay hair. I finally called it.

[juliaSchum]

you hair looks amazing. im black latino. and monat really works for me. also my skin after 10 years trying everything proative sephora products nothing works. but monat did int in less than 4 month im amaze finally able to go out on the street without make up. i gave my proactive product to my ex hubby and it works so great for him i was jealous on that time. we all are different every products doesn't work in every person. dollar tree products works great on some people, everything depend how sensitive is your skin. its like when people work out some take time to lose 5 LB and some can lose them really quick, .

[piperly]

I just got done using Monat for 2 months and this was my exact experience!!! My scalp has not been the same! The dry shampoo is awful! And washing my hair every other day is not ideal!!!

[veronicaann]

Thank you for this video!! I'm about to post a video as well on monat...so far I love it but girl the Detox is killing me!! My scalp is so flaky and going on 3 months... whyyyy? Lol

[angelakutusheva]

I’ve been using garnier sleek and shine line without parabens for 2 years. I drink lots of water, take supplements, work out and watch my diet. My hair doesn’t shed, its very soft and shiny even with occasional color and heat treatments. My point is, I treat my hair first from within and use pretty minimalistic routine. Any time I try these “amazing for hair” products, my hair goes haywire 🤷🏻‍♀️

[LindseyMedici]

I had the worst detox and I have really oily hair. I used to have to wash my hair every other day, now I can go 3-4 days without washing. It’s amazing and a time saver.

Your market partner should have recommended that you try using either the black shampoo or the intense repair shampoo to speed up the detox process. You should have also been doing regular scalp treatments. I know it sounds weird because you and I both have oily hair, but it works. Adding oil helps moisturize your scalp. You wash it out, and it feels amazing.

As you use it, your hair tends to change also. Several months after finishing detox, my hair seemed to change. So I switched up my products.

Compared to salon products, it’s really not all that expensive for how much you get.

My hair is so much fuller and I have so much more volume. I can see the baby hairs growing in.

And the dry shampoo is a definite favorite. It gives my hair so much volume.

[nocreativename]

The best part of getting my hair done is the wash. It’s so relaxing! Especially when they scrub your scalp 😌

[samanthalowe]

There is currently a class action lawsuit with 18+ plaintiffs against Monat. Monat filed a motion to dismiss and the judge DENIED their request. Per the court order, the victims, have enough evidence to continue with the lawsuit. The judge also found that there is evidence supporting the plaintiffs allegations that the ingredients in Monat hair products may be unsafe and it cannot be dismissed. It has moved to the discovery phase. This is all facts and not my opinion.

I used to be a market partner for Monat, I made no money and found the products weren't that amazing. I felt ripped off and like I was annoying messaging people all the time to sell it. It's way too expensive for what it is

[FoFoJenkins]

Thanks for your honest review. Used Monat for 2 years straight up thinned and fried my hair. I originally started using it because I wanted a more natural shampoo and conditioner. Prior I had very little split ends and no breakage now my hair is way shorter due to breakage. Was signed up as a market partner and never worked the biz cuz I was never sold on it. If I'm paying that much my hair should look bomb. The detox thing is bogus these products cause so much build up and nastiness. I'm totally done with it just praying that my hair can be salvaged. My prediction is that this company will be sued just like Wen.

[erikacutie]

Literally tried 3 different “systems” that they make over a period of 10 months, I even used the hair masques, hyradtion serum, blow out cream, heat protectant, you name it I had it and used it CORRECTLY. I had to try 3 different systems bc each one seemed to make my hair worse & worse. The hairstylist who sold it to me convinced me that “it’s detoxing the buildup from your old shampoo it should stop in abt 3 weeks” my hair never stopped “detoxing” it was ripping off at the ends, and the roots to mid shaft were so dry and rough like hay almost, literally once I put the shampoo in it almost became impossible to scrub my hair it was almost like liquid cement on my hair, every time I called the hairstylist she came up with some dumb ass reason my hair was being destroyed by the product, which is why I switched 3 times, giving each 3 systems a fair trial period of 3 months. I’ve never cried so much in my life it’s taken me almost a year to get my hair back how it was before and it’s only halfway there. I even told the stylist “everyone’s hair is different maybe mine just isn’t compatible with monat” but she was so dead set on selling she had excuse after excuse. I know everyone has different outcomes with monat but as far as my hair is concerned FUCK THAT SHIT.
