Salon Worthy Hair!

Are you happy with your haircare routine? If not then this could be the post for you! I recently had the opportunity to try out some shampoo and conditioner samples from Monat thanks to my blogging friend Meagan from Because of Jackie. She has been using Monat hair products for about six months and has had amazing results and wanted me to try it out too!

Meagan sent me the Monat Revive Shampoo, Revitalize Conditioner and Rejuvenique Oil. I don’t have any specific hair problems or needs so I was just looking to get really clean, healthy looking hair! 

According to instructions I washed my hair with half of the shampoo packet and left it in for 2-3 minutes. It didn’t really lather but that’s ok because it’s working to get rid of build up! I rinsed it out and then repeated that with the other half of the shampoo packet. This time I did get a lather and was able to work it nicely through my scalp and hair. (P.S. I have A LOT of hair but this one little packet was enough to get the job done! This product is really concentrated so a little goes a long way). 

Then I worked the Revitalize Conditioner through my hair, left it in for 1-2 minutes, and rinsed with COOL water. The cool water helps to close the hair cuticle seal in moisture and shine! 

After I got out of the shower I towel dried my hair and ran some of the Rejuvenique Oil through my hair with my fingers and blow dried my hair. The great thing is the Rejuvenique oil is super versatile. You can use it as a pre-shampoo treatment to add more moisture to your hair, as an intensive treatment where you add heat to open the hair cuticle and allow oils to penetrate, as a leave in treatment on dry hair, or as a face, neck and hand oil! (It left my hands super soft after I ran the oil through my hair! And it smells great!). 

Now it’s time for some results! I felt like I just got out of the salon! Seriously, my hair feels and smells AMAZING! You can see a before and after shot below. Now, I have to say that I have pretty good hair (I get it from my Armenian side!) and I was happy with the shampoo and conditioner I was using before. But I was never able to create that “fresh out of the salon” feel that I would have after a hair appointment. The Monat products definitely gave me that feeling!

It’s really hard to see the difference after just one wash but trust me – it feels so much different! My hair is super soft and I can’t stop touching it! 

I also love that Monat products don’t contain harmful ingredients such as Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates, PEG, DEA/MEA, harsh salt systems, harmful colors or fragrances. I like to try to keep my hair and skincare as natural as possible! 

So if you are having hair troubles or just tired of your current routine contact Meagan at becauseofjackie@yahoo.com to figure out what system will work for you! Meagan has been really open about her hair troubles which you can read about in this post and this post and the Monat system has worked wonders for her hair!
