I tried it, based on your recommendation. My hair started falling out within a couple of weeks of using it. It was without a doubt more than normal shedding. I’m talking clumps in my shower. I have NEVER had this happen with a shampoo before. This was not “some other health issue.” I stopped Monat and the clumps stopped. It was 100% Monat. I now use Olaplex and my hair is very healthy. I also cannot get down with the fact that it’s a predatory MLM with a multitude of ethical issues.
No wonder, it has alcohol in it. Always google every ingredient before you use a product.
Where did you purchase it from? I know some places like Amazon etc can sell an authentic brand and in some cases I’ve heard stuff like this happen.
Funny. Olaplex is causing me major hair shedding right now.
Try the oribe alchemy line!
@@mynailsarewet9485 olaplex made my hair fall out in clumps
Love you Elle. I did lose 30% of my hair because of Monat. I was a market partner and was told my hair was detoxing so I thought the handfuls of hair was going to grow back thicker and stronger. It did not. I have been off Monat for 4 years now and my hair is starting to grow back.
Me too. It’s really frustrating. My hair is such a mess. I’m a stylist and trusted another stylist and it’s ruined my hair. It literally is just breaking off.
@@meaganhiller3029 I'm sorry this happened to you too. 😢
Apparently it has a close ph level to hair relaxer
How kinda of hair products do you use if you don't mind me asking?? I was using monat as well my hair was just falling off so I had to stop using it
@@monalisaochoa Surface Awaken.
my biggest issue with monat is the way majority of the sellers push it relentlessly and in a rude, demeaning, condescending way on social media. they try to manipulate and bully everyone period, into buying from them, plus i've seen firsthand how as a mlm, they basically steal from sellers and tey lie to desperate people to get them to invest then they make nothing.
That’s an MLM for you, but Monat is the worst
I really think MLM's and those who sell are individuals. Not a class of people. I sold it, and personally I hate selling anything to anyone. I barely spoke of it. So I was not a big "Director" and I keep my membership but do not discuss it. Unfortunately, sellers are anxious to get to the top and they push and push-NOT a great way to sell anything, in my opinion.
I also don’t really like how they recruit women based on this “boss babe” lifestyle. They romanticize this lifestyle of glamour, travel and luxury because you’re your “own boss” and can do what you want. And it’s rarely obtainable
@@KLA2789 how are they the worst? I am genuinely curious.
@@Wonderstruck24 *rarely attainable* or healthy for the people around you.
Thanks for sharing this! I have a friend that has been promoting and selling Monat and she completely changed from this super sweet, humble girl to an extremely vain and self-absorbed person. She probably gained “friends” from Monat but as her friend I didn’t want anything to do with MLM (previously joined WFG, a life insurance MLM) and know how they work, and of course we aren’t friends anymore. Monat is a big red flag to me in general and I’m surprised so many girls are still sucked into this MLM scheme.
The "Scientific research" that was done Was Funded by Monat. In fact, there is not One study performed by a non-biased government approved accredited organization , not one peer reviewed study, zero real clinical trials performed by anyone other than Monat themselves. You didn't research what you co-signed, at all.
As far as the state of Floridia is concerned, they made it very clear that because no real trials were performed nobody actually knows what is inside those bottles and It's Not Safe.
If "nobody knows what's in those bottles" then how can you say it's not safe? You're contradicting yourself
@@preggpop3722 Below is the verdict; (edit I marked the 3 **statements** in bold font)
What Monat promises not to do:
In the agreement with the attorney general, Monat affirmed that it will permanently refrain from:
**Making any representation “about the health benefits, safety, performance, or efficacy” of any of its products unless it “possesses and relies upon Competent and Reliable Scientific Evidence ... to substantiate that the representation is true.”**
Misrepresenting that a product “causes hair loss because your scalp is detoxifying and the hair follicles are enlarging.”
Misrepresenting that a product “is clinically proven to increase hair growth and significantly decrease hair loss.”
***Misrepresenting that the benefits of its products “are scientifically proven" or that independent lab tests confirm their safety and effectiveness. ***
***Misrepresenting that the company was certified by any entity, including governmental entities.***
Misrepresenting that a product “does not and never will contain polyethylene glycol, petrochemicals, sulfates, harmful fragrances, and harmful colors,” and that its products are “100% vegan or gluten free.”
Misrepresenting that customers are receiving a 100% money-back, satisfaction guarantee, and the total cost that will be incurred as a result of accepting a discount.
"Falsely or deceptively using stock photos as ‘before and after photos’ in its advertisements.
In addition, the company agreed to “clearly and conspicuously” disclose its terms and conditions before obtaining customers' billing information and/or charging the consumer’s credit card, debit card, bank account or other financial account.
Monat agreed to pay $250,000 to cover the state’s attorneys fees, costs and investigative fees, and to refund at least $82,782 to customers whose complaints were reviewed in the investigation.
@@thatswhatshesaid8365 This! Should be a top comment!!!!^
I’m only 10 mins in to this video but I have to say, this wasn’t political or caused by haters. I used Monat for a year and the first six months were amazing. I was true believer and even signed up to sell it. Then it got less amazing. My hair was dull and greasy. Then it started to fall out dramatically every time I showered. I still believed in Monat and switched the type I was using. No improvement but I kept pushing with Monat. Then, I saw that others were complaining about hair loss and I finally made the connection. I quit Monat and very quickly my hair stopped falling out and started looking better. It took a LONG time for my hair to recover.
i firmly believe it is similar to pantene and all those drug store brands that coats the hair in an ultimately negative way, and i believe it can cause bad breakage for certain peoples hair too after a build up!
@@BoglimWrangler666 I had two hair stylist tell me that Pantene is the worst shampoo for my hair.
This was literally me. Everything you said happened to me as well. Started back with Olaplex, Redken, Kevin Murphy etc and it’s slowly but surely getting healthy again!
@@ginam1113 my mother used pantene and her, and my sisters hair both fell out more than normal
That’s a good long time to use and test out a product. Most people only give it a month or two. Thank you for your feedback, I find it valuable as you really gave it a try.
I worked at a doctors office 5 years ago and a women came in with a greasy red rash on her hair. She developed it after using Monat for three months, sadly her hair fell out. So when people want to say I don’t believe these claims about this product are true, it’s honestly infuriating. I’ve seen first hand how terrifying and painful it was for this women. Worst part she couldn’t sue Monat because they always had a reason and money to postpone the lawsuit. Basically she would go poor trying to sue this horrible company.
I was on the fence about purchasing. You lost me when you said there’s no chemical that removes hair. Um, what!?!? Estrogen disrupters DO cause hair loss. Additionally, all the studies you quoted were done by Monat! 🤔sorry, I’m out.
Yes! Smart lady!
I have nothing against the product, I’ve used it for about a year but I just recently cancelled my account. I couldn’t justify paying $120 for a shampoo and conditioner with shipping. The shampoo is around $50 in Canada btw so it was much more expensive!
From professional to professional Monat is why I unsubsrcibed from you. People didn't just claim to lose hair, people lost hair. I'm sorry but any percentage of people losing their hair is unacceptable to me. I feel the same way about Devacurl. Back in the day Wen.
Deva curl and wen didn’t expand to other countries. MONAT just expanded to 9 countries and growing ! 😊
A lot of people got greedy. They overstated the claims, and said it could do a heck of a lot more hair growth than it actual could do.
Girl I’m behind the chair & loved it at first,
until I got the hair loss 😭Stopped when I stopped using it, I was so devastated Bc I was pulling for it & still love the blow cream!!
Couldn’t be more true that just isn’t for everyone!!! Great video Babe💋
After a little over a year my hair is awful, looks stringy and dead. I do have bad hair genetics but not sure if monat made it worse. I absolutely hate my hair now
To be fair, I wanted to elaborate. My hair is bleached (don't feel like it's over done though) and also limit using heat. One thing I wanted to add is, I do have PCOS which hair loss is a symptom of it. My husband has been consistent and he looooveeesss it for him, the sides of his hair have grown back (he had the a noticeable receiving hairline, he also uses the skincare and his wrinkles are basically gone at 37. I wish it worked that great for me but nope.
Thanks for this video. I know that you really care and actually look into things because I've watched a number of your other videos.
There is a ethical dilemma with Monat and mostly ALL MLM's targeting lower income and minorities...
Low income people don’t have money to buy expensive mlm products or invest in company start ups. You can’t get blood from a stone.
Thank you for your transparency and opinion Sylvia. I’ve never tried Monat and I’m loving my Aura regimen so far so thank you. I trust your professional opinion when it comes to hair health and hair care. BTW, I love your dress is it Zara?? Congrats on expecting too, you’re beautiful in every way.🥰💞
You can sell it all you want but its still an MLM that targets lower income mothers who make no money off it. You have an audience and a way to sell it without cold calling, I've seen these "huns" ruin families. Its also $90 in australia for the rubbish.
I don’t care how good the product is, if it’s part of an MLM I would never buy it. I feel so sorry for the people at the bottom of an MLM, they work so hard for others to get rich.
Isn’t that every kind of job though? You work hard to get a promotion and make money off others. Like the sale lady got a commission off me at Neiman Marcus but Nemans Marcus got the majority of the money and Gucci got the most. Right?!
My friend does it. I told her no. I found it on ebay though for way cheaper. I didn't tell her that though.lol! I'm thinking about buying sample packets. There is a Monat wrinkle serum I want to buy though. Literally watched my friends wrinkles around her lips diminish greatly. It's temporary. But nice to have on special occasions. Lasts about 8 hrs.
@@dianafox7188 be extremely careful buying products off eBay, Amazon etc. I’m a licensed cosmetologist and a lot of the time people are selling you diluted or expired products that have no buy back guarantee. Who knows what they do to those bottles to sell fake products. They like to add alcohol in those. I would never buy off a third party especially if it’s cheaper. Your hair may fall out from it.
If one wants the real deal non MLM product I would recommend Alterna which is partly owned by Katie Holmes. It’s an established company, great for blonde hair, and used by stylists and legit celebrities like Jennifer Aniston. It’s within the similar price point but better quality.
@@daniellemills3849 oh I never thought of that. Thank you.
Thank you so much for clarifying all of the controversy out there on the web .
You mentioned you still use the monat once or twice a week, curious to what monat products you still are currently using.
Also, wondering what your opinion is on the Virtue hair care line
My hairdresser was using it for a year, maybe a little longer, she also sold it to clients that were interested. She literally stopped because of certain things that she had experienced with several of the accusations, including being forced to resign due to not being active on the site. And then she started hearing from her other clients that it was messing with their menstrual cycles, she was skeptical and asked her lead and didn't get an answer to this claim. She asked more questions to that client and the client said that she actually tried not using it one month and she had her period and she did that for some time. That client also had lab work done to rule out other health issues, which none were found. Long story short, my hairdresser stopped using and selling the product. Personally, to each their own, I personally wouldn't use it. But thank you for coming on here and explaining your stance without sounding like you're trying to sell us the product.
I haven’t had a period in 5 years (because of nexplanon) I started using these products on Nov 18th, started a massive period on Nov 22nd. It lasted 3 weeks and finally stopped. I went to the Doctor and they had no idea what was going on. I started back bleeding 15 days ago & bleed up until yesterday. Every time after I would wash my hair it was 100xs worse the next day. I read some reviews and decided to strip my hair with some Lange detox shampoo (I washed it 6xs) within 12 hours I completely stopped bleeding.
I just wrote this comment above, and I'll write it here too. I'll tell you why I think some people find their hair starts falling out after using some Monat products. Their ingredients include a phytoestrogen ("The Red Clover used in Monat is Red Clover extract - a water-based ingredient that is a phytoestrogen often used in herbal and naturopathic preparations") which is good for hair growth PROVIDED YOU DON'T SUFFER HORMONAL IMBALANCES. For example, if you have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) this very often results in higher than normal levels of insulin and testosterone, which converts to estrogen, which means higher estrogen than normal. And some women with PCOS, while they might grow hair in unwanted places, like on their chins, they may also experience thinning and hair loss on their heads. And if you add more estrogen to their systems - which you could be doing using a shampoo containing a phytoestrogen (they mimic estrogen), then that person might experience EVEN MORE hair loss. ON THE OTHER HAND, a menopausal woman who is NOT taking HRT (hormone replacement therapy), might actually benefit from using a Monat product with a phytoestrogen. It's important to pinpoint WHY a person has hair loss in the first place. If it's from too much hair styling and pulling from hairbands, or stress, Monat products might be a perfect solution (provided the person doesn't suffer any allergies to any of their other ingredients). If the hair loss has a hormonal basis, or if the person is overweight and might have insulin resistance or a thyroid issue, be careful recommending Monat products because that person may already have some hormone imbalances which the phytoestrogens in Monat may not help. Anyway, I think until a study is done on what I am saying, take it with a grain of salt. But it's worth considering if you have no other clues as to why the products work for one person, but not for another. That would also explain why it messes with some people's menstrual cycles!
Yes! My cousin sold monat. So.. I brought it from her. I cant cancel until I get 3 orders of $100!? I've been pushing off my 3rd order for a year now! My hair was thin before.. now it's so thin!!
You can cancel but you do have to pay $25 fee
@@girl1240 oh that’s shocking! I’ve never heard of that
Thank you Sylvia, I appreciate this!
Thanks for watching!
@@Ellebangs ❤️
I'm so glad you shared your thoughts! I've been curious recently as to what happened. I started using their products just over a year ago and I love what they've done for my hair! I absolutely agree with the negative MLM standpoint and I do wish there were other/ better options for purchasing. After a year of seeing the results for myself, I decided to join- mostly to save $ on my purchases- and attempt to make any sales based off my experience with it; however, with all the negative articles and not wanting to come off "salesy" I didn't get far.
Very informative video!! Have you tried the Viori Shampoo/Conditioner bar soaps?
Super helpful and very tastefully done!! I always learn so much fe your videos!
Great, great video! So informative. Thank you!
Would love to hear what you think about New Wash? I love it, I also used Wen for years/ never understood why my hair stopped growing & got thin! It’s almost to my waist with New Wash.
I'd love to hear more about this Kim !!!
I was using Monat and loved it. Noticed some hair fallout, BUT it was also a problem relating to covid! I had covid and my hair was falling out. After a year of not using Monat, it was still falling out somewhat. Just started using Monat again and I really do like it. It may be pricier, but it lasts so long. One bottle of shampoo lasts me around 6 months or longer. I love how my hair feels now! I dont like MLM but I really do love this product. Thanks for sharing Sylvia!!
Thank you for such an interesting indepth explanation 😊

This was SO informative. Totally makes sense. I have balanced hormones but pre menopausal, so it may be good for me. Not taking hormone therapy because I refuse to. Just ordered Monat yesterday. I guess I will see. Thank you for this.
@@Smarion2 I'm not expert though so beware any products with hormone disruptors may throw your natural balance out so just monitor yourself for any symptoms.
Thanks for sharing! I have pcos and insulin resistance and was curious about this shampoo
Thank you for your thoughtful and educated response!
Being a cosmetologist, everything is very expensive.. the whole line is OK, my favorite hair care is by PUREOLOGY.
olaplex is pretty good too
Love pureology!
Me too Strength Cure is my favorite!
Alterna

Loved this video. I had bought $200 worth of Monat because my hair was falling out. I did stop using it after about 2 weeks because my hair was feeling like straw. Now I understand that that’s normal when trying help the scalp so I asked the person I bought it from if I could use a more nourishing conditioner and they advised me that was not a good idea. Once I heard that i was completely turned off and I stopped using the product. I thought a product that you cannot use with ANYTHING else… sketch. Wish I watched this video before I tossed everything! ♥️
That’s so weird I don’t understand why she said you couldn’t use a nourishing conditioner. Did she recommended the intensive repair line? If yes, you should only use this max 2 times a week otherwise it could really dry out your hair. I made this mistake getting one of my clients to use this and although all her balding grew back her hair was breaking because it was so dry, she was using it every other day. You can surely use a nourishing conditioner, I recommend the new line damage repair bond treatment and masque. Try telling the girl you bought from that you want these products. I love their new line, my hair is extremely damaged from bleach and it is the only thing that has made it more manageable and doesn’t string while it’s wet when I brush it like it use to.
One of the best things u can use for hair loss and one of the few proven products is minoxidil it will take a few months to start working and u can seem to shed more hair when 1st using it but it is what doctors etc all recommend
@@asalyousef i had the same experience and my hair got so dry.. for somebody with fine hair with which line would you alternate ??
@@taniawalsh1876 which line are you currently using?
@@taniawalsh1876 oh the intensive! Sorry I forgot. Hmm I would definitely ask the person providing the products for you. If I give you a recommendation I would need to know a little more about your hair
Didn’t like it and the woman I bought from was extremely pushy and rude. Olaplex is the best!!
I used monat and stopped because i did notice more fall out than the normal amount i would have.
In which months did the hair loss begin?
Happened to me with Wen!
Your honesty is greatly appreciated ❤
thank you for watching!
Wait, I would like to know more about when your hair started getting thinner around your forehead. I’ve been noticing that on myself.
Thank you 🙏
Ive been curious about this for a long time
Thank you!❣️
How do you spell the line you recommend?
@@Mail4Lisa Aura hair care !
Thank you for being candid and transparent!!!
I signed up for Monet and was wanting to love the product so much. I was very excited about growing healthier hair. My hair was drier than normal and I have thick hair..really thick. I started using Monet and found it was making my hair very sticky at the roots. The rep told me it was temporary and to just keep using the product and that my hair was actually clearing itself of buildup. I did another few washes and it got so bad I used another shampoo to wash out the gunk on my hair. I started using the Monet again. I gave it a good month and decided I couldn’t use the products any longer. I’m not sure what the stickiness was but I never used Monet again. I am still a subscriber because I haven’t made my three purchases.
I just as surprised how drying it was as well! Also was extremely excited to try it to be completely let down
I’ve never used their products, but this video is very informative, thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Question, can you use the intense repair shampoo if you had keratine on your hair 3 months ago?
I used Monat samples and my hair broke off and sores came on my scalp. never used it again and no more problems!
Monat
I’ve been using monat for about two years now. All of a sudden my hair texture has changed drastically. I am losing a lot of hair and it gets really tangled. I loved my hair for the first time in my life when I first started using monat , the texture and body was the healthiest & strongest it ever was, but in the last 6 mo everything changed. I wonder way? At first I didn’t pay a lot of concern over it but now it’s heartbreaking. I need my hair repaired but I’m not sure what other products to switch to that will do that. Monat was so expensive but it was magic at first but I’m pretty sure the party’s over with monat. So sad. If anyone had a good result trying to save your hair after monat stopped working-please share what you did to make your hair strong again.
The same happened to me! I’ve been using it for about 2 years and the past 4 months or so I’ve been having ALOT more hair loss. The crazy thing is, I notice when I use the damage repair line I have a lot more fall out too. I just left the hairdressers and I asked if I had any fall out when he washed it and NOPE! He used Kevin Murphy.
It’s super disappointing about monat, I have so much product I can’t use anymore!
If you had Covid or took the jab or are surrounded by people who too the jab and are shedding you will experience dramatic hair loss!!! I find it weird that all of a sudden people blaming a shampoo company when other factors need to be looked into deeper. Do your homework.
@@daniellekatrina same with you. Been using it for over 2 years and was working great til April. Then noticed I was losing alot of hair in the shower and more when combing it as it was very snarls. I even used a leave in conditioner. I perm and highlight my hair while using it too.
@DimK spot on, its toolate for some, tell them and they won't believe...
Check your estrogen levels. There is a phytoestrogen (estrogen mimicking) in the product which could cause your own estrogen levels to rise. If they were already high before (think possible excessive carbohydrate consumption = high insulin = eventual higher estrogen, or other hormone disruptors like plastics) then add a phytoestrogen to that and you'll have even higher estrogen levels, which can cause hair loss! Phytoestrogens could be helpful to those with lower estrogen on the other hand - think menopausal women who are doing the transition without HRT.
I really liked your way in explaning do you have a video about cmg ?
Thanks for the info "didn't know anything about it" I still haven't tried using it. Can't wait to see your new baby❤
I loved it too but it was too pricy and I’ve looked for a cheaper dupe for years as it made my hair thicker feeling and awesome. Any recommendation on one similar to it? I learned how to emulsify the shampoo from videos and love that technique but can’t find a cheaper shampoo that works as well. I grew up on Avon and Tupperware parties and Thirtyone.
Are your master classes going to be about how to bleach and color hair?
I signed up under a hairdresser to sell Monat because I am not one and thought that would be helpful but sadly she never wanted to be bothered answering questions.....I still love Monat and think it is a great product....agree with a lot you said....customers say they used to run amazing sales/promotions not anymore.
They still have amazing sales, like every week. There’s the holiday set sale today.
2 months ago i started using their products , and my scalp start hurting me so bad , and feel very very sensitive , if my kid touche my hair it would realy hurt , i have never had this before, i think i have to stoppe it immédiatly
I tried Monat when it first came out and didn’t care for it. Tried it again recently because I thought that maybe their formulations had improved. Still didn’t work for me
I think it works great but I don’t get it anymore because it’s a hassle with MLM.
You explained this very well. Thanks for sharing!
Bestie, you’re glowing
I think they covered up a contamination. All the attention went towards saying the ingredients were fine, but the quality of the manufacturing and transparency is just as important.
First of all, congratulations! Your baby bump is so cute. Looking beautiful as always. It’s nice to hear your perspective about Monat. I purchased an enrollment pack just for the discount, and really stocked up on things I knew I liked. I’m still using the products 2 years later because (1) the bottles last forever and (2) my hair has definitely become healthier….and I’ve done a fair amount of abuse to it with bleaching and coloring! Never was into selling the stuff but I agree it’s a shame that its name has been tarnished in that lawsuit and the media.
Do you know a shampoo or mask for a cool beige blond and not white blond?
So informative!! 🤍🤍
Just wanted to mention there are products that use chemicals for hair removal. I just found that statement near the beginning a little odd. Cream hair removal products exist, and have done for decades.
What brand is that shirt?
I use Monat. Almost a year now. My hair has grown an insane amount and is wayyy thicker than it’s ever been and super soft and shiny. But my scalp gets really dry and flaky why is that? Is it because the products are so concentrated? I only wash once to twice a week. I love the way my hair feels but I am slightly nervous about my scalp.
Also do you think it’s true that you really need to wash twice with Monat every wash?
Yes you need to do the 2 washes and the.n conditioner. If your scalp is flaky or dry, try the Purifying shampoo. I use it for one wash and then the hydrating shampoo. See how that works for you.
There is also a scalp scrub to help exfoliate the dead skin off. I’ll also recommend an oil treatment with the rejuveniqe oil. On the scalp. I have dry scalp too. I do both and use renew shampoo.
Their oil helped me with that!
It’s true that some shampoos and treatment can literally make your hair fall. Aveda had that effect on me… my hair is natural and healthy and the few times I used it I experienced hairloss! Your video brings alot of information that the average person wouldn’t necessarily know.
John frieda go blonder shampoo did it to me
@@Neonrain08 i stay away from that brand.. not a good experience…
Wen did it to me!
Why does my comment keep getting removed? 🙄 long story short Monat damaged my hair it literally caused breakage. The whole company is sketchy as I was told it was normal to have an allergic reaction (itchy eyes) after using their products and that your body will get used to it.
Looks like it hasn't been removed 😁
Thank you for this video; I signed up as a Monat VIP and have used the products on and off for a while now. Although, I do like the products, I don't use them all the time. I am just wondering if you would ever do a review of WEN products. I go back to WEN every so often when my hair feels really dry and it always helps!
Anyone know any other great products to grow hair?
People!! You dont have to pay 50-70 of shampoo. That bottle cost 10-15 dollars and is the same thing others hair bran shampoos. The rest of money go the up of the pyramine beacause ths is mlm.
Can you do a video comparing their new bond line to olaplex and which is better?
Olaplex was sued in America for their cancer causing ingredients. Did you not investigate that?
Can you do a video on how to face frame??
I think she did a couple months ago, bangs too.
🧡🧡
Are your nails acrylic?
Great video.You always give such wonderful information. with the insight of an educated hair professional.
So I had a former client that sweared by this brand! she’s become a millionaire off of it. She seems to do pretty well with it, and I was starting to think that maybe it wasn’t that bad regardless of the lawsuits and stories I had heard. But because I work at a salon, and it would be a conflict of interest with the products we already sell, that kinda saved me from trying the products. Fast forward almost 3 years later she meets the love of her life gets married and gets pregnant, there’s a point to this story… well my client ended up having a miscarriage! One of the stories and one of the law suits claimed that, they women who were pregnant that used there products were having multiple miss carriages. (Aka detox process) I think one of the ingredients that contributed to that was red clover? Well that seemed to happen to my client. I doubt that she’ll ever link the 2 together and I feel like it’s not my place since she’s a former client. Please be careful if your pregnant 🤰 and using this brand.
Maybe consider taking down or putting your old videos where you talked about it on private. If you haven't already.
I thought that rejuvenique oil both nourishes and hydrates hair sufficiently.
Love your honesty. Thank you for your expert advice and insight.
I'll admit I was curious to try it, but every single sales person I saw on social media seemed.... mean girl? Idk how else to say it lol they seem loud and cuss a lot and bully people. That's not my jam. Glad to hear your honesty on this and I'm glad I changed my mind. 🖤
Hey Andrea :p I’m new as a seller for Monate. I do this on the site as I have a full time job as a human ressources officier. I assure you I’m not mean if you ever have question or anything 😊
My hair Loooove it and I hope to use it again in future. It is pricy and if you can afford it try it. My bestfriend sells it and she doesn't push the products to sell it in a rude way. I do wish they weren't MLM one of the second reason why I stopped buying it. The first one was the price. Use the original shampoo and conditioner and I have bleach hair. I also try the BB Cream and I love it.
I clicked on this video to see what you had to say because I used only one bottle of Monat and stopped as I was scared to keep using it. I use other products and means and my hair is healthy. I also was being pressured at the time by my current stylist and I could tell they were trying to get me into the MLM, so I left that salon. It was shady. BUT, I am not a fan of you Elle, just for the mere fact that in trying to ask questions before booking a trip to Cali to see you for my hair, it was a struggle to get any questions answered before I would fly all the way there. You have a salon, but you do not cater to those who may want to come see you for an expert hair cut and opinion. We are in the dark before we would book a flight and travel. I can never find a good stylist, ever. I have resorted to cutting my own hair for now, albeit I am not the best, but learn a bit each time. I am frustrated because I sometimes cut it wrong and have to deal with it growing back etc...it is very frustrating when for basically my entire life I an never find a stylist who is good and not too expensive, can color and cut, listens to what I say I want, and who stays in the profession and doesn't cancel on me because they left. It's such a pain keeping for finding a good stylist and I live in a small town.
this comment is so very odd… writing your whole story about not having a good hairstylist and cutting your own hair on someone that you’re NOT A FAN ofs RUclips videos is weird..
getting on a flight to get your hair cut is a very odd thing to do but do you girl do you
Keep your judgement to yourself. Many people fly to see well known hair stylists. Besides I fly for free. So stay out of what you do not know. You don’t know me, so just be quiet.
But have you done research of where this company comes from? The money they used to start it etc? Just a question. Not that I know but as a venezuelan what I have heard is not any good
Can you share with us what it is you've heard, please, pretty please.
@@pinkwakabeagle links to the Venezuelan dictatorial government and money laundering is what I have heard, honestly don't even know if that is true but wouldn't be surprised if that is the case
If the product speaked for itself, they wouldn't need to rely on their "sellers" wallets in order to make their money.
You cannot state that factual evidence + statistics are "negative energy" hun, while you're at it take a look into how MLMs core value is preying on vulnerable women and robbing $$.
That's a silly statement, as product can only speak for itself when a person shares their results. How on earth would you know to buy a great shampoo if you've never seen the results on somebody? Literally every single product on this planet gets advertised one way,or another.
No need to pretend that MLMs are something that is forced upon a person, you leave at any time. Is it annoying to receive messages and stuff for marketing? Yes, but it's just as annoying as any Instagram or Facebook ad. Taking percentage of the sales is literally how any business works, so there is no robbing anyone. I could never sell stuff this way because I don't like the pushy approach,but this doesn't cloud my judgement of the strategy itself. Y'all get a bit too emotional over this, other than looking at it with a clear mind.
@@vegan_guac I haven't read anything in your comment that would indicate to me that you have any clear understanding of the "strategy" an MLM uses. If you did you would also be able to clearly see that it's not clever, sustainable or a sophosticated design specifically because you're not supposed to rack up debt from working your job. You dont pay to go to work, and you dont leave at the end of the day with nothing. You also aren't demoted from your position just because you didnt sell as much as last month, and MLMs convince you that you are a brand new business owner when in reality you're not. The whole set up is designed to keep you invested. Sure, leave at any time but dont pretend that 98% of people who sign up ultimately walk away in a worse position than when they had started.
@@thatswhatshesaid8365 um lol i dont know what type of job you have but im pretty sure everyone pays to go to work. Whether its in gas, car insurance, car payments, bus fare, buying a bike, buying lunch at work... it does cost money to work. Also, there are plenty of jobs out there where the employees rely on commissions from sales or tips so you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
How do you feel about silicones? I've always used them on my curls but Monat is against them
They're not all bad.
Silicones are fine they help detangle and smooth the hair and make it more soft. However you should use a clarifying shampoo to remove buildup or it will give opposite effects like make your hair dry dull damaged and unable to absorb moisture
I used the mane and tail shampoo after having my son and my hair grew like a weed and thick...then years later I heard that people were saying the same thing about their hair falling out so I stopped using it...I have problems now wit my hair thinnin out...I jus feel its my age or I dont know why its happenin...😭
mane and tail has better ingredients than monat, i used it on my heavily bleached hair and it was very gentle.. i can't imagine it causing breakage or literal hair fall tbh..
@@BoglimWrangler666 I have used Mane and Tail on and off for many years. I also think it's a good shampoo. I just try switching out every now and again with something different, but it has always worked for me. I tried Monat once and was not impressed with it (especially for the cost) and after using a bottle of the shampoo and part of the conditioner I decided it wasn't for me.
Overuse of mane and tail will make your hair fall out. What it does is "plump" the hair giving it the illusion of fuller hair and when you continually plump the hair it will break because it can only take so much. Everything in moderation, I always tell my clients not to use it every wash more like once every other week and use a different shampoo in-between
Thanks for everyones input..I may start using it again...It really helped my hair after having my son but it just scared me after seein ppl commenting stuff about their hair falling out...im due for a doc appointment soon and will ask to see if i can get my hormones checked out or see if its somethn goin on with my health that is causing the issue...😔
Could be thyroid.
There is hair removing products that are marketed as such like nair
No "Nair" melts the hair and not great on the skin, It doesn't remove the hair from the follicle. Removing hair from the follicle is whole other science and result which no one has manage to successfully create.
I see what you mean now. Were people saying that monat was causing them permanent hair loss? From my limited understanding, people were saying it was more like nair in the aspect that people had scalp burns and just hair falling out. I didn’t know it caused actual permanent hair loss. Glad to hear it turned out to be false cause that is a lot scarier.
This shit ruined my hair!! How do I get it back?!
You can buy retail! ♡ easy peasy
I love the Monat shampoo and I definitely have more hair than ever. I have been using it for 5 years and still using it ❤️❤️❤️ I appreciate your honesty in this vid❤️
You should look into no sulfates fast hair growth shampoo.
Thank you for this video. I love you hair color so much, what color do you call this? So I can show my stylist, thank you! 💜
I'm glad you explained that is a scalp shampoo. I had heard horrible things about it. Thank you for the explanation!
Every shampoo is for your scalp. Thats the purpose of a shampoo. You rub it into your scalp, then as the rest runs down the shaft thats all it needs.
You dont need to vigorously open the rest of the cuticle. All the build up oil etc is at the base.
Then conditioner is designed for the ends and mid-shaft, not the roots. Because the further away the hair is from the scalp, the less protected it is and the more prone to damage it is.
Conditioner nourishes the ends and helps protect it just like the oil from the scalp does.
Brushes & combs are generally supposed to help distrobute the oils evenly through the rest of the hair to help keep it healthy.
Class action lawsuits exist for legitimate reasons. Children with burn blisters on their scalps, young adults losing excessive hair etc what do they have to gain by 'bashing' the product or going to court, just for fun?
It's dangerous, especially as a hair dresser to be calculating in how they choose to speak on matters such as this.
She isn't completely at fault, unfortunately there are many people surrounding her convincing her that these babies bleeding from the scalp are just haters.
I wish she would do proper research. Shes very intelligent, beautiful, educated on a lot.. I enjoy her very much and believe she's a great woman with a lot of great valuable knowledge to share.
But when money is involved.. you just have to be a little extra cautious, especially when its your health that's up for debate.
Develop your own network marketing company. You are very knowledgeable about what customers need.
Damn, you lost me as a subscriber, it goes way beyond the hair care of monat , its about the business structure. 98% of all monat sellers will make NO MONEY or even LOSE MONEY . Mlms pray on vulnerable people and destroy peoples lives, not to mention how manipulative, cult like and toxic environment. I love how you say people hair was falling out and in the same breath said that monat " sells itself" umm no, if that was the case people wouldn't need to recruit to ACTUALLY make money? Its the ingredient red clover that causes hair lose but I know the studies that monat paid for won't talk or be transparent about that. Your morals are SAD .
Are you still using this product? What are your thoughts on the clinical line?
👎👎👎… the issue is that the products are sold under a MLM
I mean ...look what happen with deva curl...
I only have clients hair fall out massively Australia
Good morning
Thank you for saying the truth about monat. I have been wanting to try the product but I was scared. My hair sheds alot and it's thinning and it grows slowly. Which products of monat do you recommend.
Thank you
Hi! If your hair is thinning you need the shampoo, conditioner and a masque. I helped my mom with this issue and her hair looks fuller now.
@@stefsellsnwa
Hi thanks
But which shampoo, conditioner and masque?
@@alinah9146 hi alina! the bond repair line and or volume shampoos+ conditioners are solid for your concerns!
@@finesseambs8133
Thank you and have a great day
Dang it. I may just stick to the oil and give the rest away!
That whole hair falling out, suing, and negative press happened to WEN as well. There is nothing in those products that causes issues either.
Yes, and they stopped selling WEN here in Canada :( it was my absolute favourite and I still haven't found anything comparable!
The only two brands that have ever messed up my hair were WEN and Monat, all the other dozens of brands I have used never damaged my hair.
I tried Monat. I detest all mlms because over the years I have just gotten burned out on them in all aspects of my Life. and loved the scent and the feel of my hair. I didn't end up using it more than the samples I was given. It seems like an urban myth along the lines of Devi Curl..(yiu are right, different shampoos affect different hair, differently.) it did not do the things that wen did where it got matted and greasy no matter how much I rinsed! Igot covid in December started shedding massively in January and February and March and April..switched to vegan diet and lowered my stress..by then my bleached over processed hair was grown out about 4 inches. Then I went no poo just water and vinegar sprayed and mild conditioner on ends left in, for a month and a half (May and June) and started using a 5% minoxidil in June July and August during this last year. Just to try it. I have been using olap!ex 3 as a mask and no 6 on the ends. and no heat or sorays this summer...maybe twice..I leave the roots alone. I finally got a mild color of the now 6 inches which was brown n white mixed in september professionally done. Really lifted my skin tone and brightened everything. So just past shoulder length now and feeling and looking better! Trying to get to a mixed Jen Aniston baby lights in the front kind of style.
