Monat Hair System Review

You know if you're reading my blog that I am on the obsessed side of growing my hair out. I am willing to try anything once just to see if it works. So I dropped some big bucks and tried the $99 Volumizing System from Monat Global (a direct sales company). *This is an unbiased review of the product. I am not a representative of this company, nor helping one. I purchased it with my own money simply out of curiosity.






My system came with Shampoo, Conditioner, and Volumizing Root Boost spray. I traded someone in a swap group for the leave in hair masque later. I feel like that was a huge chunk of change to spend on such a small package, but worth a shot. To recap, I have hair that is difficult to grow and continues to fall out, though not to the "thinning" point just yet. I used the system until I ran out of conditioner and here is what I thought:

Pros:

• The system smells good
• There are no icky chemicals, it's naturally based
• It made my hair softer
• The shampoo lasts forever, a little goes a long way
• The  hair masque is heavy duty but doesn't leave your hair feeling greasy or weighed down
• Autoship orders always come with a sample of the product of the month
• I felt like the system did add some volume to my hair and I really liked the root boost spray
• My hair feels healthier than it did before Monat
• You're supporting someone's business by using Monat, go #teamMOM!
• Although I chose the volumizing system, there are lots of different combinations to choose from, including one specifically for men

Cons:

• The system is SUPER expensive
• The conditioner is smaller than the shampoo, yet you need to use more of it than the shampoo (why, why, WHY do they always make conditioners smaller?!?!)
• You have to pay to get the VIP price and they sucker you into autoship
• Said autoship cannot be cancelled online, it has to be done over the phone
• To get free shipping on your VIP order, you have to spend $100, which turns into $115 because there's literally nothing that adds up to $100
• I did not see an increase in thickness or growth while using the system

My verdict: If you're going to use Monat, start with a system, find the products that work best for you and just stick with those instead of dropping large amounts on the systems again. I will continue to use the root boost and hair masque since I like the way they function. I will not be purchasing the shampoo or conditioner again. I'd love to try the Rejuvenique oil but I am definitely not willing to drop $99 ($84 for VIPs) on ONE product, yikes.
