How To Use Monat Products

Yes there is a particular way to wash your hair! First and foremost, you do not need a lot of product to get the job done. A dime to a quarter size amount is all that is needed to have fabulous hair. Some people may use too much and it ends up making their hair feel heavy or greasy.....especially with the masque or leave in conditioner.

First make sure your hair is really really wet. Squeeze a dime to quarter size amount of shampoo into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together to make a nice lather. Apply it to the hair and massage it through onto the scalp. Don't worry if you don't get a lot of lather. Leave the shampoo in for one to three minutes. Rinse and repeat. The second wash should produce a lot more lather.

If you use the masque in the shower, squeeze out the extra water and apply a dime to quarter size into the ends of hair. About half way up the hair shaft should do it since the masque may be too heavy for some people. You can leave the masque in for 3-10 minutes. Just clip it up and go about your business in the shower and by the time you're done you can rinse out your hair.

On towel dried hair you can apply the leave in conditioner. A half to one pump of leave in is all you need. If you want you can add a drop or two of the Rejuveniqe Oil, rub together in your hands and apply on the ends of the hair. Style as usual.

If you use the Moxie Mousse or the Tousled Texturing Mist, you only need a half to a full pump. I only use a half. Rub the hands together and scrunch it into the hair and style as desired. The Taffy is great to use for flyaways or to hold your curls. Very little bit is needed. The hairspray is awesome! Shake it like you mean it to activate those oils. It holds your hair in place yet it leaves it soft, with no stickiness or crunch.

If you would like a deeper conditioning treatment, mix a couple drops of oil with the masque and apply. Put your hair up and leave on for a few hours or over night. Wash out in the morning and you hair will be soft as silk!

You can make a spray detangler, which is great for kids. Add 2-4 pumps of leave-in conditioner and 2-4 drops of oil to a small spray bottle of hot water. Shake it up really good and shake it each time you use it....works like a charm!

What To Expect....

Everyone's hair is different and therefore everyone experiences different results at different times. Monat is a hair care system that takes time to do it's magic. Some people see results with one wash, some need a few washes to see a difference. There is also a period of "detox" that can be worse for some.

Detox is Monat working to remove all the crap that previous products have left behind. Silicones, waxes, sulphates and other harsh chemicals. These chemicals have been building up on the hair for years and it will take more than a wash or two to get rid of it.

Monat guarantees that within 90 days you will see results. During those months you may experience some or all of the following......

Month 1 - Detoxifying-Your hair and scalp begin to assimilate Monat's active ingredients.

Most experience:

  • Better overall texture as the products begin to penetrate
  • Improved circulation from powerful actives energizing the hair and scalp
  • Reduction in tangling
  • Softer hair and a more natural feel
  • Improvement in colour and condition 
  • Some baby hair growth
Some may experience:

  • Refined oil production as your pH balances equalize
  • Some flaking due to boosted cellular turnover and exfoliation
  • Some itching caused from follicles that are beginning to wake up and grow
  • Some dryness or stickiness as the years of buildup and wax start to dissolve
  • Some shedding from hair follicles that are enlarging and getting rid of old cells and dormant hair

Month 2 - Recovering-Your hair and scalp are becoming healthier and less sensitive to outside influences .

Most experience:

  • Increased volume because the buildup that weighs hair down has vanished
  • Increased control
  • Balanced oils and increased hydration as the follicles energize and continue to reactivate
  • Less tangling and more life
  • Reduction in frizz and flyaways due to a healthier cuticle that lays flatter
Some May experience:

  • The flaking has probably all but stopped
  • The itching should have calmed down
  • The sticky feeling has almost all gone away as the buildup is disappearing
  •  Hair is becoming shinier, livelier, and healthier feeling
  • New hair growth is stronger and more mature
  • Less shedding

Month 3 - Stabilizing-Your hair and scalp are returning to a more natural state as most detox and recovering issues have all but vanished.

Most experience:

  • Improved overall volume as individual strands plump up from the inside out
  • Improved manageability
  • Improved body, lift and bounce
  • Reduced frizz and hydrated ends
  • Smoother, shinier hair
  • Better texture and quality of hair combined with added strength
  • Hair that combs and brushes easily
  • Thickness and increased definition
  • Noticeably greater hair growth
  • You may not have to wash as often due to balanced moisture and oils
  • Improvement in natural and/or chemical colours 
Overall longer, fuller, stronger, younger-looking hair!!

It's so exciting to think about the future with this company and where I'll be a year from now!

New IRT Shampoo

We were introduced to a new product called Intense Repair Shampoo and I received my shipment yesterday! The system consists of the shampoo and the Intense Repair Treatment spray. I really liked it....it lathers really well, even when rubbing it in the hands first! It's kind of minty but not a really strong mint like the Men's Black 2 in 1, which is a peppermint scent. I don't mind the Men's, it's a good clarifying shampoo.

I thought the new IRT Shampoo would leave my hair tangly and feeling rough but surprisingly it was just the opposite....it felt smooth and no tangles! This shampoo will need to be paired with a conditioner if you like using a conditioner. I used the masque then when towel dried I sprayed a bit of my homemade spray conditioner and there were very few tangles!

After I blow dried my hair it was so soft and felt really good! Never ever have I been able to say I love blow drying my hair!! I never would because it would frizz up and have lots of knots! Not the case now!

My homemade conditioner spray is just hot water in a spray bottle I bought from a dollar store. 4 pumps of the leave in conditioner along with 4 drops of the Rejuveniqe oil. Shake it really good with each use. There may be clumps of the leave in conditioner at first but they dissolve! I use it on Maddy and it works great!!

Rejuveniqe Oil

This oil is something else I tell ya! It has so many uses ... hair, skin, nails, skin irritations, sun burn ... just to name a few! I've used it in my hair and on my cuticles. I put a small amount on my eye lashes and have noticed new lashes growing and they are getting longer and thicker.



Very little is needed, a few drops for hair, not even one drop for my cuticles and same for my eyelashes. It can be used as a scalp treatment...drop a few drops in different areas then massage it through. Leave on for 20 minutes and wash as usual or use over night.

My daughter went to a birthday party and sun screen was applied before she went. She was in the pool all day and sun screen was not reapplied (we weren't with her). After work I went to pick her up and I was horrified when I seen her. She was so red.....I was so upset. We went home and she showered and I applied some Rejuveniqe at about 9:30pm. In the morning when she woke up it was almost all gone!!




This stuff is unreal. Usually products I've used never do what they say they are going to do and this oil goes above and beyond. As a bonus....it smells good....kind of lemony but not strong!

The Business Opportunity

I met with my sponsor to discuss the business opportunity. I was intrigued, to say the least. That night I was up most of the night thinking about the potential. Think about it.....This company has been in the U.S. for 2 years and Canada for 9 months!! Other direct sales companies have been around for years and years and have millions of distributors and they're still going strong!!

Monat has approximately 20 000 distributors, with approximately 5000 of those being active! We will be expanding to other countries in the future. We haven't even begun to scratch the surface! We are the first social marketing company dedicated to anti-aging hair care. The haircare industry is a $40 Billion market place with projected growth to $59 Billion within the next 3 years!! I'll take some of that!!

Monat projected their sales to be about $1 Million in their first year.........They made 25 times that!! $25 Million in their first year......Wow! This is a ground floor opportunity with a company that is debt free. Monat's sister company is a 15 year old established company in Latin America.

Monat owns their own FDA approved Research and Development laboratory, manufacturing facility and distribution centre. There is no inventory to keep, no deliveries and no parties....unless you want to.

Monat's products are competitively priced and last a long time because they are so concentrated. You don't need a lot of product to get the job done. There is a 30 day money back guarantee on these products, but guess what.......they have a 1% return rate!! That tells me people love and need this product.

To get started with your own business it costs $125 CAD, with the option to purchase a product pack. It's highly recommended to purchase a product pack....you get a ton of full size product which you can use for yourself or sell at retail price. I will make a separate post explaining the product packs.

My Experience....So Far!

My Experience with Monat.....so far!

When I seen a post on Facebook about Monat I didn't pay much attention....that was about 10 months ago! I inquired about it but wasn't ready to spend money. I was still looking for something to help thicken my hair and make it look better. Everything I researched didn't get great reviews and/or would cost the same or more than Monat.

I looked up some reviews on Monat and didn't find one negative comment! In June I decided to give it a try. What was there to lose....the worst would be wasting a bit of cash on yet another product that didn't work. I've done a lot of that the last several years!

I joined as a VIP and 2 days later my package arrived! I was excited to give it a try. The first wash I wasn't extremely impressed....seemed like a regular shampoo. Washed again and it was ok! I seen some reviews where people were in love after the first use....that wasn't me! I figured oh well I just wasted my money but whatever. I used it a third time and decided to blow dry my hair. I never blow dry my hair because it goes frizzy and doesn't look or feel smooth and shiny.

Well I can tell you I was shocked! I could run the brush through my hair while blow drying without it turning into a knotty mess! When I was finished my hair felt so smooth and it actually had some shine!! Never have I been able to blow dry and be satisfied with the result. I send my sponsor a text telling her I couldn't believe it....wow! This stuff, well I might have used another word, actually works!!



I was sold after that and met with my sponsor to discuss the business opportunity.....

To Be Continued......
