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.

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.

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.

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.

There is a ethical dilemma with Monat and mostly ALL MLM's targeting lower income and minorities...

@user-qk7sm4yf2k

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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’ve never used their products, but this video is very informative, thank you for sharing your thoughts!

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.

I think the idea that you are claiming that the lawsuit proved none of the hair loss was caused by Monat is extremely mis-leading. Monat did their own testing which claimed that it didnt. Thats extremely bias. Further the agreement that was signed with the Florida AG did not address the issue of hair loss it address advertising. I understand it worked for you but for you to speak on something without providing all the information is misleading. look at your own comments about peoples experiences. Its ok for you to say I didnt lose hair but for you to boldly say to all of these people that it wasn't actually Monat is irresponsible.

Couldn't agree with you more, Megan. It's really sad seeing the amount of her subscribers just in this comment section alone that went out and purchased Monat products based on her recommendations, only to end up losing their hair (along with a lot of money) in the process. This video was just incredibly disappointing; and, as you stated, irresponsible.

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.

Do you know a shampoo or mask for a cool beige blond and not white blond?

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

Glad to hear it turned out to be false cause that is a lot scarier.

Are your nails acrylic?

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 shit ruined my hair!! How do I get it back?!

Ok…I must be one of the few that has commented that uses Monat and loves it. It’s been a little over a year for me and I don’t sell the product. MLMs are not for me because of the pay structure but typically I find that their products are actually genuinely good. Things I’ve learned while using it is that you have to double cleanse! Just as you do when you wash your face…one wash to remove product buildup and once to actually clean the scalp. If it feels greasy you need to wash again until it’s super sudsy. Your hair will not be super soft and silky after you wash it but that’s because it strips the hair down to it’s natural state and doesn’t put a film over top like other products to that make it feel that way. In regards to the hair falling out…I will say more hair falls out than when I used to use other products but my hair is much more thick than it used to be. My thoughts are that 1) you are washing your hair much less often so once you finally do wash it there’s bound to be shedding of a hair cycle 2) you vigorously wash the scalp to clear hair follicles (like you explained in the video) 3) my hair doesn’t shed hardly at all when I brush or style it…Only when I wash it. So I think if you are using it correctly than it’s a great product! My hair is so thick, shiny and full.

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.

I had a rash all over my scalp after using Monet. And I am sure it’s the fragrance they add. They list fragrance but not what the fragrance is. It’s over priced garbage. There is a law suit that is progressing in Miami against Monet.

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❤️

Dang it. I may just stick to the oil and give the rest away!
