Product Information

With several major beauty awards from the likes of Cosmo and Glamour, and praise from everyone from Vogue to Vanity Fair, MONDAY HAIRCARE is cult haircare without the cult price tag. MONDAY is also now the most- followed haircare brand on TikTok with over 200,000 followers and counting. Vegan and cruelty-free: Monday Haircare products are vegan and cruelty-free, which may appeal to consumers who prefer to use products that are not tested on animals.

Overall we consider Monday Smooth Shampoo likely to improve hair quality due to the inclusion of coconut oil and glycerin, but we do not recommend the product overall due to all of the questionable additive ingredients. So, if you have very sensitive skin, you must avoid it. As my skin is a combination and not that sensitive, I did not see any effects.Glycerin can improve skin barrier function and reduce dandruff according to results from a 2014 clinical trial . Coconut oil is one of the best botanical ingredients for shampoo, as it was shown in a medical review published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science to prevent hair damage and reduce hair protein loss “remarkably” in both damaged and undamaged hair. Monday Smooth Conditioner has a similar formulation to Monday Smooth Shampoo. It contains coconut oil, fragrance, phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, benzyl alcohol which we already reviewed in the previous section.

Monday Haircare Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner now have a permanent spot in my bathroom, and I can’t wait to see what else the brand comes up with. If you’re looking for your next shampoo/conditioner pairing, shop Monday’s U.S. launch and get the best set for your hair type.

BHT is another preservative ingredient, and as we documented in our review of Redken Shampoo , this preservative has a metabolite that was shown to promote tumors in animal studies. Behentrimonium chloride and sodium benzoate are also synthetic preservatives, making six different preservatives in this conditioner which seems like overkill in our opinion. Keratin, a deeply hydrating protein, binds to the hair, offering protection against heat styling and environmental elements. It repairs damaged hair, adds shine, and reduces frizz and split ends. Grapefruit extract The ingredients for Monday Smooth Shampoo are shown above. This formulation does include ingredients that are shown in clinical studies to improve hair quality.

We utilise natural ingredients such as invigorating ginger extract, hydrating coconut oil, nourishing rice protein and panthenol, softening vitamin E, plus shea butter to seal and add shine. Though it is good enough that Monday shampoos don’t have SLS and parabens, silicone is also a potent chemical. Limited availability: Monday’s products may not be available in all areas, as the brand is still relatively new and may not be widely distributed.Cocamidopropyl betaine is a synthetic detergent ingredient that won an award called Allergen of the Year in 2004 according to a medical review of the ingredient, due to how frequently it caused skin sensitivity reactions. Rice protein, a gluten-free molecule, enhances moisture retention in the hair. It improves flexibility and strength, resulting in healthier and more resilient hair. Amino acids

Panthenol is an effective ingredient unique to the conditioner that was shown in a medical review published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science to hydrate the skin, which suggests it can improve scalp and hair health. Affordable: Monday Haircare is a relatively affordable haircare brand compared to some of the high-end salon brands available.As people are becoming more aware and sustainable, it is important for brands to endorse such initiatives. Monday is a hair care brand with beautifully designed products. The brand sells shampoo and conditioner, has won several beauty awards including Glamour’s award for “Best Drugstore Shampoo and Conditioner for Frizz.”
