Okay, so I exaggerate a lot. Like, “OMG my legs hurt so bad after leg-day at the gym, that I cannot even walk.” Really, Suz? You cannot walk? If I set a piece of gluten-free, magical, no-calorie brownie sundae here in front of you, you’re saying that you couldn’t walk over to it? Yeah… I thought so.
But here’s the thing. I’m not exaggerating when I say that a bottle of shampoo (and it’s friend Mr. Conditioner) changed my life. You have all heard me rant and rave about my hair problems. I was blessed with some sort of hormonal change in my late 20’s, giving me this completely wack-a-do ‘do. Straight, sleek and flat in the front. Party, craziness, white-girl-dreads and oodles of volume in the back. I have tried over 20 different products and NOTHING has helped. Until Monat.
One of my college friends recently asked to sample a new shampoo line. She swore up and down that I would love it because of what it would do to my hair. Then she threw in the fact that it was organically-based, not tested on animals and made right here in the good ole USA. While the results ended up speaking for themselves - the fact that it is a clean and organic product is what really sparked my interest. I mean, I never really thought about what kind of crap I was putting in my hair on a daily basis… until now.
So how about the results?
Now, first of all, I really cannot believe that I was even going out in public with the back of my hair looking like the nappy mess that it was. Secondly, even my friends are experiencing amazing results!
So here’s the thing. I tried it. I forced my friends to try it (to prove that I wasn’t crazy, or some sort of fluke. I mean, no one wants to fall victim to a too-good-to-be-true fade right?) And I have yet to meet anyone that this product did not help. So… I decided that I didn’t have enough to do (you know, with running multiple businesses, blogging, moving and the impending wedding season…) so why not sell this miracle product as well?!

A few questions may be zooming through your mind right now… like, how long does the volume last? Girls, I am going 2-3 days with lasting volume. These pictures were taking after a full day, plus sleeping on it, plus brunch:
Here’s what you need to do: Try the Volume System for volume (duh!), more shine, less frizz/fly-aways/breakage. Try the Balance System for sleek and smooth styles with more brilliance, strength, vitality and overall hair health. All products come with a 30 day money back guarantee, so you can order with confidence. Don’t like it after trying it for a couple of weeks? No problem! Send it on back!
On to the deets:

What great results! Can’t wait to try these products out! They can’t come fast enough! I would love my frizz to be gone before the humid summer starts up in full swing!
Susan @ 2catsandchloe says
YAY! Your sample should be there tomorrow-ish! I put it in the mail on Tuesday! Woot! Can’t wait to see what you think!
Kristi says
Do you send out samples? My hair is really damaged. I like to try it before I buy it if possible. By the way…I am a mito mom as well. How cool (well…not cool) is that? We need to talk girl…about many things!
Lynda@fitnessmomwinecountry says
Great product, I love that you had your friends try it out. LOL Thanks for sharing
Susan @ 2catsandchloe says
Hahaha yeah… I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t just crazy. Had to drag the friends in on this before I began selling it!
Can’t wait to try it!
Did you, or your friends, use extra products, or tools on their hair?
Susan @ 2catsandchloe says
I know we chatted about this over dinner tonight - but yes and no… use whatever you normally use. If you normally blow it dry, do that. If you normally air dry, do that. If you style with a round brush (that leslie apparently hates) do that! 🙂 It’s the best way to test and compare results!
That sounds AMAZING! My hair is hopeless!
Susan @ 2catsandchloe says
Girl this will make your hair amazing!! I haven’t met anyone yet who hasn’t seen great results with this product!
Have heard good things about this! I’d love to try the Replenish Mask.
Susan @ 2catsandchloe says
Yes! While I love the Monat volumizing products I’ve been using - I’m excited to try the masque for the first time this weekend! 🙂
I can’t wait to get mine! My second day hair is just not happening
Susan @ 2catsandchloe says
Did you order Maria? Please let me know if you have any questions… this is seriously THE BEST product I have ever used! Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for stopping by the blog! 🙂
I hate the health of my hair right now! I’m looking hard at option 2!
