MY CURRENT HAIR CARE ROUTINE
Alright, I have been wanting to write a post on my hair care routine for a while now, but I wanted to really have a good routine down before I just started writing and essentially just sharing the products I use. I’m happy to say that now, at the age of 28 (almost 29), I finally have a solid hair care routine! So let’s just jump right in!
I started using products from MONAT back in April of 2019 and I have to be honest, I was pretty hesitant about how I’d feel about them. I’d heard so many mixed reviews and had so many doubts going into it, but you know what, I’m SO glad that I decided to make the switch. I can honestly say that my hair now is the healthiest it’s been in YEARS!
While I’ve tried a few different shampoos from MONAT, my favorite has to be the Volumizing Revive Shampoo. It adds the perfect amount of fullness and volume to my hair which is great because my hair is naturally pretty fine. Although I have a lot of hair, it’s still really thin so having a product that gives me fullness is key! I usually tend to wash may hair 1-2 times each week and while my hair used to get really oily and have a greasy look to it if I went more than 1-2 days without washing, I can now go 4-5 days without washing and my hair still stays nice and fresh! The trick to using MONAT shampoo is to make sure you wash your hair TWICE! One of the great things about these products is that they’re so concentrated so a little really goes a long way. I wash my hair twice with the Revive Shampoo, and I only use about a nickel to a quarter amount each time. Typically the first wash won’t get sudsy, but once you rinse and apply the second wash, you’ll notice a lot more bubbles.
Next comes the Revitalize Conditioner. This little gem is also part of the Volume line and I like to apply this alongside the Replenish Masque if my hair is feeling like it needs a bit more hydration. It makes my hair feel like butter! It gets so soft and smooth and feels like an absolute dream. (Not to mention, all of these products smell incredible too!) I typically let that combo sit in my hair while I do the rest of my showering and shaving and then rinse with cool water.
Once I’m out, I have my four go-to’s that I swear by! First up, I spray a little bit of the Intense Repair Treatment to the areas I feel like need a little more TLC. For me, that tends to be the areas around my face from where I experienced a lot of postpartum hair loss after having Hunter. I have noticed a huge different in new growth in those areas since adding this little gem into my haircare routine and I pretty much never want to go without it!
Next, I apply a little mixture of Rejuvabeads (for mending split ends and protecting the hair shaft from future damage) and Restore Leave-In Conditioner to help hydrate my locks while also taming any flyaways I have too. Then to finish it off, I add it a pea sized amount of the Blow Out Cream to help protect my hair if I blow-dry or heat style it, while also restoring the softness and shine of my hair!
