MONDAY Haircare CLARIFY Shampoo with Grapefruit Extract for a Deeper Clean

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really liked using this shampoo. My scalp felt clean and my hair bouncy and voluminous after use. It doesn't have a strong scent which I appreciate as well. The package is also cute!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Despite its name and claims, Monday Clarify + Grapefruit Extract Shampoo is really not a clarifying or deep cleanse shampoo. It does not adequately cleanse existing build up, unless there was minimal to no build up to begin with. This shampoo is a perfectly fine everyday shampoo for a gentle cleanse. If you shampoo your hair everyday, and do not use heavy products, this is the shampoo for the task. The bottle is beautiful: a neutral pink color in a minimalist rectangle design. The pump works well to dispense product evenly. Although one issue is that if you buy both the Monday Clarify shampoo and conditioner, they are so minimalist they are difficult to tell apart! The scent is a spa-like white tea and grapefruit scent. Calming, elegant hotel scent. It's not a super strong scent (think moderate low like a wellness brand) but lovely. The texture of the product is regular shampoo texture with good body and spreadability. Not runny or too thick—just right! This is an issue free shampoo except for its misleading claims as a clarifying shampoo. It does not have sulfates which also means it does not have cleansing strength. It does have salicylic acid but not to a meaningful degree. This shampoo would get five stars if it was marketed as a gentle cleanser shampoo. But it is not which accounts for my three star review. In my opinion the addition of ceramides is likely a meaningless marketing claim. Ceramides is an expensive ingredient that already is used in very weak amounts in most skincare where it has the most benefit. I can't imagine it being added in meaningful amounts in wash off haircare. Even if it was, ceramides are skin barrier support ingredient that works by integrating with and reinforcing the skin's lipid matrix over time. I can't say for sure but my guess is ceramides are not a compelling ingredient for haircare. And if they are, shampoo is likely not the form because its function is to carry oil away rather than to deposit ingredients.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product has sturdy packaging and makes it easy to fit in the shower with other products. It is a good price for the quality and leaves my hair feeling soft and silky.

i actually threw this in the trash!

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. But tbh I'm obsessed with this conditioner! It leaves my hair feeling so soft and hydrated without weighing it down. I have thick hair, so it's hard to find a conditioner that doesn't make my hair look frizzy and dry, but this one is perfect. It also smells amazing and the price is great. If you're looking for a conditioner that will leave your hair feeling healthy and hydrated, give this a try!
