So, does this shampoo work for people who have dry hair? I did some digging and found out that many people with extremely dry hair were not happy with the shampoo. The people with curly and stubborn dry hair did not find it very effective. So, we can say that this shampoo is not for all hair types. I would not say that this is a bad shampoo altogether, but it just does not live up to my expectations. Though it is good enough that Monday shampoos don’t have SLS and parabens, silicone is also a potent chemical.

Our SMOOTH range was named ‘Best Drugstore Shampoo and Conditioner for Frizz’ in the 2021 Glamour Beauty Awards, ‘Best Shampoo and Conditioner for Smooth Hair’ in the The Knot 2021 Beauty Awards, ‘Best for Frizz’ in the Her Campus 2021 Beauty Awards, and received a Clin D’oeil 2021 Experts’ Choice Beauty Award. This shampoo is formulated with effective and non-toxic plant-based compounds like aloe vera juice and argan oil . It also contains rosemary leaf oil which was shown in a clinical trial published in the Phytotherapy Research journal to promote hair growth. Glycerin can improve skin barrier function and reduce dandruff according to results from a 2014 clinical trial . 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.”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. I loved how it made my hair feel, and it also felt very clean after showering. All the Monday shampoos have a very luxurious feel. 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. 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. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that is known to protect cells from free radicals, and has been known to help support a healthy scalp and hair growth. It’s found readily in nuts and broccoli, but handily, we’ve also included it in our range. (You should probably still eat your broccoli.)

The ingredients for Monday Smooth Shampoo are shown above. This formulation does include ingredients that are shown in clinical studies to improve hair quality.

A TikTok beauty influencer tried Monday products once and claims to have experienced hair shedding: @baallondon Most likely will NOT use again 🥲 #hairtok #shampooreview #hairfall #hairtutorial #mondayshampoo #hairtransformation ♬ Yoncé - Atsuko Okatsuka Monday Conditioner Review Though there is not much research on the effects of silicone on bleached hair, people’s claims are pretty strong. The main thing I always look for in any rinse-out hair products are color-safe formulas. I have subtle brunette highlights that required bleaching (and also haven’t been touched up in a year), so I do my best to keep them from going brassy or brittle. While my last haircut was my preferred short bob, I’ve since grown my hair out to a much longer style. None of it has been trimmed, so I try to keep it as healthy as possible with my shower hair care routine.Just as their names imply, Smooth Shampoo and Conditioner both impart soft, shiny hair and cut down on frizz. I usually can’t even be bothered to use conditioner and try to find extra hydrating shampoos to make up for that skipped step, but I’ve happily used both bottles every time I wash my hair. I’m a fan of how the combined formulas give a glossy finish to my hair without weighing down my waves. Although this isn’t the volumizing duo, my air-dried hair still maintains tons of lift and movement (and smoothness, of course). To enhance the results, I gently towel-dry with my trusted Aquis Rapid Dry towel and sleep on a silk pillowcase to cut down on tangles and preserve shine. (The ones from Branché are amazing and hold up best after multiple washes.)
