Oily Hair? Stop Washing Daily
And here's what to do instead:
I’ve been diving into scalp health since starting as a Monat Market Partner, because I wanted to know WHY these products work so well. IE: why is it that I had oily roots but bone dry hair on day 2 using different products, but after switching to Monat I was able to push my washes to every 5-7 days?
It turns out there is actually a very good explanation (and you guessed it, I’m going to tell you about it).
Most salon hair care brands (and brands you’d find in Target) contain silicones or waxes - even if you are opting for the non toxic or paraben-free ones. These silcones and waxes create build up on your scalp, mixing with other environmental pollutants (like cleaning products or even things from the air outside), as well as sweat. This build up can clog pores and hair follicles and also stimulate oil secretion to try and protect the follicle from potential damage.
Monat hair care focuses on scalp health, meaning it prioritizes cleaning and nourishing the scalp for a healthy microbiome. All the shampoos and conditioners are formulated to support healthy, strong, and nourished hair from the roots. The shampoo (every line) focuses on cleaning away the build-up from other products, environmental pollutants, and sweat, and leaves behind a clean scalp that can finally breathe.
If you have ever tried the shampoo, you know that right after washing your hair will almost feel dry in the shower, and that’s because you’ve gotten all those waxes and other junk out. Once you condition, you know it feels silky smooth, and that’s because the conditioner is providing nutrients to the strands (from the middle down to the ends) without even having to touch the scalp.
This is what some of my clients have said recently about switching to Monat from other low-tox hair products:


I’m not kidding when I say the shampoo & conditioner you use MATTER. Your scalp is also your skin, and if you’re not taking care of it like you take care of the rest of your body, it’s going to give you problems. Those problems are your hair’s cry for help!
