Which MONAT Products to Start With — Picks by Hair Type

Recommendations by hair type

Everyone's hair is different — these are starting points, not prescriptions. The picks for textures that aren't mine come from people in my life who actually have that hair, and I'll always say so.

Good for basically everyone: IR Clinical shampoo + conditioner

Day 2 hair after five miles of wind, on Instagram

If I could only hand someone one thing, it's this shampoo and conditioner — popular across basically every hair type and what I'd start you on. It's got this minty, refreshing smell that I can still catch after my shower, over everything else I use. The full IR system adds the scalp serum, which I love — but that's step two, not step one. Separate from all of that: I finish with a few drops of Gloss Mode Dry Oil on the ends (the dry oil specifically — I don't use the rest of that line... yet 😉).

Not sure / mixed situation

Oily roots with dry ends? Postpartum shedding? Just confused? That's most people, honestly.

Message me the word ROUTINE and I'll build you one — real answers, no pressure.

Curly, coily, color-treated and more are coming — I only list picks confirmed by people who actually have that hair, and I'm collecting those answers now. If that's you and you have a favorite, I genuinely want to hear it.

The makeup (it passed)

I went in skeptical and filmed the try-on. These are the ones that stayed on my counter:

Face

Skin tint — not sticky, and it looks like I'm wearing highlighter when I'm not
Brightening concealer — my all-time favorite of everything they make
Barrier booster — the skincare step under it all
Translucent powder — sets everything without flattening it
Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive — one bottle, four jobs. Technically a hair oil, I use it on my skin more. Pricey up front, but a few drops per use means one bottle lasts forever. full review →

Brows & lashes

Brow gel — the consistency is right and my brows look fluffier, not crunchy
Mascara — it has IR Clinical in it, which is a wild crossover and it's so good

the honest part

How this actually works

Nobody explained this to me simply, so here it is — the whole thing, no fine print energy.

These products come from MONAT

MONAT is a haircare and wellness company that sells through people instead of store shelves. That's it — that's the model. The products exist, I use them daily, and my whole shelf page shows exactly what's in my rotation.

The lawsuits, the objections, the receipts → the full fact-check

Yes, I earn a commission

When you buy through my link, I earn a percentage. It doesn't change your price. I tell you this upfront because you deserve to know, and because I'd rather you trust me than wonder. I only recommend what I actually use — and if something isn't working for you, tell me. I'll help you return it, no weirdness.

What "VIP" means, in plain words

It's MONAT's membership: $10 to join (and you get a $20 coupon for your next order, so it pays for itself immediately). VIPs get 15% off everything, every day — 20% off on orders over $125 — shipping is free when your order is $100+, and $5.99 when it's less, a $25 birthday reward, points on purchases, and early access to flash sales.

The catch to know about: VIP works on a delivery schedule called Flexship (every 30 or 60 days). You can change what's in it and when it ships anytime, and there are free-product bonuses on your 2nd–4th orders of $84+. My honest take: if you'll order even a few times a year, VIP is the obvious math. If you want one single product once, just buy retail — and if you ever want out of the schedule, tell me and I'll walk you through it myself.

Want to sell it instead of just buy it?

That's called being a Market Partner — it's what I do. Joining starts at $99 for the Starter Kit (samples + materials), and most people pick a product pack instead — $149 to $650 depending on size — where the bulk of what you pay turns into actual product in your hands (the packs run 52–63% below retail value). After that it's a yearly renewal fee of $49.99 (that covers your back office and personal storefront site).

What it actually involves: using the products, talking about them honestly, and being patient — it's a real thing you build, not a lottery ticket, and I'll never pretend otherwise.

If you're curious, message me the word PARTNER and I'll give you the real picture — what I love about it, what's hard, and whether it fits your life. Buying and selling are separate choices, and "no" is a complete answer.
