We Tried Some MONDAY Haircare Products and Here's How it Made Our Hair Feel

While one of the perks of the pandemic has been less maintenance in our beauty routines (read: lots of makeup free days), there’s nothing like a good wash of the hair to help you feel refreshed. Not only does it give you a bounce in your step, but also your hair. MONDAY Haircare is an affordable, yet luxurious line of haircare products. A big part of the company’s ethos is sustainability with their packaging and product design. Their signature pink bottles are made with recycled plastics with zero sticky labels to further sustainable packaging. MONDAY’s products are also PETA approved.

We got the chance to try out some of MONDAY’s hair products. As Lizzo once sang, we did our hair toss, checked our nails, but baby how we feelin’? Did we feel good as hell? We tell you how we really felt after testing out some products.

Lydia’s taking the gentle approach with her colour-treated hair

"I chose the gentle formula so I could treat my bleached and colour-treated hair with care. The unexpected win was that this mild SLS-free formulation actually prolonged the life of my colour, meaning I didn’t have to worry about touching up my pink hair colour as frequently! Plus, the bottles look oh-so-cute in my shower." — Lydia H., beauty writer for Slice

Tracey is banishing frizz and bringing bounce back to her hair

"Washing with these products gave me a huge reminder that I need to take better care of my hair. It helped curb the frizz I usually deal with, but my curls are totally flat because of heat damage. I’m hoping that with continued use and a few haircare tactics I have up my sleeve, I can get my hair back to full health. Otherwise, I like that these shampoos and conditioners are paraben and sulfate free, which works well with my hair type. Also, it’s super affordable and accessible — I saw them on Walmart shelves the other day, which is a plus when unexpected lockdowns happen. Also, I’m not going to lie, I like the way these products look in my shower — they’re so pretty!" — Tracey M., producer for Slice.ca

Nobody puts Dragana’s baby fine hair in a corner

“The product, from New Zealand originally, is now available in Canada! I opted for the Volume version, given that I have baby fine hair that really doesn’t want to do anything, even with product in it. This shampoo on the other hand gave me a bit of a lift, but still no middle part for me! It has a really light, floral scent and feels super gentle – almost like baby shampoo. No parabens or other bad stuff here. I loved using it and it gives my hair this whole beachy vibe, which I’m OK with.” — Dragana K., assistant editor for Slice.ca

Madison’s hair is thirsty AF for some moisturizing hair products

"Throughout quarantine my hair journey has been... interesting. On one hand, I’m not using nearly as many heating tools, as I did when I was going to the office every day. But, on the other hand, I have not been able to get regular trims, which, as we know, is necessary for tackling split-ends and maintaining healthy hair. Add in the cold Canadian winter, and it’s safe to say my hair needed some serious TLC. Monday’s MOISTURE shampoo and conditioner acts as an undo on all the not-great things we’ve done to our hair. It’s filled with super hydrating ingredients like shea butter and lauric acid rich coconut oil, which assists with nourishment and overall hair health. As someone with thick, chemically treated hair, I needed a product that was gentle and sulphate free, but also rich in ingredients to tackle damaged hair and split ends. After using both products over the course of a couple of weeks I felt my hair slowly coming back to life. I saw my natural shine return and I noticed my ends felt less dry. I was so surprised that I was getting these results with such an affordable product. Will definitely be continuing to use Monday! P.S. The bottle is super cute (I’m a sucker for all things Pink)." — Madison G-R., social strategist for Slice
