Let’s talk buildup for a second. The number one question I get when I talk about buildup with my customers is if MONAT products don’t coat your hair in waxes and silicones, why would we have buildup? So, what exactly does cause buildup on our hair and scalp (whether or not we’re using MONAT)?

1) DIRT, DUST, PET HAIR, ETC.

Your scalp collects all of the dirt, dust, dog hair, cat hair, etc that’s floating around and even your best shampooing efforts can fall short when cleansing. ⁣

2) PRODUCTS

If you’re not using MONAT exclusively (a lot of people don’t), you’re continuously fighting the process and adding more buildup to your hair — especially if you’re still using your favorite Target dry shampoo. ⁣

3) ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS

Environmental pollutants are damaging to your hair and scalp. Studies have shown that dust molecules found in pollution are so small that they get stuck and are found in the cells at the base of the hair follicles, which in turn could affect hair growth and texture. When it comes to your scalp, the long-term effects of pollution could be more serious.

“The impact of pollution on our scalps can trigger infection, scalp build-up, pruritus (a condition where your scalp is uncomfortably itchy) and may lead to hair loss over time if not corrected.”

— Trichologist, Penny James⁣

So — what can we do? Add the Purifying Duo into your routine every few washes (more or less depending on your lifestyle + how dirty your scalp gets). ⁣⁣

The Purifying Vinegar Shampoo is a high-performance shampoo infused with apple cider vinegar and potent AHAs to help reduce excess oil, stubborn product buildup, and environmental pollutants that cause lackluster hair. And no, you won’t reek like vinegar after you use it⁣.

The Scalp Purifying Scrub is an innovative 2-in-1 scrub and shampoo helps dissolve dead skin cells, stubborn product buildup, and environmental pollutants while balancing moisture and leaving strands cleansed and fresh. ⁣

Use these two together to help keep your scalp fresh, clean, and healthy.
