Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Shampoo

What it is:A luxuriously hydrating daily shampoo to undo and prevent damage. What it does:Only strong hair can grow into longer hair so you’re free to wear any style. That’s why the strand-strengthening Monoi Oil an ancient recipe made from the rejuvenating Tahitian Tiare Gardenia Flower and Coprah Coconut Oil is a must-have to help repair fine, delicate, or chemically-treated hair. Combined with a fortifying, anti-breakage formula, the Monoi Repairing Shampoo cleanses and detangles while restoring strength to even the most distressed hair. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates - Phthalates What else you need to know:This product is free of silicones, alcohol, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes and petrochemicals. For over 2,000 years, Tahitians have used Monoi Oil for its natural reparative properties that undo and prevent damage from the sun, sea, and surf. Using ingredients that only grow in Tahiti, Monoi Oil is made by taking 15 freshly picked Tiare Gardenia Flower blossoms and combining them with 15 ounces of Coprah Coconut Oil over a 15 day sacred ritual, passed down only through an oral tradition. Research results:In independent studies conducted on instrumental results versus control when used with Monoi Repairing Shampoo for 30 minutes: - 96% less breakage after only 1 use - 85% better conditioning and detangling after only 1 use - 13 times longer hair life after only 1 use

monoi repairing shampoo and conditioner
-06.14.13
I was a little unsure trying a shampoo and conditioner that can repair and moisturize without weighing my hair down. I have very fine hair that is easily weighed down by most products. This Carol's Daughter Monoi shampoo and conditioner is great. It moisturizes very well without adding weight to my hair.

great smell but average results
-06.08.13
Quick Take: hydrating, good for daily use
I bought the Monoi shampoo and conditioner. After finishing both bottles, I will not be buying again. Product is ok but the price is too high for average product. I did not notice a difference in breakage and I still need to use other leave-in products to make my hair look smooth.

since i've been using Carol's Daughter products the Monoi line is the only line that has worked for my hair. My hair stays clean longer, is softer, has great shine, and i have noticed a significant drop in breakage and shedding

Amazing product, terrible packaging
-05.23.13
Quick Take: smoothing, good for daily use
I have wavy/curly, fine and generally soft hair which has a tendency to get flyaways and frizz. This shampoo is great. It doesn't weigh my hair down and my hair seems to cooperate more readily when I'm using this product. I see less flyaways. I cannot attest to the product's prevention of damage or strengthening of my hair because I couldn't really tell (and this isn't a huge problem for me) but I liked the way my hair looked, felt and smelt after using this product.
As I've indicated in my title, the only minus of this product is the packaging. I obsessively made sure that I tightly closed the product after every use. One morning my bathroom was extraordinarily fragrant. I sniffed around for the culprit and finally I see it, my Monoi shampoo bottle had tipped onto its side and dumped 75% of its contents all over my shower. I was very bummed. Would I buy this again? Absolutely. Will I be transferring it to a different bottle? Yes.

Quick Take: i can't tell because it smells awful
The smell is awful. I hate it. I don't even know if it is good because I used it once. WAY to much money for how awful it is.

Saved my hair!
-05.20.13
Quick Take: hydrating, smoothing, good for daily use, good for damaged hair
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This shampoo has saved my hair from having to just chop it off & call it quits. My hair is very long & we tried everything! From natural, organic, to chemical shampoos with no success. The first time i used this shampoo.... i was like... OMG! my hair is back to the way it used to be! My hair before was suffering from knots & mats every single day. But now it is smooth, no knots & so soft! I am so happy to be able to wear my hair down & feel beautiful again. <3

My hair has never been healthier! I have tried a number of sulfate and paraben free products... this is by far the best. My hair smells great, and has become so healthy. I color treat and use heat on my hair daily, so it was important for me to find a product that would restore some health into my hair... this is definitely it

Buy it & Try it, It's Amazing!
-05.10.13
Quick Take: hydrating
The smell is wonderful, the shampoo hydrates your hair (without leaving it greasy) and protects your color. I've tried Aveda, Redken, Kerastase, etc. and I think this is the best. Great for dry, curly, color-treated, wavy hair.

Love this shampoo
-05.09.13
Quick Take: hydrating, fresh smelling without overpowering!
I have fine hair. Love the smell and the clean, fresh weightlessness. Doesn't seem to strip the color from my hair. No scalp irritation, which is usual with anything with strong fragrance.

Absolutely luxurious

Quick Take: hydrating, smoothing, good for daily use, repairing
I must say, I got this full size bottle shampoo after I tried the sampler - I just could not resist. It makes your hair absolutely perfect - properly nourished, silky, nice to touch, easy to manage. And breakage - it really does disappear. Just a healthy luxurious look. Must have

My hair is extremely oily so it was with some trepidation that I tried this for fear it might make my hair even more oily but this was great! Left my hair full of moisture but squeaky clean at the same time. Smells heavenly too.

Not my favorite

Although this is sulfur free it stripped by blowout. It might be okay if you don't color treat or use the Brazilian blowout. If you do, I wouldn't recommend it.

One of the best shampoos out there!
-05.02.13
Quick Take: hydrating, smoothing, good for daily use
Several years ago I bought this shampoos while travelling in the USA (I live in Canada) and I recently bought it again. I have tried many, many shampoos and conditioners and Carol's Daughter is still the best. It minimizes breakage, makes my hair silky and shinny and smells wonderful. I only wish that I could buy it in BC. Also, I have let my daughters, friends and aunts try it and they all agree.

-04.29.13
Quick Take: hydrating
I've only used this once but it was really great. My hair felt very clean but not stripped. But also didn't feel overly oiled like it wasn't clean. It was pretty great. I will keep using. I also noticed a lot less tangles and knots. My curls definitely popped and I did notice I saw much less hair coming out than when I use other shampoos. Btw I have natural African American hair (no perm).

Didn't love it...
-04.22.13
A friend of mine told me about this line and how amazing it was and how healthy her hair was - so I figured I would give it a shot. I have blonde, thinner hair (thinning the older I get!). I have noticed more breakage lately, so I was willing to try anything. I tried it for a few weeks and sadly, I didn't love it for me and my hair type. My hair felt dry after I used the shampoo - and even drier after I used the conditioner that went with it. I was sad that this didn't work for me - but it worked wonders for my friend with dark, course, thick hair... So I would recommend it to people with hair in those categories!
