I’m always on the lookout for great hair products and recently put the Monday Haircare moisture shampoo and smooth conditioner to the test. Keep reading for my insights into their effectiveness, pricing, and where you can find the best deal.

The complete range of Monday Haircare comprises shampoo and conditioner variants such as volume, gentle, moisture, colour protect, smooth, clarify, and repair. Additionally, it includes dry shampoo options in volume, brunette, and original, along with hair gummies. However, it appears that only the smooth, volume, and moisture variants of the shampoo and conditioner are currently available in South Africa.

Monday Haircare ingredients include shea butter, vitamin E, coconut oil, provitamin B5, ginger extract, rice protein, amino acids, keratin, and grapefruit extract.
Selling Price And Stockists
Monday Haircare can be found at Clicks, Takealot, and Superbalist. It is currently priced at R200 per 350ml bottle at Clicks. I recommend purchasing from Clicks because they frequently offer 3 for 2 specials. This deal could allow you to buy three bottles for R400, saving you a lot of money.
My Review
Honestly I was a little bit sceptical spending R200 each on a bottle of shampoo and conditioner, I usually spend half that amount. I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely the Monday Haircare range is.
There are a number of things that really stand out for me when it comes to this brand.
I love the pretty pink bottles that are sturdy (no more bottles toppling over in the shower) and the fact that it is a pump bottle. You turn the pump to open and close (so important when travelling), and on the top of each one is a C or S so you can easily see which is shampoo and conditioner.
The bottles are manufactured from 20% recycled and are 100% recyclable (including the pump), plus their website states that they will soon be refillable. Monday Haircare is vegan and certified by PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals).
My hair is soft and feels fantastic, it truly is the salon feeling. The product has a subtle, pleasing floral fragrance. Monday Haircare lathers beautifully and you only need a very small amount of product in comparison to other brands. I have quite long hair so I go through shampoo and conditioner quickly. I can get by with about a quarter of the amount compared to other brands. I was initially a bit concerned about how little product comes out with each pump, thinking I would have to really have a go at it to get enough but since I only have to use a tiny amount two pumps is plenty for my long hair.
In addition to how far the product goes my hair stays cleaner and looking good for longer which is a big bonus for me. The more low maintenance and easy my hair care is the happier I am.
Pros And Cons
Pros
- Salon quality with great results – soft and clean hair that stays looking great longer.
- Only a small amount of product is needed making it last longer.
- Handy pump bottle that can open and close, with C or S on top of pump making it easy to see which is shampoo and conditioner.
- 20% recycled plastic that is 100% recyclable, with refills coming soon.
- Vegan
- Cruelty free certified by PETA
Cons
- At R200 per 350ml bottle it is on the pricey side for shampoo and conditioner, however, with using such a little product it will go much further than other brands so it will save you in the long run.
Monday Haircare stands out for delivering impressive results while upholding a strong commitment to social responsibility. The brand’s dedication to sustainability is evident through 20% recycled plastic recyclable packaging and PETA certification for cruelty-free practices. I highly recommend trying out Monday Haircare for yourself to see its superb results.
Monday Haircare sounds expensive, but maybe I should give it a try.
It is pricey to buy but it really goes a long way, so it lasts a long time!
Hi how can I purchase the Monday Haircare products please. How much does it cost. I need my hair to grow.
Hi Rashieda – you can get Monday haircare from Clicks – hopefully they will have a 3 for 2 special 🙂 I paid R200 per bottle, but it lasts a very long time because you use so little!
