MONAT for Oily Hair & Scalp
An oily scalp with dry ends is one of the most frustrating combinations, because the two halves of your hair want opposite things. Treat them as two different jobs and the problem gets much easier.
The scalp needs a light, balancing cleanse used often enough; the ends need moisture kept strictly below the roots.
What to look for
Balancing shampoo
BE BALANCED™ targets the scalp environment directly.
Lightweight conditioner
Ends only, never the roots.
Volumizing cleanse
REVIVE removes the residue that makes oily hair look flatter.
Root styling
Mousse buys you an extra day between washes.

How to use the products
