Carol's Daughter Monoi Line promises a 96% reduction after the first use
  • chica1
    I know this is all hype but I did buy the product because of the smell then I began to wonder how could one know if there was a 96% reduction in breakage after one use. I'm guessing the hydrolyzed silk is supposed to help prevent breakage.  After one use I noticed a lot of dryness but I did try the product a few more times to ensure it wasn't a fluke.  Here's the advertised hype from their website:

    96% LESS BREAKAGE AFTER 1 USE!



    This deeply repairing treatment nourishes your hair from the root to ends to undo unwanted damage and prevent it in the future.



    Strengthening your hair is the only way to lengthen it so you can do
    whatever you want with it. To really fortify fine, fragile or chemically
    treated hair requires major nourishment found in the Monoi Repairing
    Hair Mask. Added to the rejuvenating Monoi Oil – a repairing Tahitian
    blend of the Tiare Gardenia Flower and Coprah Coconut Oil – is
    rebuilding Bamboo Water and protective Hydrolyzed Silk.



    PLUS, No Parabens, No Petroleum, No Mineral Oil, No Artificial Colors

    I haven't tried this line, but heard a lot of great reviews. I always wanted to try it, but they don't sell it in my whole foods

    We just wrote a post that talked about how strengthening/breakage reduction claims are supported for hair products: http://thebeautybrains.com/2012/11/29/does-the-aveda-invati-system-really-work/

    Although 96% sounds like a lot, many good conditioners will give similarly high numbers depending on how the test is done. Pantene and Tresemme, for example, will work the same.
