Shampoo + Conditioner

Now in a bigger size, 50ml more for the same price

Carefully crafted by a team of scientists and dermatologists, this strengthening duo takes the traditional shampoo and conditioner to dizzy new heights. Mild enough for everyday use, each stars a nourishing cocktail of vegan, plant-based ingredients, together with an aromatherapeutic blend of essential oils, to cleanse and replenish your scalp and strands. Perfect for all hair types – especially fine and flyaway hair.

If you tend to shy away from shampoo for fear of a dry scalp and frizzy strands, our Strengthening Silk Protein Shampoo is the refreshing antidote to everything that has gone before. It may not foam as much as other varieties, but this means it won’t leave hair dry and brittle either. Its star ingredients include coconut-derived cleansing agents that are of 100% natural origin, together with hydrating aloe vera and strengthening vegan silk peptides.

If you thought conditioner was just meant for the ends of your hair and not your scalp, our Strengthening Essence-Conditioner will make you think again. Turning the traditional idea of conditioner on its head (pun intended) we called this an ‘essence-conditioner’ because of its unique lightweight texture – similar to a skincare ‘essence’ inspired by K-beauty regimes. It treats and nourishes the scalp-skin and strands, without feeling heavy or leaving the hair looking flat.

Monpure Strengthening Silk Protein Shampoo and Conditioner

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING INSTITUTE WINNER 2021

Best anti-breakage shampoos and conditioners

The top-scorer for anti-breakage, 87% of testers noticed less hair fallout and 80% said hair felt noticeably stronger. Hair also felt softer after use, making it easier to detangle and style, while those with natural curls saw a reduction in flyaways. An impressive 93% said they would continue to use these products after the trial.

How this was tested by Good Housekeeping Institute:

500 testers, with self-diagnosed mild to extreme hair loss or thinning, received a shampoo and conditioner set to trial for one month. The products aimed to correct one of the three main causes of hair loss: anti-breakage, hair-thickening and root- or scalp-stimulation.

Testers made a note of any differences they saw to their scalp and hair condition over the trial period, as well as how hair felt after each wash. The panel included women with a range of hair types, from straight to afro hair.

In the GHI lab, they also assessed anti-breakage shampoos by combing through hair switches that were treated with the product(s) and comparing them to untreated hair switches. The easier the treated switches were to comb, the less risk of hair breakages and fall out in real life.

Monpure London excelled in all the categories above.

Ingredient Science:

Aloe Vera
You might already be familiar with this ingredient as a popular after-sun or sunburn remedy. It’s a succulent plant that grows in arid landscapes around the world and is full of what’s known as polysaccharides which are famous for their hydrating and anti-inflammatory powers (so it’s a hero for issues like irritation, itching and dryness).

Argan Oil
This popular haircare ingredient is produced from Argan trees in Morocco and is packed with essential fatty acids and vitamin E to boost elasticity and shine. What makes it particularly great for hair is that it’s lighter than other plant-based oils, so doesn’t leave it feeling greasy or heavy.

Coconut Oil
Packed with essential vitamins and fatty acids as well as delivering a good glug of moisture, coconut is like a nourishing espresso shot for your scalp, stimulating hair growth and helping to repair broken strands.

Keratin
This is a protein naturally found in the hair, otherwise known as the building blocks of the hair strand (basically the more protein it has, the stronger it will be). Ideal for boosting shine, fortifying fine hair and rebuilding damaged follicles, it also helps protect hair from future breakages.

Pro Vitamin B5
Otherwise known as ‘pantothenic acid’, this is great if your scalp is dry and flaky, as it works like a sponge – rapidly absorbing moisture and locking it in. It’s also used to treat wounds and irritation, encouraging skin cell regeneration so your scalp is left fortified and soothed.

Silk Peptides
Silkgel is a pioneering new vegan alternative to regular silk peptides, providing a “second skin” effect to the scalp and hair follicles. Produced via a process of fermenting plant starch, it’s been clinically proven to not only repair fragile or damaged hair strands, but also protect the hair and scalp from harmful pollutants as well as bacterial adhesion.

How to use:
