THE #1 HAIR SERUM I RECOMMEND AS AN AWARD-WINNING SALON OWNER
20 years on Newbury Street • 2x Best of Boston. For hair that actually looks and feels thick, bouncy, and healthy from root to ends.
See My #1 Serum Pick
I'm Megan Graham, a master colorist, and I'll be honest with you:
I was going for 90s supermodel hair.
My hair was giving overstyled yard-sale Barbie.
You know the 90s supermodel hair I mean. Big. Glossy. Bouncy. Thick through the ends. She turns her head and the whole thing moves.
And you're like:
How does somebody even HAVE hair like that?
Maybe your hair isn't terrible. Maybe sometimes it's actually pretty. You know how to style it. You buy good products. You take care of yourself.
But if you're a hair person, "pretty good" gets old.
You want some freaking HAIR.
YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN TRYING. OF COURSE YOU HAVE.
My hair, before it started falling apart.
The volumizing shampoo. The mousse. The root lift. The expensive mask. The oils. The supplements. The blowout tricks. Maybe extensions.
And sometimes you get it looking amazing.
For approximately forty-five minutes.
That's what makes this so frustrating. You're not doing nothing. You're doing a LOT. So eventually you start wondering:
HOW AM I PUTTING THIS MUCH INTO MY HAIR AND STILL NOT GETTING THE HAIR I ACTUALLY WANT?
And maybe the better question is:
HOW GOOD COULD MY HAIR ACTUALLY GET?
Not somebody else's genetics. Yours.
BELIEVE ME, I GET IT.
Most of my life, my hair was one of the things that made me feel beautiful.
Then it changed. It got damaged. It took more work. I started noticing more scalp around parts of my hairline and temples.
Eventually I asked my husband:
"It's not just me, right? My hair isn't what it used to be?"
He agreed. Which, to be clear, was not the answer I was hoping for.
And here's what made the whole thing particularly irritating:
I HAD SPENT MORE THAN TWO DECADES PROFESSIONALLY DOING HAIR.
I owned a salon on Newbury Street in Boston. I was a master colorist. My salon was named Best of Boston twice. I had spent years helping other women get incredible hair.
And somehow I was looking at my own head thinking:
What the hell happened here?
I wasn't ready to decide, well, I guess this is just my hair now.
Nope. I wanted to see how good I could get it.
AND THEN THERE'S MY HAIR NOW.
This is the length and fullness I got back. My authentic results with consistent daily use. Results will vary based on individual hair and scalp needs.
This is my actual hair. The length. The visual weight. The ends. The movement. The overall difference.
I WANTED BEAUTIFUL HAIR AGAIN.
I didn't want one tiny improvement I could circle with an arrow and stare at under fluorescent lighting.
And somewhere along the way it became:
ACTUALLY, LET'S SEE HOW FREAKING GOOD I CAN GET IT.
SO IF YOU WERE SITTING IN MY CHAIR AND SAID, “OKAY MEGAN, WHAT WOULD YOU PUT ME ON FIRST?”
This.
MONAT IR CLINICAL HAIR THINNING DEFENSE SCALP SERUM
Goes directly to a pre-loaded one-time retail cart on MONAT’s secure site.
My authentic results with consistent daily use. Results will vary based on individual hair and scalp needs.
You know the plateau I mean. Your hair's not falling out in the shower in some dramatic way. It's just stuck. Same length forever. Ends that go stringy no matter what you trim off. A part that's a little wider than it used to be, and no amount of root lift is fixing that.
That's exactly the plateau this one is built for.
I don't think you need to overhaul your entire bathroom to get started. This is one product you can add to what you're already doing.
Here's the number that actually got my attention: 8 out of 10 people who used this felt it helped improve their hair growth. Not "may support." Felt it. And MONAT's own testing showed thicker, fuller-looking hair in 60 days.
If you're on the same 90s-supermodel-hair quest I was on, this would be my first step.
WHY I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS ONE:
Energizes roots at the scalp
It's got caffeine, melatonin, and CAPIXYL™, a combination designed to support stronger, thicker-looking hair from the scalp up.
Thicker, fuller-looking hair in 60 days
MONAT's instrumental testing showed noticeable results of thicker, fuller-looking hair in 60 days. That's the kind of result that got my attention.
Weightless and blowout-safe
Lightweight, non-greasy, and made for daily scalp use. Put a few drops on damp or dry hair once a day and keep styling your hair like normal.

HERE'S THE ANNOYING PART.
Hair is a long game. Growing it is a little like watching a pot boil.
We buy something. Get excited. Use it for three weeks. Don't wake up looking like a 90s supermodel. Decide it didn't work. Then buy the next thing and start the clock all over again.
If you're going to do this, do it differently. Take your starting pictures. Use it consistently. Give it a real shot. Then judge it.
A YEAR IS GOING TO PASS EITHER WAY.
You can spend it still searching, still trying the next thing, still saying, I really need to do something about my hair.
Or you can know you finally started.
YOU'RE REALLY FREAKING GLAD YOU STARTED.
LET'S SEE HOW GOOD YOUR HAIR CAN GET.
One little thing before you go
MONAT will have you create a quick retail account before checkout, so there are a few short screens to fill out.
