As I’ve heard, “powerdose conditioning treatment is the most intense hair repair treatment available to salons.” Here in Manila, Philippines,Β powerdose and hair conditioning treatment services that reinforce and optimize your hair from the inside out usually cost around the average of PHp 500. Some salons base the price on the length of your hair. So if you have long hair like I do (almost reaching the waist), expect to pay more.
For that, I say, “No, thanks.” I prefer to save tons of cash with purchasing a product I can use at home while I receive the same “treatment.” This post features a hair care product that can do just that: Monea Powerdose Plus Soft and Bouncy (250g) (PHp 250).
Monea Powerdose Plus Soft and Bouncy Hair Treatment by JTomas Collections is a deep conditioning treatment that you leave on your hair for 10-20 minutes and should be used at least once in two weeks. Apparently, this product has been out in the market in 2012 (available in Landmark, Watsons, Unimart, Cash & Carry, RB Hortaleza, Gaisano Outlets and health and beauty section of supermarkets and department stores nationwide). But since it’s always almost sold out in stores, I have not seen it before until it was shipped to my door last week.
I tried using it following these instructions, as shown on the label:
How to Use Monea Powerdose Plus Soft and Bouncy Hair Treatment
1. Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner during your bath, just like in normal days.
2. Apply Monea’s Power Dose (Green) Product on your scalp to the ends of your hair.
3. Gently massage your scalp and leave Monea’s Power Dose (Green) Product for 10-20 minutes.
4. Rinse it off with water.
Monea Powerdose Plus Soft and Bouncy: Likes and Dislikes
Not having straight-as-a-board hair anymore after the digi-perm procedure last February, I don’t have spend time prepping and styling my hair before going out. However, I still have to apply Monea Curl Defining Milk Lotion, or my hair would go unruly and look frizzled.
Thanks to Monea Powerdose Plus Soft and Bouncy, my hair felt really softer and lighter, and this went on for the rest of the day. The tips didn’t go tangled, even without me using those other hair care products. Another good point is the fragrance, which is like “fruit-forward,” sweet but not too strong.
What I don’t like about it is that the consistency of the substance. it was not too thick like I expected. I just think that thicker conditioners coat the cuticle of the hair more.
Wrap Up
So far I didn’t encounter any irritation on the scalp. So I guess this bottle of Monea can be described as a powerful, rinse-out repair treatment with effective results (not sure if long-lasting).
Whether you have digi-permed hair like mine, colored, treated or natural hair, you can trick your gorgeous mane to be bouncier and silkier maybe with this powerdose conditioning treatment. π

Wow! Its good to hear that there’s a product for permed hair that is actually effective. I also had my hair permed and my problem now is that its dry and unruly ends. Thanks for this, i shall try this product!!:)
You’re most welcome. I think this product is not only for permed hair but also for normal, untreated ones. To solve your problem, I recommend using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, as well as a monthly deep-conditioning treatment like this Monea PowerDose Hair Supplement.
Hello there pretty! I just want to ask if it’s okay if I’m gonna use the blue one? I saw different Monea Powerdose in the mall colored orange, blue and i think red. But there isn’t a green one. The blue one is for hair repair too. Is it okay to use that? Will wait for your reply. Thanks sweet! π
Hello Lala. That’s right – I often see the blue one getting reviewed in blogs, so I think using it won’t do you no harm. π Welcome!
With any chemical applied to her though, it’s best to minimize usage and to dilute as much as possible. π
Yes, that’s true, especially for hair strands with finer texture. Mild leave-in conditioners and oil-based products like grooming cream can also help weigh down the wave.
My hair can be very dry at most times…. I could try this Monea Power Dose. It sounds promising… Thanks for sharing..
Monea Powerdose can be a great detangler as well as it is filled with nutrients that work with chemically treated hair. Choose a light conditioner to keep moisture in your hair all day long.
I wanna try this one but it looks expensive for me.
PHp 250 for one bottle of Monea may sound expensive but because you will use it several times (I think about ten), sulit na rin than going to a parlor for hair treatment. π
250 lang ba? namalikta ata ako, akala ko 500 haha sorry. yup sulit na din to π
Yup haha. I hope stores will replenish their stocks more often though kasi lagi nga raw out. Tsktsk min-max (inventory planning) lang yan. π
It is a little expensive huh. But of course you won’t mind the price if it does wonder to your hair! π
Haha. Search for other powerdose hair treatment products and you will only find L’Oreal which is more expensive. I have tried the product also and of course it’s better than Monea. Price is twice as expensive nga lang! π
It’s nice that there’s a product that can replace some salon services and the good thing about it is you can have more frequent use of it.
Yes, Franc. It’s great to hear that from a guy like you. Keeping hair healthy after a perm is easier now and I’m not afraid to lose the volume and curls of my hair. With the right conditioners and styling products, I know I can manage them well.
i am starting to be vain in terms of checking y hair every time. thanks for this product review, i’ll consider this.:)
Thanks, Sef. The hair care routine begins in the shower when you apply a shampoo and conditioner then followed by other products such as this. I think one bottle of Monea hair supplement will last you for six months if you use this once a week! π
I think I have to try that product! My hair is quite unmanageable these days. Hmp. The price is just okay if it’s really effective. However, I can’t use it on weekdays coz I can’t afford to waste 10-20mins. (Malelate sa work.hehe)
I haven’t seen it yet in malls though.
Right. That’s why it’s wise to use this in the weekend when we have more time intended for beauty and overall maintenance. π
Your hair is indeed long and bouncy. Maybe you can be a good model for Monea.
Thanks, Franc. I also hope to be considered/discovered. π lol.
I hope ma discover ka for shampoo commercial π
sounds like a good hair product.. I also need something like this.my hair condition is not worse, but I can sense a difference in the texture after I changed color thrice in a span of one year.. thanks for sharing!
Ohh..hehe thanks, Mommy Pehpot. That will be a dream come true for me. π
This is good news for my young lady because she has a natural curly hair and do frequent hair dying. I’ll check this product and let her try.
Yay! I’m glad you find this post educational and useful. π This hair treatment product can help soften her hair for sure.
Whoah! i get more interested with the taking care of your digiperm hair. will do on August. rawr! Btw, I also prefer to buy hair treatment to do at home than to go to salon and they’ll do the application as it gets cheaper when you do all by yourself, right? hihi
Yes it gets cheaper if you DIY but if you want lavish and royal treatment then you can splurge sometimes and get service done in the salon. π I know one salon where you can get discount when you use your own product and have them just apply it to your hair! In return, you receive back massage.
Based on your review, I think this is a very promising product. I might try this out after I got my hair permed. Papahaba muna. Hehe =)
Haha yeah your hair is short but even so, treating your hair to powerdose products will bring no disadvantage. π
I think my sister uses this too. I was funny way back she had to do natural stuff on weekends like putting mayonnaise on her hair and let it stay the whole night that it actually stinks in the morning. HAHA! Although it actually works, the idea that she had to miss out on some life’s great things on a weekend night only because she wanted a pretty and soft hair. π
Ohh I think putting mayonnaise on the hair is effective because I’ve heard this tip many times from friends and netizens (forummers). However I also think that this process is not worth the pennies saved. Kasi messy… π
I definitely want to try that! I’ve always been a fan of Monea’s Curl Defining Milk. Would you know where this is available? π
Haha sorry, I don’t know leh. π Maybe you can visit those stores mentioned in the post from time to time to check.
nice product i want to ask if it can cure itchy and dandruff problems?
Hmmm that one I’m not sure. But I think you better get products especially meant to treat dandruff and scalp problems because this one is for softening the hair.
hmm sounds an effective product but the price ..i can’t afford to buy it actually..
Hmmm that’s alright. Maybe your children can give it to you as gift next time! π
I’ve seen this in watsons π I want to try this too! Been wanting to try the curl defining milk when I’m planning to get my hair digitally permed. I think I’ll go for the blue one of this.
I’ve seen the blue one in one of the stalls in 168. I’m not sure if it’s a fake one though. Hmmm better check it out sa leading stores na lang hehe.
Hi, do you think this is still out in the market? I am not aware of this product until my officemate tried the treatment from a salon. I am too eager to try this and can’t wait to be out from work!
Hi Mae, yes, it’s still being sold. I just saw stocks in Watsons last weekend.
Hello po.. saan nyo po nbibili ung powerdose??? Im on my first day of digiperm (red salon).. and so sad that it is frizzy.. parang buhok lng na hindi sinuklay. .help nmn po..
Sa Watsons meron. I just visited SM Department Store of MOA and found it there last weekend. π
