[@s0lastsummer7]

I fully support this idea. 👍🏼

[@erinbailey4631]

I have an explanation for the dry shampoo! I had to call in reinforcements (my dad who has a masters and worked for an oil and gas company so I’m gonna make it simple 😂). Unlike other propellants Tetraflouropropene is a fluorocarbon which means the carbons in the molecule are attached to flourine making the bond more stable but not totally unable to combust. Other propellants such as isobutane have carbon atom without stabilizing so they can and will explode, but just catch fire but explode. So in short the propellant that Monat claims to have is still flammable but not in the same environment as the other propellants used in other products. Tetrafluoroethylene can still be harmful, it can cause frostbite and is a harmful carcinogen if it is inhaled. So Monat can be set on fire, but it’s gonna take more than a tiny flame. If she wanted it to catch on fire she should have held the can over the flame. Also another nugget he told me is that the more carbons a molecule has the more combustible it is (usually. There are sometimes a few exceptions). I hope that make sense

[@MissaBrevis]

This is a really good explanation! The only thing I'd add is that basically any aerosol propellant can cause frostbite under the right conditions because of evaporative or adiabatic cooling. The thermodynamics are a little bit complicated, but basically, as the compressed propellant turns to vapor, the pressure drop causes the temperature to drop at the same time. (This is how a refrigerator or standard air conditioning works too, except fridges capture and recompress the vapor instead of spraying on your hair or whatever. That's why an air conditioning unit has to have some connection to outside air - the back of the unit creates an greater increase in heat as it compresses the refrigerant than the decrease in heat you get inside the unit from the vaporization) Not that anyone should be super worried about frostbite from dry shampoo under normal conditions! But if you hold the spray right next to your skin, like 1/2 inch or less, and keep it on for more than a few seconds, it is a known risk.

[@eli-hk8tp]

I love chemistry ✨😩

[@dahliacheung6020]

Oh wow, that's pretty cool! My sister used to be in Monat and gave me a bunch of their products and so I've used their dry shampoo. (It's awful, leaves a white cast on the hair and makes it feel gritty and gunky.) It actually comes out of the can really forcefully, more so than any other dry shampoo I've tried, so without actually knowing the reason I assumed that was why the candle was blown out. Nice to know the real, chemical reason; thank you!

[@tiararoxeanne1318]

​@@dahliacheung6020 In conclusion, the propellant that Monat use does not 'propel' the dry shampoo as good as the propellant used by other brands, so you have to push the can harder to make the product 'propelled' as expected, am I right? This is interesting. Initially I thought Monat use a different propellant than other brands because it is safer. But, after reading your comment, and considering a lot of complaints about how their products damage people's hair and/or scalps, I think Monat use it because it is cheaper🤔

[@lingodelfo5415]

I'm also thinking if this is a possible case of language misunderstanding + broken phone game. In many languages benzine means gas, as in the one you put in the car to ignite the engine. That's also flammable. Could be that non-flammable product = doesn't have benzine, or at least that's what the rep thinks

[@babyturkey8342]

Omg that first one already has me angry! She wasn't even subtle about it lmao said "on my way to my friends daughter's funeral so wanted just to mention I use young living everyday AND there's a sale. Link in bio". What dafuq

[@Amanda-sj5sb]

And of course, recorded this video while driving and putting other people's children at risk. She should be ashamed of herself. I know these cults make people do things they usually wouldn't but this is beyond the pale.

[@babyturkey8342]

@@Amanda-sj5sb absolutely agree! Driving on your way to a funeral to pitch a sale for some damn oils. Shameful

[@CarboneCat]

The huns must always use any opportunity to sell their MLM. It shows the desperation behind any MLM participation as the compensation plan of their company is brutal.

[@theloverlyladylo9158]

That first clip has my blood boiling. As a mother who lost my 21-year-old daughter last year, if I had a "friend" who used my child's death to sell ANYTHING (let alone overpriced oils from a shady-as-shit mlm company) they would not be my friend anymore. That is so incredibly beyond tacky and awful.

[@ivahacka]

I am so sorry. As a child I lost my older brother who was 19 at the time, and I wish my mom found help earlier then she did. That said, I know nothing about you, but I wish you to find peace with what happened. Reach out to loved ones and be patient with yourself. Grief is a motherfucker. Please take care of yourself ❤️❤️❤️

[@lacedhexes]

What cleanser do you use to remove the strawndation

[@connleaa]

I just found this channel, but so far I really like it & I think it provides an excellent service. And about the strawberry foundation experiment….the only thing that the hun proved is that this cleanser can probably effectively clean facial foundation off of strawberries. I am not sure what the hun thinks the relevance of this might be, but all the people I know prefer strawberries with plain little faces, no makeup required. 😊

[@coconutz3535]

The MLM "experiments" give me 5 minute Crafts vibes...and we all know how awful those can be!

[@burnttoastspacegirlfriend8769]

But Hannah! If it weren’t for MLMs, how would we know what dry shampoo to use while our hair is on fire? How would we know what cleanser to use when taking makeup off our strawberries? These are important issues!

[@michelleprieur1]

That first one has me shaking in anger. I have a friend whose 6 year old child was tragically killed in a car wreck a few years ago. Long story short, one of her "friends" was handing out some brochures for ItWorks or some other garbage at the funeral home. I repeat. AT THE FUNERAL HOME. I hope my friend didn't hear about it. The grandfather of the child and my friend's brother in law politely escorted her out.

[@carolsummers8734]

Wow. What a horrid woman. How insensitive.

[@jennifergeorge7280]

[@kartgal]

[@Saburi0504]

The Monat dry shampoo is one of my biggest issues with that company lately. I work in a professional salon supply store. A lot of my older clients have come in telling me how their friend’s daughter sells this brand called Monat, and told them how dangerous their extremely safe, clean, high end dry shampoo is compared to the one she sells from Monat. The misinformation these poor women are given is astounding, some even want to start carrying all Monat. I try to talk to them about it but there’s only so much I can do.

[@CarpeCupcake]

"I've got joy in my hair, I've got hope on my wrists" WUT

[@MiauMichigan]

It didn't make sense to me either. It took me a few seconds to realize she was talking about the product names. The AUDACITY 🤬

[@peccatrix]

The fact that she chose to do that little “experiment” with a strawberry baffles me for unexpected reasons, too. Like. If I were to pick a fruit to try foundation and foundation removal on, I’d go with an apricot or peach. It just seems more logical. It’s even got fuzz! You know, like a cheek! hnjghjgh I truly can’t tell you why that’s what I’m hung up on, but it is.

[@lauriechan1426]

Why use a fruit?? Hahah why not just do it on her hand or arm?? 🤣🤣

[@mariusvanc]

@@lauriechan1426 you've got skin right there! I think it's because strawberries are seen as delicate, but it's still very odd.

[@Kaldylicious]

I think it might be that the strawberry seeds with foundation on top kind of look like pores?? Like how some cleanser ads use oranges to show a make-up product stuck in pores that is dissolved by their face wash. Granted I might be giving the MLM Huns more credit than they're due and I agree, actual skin exists and fruit is not face😂

[@sunnyandthechlo]

I think it’s because the strawberry is even more delicate than skin so if that goes undamaged your skin should be fine. Plus it’s got that weirdness factor to generate clicks. Still dumb.

[@peccatrix]

@@Kaldylicious Ohhh that is a good point. As was the one about strawberries being very delicate. But still! 😂

[@Gracelizabetht]

Hi, from someone that used to be in an MLM.. On the first story, you really do have it ingrained into your brain that every little aspect of your life can tie to the company in some way. Thankfully I never saw anything to this degree, but what you're saying is completely spot on.

[@tessabakker662]

I'm so happy for your successful escape from the business cult!

[@rachel1877]

when she said "i use young living every day" in the first clip i made big old wide eyes and then looked at the screen and hannah was making big old wide eyes and for a moment in time i travelled back to when she was filming this so we could both say "what the fresh hell" cosmically together

[@charliewright6273]

The fire experiments from the Monat girlies are always hilarious to me. Because they almost always include the not your mother's dry shampoo. That's so funny to me because the NYM dry shampoo is an affordable dupe of the Monat dry shampoo. Like, they both use rice starch to act as the dry shampoo ingredient, which is the most important ingredient in a dry shampoo. The Monat can doesn't usually spark the flame because it is less pressurized, but it's also because the Monat girls hold the product much further from the flame. So when you hold it far enough away from the flame that the propellant can't reach the flame, the actual dry shampoo product will extinguish the flame. And this is true with any dry shampoo.

[@s0lastsummer7]

I wonder how many takes they have to do to get the results they want to put out onto the internet! I cannot believe they are actually getting these results on the first try 😂 can you imagine being their neighbors and seeing them doing this in their driveway?! I'd have the fire department on speed dial because they are leaning over open flames with their hair hanging loose!!!! MA'AMS!!!! 😱😱😱

[@dahliacheung6020]

Despite it having the same ingredient I would not consider it a dupe at all. Every time I've used the Monat dry shampoo it has left a white cast and made the hair feel gunky and gross. Meanwhile I love NYM dry shampoo in all the varieties I've tried (at least before they changed the formula because now all the reviews talk about the bottles emptying out on their own, sometimes with enough force to fly off the shelf 😬).

[@randomsammieable]

Side note on benzine... it is an insanely flammable substance that burns so hot and fast and long that fire fighters can't put out a benzine fire, just contain them. While the bigger concern with the sprays is the carcinogenic quality, attempting an experiment with products containing benzine in which you're actively trying to spark fires (at your house with no safety in place) is incredibly unsafe. Hun science with fire is not recommended.

[@JaimeLeighArt]

Hun Science with Hannah ™️ needs to be an actual thing 😆😆 Also, “sniffing Doterra makes you immortal…” I laughed so hard 😂😂

[@Lailer10]

Is that boxes upon boxes of her unused Youngliving products that she was required to purchase making an appearance from her trunk? The world may never know.

[@melissashiels7838]

I love that these huns never see the irony in their most common statements: "these products sell themselves " and "you gotta hustle, get out there, post everyday". I mean, they're not mutually exclusive, but why would you have to post so much, reach out to so many people, and monetise a drive to a funeral if the products "sell themselves".

I can’t imagine how angry I’d be in her friend’s situation. I’d tell the woman that the friendship was over.

[@piperjaycie]

I was 100% sure that first woman was going to say if that other family had used her mlm products their child that they are burying would still be alive. And I wouldn’t have been surprised if she did! How can you use anyone’s funeral to sell anything, mlm or regular products, but a CHILDS FUNERAL!!!!!

[@mayas883]

Yeah same, at first I thought that was what she was implying. After the whole thing I think not (benefit of the doubt) but it's still extremely disrespectful

[@clovis_the_spook]

I honestly feel she was implying that the child would still be alive if they had used the oils, but I might be a little too cynical

[@LisaHarvey16]

Totally disgusting!

[@chelsye4929]

I used to be heavily involved in the anti mlm subreddit and, unfortunately, I remember seeing someone post a message they received from a YL hun that was along those lines. I'm not joking. It was vile.

[@aechawk]

Mythbusters worked on using spray sunscreen and it catching on fire. They explain the science. Just don't spray near an open flame, which is kind of common sense. But I guess if you are in the middle of a fire, you can still use Monat dry shampoo. I guess that your hair can still look great as you run out of the fire.

[@Annie_Annie__]

About the DoTerra claims: people really do believe these claims. My mother does. She has cancer. She’s always been anti-doctor and anti-medication (kind of a “only sick people take pills, so if I don’t take pills, I won’t be sick” mentally) and even refused to take my sibling and I to the doctor unless she thought the school or our father was going to call Child Services about it. Anyway, for some reason she’s more okay with surgeons, so she had surgery to remove the tumor, but they aren’t sure if they got it all and she refuses chemo, radiation, and any further testing. We were confused as to why until recently she admitted that she has a “special tea” she drinks, essential oils she puts in her water, supplements, and a “strict diet” and all that is going to cure her. According to her. I don’t know if the tea, oils, or supplements are MLM (wouldn’t be surprised, though) because she refused to go in to detail once she could see that we disapproved. We’ve tried and tried to talk her in to getting real treatment, but she literally just walks away or hangs up the phone. We’ve given up. The more we push, the more she digs in her heels and thinks she’s making the right decision. So, we’re just waiting for the phone call that she’s in the hospital, and we know that at that point they’re probably going to say she’s too far gone and needs to go to hospice. It’s a common tale and we’re preparing for it. The thing is, she’s not. She thinks she’s going to live to be 100. It’s going to hit her like a ton of bricks. Because _someone_ is helping to convince her that she can “cure cancer naturally”. No idea who, though. My mother has never been bright, never been skeptical, always been gullible. She’s fallen for multiple cults. She currently believes in QAnon (I guess that’s another cult?). So she’s an easy target for these kinds of claims. And I know I’m not the only one with a family member like this. The person constantly falling for MLMs and get-rich-quick schemes. The person that when you introduce them to friends, after a while they give that look that says “is she kidding or is she really this ignorant/much of an airhead?” The person that when family/friends call and mention her, the first thing you say is “what did she do now?” with a resigned sigh. The person that fits all that, but also thinks she’s _always_ right and that she’s the smartest person in the room. There’s a lot of those kinds of people, and they are the MLM dream. Who knows how many people have been maimed or worse because of claims like that. All because an MLM distributor wanted to make more money and the company at large looks the other way.

[@SodaPoppet]

It's a year later, but I hope you are doing well. MLMs are predators first and foremost.

[@kiyavi]

The first clip reminds me of the horror stories we’ve heard where up-lines tell their down-lines to use traumatic situations to get sympathy sales. I could just picture the up-line telling that woman, “I know you’re sad right now and don’t feel like posting, but you have a golden opportunity here! Try to find a way to spin your friend’s child’s death into a sales pitch!” and this being the resulted attempt.

I crochet as one of my many hobbies and I make a lot of stuffed toys. A lot of people love what I make and tell me I should sell them but I don't really want to. I get more enjoyment just giving them away, plus I don't want my hobby to feel like a job (which is why I gave up my "dream" of being a full-time writer). People often request me to make things, but again it doesn't feel like a job because there really isn't a time limit.

[@angelachristina]

I know what you mean. I love to make jewelry and I do makeup on others for fun. My mom always wants me to make a business out of it. But I already made a business out of one of my hobbies. So I won't do it again. I need to do something just for fun.

[@Victoria-qp1lu]

It’s 3am and I was going to sleep but claiming the early ticket for Hannah’s vids was too tempting

[@Victoria-qp1lu]

Ok adding some thoughts In. I know for a fact this applies to wine pouring and I think it does to aerosol cans too but I’m not 100%. Because of the fine particles in the dispersment, whilst the can is spraying the firing can potentially ignite o the particles up into the source of the dispersion and explode the can through rapid ignition of flammable content. This experiment is so stupidly dangerous and I’m surprised no explosions have happened yet. Also fine particles being ignited to make an explosion is the same reason flour is an affective bomb, these dry shampoos usually contain flour like ingredients such as starch

[@JellicleKitten]

If I was the mother of the deceased child in the first clip and I caught wind of that, hun would be banned from the funeral, any gatherings after, and the rest of my life. Like how DARE you use my kid's passing as the "why" of the day and to pitch a sale that's on. I'd throw hands!!

[@Carol_Pearson]

I worked nearly 12 hours yesterday. I telecommute. When it's not busy season, I will promote my artwork more online, but frankly, from January - March, I just want to log out and veg a bit. I would also like to point out that, unlike MLMs where most people end up working 24/7 and on vacations and sick (because somehow that's time freedom?), I can log out and not think about work. And when it's not busy season, that means just 8 hours, and then I can do what I want with the rest of my time. I can monetize it or not.

[@finntofuu]

Hannah! Thank you for your work on these videos, I truly love the way you approach MLM critique.

[@alphacygni8307]

That poor first woman sounded so uncomfortable. I seemed to me that she didn't really want to do it but felt like she needed to. It was so clumsy and didn't come naturally, (and it shouldn't)

[@arura5124]

I agree. I wonder if her up-line told her to do it….. She didn’t seem okay.

[@petrichorbones]

yeah it definitely came across that she was not in the mood for this. she def either felt like she had to or was told she had to. really sad :(

[@petrichorbones]

not to mention she's 100% been preyed on with the way she is seemingly relying on these oils to get her through her days

[@teijaflink2226]

I was thinking that she was just ignorant because mlms push selling on them every moment that they lose the capability to see how inappropriate this is. So even worse imo if she knew this isn't okay but still selling because people will hopefully feel sorry for her..

Yes. The brainwashing is that strong.

Maybe the strawberry was because it has pebbled skin, so it was meant to represent pores? Just spitballing, lol. 😂

[@lisaschooler9992]

2 things in particular about this upload: 1) I literally was laughing so hard watching Hannah wash off the strawberry (And especially the tone of voice when she was putting the foundation on the strawberry!that I keep chuckling every time I’d even think of it. That was awesome! 2) In my case, I have truly found alkaline water to make a noticeable difference in with my Gerd/acid reflux. I can feel the difference immediately when I drink regular pH water, regardless of how pure or filtered it is. That being said though - if you’ve tried alkaline water and you feel the difference, there’s certainly no need to ever ever buy a huge expensive filtration system. There are a number of various sort of alkaline water pictures and replacement cartridges on Amazon. And that’s what I use. I think it ends up costing me maybe, an average of $10 per month and I drink over 88 ounces a day of water. No need to buy expensive filtration systems or for that matter no reason to even buy the pre-bottled ones which are also quite costly. Just make sure you get something with 9.0 or higher if you’re trying to Use it for acid reflux type issues.

The flammable-not flammable thing: well, there could be many reasons. She was really making sure to hit the right angle of the candle with the non-MLM dry shampoos, she was holding the straight and spraying the product parallel to the ground. However, with monat dry shampoo, she seemingly only sprayed a little and under a sharper angle. This also explains why the candle would be unlit: the product hit the candle. If you only apply minimum force to spray, not much of the gas will escape and light on fire. If you spray the candle with dry shampoo, there will literally be no fire at all 😂 Sabotaging experiments is what they’re doin’.

Did the first woman mean that she had lost a child in the past as well? She said "as a grieving mother' and that this makes her own trauma open up and be raw. So it sounded to me like she was referring to her own loss of a child and today is going to the funeral for the child of a friend? If so, that is really heartbreaking. Or maybe I misunderstood, in which case it's still shocking.

[@rebeccah3715]

I caught that too. I wonder if she would have thought it OK if her friend had done the same thing on the way to her own child's funeral.

I caught that too, and I don't want to assume the worst, but frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if that weren't true. Anyone who has this poor judgment will lie about that. I've seen that myself.

I am a lawyer in Europe and there is a reason why there are laws to limit the hours a person can work in a day. People need to rest and need to be allowed to do whatever they want. Yes, sometimes you need the extra cash or you just love to do it but it's ok to do something without monetizing it. Sometimes I also teach at night because I really love doing stand the extra cash is useful, so that means that on those nights I dont get to read or watch tv at night but I can't do it all the time because it's exhausting even though I love doing it. I also sew with my daughter. People are always asking why doesn't she sell something (she is 13). Yes, she has sold some things because she was trying to buy a tablet but most of the time she just does what she likes to wear. It seems that some people just can't understand doing something just for fun. And that in fact leads to so many problems. Thank you for spreading awareness.

I wonder how much the oils are just a placebo effect. You put a good smell in a bottle, slap the name "Joy" on it and suddenly it helps with grief. If you put "Peace" on the same scent, I imagine you get the same "results".

[@neonslime5909]

I'm really late to this comment but it got me thinking. since grief is so individual and complicated, I totally believe calming scents can be part of someones coping or healing. that being said, using grief to sell overpriced oil is so gross

Regarding the funeral video, I am almost certain based on her last comment, that she plans to shill her oils AT THE FUNERAL. To 'help others'. Truly heinous behavior.

tetrafluoropropene does ignite but at a very high heat and it burns pretty slowly. outside of a propellant for monat dry shampoo it's used as refrigerant for automotive A/C units lol

[@midwifeohyeah22]

The first woman has been out of reality too long. Hurts my heart to think she really thinks she is helping.

[@kristinmayer3926]

I think the candle dry shampoo experiment could be related to the "flash point" of the propellants. The flash point is the temperature at which there is enough vapor (chemical in the gas phase) to ignite in the air. The flash point is what makes for the big "whoosh" flame in the air above the candle. A chemical could be flammable but with a high flash point meaning it burns but is hard to get a high enough concentration in the air to get the "whoosh" flame in the air. I tried to look up the flash point of tetrafluoropropene and everything said "no data" while the other chemical propellants have flash points that are below freezing temperaturer. My guess is tetrafluoropropene burns but is harder to get the flash in air (if I had to guess this would be due to density but I would have to look into it more to figure out why). This is somewhat speculation based on the quick research I did and background in chemistry Also, in the huns defense benzene is very flammable and has a very low flash point so it would make the "whoosh" flame in the candle test but so would lots of other propellants so not a conclusive test for benzene I don't use dry shampoo but tetrafluoropropene is a cfc-the chemicals that were removed from arosols in the 80s due to the destructive impact on the ozone layer so not exactly a good alternative to use
