Review - Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment

It seems that the "Invasion of the Hair Care Products" is still in full swing and there seems to be no end in sight so I decided to join the mutiny and stop resisting the pretty little bottles cluttering my sink. 

Variety is the spice of life after all and besides who knows maybe I really am missing out on something amazing by sticking stubbornly to my old-stand by Moroccan Oil. 

Let the justifications begin! 

After having such amazing results with the Macadamia Naturals Deep Repair Mask it seemed only natural to check out the matching oil treatment too. It was significantly cheaper than the Moroccan Oil and all the reviews seemed so positive that when I finally located a small travel sized bottle there was no hesitation. 

I am very happy to report that I think I discovered a new favorite hair oil with even more versatility and function than my usual routine.

Description;

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment is a therapeutic oil perfect for all hair types and is especially beneficial to dry, damaged hair. The Healing Oil Treatment is instantly absorbed, weightlessly infusing the hair with moisture and nutrients for silky smooth, healthy looking hair while providing natural UV protection from photo and sun damage. Dry, brittle hair is miraculously rejuvenated with increased shine and control. 

Directions

For styling and finishing, work a small amount into damp or dry hair. For extra nourishment, add a small amount to masque or leave-in cream before applying

Ingredients;

Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Tocopheryl Acetate, Macadamia Temifolia Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Parfum/Fragrance, Benzyl Salicylate, Hexylcinnamal, Butylphenyl Methypropional, Coumarin, Linalool, Limonene

The Macadamia Oil Treatment claims to provide similar benefits to the Moroccan Oil including nourishment, detangling, increased manageability and shine, natural UV protection and even reduced drying time by 40-50%. The healing oil will also eliminate frizz, flyaway's and increase softness even in color-treated hair. 

Only a few drops of this healing oil will literally transform your hair, turning it softer, easier to manage and glistening with healthy (not greasy) shine. The Macadamia Oil can also be used on the body by spiking your favorite body lotion but my favorite way to use this is add a small amount to my daily conditioner, transforming it into a luxurious rich hair mask. When my hair is feeling particularly parched I add a couple of drops of oil to the matching Macadamia Deep Repair Mask and leave it in for 15-20 minutes for a true hair spa experience.

My final verdict on the Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment is very positive and for me its a more affordable replacement of the Moroccan Oil since I achieved very similar results using both products. 

Both the Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment ($13.50 for 1 oz.) and Moroccan Oil ($48.59 for 3.4 oz) are available for purchase at Ulta and Amazon. 

I hope this was helpful :-)

Have you used the Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment or Moroccan Oil? Do you have a favorite hair oil?

Review Macadamia Natural Deep Repair Mask

A lot of people have said that i have been blessed with what is described as "good hair". My hair is dark auburn, very thick, shiny, undamaged  and not color-treated.  

I don't use a lot of styling aids and when I blow dry I only do it for about 5 minutes when my hair is no longer "very wet". My routine is very simple but I do try and use some kind of deep treatment mask or conditioner every couple of weeks. I probably should do more but my beauty obsession seemingly doesn't translate all that well in the hair-care department. 

When I first heard about the Macadamia Deep Repair Mask I was intrigued, especially many bloggers were comparing it to the Moroccan Oil products, which I already use. So when I got the opportunity arose I was more than happy to test it out.

Official Description;

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque is a revitalizing hair reconstructor for dry, damaged hair. A combination of macadamia oil and argon oil along with tea tree oil, chamomile oil, aloe and algae extracts rejuvenate and rebuild the hair, leaving the hair deeply nourished for improved elasticity and shine with long-lasting conditioning benefits.

Key Ingredients;

Macadamia Oil

Argan Oil 

Tea Tree Oil,

Chamomile Oil

Aloe & Algae Extract

How to use;

Liberally comb through clean, wet hair and allow up to 7 minutes of penetration before rinsing. No heat necessary. Deep Repair Masque is an intense treatment. Use no more than twice a week

The Macadamia Natural Deep Repair Mask promises to provide not just deep nourishment & reconstruction but also long-term conditioning. Even though I am all about instant gratification I also like feeling like I am doing something that will benefit me later too. This treatment is promising both of those things. 

The texture of this hair mask was thinner than I expected but for me that was a positive feature since it made it a lot easier to evenly distribute the cream throughout my hair. My thick hair also appreciated the fact that it was very easy to rinse. Nobody has time for a 10 minute rinsing session. The scent is very clean and fresh, nothing overpowering that lingers for hours. 

Despite the fact that it doesn't feel thick, the richness of its conditioners really pack a punch when it comes to hydration and repair. I could feel a difference in my hair while I was still in the shower - the silky, light sensation was apparent even then. Once dry my hair was softer, silkier, lighter and even looked & felt bouncier. What I absolutely loved about it was the fact that even though my hair was soft & silky, it was also very manageable and not at all slippery. 

I have used the mask three ways;

1. Just as directed on the tub for 7 minutes before rinsing 

2. Overnight wrapped up in cling wrap and rinsed in the morning shower 

3. When my skin is feeling particularly parched I use it overnight with a few drops of the matching Macadamia Oil mixed it

Essentially the Macadamia Natural Deep Repair Mask ask is just wonderful and for once I couldn't come up with a single negative.  It's a new feeling for me! 

You can purchase Macadamia Oil products at ULTA
