Macademia Deep Repair Mask

This Macademia Deep Repair Mask was very hyped about this past year or two. 

Now, I was a bit excited and somewhat reluctant to try this product out. Simply because sometimes I think that some products are being given too much hype and sometimes when I do have the opportunity to try one of these products I would end up having high expectations. But then I wonder why all the hype around it as it turns out to be an ok product for me.

 Anyways, I had to try this one out because I have somewhat dry hair and it looked promising.

First of all, yes it smells amazing and divine and I  got hooked on it! I use fairly hydrating things and work wonders and so I decided to use it once a week as it is advertised as being deep treatment. Not that it will do any harm to hair. But I decided to stick to the instructions.

Yes, it did make a difference to my hair. It felt more supple and hydrated and nourished. So, good points for that. I kept using it once a week or so  (keeping in mind that I wash my hair 2-3 a week).  What I did find quite strange is that I assumed and expected it to be more deep hydrating and everything. I mean I got the same effect with other hair masks.

Another point is that I found that I needed quite a generous amount of the product to make a real difference to the state of my hair. Hence I think I ended up using it quickly.  I also found that the smoothness and hydration didn't last for a very long time. Maybe for 2 days. So, I am not sure about it there.

However, I figured out that it would be a great mask for people who wash their hair every day or every other day although you might end up using it very fast. This also depends on the amount of hair you have. For me I have quite a generous amount and it isn't fine by any means. It is quite thick.

So, all in all, I am not sure about this mask. I might actually use something different and then come back to it so as to see how it matches up with the other masks that I use. Also, keep in mind that is fairly pricey compared to other masks.

Macademia Natural Oil Rejuvenating Shampoo Review

I feel like the introduction to every post in the past couple of months has been about summer. I won't mention summer again although I already did .. twice!!!

A couple of months back I finally bought the famous and most raved about Macademia products which you can get from various websites online. 

I will start with a shampoo from the range. 

I have quite sensitive scalp and I have to be very careful when it comes to shampoos. Most shampoo brands irritate my scalp easily and my scalp forms a lot of dry itchy scales which are not dandruff.

For this reason I choose to use shampoos which are sulfate and paraben free.

Anyways, I had a sort of discount from lookfantastic and I decided to try the Macademia Natural Oil range. 

The first thing that has to be mentioned is its fragrance.

It smells divine... I seriously think it is the best shampoo fragrance I have ever smelled! It is not that usual shampoo/soapy smell that most common shampoos or hair stuff have. I honestly cannot describe it. But I assure you it smells amazing.

Ok I think I made enough emphasis on its fragrance.

The shampoo itself is quite a straight forward shampoo. It is targeted for dry hair. And believe it or not my hair has been the driest I can ever remember it to be. Even my roots which where quite normal as in slightly on the oily side not to much though. However, the ends have been a nightmare this summer. My hair has been most of the time in a bun and it has seen a lot of hair spray.

This shampoo made my hair feel kind of refreshed or 'rejuvenated'. I would typically wash my hair 2 or even 3 times a week depending on whether I was working or I went to the beach.

It doesn't irritate my scalp not even one bit! and for that I give it an A+++. I would have expected it to be a bit more smoothing kind of but there again my hair is the worst it can be and to ease the dryness I use my trusted Argan Oil.

Hope you found it helpful.
