Macademia natural oil products part 1

Macademia natural oil brand may not be very well-known in Slovakia or Belgium so I decided to bring you some short reviews of products that I tried past year.

While in US it is easy to get, in Europe, you can buy it only at allbeauty.com or lookfantastic.com website (more expensive than allbeauty).

Macademia natural oil products

REJUVENATING SHAMPOO

Price: 300 ml for 10,96€ at allbeauty.com (I bought 60ml for tryout)

Scent and colour: it has light fresh floral scent and white pearl colour.

Consistency: it has runny consistency, neither too thick nor watery, just regular kind of texture for a shampoo.

Performance: it cleans very well; my hair looked quite shiny and had good volume. For most of people this would be a very nice shampoo, for my dry scalp it was quite drying, unlike the shampoo promises it didn’t moisturized my hair or scalp.

Final verdict: as said below it is too drying for my scalp so I won’t repurchase it. I still recommend it if you don’t have dry skin, my hair looked nice after using it so it could still work for you.

DEEP REPAIR MASQUE

Price: 250 ml for 20,66€ at allbeauty.com.

Scent and colour: combination of nutty and floral notes; it has white pearl colour.

Consistency: it has very thick cream consistency.

Performance: this is the star of Macademia Natural oil brand as everybody who cares about hair knows. It is well-known and well worth the hype. It leaves the hair sleek, shiny, manageable and healthy looking. It is recommended to be used no more than twice a week as it is an intense treatment; I was using it once a week and it worked well.

Final verdict: I love this masque and I always repurchase it. It is expensive but well worth the price. I always ask for it for Christmas and buy it when on sale.

NOURISHING LEAVE-IN CREAM

Price: 300 ml for 15,85€ at allbeauty.com

Scent and colour: it has similar scent to the masque, you can smell some nuts notes in it; it has white colour.

Consistency: it has quite a thick consistency; it is not runny or thick as the masque.

Performance: after washing the hair, you take little bit in your hands, distribute it evenly and do not rinse it off. As I have fine hair I had to be very careful about the amount as the thick consistency weighted it down and the curls looked less bouncy. I think this product aims at girls with thick coarse hair not mine. I didn’t notice any difference in my hair texture.

Final verdict: as you can guess I didn’t like the product due to its consistency, it weighted my hair down and it didn’t look good. I wouldn’t repurchase it but if you have thick hair definitely try it.
