If you have ever eaten a macadamia nut, you know how insanely yummy, creamy and full of flavor they are, more of an indulgent specialty nut rather than your run of the mill kind of nut, right?  Now imagine all of these wonderful, rich, luxury qualities translated into a line of hair care products, doesn’t that sound divine?  To me, YES!

Let me introduce you to my new favorite line of hair care products Macadamia Natural Oil. These products are the bomb! OMG, I am so in love with these fabulous products I don’t even know where to begin. This inspired line of products combines two of the worlds most rare, valuable and lightweight natural oils Macadamia Nut Oil from the South Pacific with the wildly popular Argan Seed Oil from North Africa’s Berber region into a beautiful line of luxury hair care products.

Macadamia Nut oil is a coveted beauty ingredient because of its uncanny ability to mimic the body’s own natural oils, allowing for unparalleled absorption and rapid penetration into the hair and skin. It has a rich concentration of essential fatty acids, natural antioxidants and vitamins that leaves hair deeply nourished and revitalized. Argan Seed Oil restores strength, shine and softness to dry, brittle hair while nourishing hair damaged by chemical services.

By combining both of these stellar oils in the Macadamia Natural Oil line, the results are even more impressive together. The benefits of this dynamic oil duo include: improved strength and hair quality; radiant shine;  hair that is deeply nourished, revitalized and silky smooth; softens thick, coarse hair; eliminates frizz and tangles; revives over-processed hair; no oily residue or build up; helps repair follicles, improves elasticity and increases nourishment; the natural UV protection extends the life of color treatments; and it reduces drying time up to 50%. Wow, that’s a powerful combo, don’t ya think?

So what am I NUTS about? Everything! First, the artisitc green and brown filagree package design is beautiful and totally catches my eye. Second, the hero product Healing Oil Treatment is amazing. It smells sweetly divine, absorbs instantly, smooths my hair and adds a beautiful shine. Then, the Rejuvenating Shampoo gently cleanses my processed hair while being hydrating at the same time, plus I love the way the bottle looks in my shower; the Nourishing Leave-In Cream is light weight, hydrating and gently mends my hair; and the Deep Repair Masque (with a little healing oil mixed in) is my new ‘put my hair back to health’ treatment conditioner. My hair just adores this deep conditioning product which it drinks it up. This treatment masque really hydrates, rejuvenates and makes my hair so healthy and shiny after I use it. And one more unexpectedly wonderful perk, because of the amazing absorption of these products, it significantly reduces my blow drying time too–overall just FAB!

Obviously, I am crazy about the Macadamia Natural Oil Products (maybe the foodie in me really responds to the whole yummy nut thing) and I think you will be too. Right now Macadamia Natural Oil is offering a “Get Hooked” Sample Pack which includes a mini Healing Oil Treatment and a 1 oz. Deep Repair Masque for only $5 plus free shipping. This is a $15 value and a great way to get a feel for my two fav products from this line. You can order your sample pack HERE.

I have been trying out the Moroccanoil Hair Products for a couple of months now, and I must confess that I am absolutely in love with these fabulous, effective, yummy smelling products! My hair absolutely drinks up this luscious locks elixir and I kid you not, everyday is a good hair day when I use these products. My hair is soft, shiny, smooth and uber healthy looking since I started using these wonderful products. And I am totally addicted to the fresh, clean white musk smell.

The secret weapon behind this line is a a proprietary argan oil-infused blend which is rich in vitamins and natural elements that fortify the hair, including Vitamin F (Omega 6), Vitamin A to improve elasticity, Vitamin E to protect against free-radicals, and Phenols to shield against environmental stressors. This is an impressive, magical line of products and I haven’t been this impressed by a haircare line in quite a while. Below is a quick glimpse of my favorite products in the line.

The Original Moroccanoil Oil Treatment (My Favorite Product): It’s a light weight, multi-purpose shine enhancing, smoothing, conditioning serum that does it all. It restores shine, strengthens, conditions, and reduces drying time. I use it before drying my hair to smooth and protect and after my hair is dry to add shine–I LOVE LOVE this product.

Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner: This duo is emollient yet gently cleansing and my hair just loves it. The weight and efficacy of the products is just perfect. And I just love the clean musk smell it leaves on my hair. It is color safe, hydrating, keratin enriched, sulfate, phosphate and paraben free.

Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask: This is a yummy, rich, deep conditioning treatment that really hydrates and revitalizes the hair. My hair drinks up this much needed moisture in the winter months and I use it once a week to bring my parched chemically processed hair back to life. And here’s a little Romy Raves Tip: Add about a quarter size amount of the Original Moroccanoil to this conditioner to really intensify the treatment. Divine!

Moroccanoil Restorative Hair Mask: This is a more of a healing treatment product compared to the Hydrating Mask. This mask is enriched with keratin and it restores, repairs and rebuilds the elasticity of the hair. I use this once a month as a mending and healing treatment for my environmentally stressed hair, and I would describe it more as a fix-it anti-aging product for the hair.

This is definitely a hall of fame line of products IMO and you can find the entire line HERE. Please post and let me know what you think or share your fav transformational hair products.
