Wise She MAC Caviar Dreams Eyeshadow Giveaway Entry (3) by Maha

Lately, many of us having been hearing about the benefits of Macadamia Hair oil and Argan oil for hair.
Macadamia Oil - Very rich in essential fatty acids, macadamia oil has the distinctive feature of resembling sebum. This replication of the natural oils our scalp produces for protection make it an ideal enriching & replenishing agent with rapid absorption. Macadamia natural hair oil, contrary to the floating myth, does not make the scalp and hair greasy. In fact, this oil gets readily absorbed into the hair follicles and scalp, thereby leaving no scope for greasiness to develop on the scalp. This oil is also touted for its synergy with the capillary sebum, thereby increasing the strength of the hair strand right to the root. It is thus, capable of moisturizing and strengthening rough and limp hair.

Argan Oil - Argan oil is produced from the kernels of argan tree fruit. These trees only grow in a few regions, like Morocco, so this oil is one of the rarest in the world due the small supply and the limited growing area hence the high price and the hype. Chemically speaking argan oil consists of a blend of fatty acids (over 70% oleic and linoleic acids.) It is also rich in vitamin E, phenols, and carotenes. Since it’s so rich in essential fatty acids, it is used in skin or hair treatments.

What I like about the Healing Oil Treatment

• It is one of the best products that I have used on my hair. It makes my hair silky and smooth and detangles it instantly.
• My hair never feels greasy and it tames down any amount of frizz that I may have. It gets absorbed almost instantly.
• Doesn’t give me any hair fall.
• It also claims to have UV protection which is a first of its kind at least as far as I am concerned.
• A little product goes a long way so the bottle is going to last me for a very long time.
• The pump dispenser is an added plus since it is easy to use and also it has a lock mechanism. So you don’t have to worry about spilling.

What I don’t like about the Healing Oil Treatment -

• First of all, it is definitely not wholly natural. Contains parabens. But as far as it is beneficial, I’m ignoring it.
• If you are going to go overboard with the amount needed, it tends to weigh down the hair but still doesn’t make it greasy.
• It has a pleasant smell but people with sensitive nose may not like it. I have sensitive nose yet this one somehow doesn’t annoy me.
• Availability. We can only order it online.
• Ok there is no miraculous rejuvenation. The effect lasts only until the next wash. I’m wondering may be prolonged usage might help.

Wise she rating 4/5 (I have taken points only for the parabens part else I would have given it a 5 )

Will I recommend this We all are ready to spend so much on serums that are loaded with chemicals and cause hairfall most of the times. If you are looking out for a good serum, you might want to try this. You could try the 10 ml one first to know if it suits you. Thats what I did J

What I like about the Nourishing Leave-In Cream

• I generally don’t prefer leave-ins after my stint with Wella but I have to say I liked this one better or at least this one suited me better.
• It has a creamy texture and doesn’t weigh my hair down. Doesn’t make it greasy either.
• Gets absorbed instantly and detangles my hair wonderfully.
• Doesn’t give me any hairfall.
• The smell is not as strong as the healing oil.
• Pump dispenser with a lock mechanism.

What I don’t like about the Nourishing Leave-In Cream

• Parabens!
• Not an absolute necessity unless it is absolutely necessary to use a leave-in

Wise she rating 3.5/5

Will I recommend this It is a really good leave-in conditioner but not an absolute necessity. If you are looking for a good leave-in you might want to try this.

As far as both the products are concerned, I will definitely repurchase them especially the healing oil treatment. I got the leave-in just because I had to pay only $9 extra to get them as a set rather than the oil alone. And I needed a good leave-in too.

I got the Macadamia Healing Nourishment Set from feelunique.com for $52.33. The shipping is absolutely free and the package reaches within 7-10 days. I had previously ordered the 10ml sample of the healing oil from the same site.
