Beauty Review: Marc Anthony Repairing Macadamia Oil Hair Care

001
diclosure-review giveaway

You all know that I am a huge fan of Marc Anthony Hair Care products. He merges nature with hair care and comes out with pure genius sulfate-free products. They smell amazing and work AMAZING. If you haven’t you should definitely check out the reviews for the Argan Oil Hair Care Line and the Argan Oil Styling Collection.
image
They have a new line they recently added that contains macadamia oil. Macadamia Oil is known to nourish and revitalize hair that has become dull and damaged. That’s why I was excited to see that they had a complete Macadamia Oil Hair Care line that comes with Shampoo, Conditioner, Deep Healing Treatment, and Weekly Conditioning Treatment.

I also love the fact that Marc Anthony always does Sulfate-Free hair care. Sulfates within shampoos and hair care basically strips the hair of its natural oils and causes lasting damage. That’s why I try and avoid it at all costs.

The Shampoo and Conditioner
002

The Shampoo and Conditioner both have a warm tropical scent. It is very intoxicating and refreshing. Makes me think I’m soaking up the sun on the sand by the beach.. ahh.. It has a vanilla/nutty fragrance that kind of reminds me of tanning oil in a way.. I love it.

The shampoo has a decent lather, which is a good thing. Most sulfate-free shampoos don’t lather very well, so that was a welcome surprise. It does clean very well and I have a naturally oily scalp. My hair was clean, soft, and didn’t feel weighed down.

The conditioner is fantastic. It has the same tropical/nutty/vanilla scent as the shampoo, which I like very much. My hair felt very moisturized and nourished after I used it. Although my scalp is oily the rest of my hair can get dry at times and I could immediately tell the Macadamia oil was giving my hair the nourishment it had been missing.



The conditioner soaks right into my hair, and very little is needed. I leave it on for about 3-4 minutes for extra benefits. I love that there is no left over residue or oily film on my hair. It looks healthy and shiny and I owe it all to Marc Anthony Hair Care products!

The Deep Healing Conditioning Treatment
004
This has the same delicious scent as the shampoo and conditioner. This is an amazing hair and scalp treatment that is used weekly. The natural ingredients naturally repair and revitalize dry, damaged hair. It is almost like the consistency with a thicker, richer consistency.

I love how well and how quickly this soaks into my hair, and only about a quarter amount is needed to coat my entire hair. One packet is $4.90 but you can definitely get more than just one use of the packet. If your hair is short you could possibly get 3-4 uses.

I would highly recommend this to someone who styles their hair with heat, dyes it, or perms it. If you use a deep conditioner on a weekly basis the damage isn’t so apparent. There aren’t any splitting or breaking hairs. Nothing but soft, manageable, beautiful hair.

The Oil Treatment
003
I am in LOVE with the hair treatment. This is a very versatile hair oil. You can put this on damp hair before you dry it, or after you’ve already straightened your hair. I love how lightweight it is. It doesn’t make my hair look or feel oily yet it takes away ALL the frizz instantly.

It not only COATS the dry, damaged hair to make it look flowing and healthy but it goes deep down into the hair shaft to actually TREAT the damage. It smells amazing and is perfect for on the go. Since summer is here, this would be perfect to put in your beach bag for a day out!



“We love to find the little hidden gems that Mother Nature provides for our health and well-being. No matter what, we always have clients whose hair needs some serious TLC and for this we look to nature’s Macadamia Oil and Bamboo. Our favorite part of this blend is that it is both lightweight and rich at the same time, which makes it perfect for just about every one of our clients.”
