happy hair: Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque

Macadamia Oil Repair Masque
after seeing several rave review videos on youtube about this product i kinda figured i had to try it out.. i have been using it for a couple of months now..




what: deep conditioning hair treatment for damaged hair
how: in shower, once a week (can be used twice a week), 7 minute treatment

pros:
-i love the smell.. both while using it and the way it makes my hair smell afterwards as well
-the tub lasts a long time
-has really improved my hair


cons:
-it's a tad pricey.. but considering that you only use it once a week and don't have to use much.. it lasts for a long time..so the price (i believe $28 ish) isn't too bad
-the wow effect only really lasts about a day after use (this only means that the super soft hair feeling only lasts about a day.. the improving quality continues to last)


overall:
i think it's totally worth it and i will continue to use it and probably buy more in the future and i look forward to trying out other products from this brand..however, i'm not quite sure if it was the AMAZING product that other reviews let me believe. 

the importance of protection

heat protection that is...
so for the longest time (all of my life up until this past summer) i did not use any heat protection on my hair.. thought process being that if i didn't straighten my hair that i didn't need it.. but i was not considering the amount of heat that comes with a blow dryer..which is well hot air.. and then for a while there i was curling my hair on a very regular basis... well i started to notice how dry my hair was getting..which was just not okay!! so i purchased some heat protection spray..and it really does make a difference.. i promise! my hair (especially the ends) does not feel as dry after blow drying it and well maybe it's all in my head but i feel like my hair has been stronger too :) i've been using John Frieda Frizz-Ease Heat Defeat Protective Styling Spray  and am now on my second bottle.
