Macadamia Natural Oil - Luxe Travel Set

If you have dry and quite thick hair like me, you'll know what a struggle it is to keep it hydrated and healthy looking. I have to be very careful with the products I use on my hair, as my scalp is quite sensitive too. When the Macadamia Natural Oil Luxe Travel Set arrived in the office, I literally grabbed it and took it home.... and my hair has been thanking me for doing it ever since. My Favourite two products of the whole set are the Healing Oil Treatment and the Deep Repair Masque. I apply the oil after washing my hair (when its damp but not dripping) and brush it through. I apply it from the middle to the ends of my hair with a massage; I let my hair absorb it for about 5 minutes and then brush my hair again. Once my hair is dry it feels silky and very soft. The Deep Repair Masque is a miracle product for my type of hair. It's rich, smells amazing and you can feel how nourishing it is when you apply it on to your hair. My hair loves this mask - it literally transforms like nothing else.

I enjoyed the rest of the products too, however, I found it really difficult to work with the Rejuvenating Shampoo, as it's formula is Sulfate-Free and therefore, it doesn't foam and lather like a regular shampoo.

The Amazing Blog rates Macadamia Natural Oil products very highly. They're perfect for dry and damaged hair types - they're luxurious and lovely to use. My hair has never been as nourished as it is now. You can buy the Luxe Travel Set from Macadamia Natural Oil's website for £45.00.

Mashooq Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment

I've never been too fussy about my haircare routine, I would use any shampoo and conditioner that did the job and left my hair shiny. However, my hair has grown quite a lot in the past few months and the ends have been feeling (and looking...) very dry - my hair's overall appearance was very dull and boring. I've tried intensive repair masks which have left my hair glossy and nourished just after washing it and feeling even drier and heavy the next day. At The Amazing Blog we came across the skin and hair brand Mashooq and decided to give their Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment a try - I've come to the conclusion that you don't know what a deeply nourished and silky hair is until you apply a quality hair oil to it. Mashooq products are the result of an exquisite blend of natural oils including coconut, olive, palm, whet germ, almond and sunflower which are full of vitamins and minerals to nourish and protect the hair and skin. Mashooq Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment can be used on two different ways: it can be used as a soak for 10 to 20 minutes before shampooing to strengthen the hair and adding a gorgeous shine - just wrap the oiled hair in a hot towel or cover it with a shower cap while soaking in the bath. You can also apply the Penetrating Oil Treatment before harsh treatments such as bleaching, colouring, perming or relaxing to protect the hair from damage. My favourite my way to use this oil is applying it before going to bed, leaving it in the whole night and shampooing as you would the next morning.

We also had the chance to try their Moisturising Hair Serum, that applied to dry hair gets rid of the frizziness and adds nice sheen. The packaging of the Mashooq products is convenieny, ideal for travelling and easy to store too.

You can purchase Mashooq Penetrating Oil Treatment in different sizes (100 ml, 250 ml and 500ml) for £7.99, £13.99 and £21.00 from their website and from Amazon.
