Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque

For my 26th birthday, I decided  to tour Copenhagen [and Arhus], Paris, Amsterdam and Kiles for my birthday. While I thought I was enriching my soul and spirit I didn't realize that I was ruining my hair in the process. My hair sadly, no matter how much conditioner, oils and love I put in it,  I was still getting a dry scalp. I had bought a travel size packet of this to use during a down day as way for when I got homesick I had something familiar. The macadamia, argan, tea tree, and chamomile oil enriched hair masque made my frizzy dry hair super smooth and soft. While I find the mask very rich and  `heavy´, I found using a small amount or mixing it regular conditioner does a better job as it wouldn’t make my hair feel weighed down. The deep conditioning masque is also packed with aloe and algae extract that left hair smell yummy and not overpowering. I love this masque although it is a bit pricey, I will be bringing it whenever I travel.

The Philip B hair mask is packed with l-amino acid complex and Persian katira extract. The lightweight paraben free formula promises to leave your hair soft, silky, and shiny. The formula has Jello consistency and it was really hard to work into my hair and most of the product fell in clumps in the tub.  The first time I used the hair masque, my hair became really sticky, dull looking and unmanageable.  The second time I used the mask my hair felt soft, bouncy, and body. I had mixed in some of my regular conditioner to make the masque’s consistency a bit smoother and used a shower cap to keep the treatment in place. I am guessing I just got a bad batch or bottle. I did read somewhere  that with gel masque to coat wet or dry hair from roots to ends, leave on until it hardens, then rinse out.  I guess I will try the next time, if I decided to buy this mask again.

During the winter my skin gets really dry and I read some really good reviews about this product. I bite the $60 [plus taxes and shipping] bullet and ordered it. I was a bit intimidated by the 3 foot multilanguage pamphlet. Truth be told halfway in, I gave up reading and I just decided to use it nightly. The interesting thing about this product is it could be used as a weekly treatment, used in combination with other products or as a daily use [thin layer for 2 to 3 weeks] depending on your skin’s needs. So far, I have been using it nightly and I am really impressed by the results. My skin was smoother, softer, hydrated throughout the day, and dewy looking. I keep getting compliments how great my skin looks and people asking how old I am. People thought I was 18 years old at the most and they could not believe I was 25 years old [wait, a true lady never reveals her age, I am 21!]. I believe I stumbled upon the fountain of youth. The creamy masque has a sweet botanical scent, which makes it so relaxing to apply. The masque is formulated with rose, jasmine, shiu, jojoba and sandalwood which not only has a nice scent but is good for your skin.
