:::Review::: Macadamia Deep Repair Masque


Hola Gorgeous!! 
I've been in the market for good deep conditioner for a long time. I kept reading reviews and watching videos, you know the usual online research ;) but couldn't really decide on which one to get.  
As you might already be able to tell by the tittle, today I'm going to do a review on the amazing Macadamia Deep Repair Masque. 

I went to Ulta a few weeks ago to pick up some goodies I 'needed', and I said "why not, let's give the Macadamia masque a try". So hoping for the best, I splurged on the 8.5oz jar.  Go big or go home right? 
Well guess what? Those were the best $33 I've spent in my life!
 (Exaggerated much? Lol ) 

First of all the coconuty flowery packaging is so cute, and the scent is not overwhelming at all. It's smells so fresh and clean, it kind of reminds me of being on a beach vacation. 
The directions said you have to apply it to clean, wet hair. So as usual I washed my hair with my 2 favorites Redemption Shampoo & Conditioner by Beauty Society. 
I squeezed the excess water and applied the masque, combing it into my hair. 
Left it on for 7 minutes and rinsed it off.  The results were immediate, it was a little crazy. 
My hair felt extra soft and hydrated, no knots at all. My hair has gotten super long since I started using the Redemption Shampoo & Conditioner so I've been struggling with some annoying knots. I was so happy that after just a little combing in the shower with this conditioner my hair was "knot free" after just one use. :)
Once I got out of the shower I let my hair air dry, my hair was smooth and extra shinny with zero frizz. 
The yummy fragrance stood on my hair for a several of hours after I  got out of the shower, I was so excited that I used the conditioner 3 times that first week. 
(Opps ;) Packaging says use twice weekly)
I even used a tiny bit in my daughters hair during her bath. Her hair is super super long and curly, sometimes a huge struggle to untangle if not properly taken care of. I left the conditioner on for 2-3 minutes while I was untangling her hair. She felt special using mom's jar conditioner and loved the smell.  The results on her hair were amazing as they were with mommy. We are both in love with our Macadamia Deep Repair Masque. 

Tell me in the comments bellow what is your Favorite deep conditioner? Do you buy them or only use DIY's ?

Until next time! besitos, Mary <3
