This stuff is the best serum/treatment for my hair that I've tried thus fair! It absorbs into my hair completely and the smell is very nice too. It really helps my ends appear healthy, something that they definitely are not! The only negative to this product is the price. Its soooo expensive so I buy it on ebay which is a bit cheaper than shoppers drug mart. Will continue to buy!

EDIT: TRAGEDY. This product broke me out horribly behind the ears, on my neck and hairline after about 4 days daily use. I stopped using it completely, and all the pimples went away. :(((
Love this! I have thick, slightly wavy hair that gets puffy when I blow dry it (and I HAVE to blow dry it). I rubbed a bit on the ends of my hair while wet and my hair was much smoother and not puffy at all after drying. It made my hair softer and shinier as well.
It has a light patchouli-reminiscent scent, but if you use it very sparingly, the smell dissipates quickly but still benefits your hair.

I've used Moroccan oil in the past and I definitely prefer Macadamia oil. It's cheaper, works just as well and smells better. I have been using this product for over a year and Have noticed a difference. My hair is very long (almost reaches my belly button), it has been bleached many times and I use heat styling tools on a regular basis... It's gone through hell and back so you can imagine the state that my hair was in. Macadamia oil has restored the shine and prevented split ends. I've also tried Argan oil but found that it did not perform as well as this product.

I got this for free at my salon and was excited to try it because of all the rave reviews. In short, I hated it. There are so many silicones it immediately gave my bleached blonde product sensitive hair split ends - EVERYWHERE. With the right products I never have split ends. Silicones always give them to me and I should have known with this I would get them. Not moisturizing, and the OPPOSITE of healing. At least I got it for free.

After reading amazing reviews on Amazon, I decided to give this product a go.
I have course curly hair which is a nightmare to blowdry as I always wear my hair straight. The product says that it reduces drying time by about 40-50% which is one of the main reasons for my purchase. The packaging of this product is a glass bottle with a plastic pump, you also have the option to unscrew the pump and pour the product direct into your palm if you so wish. I use this product after I wash my hair prior to blow drying. It smells absolutely gorgeous - fruity and slightly herbally at the same time, nothing too harsh or musky - just a very feminine scent. The oil itself is a dark orangey brown and at first has the texture and look of oil but it disappears once applied like a serum. Not greasy at all.
I use 1 to 2 pumps and it leaves my hair tangle free instantly and very silky to touch. Although I can't say I noticed it reducing my drying time by up to half I am still happy with this product as it bought my dull hair back to life. My hair feels strong, very shiny and elastic - which is important as I straigthen my hair with irons I want it to look as healthy and natural as possible.
I am currently trying to grow my hair and this certainly helps keep split ends away for longer. Highly recommend. Half the price of Morrocan Oil which has similar ingredients. When my bottle runs out I will repurchase.

I've been looking for a product that would leave my hair shiny, tangle-free, soft and conditioned and after reading all the reviews on amazon on it I decided to give it a go (it was around £12) and I absolutely love it! It's a cheaper alternative than the Moroccan Oil that is more than double the price. I also find the packaging of it a lot better than that of Moroccan Oil. It comes eiher with pump or with a spray/mist head and personally I love the spray/mist container simply because it's less messy and it sprays on the product lighty on my towel dry hair so I don't need to worry about having too much in my hair. It smells absolutely beautiful although it is a little too strong but my hair feels and looks healthier.
I absolutely recommend this product!

My hair is extremely fine, I have used Morroccan oil treatment before and loved it and this was supposed to be better. It is not, it does nothing to my hair except from weighing it down. My hair has no volume, it is quite shiny though. I cannot use it as a leave in conditioner as the hair just looks horrible after. I use it to soften the endings once the hair is dry, and also as pre-wash treatment.

While I'm a huge fan of Moroccan Oil, my daughter prefers Macadamia Natural Oil for her hair. I've tried it on occasion and have to admit that I much prefer the scent of this product over Moroccan Oil (which smells a bit musty and old-fashioned to me, though I know a lot of people love the scent). I also find it to be a good product - sort of on par with Moroccan Oil, to be honest. The other day, I was at HomeSense (a division of Winners) and saw the small sized bottles of this on sale so I picked up 2 of them - one for my daughter and one for myself. I figure it's just one more thing to help my hair through the beating it has been taking since I started going to hot yoga. I'm actually tempted to see what happens if I apply a large amount of this or of Moroccan Oil before a class to see if it might help keep the frizz and insane waves at bay.
Anyway, a pricey product but a good one, especially if you have thick, coarse or unruly hair.

I accidentally tried this product one time and i couldnt help to keep it for the rest of my life now. It was super good to my fuzzy and damaged hair. I have to do permanent straightening every 6 month, thus it hurts my hair a lot after doing so. Especially the root of the hair become very dry and broken and separated into 2 or 3 roots. I put this oil on (usually just two or three drops on the roots) after i wash my hair and before the blow dry. It just made a big difference! Even though i found it a little bit pricy (CND$36.99 in the mall, but sometimes Winners has them for $24.99 BEST DEAL i ve ever found, however, it usually runs out the next day and it took them a long time to have this brand's product to be restocked ><).
Anyways, i would highly recommend this produce until i find a less pricy one with the same quality :D

I love the pump packaging of this oil! i hate dealing with a greasy cap when i'm pouring out my oil (enjoy, orofluido, kendi...)! the consistency of this oil is really thick and can be off putting, but it doesn't weigh my hair down. it's fairly straight, pretty thick and more puffy than actually frizzy. I find that you really have to rub this stuff in and really distribute it through the hair evenly and thoroughly. gives it a great shine and sleekness without compromising body. be careful not to over do it. i use one pump, distribute it evenly and then another half pump for additional shine. not for fine or thin hair.

This product is sent from heaven! I was really sceptical seeing all the positive reviews, i mean how can a hair serum be that good. So i bought the small 30ml just to try it out. Im a total beauty product junky so ive tried almost every hair serum on earth! And this one is the absolute best!!
After washing my hair at night i rub this over my ends and the next day my hair is so smooth, my ends feel so hydrated. My hair looks so shiny and best of all healthy! From now on this is the only hair serum i will continue buying.

Alright, I scored big on this purchase. I was browsing through Target's clearance section, and I found this product in a 2 for 1 package for $9. YES, ONLY $9. It was an online return, so it was discounted from its original price of $32.
When I first bought this, I just knew it was expensive and really discounted, so I bought it. Typically I use CHI Silk Infusions in my hair as an oil, but this product quickly replaced it. It left my hair feeling very slippery and silky smooth, not to mention it destroyed most of my frizz. I usually only use half a pump for my long hair and it's plenty, so I expect these products to last a long time. Even though the smell is a little like men's cologne, I still love it and it ends up smelling nice once it's in your hair.
Overall, I LOVE this product. Would I buy it again for full price of 1 for $32? Probably not since I'm a broke college student, but I will fully enjoy and savor this product while my 2 for $9 supply lasts. From now on I'll be hunting the Target clearance sections for more!
(Only 4 stars because of the high cost of the normal pricing. )

I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THIS PRODUCT! I love using oil treatments in my hair prior to blowdrying. I got a mini size of this a couple years back from the hairdressers after bleaching my hair and have loved it ever since. After using that sample up (which actually took me ages so def worth the money!), I purchased the One'n'Only Argan Oil and hated the smell and the lack of results from that. This year I realised I could get my beautician to get me the Macadamia oil for a good price and have not gone a day without using it!
I brush my hair after coming out of the shower, moisturising etc. (its never recommended to brush your hair when its really wet as it causes more breakage) and then leave it again for a few mins to sit, then squeeze a small amount in to my palms warm it up and apply all through the ends of my hair. Then I leave it for 10 mins to slightly dry and then blow dry my hair. My hair will take an hour to be completely dry with a hair dryer!!! BUT with this it only takes me 15 mins! Another thing is that it starts to dry when I leave the oil in. I have noticed a massive difference in the health of my hair. My ends are a lot smoother and brushing my hair has become so much less painful as there's less knots, if hardly any.

I have been sucked into the Macadamia Natural Oil Hair Care line. Although, this healing oil spray works really well after using heating tools. It has a musky scent to it, nothing like the Deep Repair Masque or the leave in conditioner.It leaves my hair very sheen and soft, although the smell is a little strong for me. It comes in a small 4 oz bottle. It lasted me about 4 months and I only used it when I had straightened my hair. I apply it only to my ends since it helps with breakage. At Ulta it's about $13 a bottle. A little bit expensive for a small bottle but all Macadamia products are expensive. I will continue to use this healing spray only when I flat iron my hair. When I blow dry I stick to my TiGi Headrush Spray.

This is a really great hair oil - after months (years maybe?) of using Moroccan Oil, I though I would give this a try. So glad I did! Its lighter and smells divine. I feel like it leaves my hair feeling clean and not never oily. Love it - it's worth the price tag.

I got a free 0.34 oz. size of this with my Ulta points and my mom has been using argon oil for a while and it makes her hair look so good I thought I would try this. Plus I've heard great things about this brand so I thought I'd try it out! It was free after all!
One thing that bugs me is that it doesn't have a little dropper top, I was worried about accidentally spilling it everywhere so I transferred about half of it into a bottle with a dropper.
I worked about a dime sized amount of this from about my ear down to my ends on second day hair, then I would take a shower the next day to let the oil really work itself into my very split ends. If you brush your hair out really well and keep it away from your roots, you will not end up with greasy looking hair if you apply a small amount.
I don't know if this is just me, but the oil itself smells faintly like patchouli, which is not a favorite for me :P this may not affect all of you like it does me, but I still took off a lippy for it
After letting it sit in my hair for about two days, I took a shower and allowed my hair to air dry (BLOW DRYERS ARE EVIL) and I have noticed that my hair is very soft and shiny!
So far I am liking it (except for the smell :P) and will definitely finish the small bottle I have, but I do not plan to repurchase due to the smell.

Probably like the best product I ever bought in my life! My hair was soo fried and frizzy and coarse due to some chemical processing to my hair. Then I started using this and BAM. I hit gold. This makes my hair shiny and soo soft. It absorbs into the hair right away so no worries about a greasy look. It smells amazing (kind of musky) and this product will last you a really long time! This helped my hair so much to make it healthy again!

It has a strong musk scent initially but gradually fades. I apply to either wet or dry hair before I style however I prefer to use this when my hair is dry. It leaves my hair very shiny and soft. The frizziness is practically gone and I don't have to worry about losing a lot of body. One of my favorite hair oils to use. I look forward to getting the masque next. update 1/7/2013 I am still loving this and keep this in constant rotation with my other favorite oils to use. As time goes on I like to use this on my dry hair and I allow it to sink in. Gives gorgeous shine and my hair feels healthy and soft.

I really wanted to try this line. I got a bottle of this at ulta and I was so excited to use it. I got home washed my hair put this stuff in and them went on with my day..
I expected it to kill the frizz, and make my hair nice and shiny and healthy looking..
It did nothing at all for my hair. I have used things one forth the price that actually worked. I have used it several time since then and I still don't notice not one difference.
I really wanted to try the deep mask but I'm not so sure it will even work for me.

This stuff is super expensive. Luckily, I got it two for one at target it still cost 41 after tax though. Despite the price, I'd say it's worth it. I hate the smell its like old spice or something. I dont even have to use my flat iron anymore, i just blow it out straight. i dont need any other product in my hair anymore. its amazing. even my second day hair is amazing, no need to use dry shampoo or anything. will definitely repurchase.
