Discover The Secret To Healthy Hair

August 25, 2009 By 2 Comments

Macadamia Hair is the newest brand to include Natural Oils in their products.  Others that use Natural Oils include MoroccanOil, CHI Organics, DermOrganic and Enjoy! 

You might be wondering, why Macadamia Oil?  What sets them apart? 

Discover The Secret To Healthy Hair

For centuries, alchemists and healers worldwide have turned to nature’s rich resources for their medicinal powers.  With the oil from the macadamia nut found throughout the South Pacific and the uniquely rare argan seeds of North Africa’s Berber Region, nature has provided us with some of the most beneficial elements for healthful skin and hair.

Macadamia Natural Oil products combine the oils of these highly nutritional nuts with special blends of nature’s most nourishing botanicals to formulate the ultimate in hair rejuvenation and maintenance.

The Science Behind the Performance

Macadamia Oil: Very rich in essential fatty acids, Macadamia oil has the distinctive feature of resembling sebum. This replication of the natural oils our scalp produces for protection make it an ideal enriching & replenishing agent with rapid absorption.

Argan Oil: The oil is rich in Omega 9, Linoleic, Oleic, and unsaturated fatty acids – shown to be very beneficial in improving hair strength and health.

Why Macadamia?

Macadamia oil’s unique composition gives it an uncanny similarity and compatibility to your body’s own natural oils and allows for unbelievable absorption and rapid penetration into the hair and skin.

The Macadamia Natural Oil line of professional hair care products combines two of the world’s most valuable and beneficial oils, Macadamia and Argan, to provide the ultimate in hair rejuvenation and maintenance.

For thousands of years, Australian aborigines have consumed the macadamia nut for its high nutritional value and health-promoting benefits. Today, macadamia oil is widely revered for its incredible benefits to hair, skin and overall health by promoting shiny hair and radiant skin.

Argan Seed Oil, known as “liquid gold” to Moroccans, has been used by countless generations for its beneficial use in skin, hair, nail and therapeutic treatments. This rare and difficult to obtain oil restores shine and softness to dry, brittle hair while nourishing hair damaged by chemical services.

Together, macadamia oil and Argan oil replenish the hair’s natural emollients with the high content of essential fatty acids found naturally in both of these exceptional oils. The combined benefits help to nourish and protect the hair from harmful UV rays while repairing hair follicles for improved elasticity and shine.
