Moroccan Oil vs Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment

The thought of putting oil onto your hair is probably a concept that scares many, however over the past 18 months the popularity of hair oil treatments, and in particular 'Moroccan Oil', have absolutely soared. Hair oils are designed specifically to nourish the hair, make them silky, soft and repair any damage done to the ends.
Perhaps the most popular of the hair oils is Moroccan Oil. Moroccan Oil contains argan oil, a plant oil which is valued for its ability to moisturize and nourish the hair, and immediately absorbs into the hair to enhance shine and give the hair an extra bit of conditioning. 

I received Moroccan Oil as a christmas gift last year and instantly fell in love with it. After washing my hair I pumped a coin sized amount of the product into my hand and smoothed it through the bottom quarter of my hair. The results were amazing; my hair was left shiny and felt the softest it had in years. Seven months down the line and i've even noticed a considerable amount of growth in my hair, something that i've struggled with since 2010! 
The beauty of Moroccan Oil, and hair oils in general, is that they can be used on both wet and dry hair. If, after a couple of days of your hair being washed your hair is looked rather dry, dull and limp, simply pump some oil into the palm of your hand and smooth through your hair for instant revival! And the best part? Unlike what many may think, Moroccan Oil doesn't leave your hair looking greasy or feeling sticky to touch, just smooth, silky and everything you could dream of your hair being. 

Another popular hair oil is Macadamia's healing oil treatment. I've purchased Macadamia products in the past and always been thrilled with the results on my hair; the way they left my hair smooth, tangle free and shiny was amazing. Macadamia hair combines two of the world's most luxury oils to create the ultimate hair products. The Macadamia healing oil treatment provides everything you would want in a hair oil, however an added bonus with this specific hair oil is that it reduces drying time by 50%, preventing unnecessary heat damage to your hair!
The consistency of Macadamia healing oil treatment is slightly more runny than Moroccan Oil, however is still thick enough to control and run through your hair with ease. Also, unlike Moroccan Oil, only one pump of product was needed to smooth through my hair, whereas I needed two-three with Moroccan Oil. The Macadamia packaging also trumps Moroccan Oil, in my opinion. Available in their signature green and brown bottles, the Macadamia packaging is stylish yet practical, and with a pump that twists to close, makes the product travel friendly by preventing any spilling or leaking away. 

Both products smell amazing and leave your hair with that 'professional' smell that you get after a visit to the hairdressers, however if I had to chose between the two, Macadamia has my vote!
Leaving my hair that extra bit softer than Moroccan Oil, Macadamia healing oil treatment also leaves my hair looking more sleek and split end free than Moroccan Oil, and while I can't comment on how much it speeds up hair growth, I can't see it hindering it any time soon. An added bonus comes with the price of Macadamia oil. For an extra 25ml and almost £6 less in some instances, Macadamia healing oil treatment has it all and has definitely overtook Moroccan Oil in one of my favourite hair products of all time.
