Banishing Frizzies Just in Time for Christmas: Stuff My Stocking, Stuffer 17

Banishing Frizzies Just in Time for Christmas: Stuff My Stocking, Stuffer 17

By Margo Ghertner

Wintertime always stresses me out when it comes to my beauty routine. Cold wind and dry air is detrimental to my sensitive skin and incredibly damaging to my coarse, frizzy hair. Since I’m a beauty junkie, I’m always trying to figure out which products will make my routine as easy, minimal, and stress-free as possible.

Today on Stuff My Stocking, I am so excited to tell you about my newest haircare obsession that has SAVED my hair here in old cold Boston, where I live: the Macadamia Professional Nourishing Moisture Mask and Nourishing Moisture Oil Treatment Bundle ($75.95) to strengthen, repair, moisturize, and prevent breakage. The bundle includes a Moisture Mask (8oz) as well as a Nourishing Moisture Oil Treatment (4.2 oz).

Don’t be put off by the price. A little goes a long way. Macadamia’s whole line is super-rich yet lightweight. And, these products smell DIVINE!

Curious about how to use? I’m here to help!

Here’s how I integrated these products into my routine:

First I used the mask after my conditioner to really lock in the moisture for my hair, but you can use the mask in place of your conditioner. I let it sit on my ends for about 10 minutes to ensure that I would be frizz-free. Next, I towel-dried my hair and used the Moisture Oil Treatment on my ends to protect my hair from heat before my blow-dry. You can also use the Moisture Oil Treatment on dry hair, post blow-dry, or anytime your hair needs extra shine and moisture.

This bundle is such a great deal and it’s perfect for anyone who is constantly on the go. You can't go wrong with this for a holiday gift, as it’s perfect for curly or straight hair. Even girls with fine hair should be okay with this -- the products are nourishing without feeling heavy.

Frizz-free hair for the holidays? Count me in!
