Ok first off I received as part of the product review club.

Before this I had never really tried L'oreal salon products. I've tried their drugstore line before and wasn't impressed so I didn't know if the salon line would be anything worth trying. I have seen this shampoo selling for about 20 dollars or so and honestly I was too cheap to spend that much. My hair isn't chemically treated or dyed in any way and I refrain from using heat usually- so I feel like I have less damage to deal with than the average person. That being said, I do still deal with average hair concerns. During winter when its dry out, I get lots of frizz. A LOT, since I have very fine hair to begin with. The cold air really amps up my frizz an fly aways.

As with most shampoo and treatment/conditioner duos, I find the treatment to be the standout product and the thing that I get the most results from. If I had to pick one of the two, I would pick the masque. I'm not 100% sure I would go out and purchase this at full price, but if I did, I would choose this over the shampoo.

Alright lets get to the product. Its a thick cream thats a bit nutty (?) smelling. It's not bad but I don't love it. It has a smooth buttery consistency. After I rinse this out, my hair feels smooth and hydrated. but not weighed down. Compared to Biolage conditioning balm this feels a bit lighter, but in a good way. The Biolage is nice, but its a bit too heavy for my hair. Also, I HATE the smell of that one. I think I prefer this over the Biolage, just based on scent alone. Both of them are pretty heavy duty, so I only use them when my hair is feeling extra dry.

The packaging of this masque isn't remarkable. Standard tub with screw off lid. It can be a bit diffuclt to unsrew the lid especially when my hands are wet and slippery, and I don't really like having to dip my fingers into a product. The Biolage also comes in a tub, so its obviously a standard packaging choice but I wish the person who designed the packaging had been a bit more creative, What about adding a small pump to the lid? Or putting in a squeze tube? *Side note* I re used the tube from Aussie 3 minute miracle to put my biolage in, its so much better that way**

So all in all I really like this treatment, and I glad I had the chance to try it. It's probably not something I would have gone out and bought on my own. Thanks you for sending it, guys!

This repair masque has a nice light scent that is not too strong. It is very light weight and didn't weigh down my hair or leave it feeling oily. I couldn't believe how smooth and shiny my hair was after using it. I will definitely continue to use this product as part of my hair care routine.

L'Oreal Professionnal Intense Repair Masque is fantastic! It makes my hair soft and manageable and has a great, not over-powering smell. I have not been using it everyday because it's an "intense" treatment and I didn't want to over use it, and it's also a small container, so I wanted to make it last longer. It does not say on the bottle if it is a daily product or a weekly product, I thought this was very unusal.

I did not like the fact that you are supposed to towel dry your hair before you put it on. To be honest, I didn't really do that... I just squeezed out the extra water. I don't think it would really make a difference because the first ingredient is water, anyway. Speaking of ingredients, the second one list is blacked out!? On both the masque and the shampoo... did anyone else notice this on their bottles?

I thought the container, being a pot, rather than a bottle was a little awkward to use in the shower.

Overall, a great product. I would buy it again!

Editor's Note: L'Oreal Professionnel has informed ChickAdvisor that the 'blacking out' of one product ingredient is due to a translation oversight on the packaging and is in no way intended to be deliberately misleading. The blacked out ingredient is "water".

I have dry hair that requires extra attention to hydrate it and make it look soft and smooth. I was delighted to have the opportunity to try this product through the Review Club. My hair will get so dry at times that if I rub it between my fingers it will "crunch". I used this masque in combination with the corresponding shampoo. The masque is rich and creamy in texture and has a pleasant tropical scent. I would have preferred to have this masque treatment in a tube rather than a tub as it would have improved the ease of application.

This masque was to be applied after shampooing to towel-dried hair as per the instructions. However, I just squeezed as much water out of my hair as possible while in the shower and it worked well for me. The masque was easily absorbed into my damp hair. I was actually able to run my hand through my shoulder length hair with the masque on, it had great detangling abilities! I can't do that with most conditioners I use. My hair felt soft, lightweight and silky with the masque on. After a couple minutes I rinsed my hair. The masque rinsed out easily, leaving no residue behind. Compared to other deep conditioning products I have used, I prefer this product for the silky smooth feeling it leaves on my hair and its detangling ability. It is superior in these regards.

This product worked well in combination with the L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo. My hair was left softer and smoother to the touch. My hair was also more hydrated and the dryness disappeared. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone needing intensive conditioning due to dry hair. It is pricey but a very good quality masque that yields excellent results.

I used this after washing my hair. I didn't really know what to expect as I don't usually use hair masks, but I was really impressed by the results after using it just once. My hair felt noticebly softer and looked shinier after I dried it.

The texture is really creamy with a very nice scent. The packaging is very nice looking, however the twist off lid jar isn't very convienent to use.

I really liked the results it gave me after just using it once. However, I think it might be too greasy for those with oily hair.

I would definately reccommend this to someone who has dry/damaged hair. As for purchasing this for myself, I may have to reconsider because the price is pretty steep.

Overall, this is a really great product, especially for those with dry hair!

I used this masque after using the L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo. Just like the Shampoo, I like the material of this tub, just didn't like the tiny writings. The masque is thick and a little does go a long way. It does not lather like shampoo does, but it's a masque, so that's expected. You simply cover all over and wait the 2-3 minutes. When I was rinsing out the masque, I felt the moisture staying behind even as the product was being washed out.
When I blow dryed my hair after using this, it looked great. It looked so healthy, voluminous and "repaired".
This price is a bit much, but I might buy the masque because it works well.

I received this from chickadvisor to test out and have been using this for about a week now. When I first tried this, I used it to my roots to the ends. Even though it says to towel dry, I don't. I just wrung my hair then apply it. It made it easier to comb through my hair and when my hair dried, it was so soft. However, it did make my hair a bit shiny which made it look a bit greasy. Maybe it's because I have black hair. So now I just apply it to the point of my ears down to the tip. It is a bit pricey for me but you really don't need a lot and I think It will last a really long time.

After trying out this repair masque for my dry and damaged hair, I noticed that it did soften my wavy hair and made it a lot easier and faster for me to straighten my hair with a flat iron.

Thick texture and nice scent.

The price is steep for a masque, but it actually does help when your hair is in need of a good repair!

What I liked:

- The smell. It has a summery, coconutty smell that appeals to me. It also has an undertone of...mango...maybe that isn't necessary. The coconut smell lingers on the hair, and it's quite pleasant when you toss your hair around.
- The consistency. It's thick and feels luxurious.
- It works really well. My hair was soft and shiny.

What I didn't like:

- I felt like I had to use a lot, and I have fine/thin hair.
- I couldn't comb it through without adding some water even though the directions say to apply to towel-dried hair.
- It weighs the hair down.
- The packaging. I would prefer a tube, because it's really awkward to use a jar in the shower.

All in all, I liked using this conditioner. I don't like it enough to replace my normal conditioner, but I will enjoy using up the rest of this jar. I will miss the smell when it's gone.

I really liked this product. It made my hair feel softer and smoother. I have curly hair so the only problem I had with it was it gave me quite a few fly aways. The price seems a little extreme to me when you can buy similar products for around $13-15 instead of $25-30. The product is gentle on your hair. The smell is ok, not too strong, but not what I would call 'nice' either. I don't like the instructions to towel dry your hair and then rinse off, who does that? I would rather have a leave in product or squeeze your hair to remove excess water and then rinse out after using the product. I am glad I got it through the review club because I never would had paid that much for this product. I recommend it, but I won't be buying it.
