    This is a great brand - thanks to the product review club for letting us try it out. I usually use a masque once a week (I have fine hair, and find masques, including this one, can weigh it down if I use too often), so I swapped my usual for this one. It has a nice creamy texture, and a great scent, which lasted once my hair was dry. I had recently got my long, blonde hair highlighted, which can leave it dry and damaged, and I did think this masque helped to leave it silkier and smooth and healthy feeling. My only issue with this product is the price. I think that the masque I usually use (which is also from the cheaper, regular L'oreal line!!) does just as good a job - I couldn't really see or feel a huge difference between this masque and my usual, which is about half the price. This masque is a good product and special treat for your hair if you're willing to drop the money on it!

    I generally like hair masques and leave regular conditioner on for a couple minutes, so I had high hopes for this one. But I really didn't see a difference although my hair did feel a tiny bit thicker. I'd rather stick to my regular conditioner that works just as well and costs half the price

    I didn't really feel too big of a difference with this product! I don't usually use hair masques so I gave this to my mom to try and she didn't really feel it was all too special either. It seems to accomplish the same thing as a lot of cheaper alternatives! It's a fine product but the price is really what gets me :S

    Thanks to the Review club for allowing me to try out this product! Overall, I think the product worked very well. The masque has a great scent, which I found did linger in my hair for a few hours, which was a nice side effect. It definitely left my wavy, and somewhat frizzy hair soft and smooth. I didn't use it every single day that I shampooed my hair though, I only used it every single day as it did tend to weigh my hair down a little bit. If my hair was thicker than I probably would have used it every single day.
    The price is a bit high, but not completely irrational, and I think that is to be expected with salon quality products.
    The only thing that I was not fond of what the container that it came in, I would have much rather preferred it to be in a pump bottle, or even a squeeze bottle would have been better than what it currently comes in. It can make for a sticky mess on your hands. Other than that, I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a good repair masque. Thanks again Chick Advisor!

    id say that this is not worth the price, i felt that it did nothing more than any other store brand. the slight banana smell was good, but i like my fragrance to last a little, and it does not. i also did not like that the bottle is a jar not a squeeze bottle, as i hate digging my hands in to get the masque out. also does not offer much in the way of detangling, i had a heck of a time combing my hair out afterwards. overall its fine, but nothing special.

    I received the L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque from ChickAdvisor to try out and review. I have tried other repair masques in the past, but this has given me the best results for my hair, which is usually dry in the winter months. The masque was able to leave my hair hydrated and feeling smooth and very manageable - virtually tangle free! I followed the product instructions which said to apply onto damp hair and leave on for 2-3 mins and then rinse off. I did not have issues with any residue left over and it did not weigh down my hair, which is usually a concern for me since my hair is fine.

    I enjoyed the scent of the masque and it did linger in my hair, so that was also a pleasant bonus. I also liked the fact that I didn't need to use a lot of product in order to hydrate my long hair. This product will end up lasting me a long time because of this. I basically used a quarter size amount and it was enough to give fantastic results. My hair also looked shinier and had an overall healthy appearance.

    The only thing I would change would be to put the product into a container where you can pump it out instead of having to dig your fingers into it, as well as lower the price, since it can be pretty expensive for some to buy on a regular basis. Apart from that, an excellent hair product!

    Thanks Product Review Club for selecting and giving me an opportunity to try this product. I am using the Loreal Professional Instense Repair Masque together with the shampoo it came with. I am so far very happy with the results.

    The smell of this masque is pretty good, the consistency is just perfect and is easy to apply and easy to rinse out. I am using it according to instructions and very pleased with the results. My hair definitely feel soft and smooth. The true test was when I blow dry and wow, super impressed. No more frizzy crazy hair, so manageable and so bouncy and soft to touch that can't stop my hands touching again and again. My hair tend to weigh down and roots tend to be oily after using regular conditioners, but not with this masque, I just make sure to not to apply it to the roots.

    My hair are just loving this product and I am happy the way my hair responded to this masque alongwith the shampoo.I just did not like that it comes in jar, I would prefer a bottle or a tube as it is just like the consistency of regular conditioners. I feel contents in jar get contaminated when dispensing product with fingers. Also, I wish it can be used right after rinsing shampoo and do not have to towel dry your hair before its application as I would hate to leave shower and then come back again to finish up. It is extra work and effort, but somehow I manage with this step. I first shampoo my hair, then finish my shaving and shower and then wring my hair with towel, shake them a little and then apply this masque.

    The price is another thing, but like shampoo it is salon exclusive so expected to be this much expensive. In nutshell, I am pleased with this product and would definitely buy it again to pamper myself and would recommend to anuone with dry frizzy crazy hair like me.

    I was able to try the hair mask through the review club. I am glad that i did, because it a bit pricey and don't think that i would cough up the money for it on the spot. But in trying it and seeing results through healthy, shiny, manageable hair I would pay for it. I would rather it be in a different container becasue like others i tended to scoop out more than i really needed to put in my hair but that was the only drawback. It was thick and smelled wonderful and coated my hair great!

    The L'Oreal professional intense repair masque works well, I'm not sure about it's cost effectiveness compared to other masques, but it works well. The product smells nice and did a good job moisturizing my hair (mid-length and dry), even in a wide variety of environments (I brought it with me to Hawaii)! One problem I did have was actually using the tub that the masque was in. It was awkward to unscrew the large lid, then scoop out a reasonable amount of product, spread it on your hair, and shut the lid while avoiding excess water from the shower entering. A squeeze bottle would really have been easier.

    love the masque, the smell is fantastic! It's thicker than some others I've tried and I like that, I know it's getting into my hair. Works well, leaves my hair feeling soft and healthy. The price is a bit high but worth it! Maybe put into a squeeze bottle; i tend to take more out with the big opening.
