Overall L'Oreal Serie Expert Intense Repair masque smells great and worked well on my dry, frizzy hair. That said, when following the directions it is not an easy product to use. The directions require that you wash then towel dry you hair prior to applying the product. I did not interrupt my shower to towel dry my hair- I would like to know who would- rather, I wrung out my hair as best I could and then applied the product.

I have shoulder length hair, and felt that I had to use a lot of the product to get good coverage. However, after the allotted time was waited, I did notice that my hair was smoother, had more moisture and definitely had a healthier appearance.

When compared to other products. Ease of use comes to mind. I did find that it offered more results than other products tried in the past.

This would be a product I would buy in the future, and would recommend to anyone looking for a moisture surge, and managing dry frizzy hair.

Thanks Chick Advisor for giving me the opportunity to try this product out!

This is a thick, rich masque - so be warned: use liberally! Just a quarter-size blob is enough for my long, thick hair.
Although it's rich, I find that it's easy to rinse out, and doesn't leave any residue in my shower, or in my hair. It also makes my hair oh so soft, as promised.

Unlike my other hair treatments, this does not weigh my hair down, and makes my hair shinier.

I would recommend anybody with dry/damaged hair to give this a try!

1. What was your overall experience with this product? (e.g. ease of use, texture/scent, etc)
Overall it is okay and the scent is better than the shampoo which don't know why their scent is different for shampoo and masque. I don't really like to take the masque out of a container cause I feel like it will contaminate the whole container I would prefer a bottle with pump or squeeze ones.
2. Did you notice any changes to your hair? (e.g. smoothness, moisture levels, healthy appearance, etc)
My hair is a bit smoother and not as dry as before.
3. How do these products compare to other hydrating or reparative hair treatments you’ve tried in the past (if any)?
Other products I have used are better than this product in smoothness and moisture levels.
4. Would you consider purchasing these products in the future and/or recommend them to a friend?
I would not purchase these products in the future since my regular hair treatments are better than these.

This Repair Masque is amazing it made my fine hair super soft,silky and it had great movement with out being weighed down. Also improved the shine on my blonde hair which can tend to look matte.

I would recommend this to anyone who has thirsty hair. It will quench its thirst and give you some great hair. The only down side is you pay a bit more for this then I think most would expect to pay.

First off, a big thank you to the great folks at the ChickAdvisor product review club for sending me this as part of a L'oreal Professionnel duo! It was the perfect cure for my winter-dry, split ends! I must admit, of the shampoo and conditioning masque set I received, I definitively loved the masque more! I haven't tried many deep conditioning treatments, but of the ones I have, the L'oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque definitively stood out.

Packaged in a medium sized, rounded tub, I loved how this allowed me to get every last bit of the product as opposed to being in a pump format. On the pricey side at $30 a pop, this isn't a conditioner you want to waste. I also really enjoyed the clean, fresh scent the masque had. It wasn't overpowering at all, just pleasant and light, suitable for both male and female users.

After washing my hair and towel drying, I applied the masque to the lower half of my hair, and left it on for about 5 minutes before rinsing well. Right away I could tell that my hair felt instantly smoother and de-frizzed. After blow-drying, it seemed that I had noticeably lessened the amount of split ends that had plagued my hair before. Throughout the day, I just couldn't stop running my hands through my hair, marveling at the smoothness.

In conclusion, those hunting for a nice deep conditioner need to look no further! While this is a bit more expensive compared to the average drugstore deal, the results are well worth it!

Thanks to the Review Club for sending this my way!

I unfortunately haven't used this as much as I would have liked before I added my review. The reason being that to use it is kinda a pain: You have to towel dry your hair, apply to hair for a couple of minutes, then rinse out. I know this doesn't seem like a big task but who has time for this in the morning?Unlike the shampoo I can't use it in the shower so I've been using my regular conditioner. BUT, it is a repair masque so really I shouldn't be using it that often right?

When I did use it, I liked the results. My hair felt crazy soft, I didn't have any tangles in my hair the next morning (and I have hair that tangles easily) and it was frizz free! I noticed that my hair looked healthier after styling and I liked that I didn't have to use much of it so when I buy it in the future I know I'll get my money's worth. Would recommend to others.

Thanks again!

I was chosen to review this product by the product review club. I loved how it made my hair feel! The first time I used it, my hair felt incredible. I couldn't believe how silky it felt as I was rinsing my hair in the shower. The only thing I can complain about is that it is in a little "pot". I am not a huge fan of having to scoop out the product with my fingers (maybe a pump would be better). I haven't used a deep conditioning treatment in a very long time but I am so happy to have this now. I will definitely purchase this product after I have finished it.

I was chosen to try the l'oreal professional intense repair masque. I loved the scent. I also think that it did help repair my hair. However I prob would not buy this product, because I found it a bit of a pain that I had to towel dry my hair first after I washed it, rub the stuff in my hair, wait 2-3 min and then rinse it out really well. but I thank you for the opportunity to be chosen to try it. thank you

I so needed this kind of product. First of all I would like to thank Chick Advisor very much for giving me a wonderful opportunity to try L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo and Masque. This pair works magic on my hair! I am also very thankful to L'Oreal for making so great products!

This masque absolutely cured my dry and frizzy hair! I followed carefully the instructions, and now I am so glad that at last my hair is so soft even after blow-drying. And it also has so nice scent! Amazing!

Again as for the shampoo, that would be better :), if the price would be more affordable.

But I tried many products from other brands, and I have to tell you, this is the best one. And yes, in spite of the high price, I do recommend L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo and Masque to all my friends, and to all the people who really look for qualitive products.

Awesome product! Leaves my hair smooth and shinny! Doesn't weight it down.

I use it right after shampooing my hair. Leave it on for 3-5 minute and let it work its magic! The longer the better!
