    I love this masque! While the shampoo in this range was good but failed to wow me, I feel this masque is worth it. It has a gel-like/creamy texture, and a little goes a long way. My hair gets tangled very easily, and it makes detangling in the shower a breeze. I adore how soft and sleek it makes my hair feel. It doesn't weigh down my hair and it makes look it glossy and healthy.

    I would buy this again. It is a great treat for my hair and definitely worth the price! It has made my hair softer and nicer than any other conditioning product before. Highly recommended!

    I've always loved L'oreal Professionnel masks and this one is just as great as I have expected. It nourished my hair and brought it back to life after some cruel things I've done to it. I use about a hazelnut and it's enough to coat my hair from tip to end. I leave it on for about 5-10 mins and then rinse it out. It rinses easily and leaves my hair soooooooo soft! I have bouncy, silky, nourished hair again!

    Definitely a repurchase! This mask is a gift for damaged hair.

    I received this as part of the product review club. I tried the product and i was impressed. It makes my hair shiny and soft. The scent is kind like coconut. not too overwhelmed. The texture is thick and creamy. It's easy to apply and goes smoothly through your hair. the product repairs my split ends! i'm very happy! i did follow the instruction first and got lazy to dry with towel and rewash after. i use like a conditioner. it still works.

    It's pricey, but for the result, it's the best. i would buy if i have a lot money. i recommend to everyone.

    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 received this product from Chick Advisor to review. Again, I have really dry, over processed, colour treated hair, so I'm always looking for something to boost the moisture levels in my hair. I was especially excited to try this repair masque because I've never really used one before and thought it could definitely help my hair.

    On the container it directs you to apply to towel dried hair but I applied this to my hair after I shampooed IN the shower. After I rinsed my hair free of shampoo, I rung my hair out gently to get rid of the excess water. Then grabbed a very generous amount of product out of the pot and began to saturate my hair from root to tip. I figured more would be better in the case of my stressed out hair! I worked it in all through my hair and then let it sit for probably 3-5 minutes to work its magic.

    As I rinsed it out of my hair, I noticed how different my hair felt. It was like someone had replaced my hair with healthy new hair. It was absolutely amazing. When I got out of the shower I towel dried my hair quickly and began to comb through it. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily the comb went through my hair, which let me tell you, is super abnormal for me. I let my hair air-dry, since I'm trying to reduce the amount of heat I use on my hair, and when it dried I could still notice a difference. It looked a lot healthier and moisturized.

    I really, really, really love this product. I would without a doubt re-purchase this product. It would fabulously on my hair. It was a hair make over. It is pricey but sometimes products are worth their money, and I would definitely say this one is!

    The texture was smooth and it smelt great.

    Massaging the masque into my hair was very easy and instantly smooth. As I was rinsing it out, my hair felt so smooth and silky, really was amazing! I usually have really tangled hair which is hard to brush, with this masque, my brush ran right through it. My hair is full of moisture and has never been so smooth.

    I usually use salon shampoo and this is so much better. I will never use anything else again.

    I would defiantly recommend this to a friend and will continue to use this product myself.

    I was not impressed with the look of the bottle. It was too pale of a yellow, the colors were not vibrant enough to attract me. The pictures of it on thos website look nicer then the actual bottle.
    From the pale yellow bottle I was expecting the scent to be banana, and it was kind of but with perfume mixed in and maybe a little coconut. Pleasant and not too powerful.
    I found the Masque to be a little heavy for my hair. It did a good job at moisturizing it but I felt like I had to rinse forever to get it all out and I also felt like my hair got greasy faster then normal. My hair might be too fine for this product.
    Would I buy it? No not likely
    Would I tell my friends to try it? Only if they had really dry hair, I think it would be great to restore some over processed hair

    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.
