I have never used a hair masque before and was eager to give this a try. My hair tends to be dry but it is also fine and easily weighed down, so I was curious to see how this product would perform. Unfortunately, it just didn't cut it for me.

I really didn't like the process. It was really annoying to use on towel-dried hair. I found that I used way too much product the first time because my hair had been semi-dried an it took forever to rinse out. My hair was really greasy afterward. The next time I used it, I didn't bother to dry my hair and just applied the masque in the shower to wet hair. The product rinsed out easier and left my hair less greasy but still too soft and feeling weighed down. My hair is also curly, and I found that the masque left my hair less likely to curl. It fell in looser waves than curls, which I attribute to the weighed down feeling.

At $30, I would not purchase this product again. For my fine, dry, curly hair, it just did not leave me wowed or even satisfied. I am not sure how often it's intended to be used, but once or twice a week is too much for me. I like the idea of using the masque once or twice a month as a deep conditioning product, especially during the winter, but would not recommend it for regular use based on my experience.

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.

I used this product for about 2 weeks now. I really love the container that it comes in as I am able to use every last drop of the conditioner unlike other containers where I have to add water towards the end to get it all out. The smell isn't very great, I found it hard to smell a scent at all. The consistency was very good as I found it thick enough to coat my hair and it detangled well as I have thick dry naturally curly hair. I did not find that it made a difference in my hair condition at the end of 2 weeks. I do not think I would recommend this product for the price. I could find better products for this price and cheaper.

I'm reviewing this as part of the Chickadvisor review club and I'm glad that they sent me this set, but I didn't love the conditioning treatment. It comes in a nice size pot and you don't need much to cover your hair (I have long, thick, coarse wavy hair). Even though I have pretty thick hair I did notice that it weighed my hair down a bit, but it was nice and soft afterwards. The directions say to apply it to towel dried hair but I wasn't going to take the time to stop my shower, dry my hair and then put this on. Too much hassle! I applied it to my hair and left it on for about 10 minutes in the shower. Decent results but not worth the price in my opinion. I've found much better products at this price point and below!

I received L'Oreal Professional Intense Repair Masque to try in the mail about a week and a half ago. I love the fruity-like (banana?) smell. The consistency is nice and thick and bonds well to the hair. I have used the repair masque a few times now, and while I enjoyed the product, I didn't love it. I was expecting my hair to feel smoother, silkier and shinier, but it preformed like any other masque in my opinion. Not worth the price.

I was given an opportunity to review the L'Oreal Professional Intense Repair Shampoo and the Intense Repair Masque...these are my thoughts on the Masque. Again, like the Intense Repair Shampoo, the smell is lovley. Although I didn't find the Masque to live up to its reputation in term of how my hair felt and looked after use. My hair actually felt more dry and this unfortunately didn't improve with regular use. I would not recommend this product, it simply did not work for my hair at all. The price is also shockingly high. At this price point I expect much more. I have used drugstore products from L'Oreal which have performed far superior to this "salon" product.

I received this product through the Product Review Club.

I wasn't too impressed. My long hair gets super dry and dull during the winter months and I was hoping this product would help. I liked the light scent and the texture-- I like a very thick consistency for a masque. It was easy to use and stayed on well without dripping. I followed the instructions and tried out the masque on several different occasions but felt like my hair was just okay. It didn't feel particularly nourished or soft or healthy looking once dry. I've used drugstore products at a fraction of the price that produce similar results. This just didn't cut it so I will continue to look for a more suitable hair masque to remedy my dry ends. I probably wouldn't recommend this product to my friends, however, it may be more effective on other hair types.

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

One week of "intense" repair and my opinion is in. Sadly, it's not good.

I can say that I prefered the masque over the shampoo, but all in all, the Intense Repair Cuti Liss system didn't give me enough bang for the buck.

To keep my review as straightforward and helpful to you, the reader, I'll break it down like this.

The hair world has drugstore and salon. Then there's a slew of crap in-between. If L'Oreal didn't slap a salon price on these products I might have been sold, but for their retail value, I'd rather pay a little more and get some Kerastase.

I think if you're trying to compete in an already over-saturated market, the results have to be visible.

After a photo and touch analysis of my hair, I can't say that it was remarkably different. The only thing I noticed was that my hair wasn't as static-y. That's something? Isn't it.
