I’ve been using the Intense Repair Masque for the past couple of weeks and I’m really impressed with the quality of the product. It’s smells like banana, but isn’t over powering so good for men or women to use. After using it my hair was silky and smooth with very few fly aways. I never use hair mask’s so was impressed with my first trial. It appears the product is $30 so a bit on the expensive side.

The product worked well, but the packaging needs to be improved in a few areas. There are no instructions on the jar for how to use it. I ended up looking it up on the internet to find out if I was using the product correctly. The product comes in a jar, which means when you open it in the shower it can get watered down easily.

Overall, good product and I’d recommend it to my friends if they were looking for an intense conditioner. But I don’t see myself buying it because my hair isn’t overly dry and I don’t want to spend $30 on a conditioner.

Thanks to ChickAdvisor for letting me try out the L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque. I loved the light smell to the product. I did not require very much product at all to get the desired effects. I would think the product would last a fair amount of time even having shoulder length hair. My hair does take daily abuse from blow drying and straightening. It is also very dry and thin to begin with so I was very excited to try this product out. I was impressed with the overall results. It left my hair feeling much softer with no residue at all.

The only cons regarding the product was towel drying my hair before the application of the masque. I could see myself adding this to my routine once a week but not daily. The second con I could see would be the price. If I used it once a week then I could see purchasing it but I would fear I would not get the desired healthier look to my hair only using it once a week.

After using it for a week straight my hair does feel healthier and overall my hair does seem a lot more manageable. Thanks for letting me try this out! :-)

I received the L'Oreal professional intense repair masque from the product review club. I usually use a deep conditioner once a week for my thin straight shoulder length hair. My hair tends to get dry split ends, so it needs extra moisture. I usually wait to use my deep conditioner for a day that I'm not going anywhere, as the deep conditioners usually weigh my hair down and give me a bad hair day. The L'Oreal Masque not only left my hair soft and silky and moisturised, but also left my hair looking good too! It's concentrated so you don't need to use a lot, and has a nice light scent. It's more expensive that the product I've been using, but it seems worth it for something I don't use every day. I am going to continue using this product from now on and would definitely recommend it.

Firstly, thanks to Chick Advisor for sending me the products to try out and review. I was very excited to give these two products a try since my hair is in definite need of some care and recuperation. I decided to try the shampoo separately for a few days, then used it together with the hair masque to see if it makes a difference.

HAIR PROFILE
I have long black layered straight hair. Years of using heat appliances and getting my hair coloured, has left the ends of my hair extremely brittle and dry. At the same time, I have a problem of oily roots so it's difficult to find the right shampoo and conditioner that leaves my hair moisturized but not oily.

While I was not a fan of the L'oreal Professionel Intense Repair Shampoo, I really liked the L'oreal Repair Masque for the following reasons.
(1) It has a pleasant banana scent which is not overpowering.
(2) It has a thick consistency. While you only get 200mL of the product, you don't need to use a lot to get your hair moisturized. It rinses off well. Unlike other conditioners I have used previously which felt heavy on my hair, my hair still feels clean and light after using it.
(3) This masque was the perfect solution to my oily roots and dry, brittle ends. It moisturized my hair but did not leave it greasy. Unlike other conditioners that weigh down your hair, this masque still maintained hair volume.
(4) The ends of my hair has a tendency to get wavy. Not only did this masque leave my hair soft and shiny, it left it more straight reducing the need for me to straighten my hair.

There are a couple of cons with this product. The application is a little time consuming since you need to towel-dry your hair first before applying the product and having to wait a few minutes before rinsing it out but I don't really mind taking the additional time to do that since the end result is well worth it. It is costly but this masque is not something I would resort to using on a daily basis - maybe once or twice a week would be enough. I would still consider purchasing it specially during the winter months when the cold weather really wreaks havoc on my hair.

I was excited to try out Loreal Professional Intense Repair Masque as I have fine, flyaway, dry winter hair.
Nice creamy consistency masque. Not much of a scent.
I have been using the masque daily like a regular conditioner, and it does not way down hair at all. The texture of my hair has changed for the better... smooth and soft.
Not fond of the container though. Don't like dipping fingers into tub. Water can get in too easily in the shower. Would like it to dispense differently.
Not fond of the price. Have to see how long it lasts!

I was really looking forward to trying L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque because I don't usually purchase salon brand products. I was surprised the packaging was so small, I expected a larger container. I soon realized that you really don't require much product to get the results you want. I have shoulder length hair so I didn't need to use more than a loonie size amount. The scent is light and fresh and blends in well. It says on the instructions that you should use it on towel dried hair but I didn't bother with that step, I just squeezed out the excess moisture and then applied the masque. I also have fine hair so I didn't leave the product on for more than a minute, this way I found it didn't weigh my hair down. I'm pleased with the results of the masque, I felt it made my hair smoother and manageable. I wouldn't purchase this on a regular basis due to the cost but it would be worth the occasional splurge. Thanks ChickAdvisor!

The one thing that annoys me about this product is that you have to have towel dried hair and then rinse it off. That's too much work for me to step back into the shower. I would rather have a conditioner or something I can apply on after a shower. I did feel like my hair was smoother so it does work. Although I am not that crazy about the scent and I probably would never buy this product.

I loved the masque it smelled great and coated my hair nicely. It was rich and thick and didn't drip like other conditioners or masques. When I rinsed it off it left my hair silky and smelling great!.
It made an split or frayed ends look great and kept them looking good though out the day.

Cost wise I found it high but it was a nice product so I would pay the price to treat my hair occasionally.

I received the L'Oreal Professionel Intense Repair Masque as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club, and have used the product for a couple of weeks. Like many of the previous reviewers, I found the masque to be better than the shampoo as it left my hair feeling soft and smooth. I liked the thickness of the masque and how silky it made my hair once I rinsed it off after leaving it on for 3 to 4 minutes. The price of the products is a bit high, and I am not completely convinced that it is better than other less expensive products on the market. However, it did deliver results for the period that I have used the product so far.

First of all, I received this as part of the product review club. Even with that said, I would probably purchase this myself because I love it so much, I even prefer it over the shampoo. It is a great treatment and you can really feel it working in your hair even after the first few times! It is a deep conditioning mask and I tend to leave it in my hair in the shower for about 5 minutes and after when I rinse it out, my hair feels silky smooth. I love the way that the clean, fresh scent stays in my hair for a long time and my hair feels very clean afterwards. I love that even a little bit of this product goes a long way towards soft, shiny hair. It even tames all of the frizz in my hair! I love it and would definitely repurchase this and recommend it to others.
