    L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo blew me away. Similar to the Masque, at that price point, I would have been quite unlikely to try it. However, now that I have tried it, and seen the dramatic effects that it had on my hair, within days, I would not hesitate to purchase it or recommend it to a friend, even at its relatively higher price point (compared to products with similar claims).

    I used this product in combination with the Masque. Within literally 3 days (3 uses), my hair became so soft and moisturized, I could not believe the change.

    The scent of the product is very pleasant; it is both gentle and subtle and definitely not overpowering or strong. The shampoo does not achieve a high degree of lather, but it still achieved noticeable coverage and left my scalp (and my hair) feeling clean. In some shampoos with little lather, my scalp does not feel clean but this was not at all the case with this product.

    I achieved these results using the product in the same way as I use my normal or regular shampoo and conditioner.

    I was able to try this product courtesy of the product review club, and I'm glad I got the chance. After having used it for about 2 weeks straight now, I can honestly say that I think it's better at cleaning than most other shampoos I've tried (and I've tried quite a few). I'm positive that I have less build-up than when I use other shampoos - I usually have to switch up quite frequently to avoid build-up from one shampoo, so after 2 weeks I'm usually putting what I'm using away, and switching to something else for the next few weeks. With this, however, I'm not feeling the need to switch to anything else because I have no build-up. My hair feels light and bouncy, but is remaining smooth and frizz-free. I'd recommend this product without hesitation to anyone looking for a superior shampoo.

    I received this shampoo from Chick Advisor to try. I was a bit concerned because while the ends of my hair tend to dry out, I can get very oily roots. This shampoo smells lovely, lathers well and does a good job at cleaning and moisturizing my hair. I'll definitely be buying more of this!

    I received this product as a part of the review club.

    This shampoo has a very strong scent when you initially use it, but it fades into a mild scent after you wash it out. It smells somewhat like Amoxicillin (banana-ish, for those who don't know). This is a scent I rather enjoy, so I was happy about it! I was also happy it didn't linger, as I go into scent-free areas frequently throughout my week and this did not bother people there.

    The shampoo itself is more on the watery side, but once it's in your hair and lathered up the suds get very thick. It did not irritate my scalp or cause it to be oilier than normal. I did not have to use a lot of the shampoo for my long hair (53cm), but I still seem to be going through quite a bit of it. I've been using it for about 2 weeks and it's almost empty.

    I found it has repaired my hair since using it. My hair feels stronger and smoother. I was actually very impressed after using it for the first time--I couldn't believe how good my hair felt after just shampooing it! Normally my hair is extra dry after shampooing, but with this it felt soft and fantastic!

    The bottle lid is a bit flimsy when you open it, you have to be careful not to break it. I opened it for the fifth time and it snapped off in my hand and cut my hand open, so be cautious when opening it!

    It's smaller than most drugstore brand bottles. - only about 250mL. I found it selling for $22, which I found a bit too expensive for how much I had to use (I would have to spend $22 every 2.5 weeks). If I was to treat myself I would definitely go for this as it is very effective, but otherwise it is way too rich for my blood.

    Before I talk about this product, I want to mention that I have never been wowed by any shampoo. I tend to assume that the shampoo does the cleaning and the conditioner does the - well, conditioning. This shampoo sure as heck proved me wrong.

    The first thing I noticed when I opened the bottle was the amazing smell! I put some on my hair and was really happy with how well it lathered. This winter has been horrible for my poor hair and I have been struggling with a really dry scalp (yep, including itching and flakes. Nice, huh?) but I must say this shampoo trumps all other shampoos I have used! It not only cleaned my hair, but it left it feeling soft and healthy. The best part is that the flakes were no longer appearing, which made me feel happy and confident.

    I will be buying this shampoo again. It has proven itself to me and I believe that it is most definitely worth the price (this coming from a frugal kinda gal). ;)

    My first impressions of the L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo was that the quantity seemed tiny! I have really long, thick hair and tend to need plenty of shampoo to get the job done. When I noticed how small the shampoo bottle was I was worried I would only get a few washes out of the bottle and wouldn't be able to provide a fair review.

    I must say I was pleasantly surprised with how little shampoo I had to use in order to wash my hair. I found that I had to use way less than I normally do and a little went a long way. After use, I noticed how light and smooth my hair seemed. I usually end up with hair that seems heavy and dry especially during the winter months. I tend to wear my hair up because of the texture of my hair in the winter. (people tend to call it "horse hair") After using L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo however, I noticed how easily my hair was to style and I couldn't believe how many compliments I received on my hair. The shine was gorgeous and my hair felt and smelt wonderful!

    I would definitely buy this product in the future. The only downside was the price of the product, but if you're like me and have terribly dry hair you should splurge (especially during the winter) to repair your hair.

    Smells really great! Leaves my hair feeling clean and healthy. Will most likely buy again. (Especially since my mom took the remaining product home with her because she loved the smell so much :(

    Doesn't work too well with extremely hard water. With anything better than that, it works great. Smell is a little powerful but not undesirable. Shampoo is thick, so a little goes a long way! Lathers well, my hair was relatively smooth after rinsing it out, which doesn't happen often with my extremely fine but thick hair! Repair capabilities aren't as good or fast as other products I've tried, but it does repair your hair.

    I received this product as part of the product review club. My hair is very dry - I have a lot of troubles in the winter. The product worked great! It detangled my hair, leaving it smooth. It also didn't weight down my hair, like some shampoos do.

    It also smells great! I would recommend!
