i had colored hair when i was using this and it works really.... my hair feel smooth and it smells so good. i love loreal products and will definitely buy this one again

I'm a redhead with very thick dry hair as well as my teenage daughter and we used this for over a week now and what a great product and it smells terrific. Our hair is soft and manageable, opposed to it being dry and brittle

I use the shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner.

This product line works great on my curly hair. Doesn't weigh my hair down, moisturizes my hair perfectly!

I got 2 samples from the Toronto International Film Festival....for shampoo and conditioner for this product. Keep in mind that I have full waist long Asian hair. I thought the sample wouldn't be enough shampoo for my head, but it was thankfully. I feel like my hair has more volume then usual after using it (and I've tried it twice , each a week apart). I like it, I think I would use it again.

Their conditioner (which I will put in another review) is a very thick cream (not runny at all), and coated the ends of my hair well (I never put conditioner on my scalp or roots or else I would have no volume). It took out tangles easily and felt good.

My hair is dyed..and after using this product, I felt as though my hair was lighter in colour. I am unsure if that's because it's more drying then my normal shampoo, or if it's because this shampoo doesn't state that it protects colour treated hair.

Would I purchase it? Maybe, but I would prefer a colour protecting shampoo and conditioner formula.

Overall, I have been impressed with the L'oreal Hair Expertise hair care line. I have tried the Argenine Resist shampoo and I really liked that one so I decided to try another shampoo from this line - the Total Repair 5 which claims to help repair 5 signs of damaged hair without weighing it down. This shampoo promises (1) Strength, (2) Density, (3) Vitality, (4) Shine, and (5) Silky Touch.

After finishing the whole bottle, I can say that it does deliver on those promises only when paired with the conditioner. This shampoo alone will not provide enough moisture for your hair. It lathers well and washes off easily. It does leave your hair squeaky clean without drying it out or leaving any residue but if you want added shine to your hair, always pair it with the conditioner.

The product is pretty inexpensive (~$4-$5) for the large bottle and readily available. I'm on the fence whether I will repurchase this shampoo again. I like the Argenine Resist a lot better so I will probably stick to that one. I would still recommend this shampoo though, maybe to use during the summer months because it's light enough and doesn't weight the hair down. For the winter months, I would opt for something more moisturizing.
