    I was given this product to review by Chick Advisor and I've been using it for a week and a half now. I like the smell of the product, I can't really describe it other than, it smells very salon-y. I keep this mask on for a couple minutes, usually as long as it takes me to shave my legs. It goes on nice and thick. After using this masque a couple times I've noticed a difference in the softness and the friziness of my hair. I try not to use the shampoo and the masque together because it tends to weigh down my fine hair. Definitely worth trying, especially in the winter months.

    I've used this as a conditioner for about two weeks and my hair has never been softer! I have fine, frizzy/wavy hair and it's been so much more manageable since then. I do prefer to use without the matching shampoo, because it becomes way too heavy for my hair. If you have more thicker hair than mine, I would probably use both together. The smell is slightly banana-y, which I thought I wouldn't like, but it's grown on me.

    I might repurchase, but the price is holding me back a bit.

    Update: I am almost out of this and I am feeling very nervous. My hair has never been less frizzy or more soft, and I'm probably going to shell out the money to buy this. My hair will be sad without it!

    I was given the opportunity to test this product, and I really liked it. I have been dealing with dry frizzy hair, and this stuff really helps tame it without weighing it down like so many other products do. The first time I used it I was really impressed with how little product it took to cover my long hair. The container may seem small, but it will last quite a long time. As I was rinsing it out, I could feel how much healthier my hair was already.

    My thoughts: this masque gives your hair a lovely soft, shiny feel without making it feel like you have lots of gunk product in it. I noticed that my frizz was controlled after using this, which makes me happy. I would recommend it and I would also purchase it again.

    I was really excited to review this product as I have tried the Volumizing shampoo and conditioner and absolutely LOVE it!

    First off, my hair isn't damaged but I was feeling like my ends were dry due to the windy/cold winter. So when I got the product I thought, perfect timing! I did use both the shampoo and hair masque every wash which made my hair a little greasy faster than usual. I started only using the masque once a week and saw much better results. My hair felt really silky and clean and the dry ends weren't there anymore. I'd say if your hair is dry and damaged this product is defi worth the price!

    Thanks chirckadvisor and L'oreal! (My hair thanks you too!)

    This product is not for extremely hard water. My water is almost hard enough to walk on, and I found this product didn't work at all with it. That said, if your water is anything but super hard, this is a great product. I've tried it at several different places other than my own home, and the result elsewhere is great. The scent is not the greatest, but the texture is nice, it goes on well, and stays where you put it when it's in your hair. After the two or so minutes I left it in, it rinsed out easily leaving my hair amazingly knot free and smooth (didn't brush my hair before having a shower). Once my hair was dry it was beautifully shiny and smooth. As for the repair, it doesn't work as fast as some products I've tried, but it does work.

    I absolutely LOVE this stuff! My hair is dry by nature, and on top of that I have hair extensions which of course needs lots and lots of moisturing products. This hair mask however, leaves both my own hair and my hair extensions super soft! I've tried so many moisturising masks and treatments on my hair extensions but never found something that was really, really good. But this stuff seriously rocks! And my hair smells sooo good in days after I've used it. It's fantastic and I'm so glad I've found this product!

    I was very excited to receive the masque to test. I know L'Oreal Professionnel products can be pricey but work well so I was anxious to try it. The product was easy to use. The scent was not what I expected, I had expected a much stronger scent compared to other L'Oreal products but I liked it. The first time using this masque, my hair instantly felt really soft and smooth. I could not stop running my fingers through my hair! While I am not certain about the reparative qualities, it is definitely hydrating, one of the best products I have used in a while.
    I would most certainly consider purchasing it in the future and I would recommend it to a friend

    I received the Loreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque along with the Intense Repair Shampoo to try, and I love it! Thank you ChickAdvisor for letting me try this great product!

    I found the masque quite easy to use, as long as I remembered to loosen the lid on the jar before I got into the shower! I didn't towel dry my hair, but instead used the masque as I would a normal conditioner and used it right after shampooing and left it on for a few minutes. It is thicker than normal conditioners so it stays on your hair, and you don't have to use a lot. , The scent is very light but doesn't last once your hair is dry. It rinses out easily and leaves my hair softer, smoother, and a lot more hydrated than any other product that I have tried! My hair looks healthy, and I just love how it feels now!

    Downside: Price. As much as I love this masque, I really can't justify paying almost $30 for it. I know it works, and I wish I could continue using it, but it is exceptionally expensive. I would absolutely recommend it to my friends, but unfortunately its just not in my budget at the moment to pay $30 for this product.

    Received this product as a product review so can't comment on the price but this is a really amazing product! It's not overly scented and overall easy to work with. Instructions say to towel dry hair and then apply, but I just use it immediately after shampooing while still in the shower (so don't towel dry the hair before using). Still works fine.

    I immediately noticed a difference to my hair. It was a lot smoother. In the past, I would need to use another (smoothing) product on top of shampoo and conditioner prior to blow drying to get rid of the frizz, but with this repair masque, I didn't need anything else and the hair came out really smooth after blow drying. Hair looks really healthy and shiny. I would definitely recommend this to others and would recommend this over any other hair masques out there.

    I really liked this product. I've been using it for about two weeks now and there is definitely a noticable difference in my hair. I find that the product is somewhat effective on its own, but is much better when used with the shampoo. It adds a bit of time to my prep time since you have to towel dry your hair before using it and then rinsing, but the result is worth it. As long as it remains effective, I will likely buy this product again and would definitely recommend it.
