    First of all, thanks to Chick Advisor for giving me the opportunity to try this product!

    I received it at the beginning of February - perfect, it was time for a little treatment! I tend to be rough with my hair - I dye it and straighten it more than I should. To this day, I've tried it three times.

    As I said in my review for the shampoo, after rinsing it I had a lot of knots in my hair. When I applied the masque, my hair became smooth in seconds! It was really magical. I waited the whole 3 minutes before rinsing it and my hair was so soft after. In the following days, I noticed my hair was more shinny and it seemed more healthy than usual, even my boyfriend noticed!

    Finally, I recommend this product even if it's a bit pricey. For myself, I think it's the kind of product I would buy but wouldn't use it everytime I wash my hair. If you are on a budget or something and can't afford to buy both products (the shampoo and the masque), I would recommend you to get the masque first. I think the result will be more satisfying if you use both, but I also think that the masque was more effective than the shampoo.

    LOVED this masque! I know masques take time but honestly it's totally worth it. You can instantly feel the difference in your hair. The texture and shine really improved in my hair. Living in the city and in winter I find my hair can get easily damaged, so far, this masque has helped turn back the time on damage.

    I have dry/frizzy/curly/thick hair and I was so excited to try this masque! It smells REALLY nice... Light and clean.

    As I was washing my hair, I felt like the conditioner wasn't washed out all the way, but it was. It just made my hair that soft. When I was combing my hair afterwards, I was amazed at how easy it was to put a comb through it. Even as my hair air-dried, I could feel the difference. My usually split ends looked and felt better too.

    The only thing that I wasn't thrilled about was getting out of the shower, towel drying my hair after shampooing, just to jump back in and put the masque in... It would be better if I could do it all in one shot. I've got 2 young kids, so time for myself is limited!!

    Overall, I absolutely loved using this, and will be sad when it's gone because I think it's a little pricey to buy regularly.

    L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque is very good. It has a smooth, clingy texture almost paste like with a very light scent. I left it on towel dried hair for 2-3 minutes as directed and then rinsed. It rinsed out easily. I noticed just after I towel dried my hair that the hair felt lighter in weight, plumper, and thicker looking. It surprised me that my hair could react like this because I have fine, straight hair and it always flattens out.

    My first impression after using the mask while hair is still wet was odd. I kept looking at my hair because it felt like it was being lifted up from the roots. It felt like I had air in my hair, the hair shafts seems larger to me, like the hair expanded somehow. I showed my hubby because I wanted to be sure I was not seeing things. I have problems with fly away hair, especially on the top and I noticed it tamed the fly away hairs dramatically. My hair felt smooth and silky to the touch when both wet and dry.

    I have tried a couple other hair repair masks and always seem to be dissatisfied with them. With others I tried, it was hard to get the product out of my hair or it was gritty and left an unpleasant texture. I thought it was something I have to live with because my hair is so fine and dead straight. By using the shampoo and mask together, I noticed more texture, sleekness, and a slight volume to my hair. Although, the volume I experienced in my hair may not be much to others, for me, it was quite noticeable. I would have loved to see more volume in my hair but I am happy to see some rather than none. My hair stayed silky soft and fly away hairs tamed for several days even without using any other styling products. I experimented using both the shampoo and mask, without any styling products for several days in a row and then, not using shampoo, mask, or styling products in my hair for several days. I found the volume lasted a day while the silky soft texture and fly away control lasted for several days when I did not use shampoo,mask or anything. My hair seem to perform better if I continually used the shampoo and mask.

    I will buy this product and I definitely will recommend it because I found for me it was a pleasant experience.

    I was super excited when I was chosen for this review, not just because I love hair products but because my hair so desperately needed an intervention! After years of dying my hair it has needless to say become a dry, damaged and unmanageable mess.

    The package arrived and I was more than ready to test it out as I have tried many "intense repair" and other "damage repair" products and to no avail they would work for the first wash or two and then it was back to my dry, damaged and unmanageable hair. I have also had many salon keratin treatments and they also have done nothing to help my damaged hair.

    I read the labels, loved that they had so many translations for different languages on the bottles and was ready to lather up! After using the L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo I popped a towel on my head while in the shower and dried it slightly. I placed a good amount of the mask onto my towel dried hair and continued with my regular shower routine. Three minutes later I rinsed out the product and could already tell the difference just in the feel of my hair. No other product I have used has left it feeling so new and undamaged.

    The try test was when I dried my hair as this is normally when I can feel and see the damage. I followed my normal procedures in drying my hair with my blow dryer and was more than pleasantly surprised when my hair STILL looked and felt amazing. Soft, manageable and I could see the difference in the state of my hair.

    I have now been using this product exclusively since receiving it and have to say that I am still 100% satisfied with it's ability to actually repair my hair. Each day my hair is looking healthier and that makes me very happy.

    Now all that is left to do if dig around to find out where I get more of this product!

    I highly suggest if you have damaged hair and have tried everything to give this a shot, you will be amazed at how much it helps and repairs your hair.

    I feel like I enjoyed the hair mask much more than the shampoo because when I use this I saw a difference in how soft it made my hair whereas with the shampoo not so much. I like the texture of this product because it was very creamy and it felt pretty weightless in my hair like I didn't put any product on it to begin with. I liked that as I was washing it out of my hair that it started to feel much softer. My hair tends to be naturally flat but I felt as if this made my hair feel much more clean and I got volume much easier. My hair tends to be drier on the ends and I felt like after using this that it was much softer. I also let my sister use this product who has really hay like hair and she absolutely loved it she felt a noticeable difference in her hair right away!

    I am glad I got to be part of the clickadvisor reviewer of this product. I love the smell, kind of like coconut, but not over powering. I rub and them comb it into my hair. It says to leave it in for a few minutes but I left it in for 30 min ever other day. My split ends are less noticeable and my hair isn't all dry and brittle anymore. I LOVE how soft my hair is after it dries, I've never felt it feel this great before.
    I do not know the price of this product so I can not comment on this. But I'd pay more then the store brands for it.

    This, along with the Intense Repair shampoo, makes my hair feel amazing. My hair is pretty long and the winter weather hasn't been doing it any favours lately, but this product makes it feel so healthy and soft.
    I love the texture and scent of this (and the shampoo) - it's a light kind of fruity scent, and you only need a small amount of product to cover even really long / thick hair. For a deep conditioning product, it rinses out well and still leaves your hair with lots of volume.
    My hair has felt so much better since using this product for just a few days, and I'm really glad I got to try it. It costs more than my usual hair products but the results are definitely worth it!

    This product works great in combination with the Intense Repair shampoo!!! It smells beyond fantastic and does wonders for dried out, frizzy hair (like my own). The only downside I would have to say, is that the directions say to towel dry your hair, then apply, and then rinse again which to me is a bit of an inconvenience. However, ill live with it since the results are worth the extra few minutes! ;)
