    I received this as part of the product review club, so I can't really comment on the price, as I'm not sure of the cost. The masque was a nice thick consistency, and applied easily to my hair. The smell was nice enough, nothing too exciting. It did make my hair feel nice, fairly silky. I have thick curly hair, and I can't say it really did anything amazing with my hair. I don't know that I would say it is a professional quality, pretty comparable to any other hair 'mask' I have tried.

    I tried this product, along with the accompanying shampoo, as part of the product review club. I've used them together for the last 2 weeks, and it's made my hair feel smooth and silky, with no build-up like I would normally experience with a hair masque. The smell is great too! The only drawback is having to towel dry my hair after shampooing and before applying the masque, but the end result is worth it. The price is also a bit higher than I'm used to spending on hair care products, but I'll be buying both the shampoo and masque in the future due to the great results I experienced. Thanks again Product Review Club!

    I didn't really like the shampoo or the masque. I found it to be a big pain to towel dry my hair put it in and then rinse it out. I have kids and time is not something I have lots of. I find the cheaper stuff to be more effective and cheaper.

    L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque blew me away. 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 shampoo. 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 masque is very thick, so you have to scoop a little out of the container. However, it applies very nicely and spreads quite well through your hair. I achieved these results using the product in the same way as I use my normal or regular shampoo and conditioner.

    Just like the shampoo, I love the masque!!! My hair feels and looks great after using in every time I was my hair. No greasy residue, but also, like the shampoo, the only downer is the scent. For such a great product it should have a nicer scent. But that is minor considering the awesomeness of the product!!! Love IT!!

    I was able to try this product courtesy of the product review club, and I'm really happy to have had the chance. I'm not sure I would have purchased this myself without having the chance to try it through ChickAdvisor first, because the price point is quite high for what looks like a really small container of product. Having used it for about 2 weeks now, however, I'm noticing that it's not really that 'small' when you consider how far a little bit goes. It doesn't take much product to coat my medium-length hair. I love the texture - nice and thick/rich. After 2 weeks of use, I'm noticing definite improvements in the softness and look of my hair - it's definitely not as dry or fly-away since having started using this product. I've even had a few compliments from friends/co-workers who I didn't think would notice. I'll definitely keep using it in the future - it's worth the price!

    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 received this product from the review club.

    The scent of this product is mild and not too strong. It smells vaguely of Amoxicillin (banana-ish!). It is a very nice scent and it doesn't linger in your hair (the shampoo scent does, but this masque doesn't!).

    It comes in a jar that you have to scoop the product out of, and the first thing I noticed when I scooped some out was how amazingly thick it was! Thick conditioners always make my hair feel the most "conditioned" and this product did not disappoint!

    After using it the very first time, my hair felt SO AMAZING! I have never had this great an experience with a masque or conditioner before. My very dry, dead and split hair (haven't had it cut in 6 months!) became almost perfect again! The effect doesn't just last for a few hours or a day or two, my hair still has that "renewed" feel days after I ran out of the product!

    I avoided using it near the scalp, as I do with most conditioners, so I cannot say whether it will make your scalp oilier or dryer (sorry). I worked it mostly into my damaged, dry ends. They no longer look as damaged and feel unbelievably soft! I even found that my flyaway hairs were smoothed down after using it. My hair feels stronger, softer, and smoother.

    Unfortunately this container is very small (200mL). My hair is long (53cm) and very dry. I had to use a significant amount to coat my hair so I ran out of the product in about a week and a half.

    The cost is rather pricey, I found it selling for $25. However, since the effect lasts for a long time, if I was to pick it up again I'd use it maybe once or twice a week. While I'm not into spending $25 on a hair care product I would not think twice about picking this masque up! It is definitely worth every penny!

    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.
