    I was the lucky one to receive the shampoo to try.

    I tried it 2 times so far and I like it. I'm not sure if I would pay the price to buy it but I would recommend it. So far I haven't seen a difference in my hair but I like the way it feels. I wish it could smell better but it's not too bad.

    I was thrilled to be selected by Chick Advisor to review this product. The shampoo smells delicious and fresh. It has a good texture to it, not too watery. The color is creamy, giving a sense of richness. It lathers well and left my hair clean, smelling great and soft.

    This shampoo is great. It is really moisturizing, but rinses clean, without leaving an icky residue. It doesn't have a fancy smell, but I don't care about that. I want the shampoo to wash my hair, not stink up the bathroom! It doesn't smell bad, it's just not heavily perfumed like other premium shampoos I've used in the past.

    I received the shampoo for free as part of the Product Review Club, but I think I would pay $30 to buy it in a salon. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

    I didn't love the smell - smelled grassy. I prefer a fresh or floral scent. It did lather really well and rinsed out easily. I used it in conjuction with the conditioner and found my hair once it air dried to be more manageable than normal and nice and soft, feeling less dry than usual!

    I received the L'Oreal Professionel Intense Repair Shampoo and Masque courtesy of Chickadvisor, to try out and review. I've been using these two products for about a week and have noticed a considerable difference in my hair. It feels softer, shinier and more manageable. I've also had an increase in volume which is quite impressive since my shampoos and conditioners usually leave my hair looking flat by the end of the day. Instead, with the L'Oreal duo, the volume was still there 2 days later! It was also free of tangles, which if you have long hair, you know what a nightmare that can be!

    The shampoo lathered really well and I didn't need to use a lot of it, therefore although the bottle seems small, it is going to last me a while. The same is true for the masque. Considering the high end price for these products (in the $20-$30 range), the fact that you can use it sparingly is a great factor. They also have a very nice scent which does linger on your hair when it's dry, but that does seem to disappear by the next day. Also, my hair did not feel heavy or weighed down by the hair masque and it didn't leave my roots feeling greasy. I have used it according to the 2-3 minute recommendation, as stated on the packaging, but I am sure you can get an even better hydrating result for your hair if you leave it on overnight.

    The only downside, apart from the steep price, is that these products do contain chemical ingredients such as sodium lauryl sulfate and parabens which can be harmful to our health. It also contains dimethicone which acts as a silicone that coats your hair, therefore, I wonder how beneficial these products will be in the long run and if the hydration actually penetrates the hair shaft or whether it is just giving the "appearance" of it on the surface only. It would be a great bonus if they try to come out with something more natural that has the same outcome.

    I would consider purchasing these product if the prices were lower. If I would have to choose to get only one of the two products, I would probably get the hair masque since it really hydrates the hair.

    Very nice moisturizing shampoo but does not lather well, IMO. It smells really nice & and made my hair very soft and shiny. I have naturally thick ( very thick) and dull looking hair and usually throw it up in a pony so its easy to manage. But with this shampoo my hair immediatly was more manageable. The masque was awesome as well. It's very thick so it has to be in the tub . ( you'de never be able to get it out of a tube ). i found if i just used a little bit and massaged through my hair without getting my roots , it left my hair very soft and silky. So i was able to skip my leave in conditioner and leave it down. The price is a bit high, but if you want great effects than you need to pay a bit more. I will definatly be buying this in the future.

    I received L'Oreal Professional Intense Repair Shampoo from the Chickadvisor product review club. I found this product to be effective and gentle on my hair that at this time of the year is quite damaged and dry. In terms of repairing damage I am not sure if this product alone would have produced noticeable results but in combination with the hair masque it made my hair very soft and noticeably better looking. I would recommend this product but in conjunction with the hair masque for best results.

    Great shampoo! You can feel the difference as you shampoo and rinse. Smells great. Lathers and rinses out very well without feeling like there is residue left in your hair. I heat styled my hair after I shampooed and found that my hair was still very silky and healthy feeling after.

    This shampoo is great! The bottle is really small so I'm not sure I would buy this myself. I've been using this along with the mask about twice a week and I definitely notice a difference. My split ends used to get really tangled but this helps to smooth them out. My hair is also really soft!

    I have used this shampoo a few times now and I am loving it! It easily stacks up against my more expensive shampoos (salon brands). I really like the smell, its not overpowering. I like the packaging, some bottles of shampoo are really annoying to get open, but the design of this bottle is really nice. I've even been able to use this shampoo without conditioner, that's how hydrating it is! I would definitely purchase this again.
