Since my regular shampoo and conditioner brand changed their formulation, I have been searching for alternatives and was very excited to try L'Oreal Professional Intense Repair Shampoo.
The shampoo bottle is on the small side especially for one having long hair. However, the shampoo has a creamy consistency whereby a small amount goes a long way.
Does not have a drying lather, which is good, and rinses well. Wet hair feels strong and manageable. Has a light melon flavored scent.
Really like this shampoo. It is all going to come down to how long the bottle lasts for me because this product is on the pricey side.
Thanks Chick Advisor and L'Oreal!

I was really looking forward to trying L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo because I don't normally splurge on salon brand shampoos. At first I thought the bottle was quite small but I soon realized that you only have to use a very small amount to achieve the results that you want. I thought the scent was very light and pleasant and it lathered well. I noticed my hair texture to be much more smooth and manageable after only a couple of shampoos so I was very happy with the results. I'm not sure I would pay the price on a regular basis but for a treat to myself every now and then it would be worth the splurge. Thanks ChickAdvisor!

I would like to thank L'Oreal and Chickadvisor for the opportunity to try the L'Oreal Professional Intense Repair Shampoo and the Intense Repair Masque.I live in a climate in Canada where its been a very cold harsh winter,this is my first winter living here and my hair has really suffered.

I have thin blond(color treated)shoulder length hair that is usually dry to normal conditions.The climate however had damaged my hair and it the appearance and texture became like straw along with the straw like hair I was getting very bad static and flyaway hair.My usual brand of Shampoo and Conditioner were not helping at all.So this review came at the perfect time for me and I'm so pleased it worked for my hair.

I received the Shampoo and repair masque a week ago,I have been using both daily before submitting my review to see the affects of using the two for a week.The Shampoo was created it says with regard for dry locks developed with the Cuti Liss System,which will provide nutrition and strengthen dry hair.It really has done all this for my hair.

The bottle is small(250 ml) it comes in a small yellow plastic bottle that fit perfectly into my shower holders.Because this product is from a salon and not a shopping mart I probably wouldn't buy it on a regular basis as I only go to the salon about every two months.I also find the price quite steep.However I would use this product in the winter months and probably only use it once a week as needed.

I like the smell I actually prefer it over the smell of the repair masque,I found it odd that they both smell so different.The shampoo I find smells like Bananas and then when lathering it through out the hair it has a crisp smell like melons.It lathers up really well and spreads through out the hair nicely,It rinses out well with no residue and non greasy.The texture of this shampoo is very rich and creamy and little goes a long way.After my first use my hair felt soft and,smooth and really nice and shiny,it really controlled the flyaways well.My hair felt really clean and started to look healthy after one use.It also gave my thin hair bounce and volume which was a great bonus.My hair was very manageable and easy to comb out.

I like that it also has not faded my color treated hair.After using this for a week now my hair is back to normal soft and smooth no more straw hair!It also feels so lightweight in my hair.There a few things I'm not happy with one being the ingredients.There is Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Parabens.Most hair care products now are trying to stay away from these added ingredients.There are other methods so hopefully that is something L'Oreal may consider.I also found the writing on the bottle brutal to read a bigger font would be so much better and easier on the eyes.All in all this product really saved my hair and got it back to a healthy condition so I'm so pleased with the results.My review of the repair masque will follow later this evening or tomorrow.Thanks again L'Oreal and Chickadvisor

I was very excited to receive these products in the mail as I live in a very dry climate, which makes my naturally dry hair full of frizzy, brittle, fly-away hair. I enjoyed the product. It smelled pleasant and worked very well. I don't think that I would recommend the shampoo as much as I would the mask. I, like some of the reviewers, have very long hair, and the amount you receive in the bottle will not last me very long. The mask, however, I think would be worth the price as my hair was soft, shiny, and silky smooth.

I got this sent to me from the product review club and I was sooooo excited! To start off, the shampoo, smells AMAZING! It kind of smells like bananas or those candy hearts with the messages people get around valentines day. The masque sort of smells the same, just fainter. I have naturally thick, coarse, wavy, frizzy dry hair, and this transformed the way my hair looked. It made my hair so smooth, even on the second day. Prior to this, I has been using a sulfate-free shampoo, and the fact that it didnt lather didnt really bother me, but as soon as i started using this, I remembered how much I loved the lather. I would definetly recommend this to anyone, and the only con is I think its a little pricey.

I have high expectations when it comes to "better-than-drugstore-brand" shampoos, so I'll cop to that particular bias, right off the bat. What do I love about L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo? The lovely, light, tropical scent, the easy lathering, the rinsability, and the feel of moisturized, smooth hair, post-rinse. What do I only *like* about this shampoo? The size of the bottle (I have longer hair, so it won't take me much time to go through this product, I'm afraid...) and the feeling that the bottom third of the product is going to be tricky to extract, given the firmness and shape of the container.

Together with the Repair Masque, I will say that this is definitely a winning duo. I loved the results - bouncy, soft, moisturized hair with very few fly-aways, and a really silky touch. But on its own, my rating for the shampoo is a solid B , since for the price, I wish there was a bit more product, and that I'd be confident in being able to use it all, down to the very last drop.

Got this as a part of the Product Review Club.

I have uncoloured hair and I almost never use heat on it. I wasn't crazy about this product but maybe I didn't really give it a chance. Perhaps that's because this winter hasn't been too harsh on my hair so I haven't really needed "intense repair". I have tried the L'oreal hair expertise nutri-sleek in argon oil and I think this is similar. It doesn't leave your hair dry - to the point where day old hair feels a tad greasy. Not crazy about it but don't hate it either. Probably not worth the price others have mentioned!

I was sent the shampoo and mask to try out and have done so over the last couple of weeks. I love the scent and the lightness of the product; I do find I need to use the mask with the shampoo in order for my hair to be moisturized. The scent does last for the day which is a nice perk.

Cost wise I would by the shampoo on sale but find it too expensive to buy on a regular basis as it is a small bottle.

First of all, I received this product from the product review club. I have been using it for a few weeks now and I have started to notice a difference in my hair. I think the shampoo and conditioner work very well together in making your hair soft and nourished. It did not mend split ends but made my hair very manageable and silky. My favorite part is actually that the smell and clean hair feeling linger all day. It is a great product and depending on the price, I would most likely recommend this to others.

Ok first off I received as part of the product review club.

Before this I had never really tried L'oreal salon products. I've tried their drugstore line before and wasn't impressed so I didn't know if the salon line would be anything worth trying. I have seen this shampoo selling for about 20 dollars or so and honestly I was too cheap to spend that much. My hair isn't chemically treated or dyed in any way and I refrain from using heat usually- so I feel like I have less damage to deal with than the average person. That being said, I do still deal with average hair concerns. During winter when its dry out, I get lots of frizz. A LOT, since I have very fine hair to begin with. The cold air really amps up my frizz an fly aways.

Alright lets get to the product. I really like the texture of this shampoo. It's very rich and luxurious. The smell is nice too, its bright and perfume-y. I do notice a difference when I use this, my hair is a tiny bit shinier and there is less frizz. But I am not sure if that's due to the accompanying conditioner. Would I go out an purchase this at full price? Probably not. Currently I am using Dove's nourishing oil line and I feel like I get similar results. Compared to other salon lines, I like it- it's pretty average.

So my thoughts on this: It's a nice treat for your hair. It's not something I would pay ~20 $ for, but I do enjoy using it and I would reccomend it if someone asked about it. OH and I think the packaging is very unique and cute.
