    The shampoo smells great and lathers really well.

    Upon rinsing my hair felt a little coarse after.

    After using this shampoo for just over a week my hair feels great and I notice a big improvement. I usually have dry hair that gets worst in the winter and it feels so soft and smooth now.

    I will defiantly continue using this product and would recommend it to anyone with dry/ damages hair.

    I noticed a difference in my hair upon rinsing it off my hair. My hair felt smoother and softer to the touch immediately. It is definately a moisturising shampoo.

    The texture of it was really creamy and rich. The scent was also very pleasant. The packaging of it makes it very easy to use.

    The first thing I noticed about this shampoo was how small the bottle was. I thought it would be bigger as it retails for alot more than your average shampoo.

    This shampoo delivered what it promised. I felt like my hair had been quenched with moisture and nourished. I would recommend it to those that have damaged hair or those with hair that is on the dry side. This shampoo will be good for those who want to give their hair a treat.

    As for purchasing it in the future, I am still on the fence about that. I will continue to use it to see if it keeps delivering what it promises.

    I really like the bottle and the feel. It is made of a material that is suited for your bathtub surface, to avoid those unnecessary falls. I don't like the teeny, tiny directions on the bottle. I felt the font could have been a bit bigger and easier on the eyes.
    This shampoo is very thick and a little goes a long way. It has a great smell, which is light and fruity. It really lathers up for you to wash your hair well. After washing and towel drying, my hair did feel nice and smooth. I then went on to step 2, which was putting on the masque.
    I did like the feel and the results of this shampoo, but the price will probably keep me at bay.

    I received this from chickadvisor to try out and when I received this in the mail I was shocked by its size because It was a bit smaller than what I had imagined it to be. It is a bit pricey for such a small amount. For some reason I like my shampoo to have some kind of scent to it and this one is really mild and I can't really smell anything. It did make my hair softer and hydrated. It lathers really well and you don't need a lot of it.

    Thanks for the chance to review this chickadvisor!!
    When I first took a whiff of this I thought it was too strong, but the smell wasn't as intense when I was using it. I thought it worked really well, and it lathered nicely. Was easy to use with an easily openable cap (no breaking nails :D). Does the job and cleans your hair well.
    After washing and towel drying, my hair did feel softer, and only on the first use. I would expect my hair to feel smoother after using a conditioner, but using this shampoo did wonders.
    Unlike other repair shampoos, it didn't make my hair greasy or overly dry.
    I would definitely recommend this, but I would love it even more if it was available in a bigger size and a more affordable price.

    I was looking forward to trying a shampoo that works well on my dry, and damaged hair, so after receiving this product I noticed its scent right away. It's not too strong and smells a bit like banana mixed with coconut. I quite liked it actually.

    The texture was nice and thick and lathers just like any other shampoo. My hair's softness would most likely be due to its repair mask that I would use afterwards so I don't think the shampoo itself has anything to do with the how soft my hair became.

    I also did not know its price til I checked and completely agree with everyone else that $30 is way too much for a tiny bottle.

    It's a good shampoo for dry hair, and if you want to splurge on it then I would definitely recommend this product.

    I had the chance to try the L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo and I found it to be a really good shampoo that left my hair feeling soft and really clean. I noticed the difference as soon as I washed my hair and my hair continues feeling soft and smooth. I have used several repair hair shampoos before I really liked how my hair felt the next day with this one. I do think that it is overpriced for the size of the bottle but if it was a bit more reasonably priced I would consider buying it again and recommending it to other people.

    Thank you ChickAdvisor and L'Oreal for sending me such a great product! I was pleasantly surprised with the smell of the shampoo. It has a nice, light, fruity smell. You only have to use a little of the product because it lathers and cleans wonderfully. I actually saw this product in the store, and I have to admit, even though it IS a great product, the price is really, really high! I would definitely recommend it to friends, but something really has to be done about the price!

    What I liked:

    - The packaging. It reminds me of a little milk bottle, and the color is pleasing.
    - The smell. It has a summery, coconutty smell that appeals to me. It also has an undertone of...mango...maybe that isn't necessary. The coconut smell lingers on the hair, and it's quite pleasant when you toss your hair around.
    - The lather. A small amount goes a long way.
    - It works. It does what a shampoo should do.

    What I didn't like:

    - The price. For such a tiny bottle, I couldn't justify the cost. If it were cheaper, I would buy it occasionally, but it wouldn't be my "holy grail" go-to shampoo.
    - It isn't sulfate free, and I really think all beauty products should be these days.

    All in all, it's a nice shampoo. It's rich and creamy. I wish it were sulphate free.

    I received this product courtesy of the product review club. I received this right when I was looking to try something new, so it was great timing! I have used it a few times to ensure consistent results before reviewing, so this review is written after several uses.

    My hair is fine, but there's a lot of it. I colour it a lot, and although I don't think I have split ends, my hair tends to look dry, and I do have frizz and flyaways (especially in the dry winter season!), so I'm always on the lookout for something moisturizing.

    The first thing I noticed was the smell. It smells soooo good!! It smells pineapple-y. A very soft smell, not strong or overpowering at all. The texture is quite creamy, and the first time I used it I had to re-read the label and make sure it says 'shampoo' and not conditioner. It lathers well considering its conditioner like consistency. It made my hair feel soft and smooth as I was rinsing it out (just like a good conditioner)! I actually used it alone a few times, without any conditioners 'cuz I wanted to see what happens. And what happened was soft smooth hair! My hair didn't feel dry or frizzy, it actually felt like I did condition my hair.

    I blow dried my hair and it continued to feel soft and conditioned. I would even go so far as to not use conditioner when I use this shampoo, 'cuz it seems to do such a good job conditioning my hair.

    All in all, I would definitely recommend this to my friends, and I'm sure I'll be buying this myself once the bottle runs out. My only complaint would be that the bottle is so tiny! I have a lot of hair and feel like I need a lot of shampoo, so I'll have to curb that impulse when I use this and try to use less to make it last longer.
