I really liked the shampoo. It had just a simple scent, not to strong. It lathered really well so a little goes a long way. I actually found my hair seems to have more bounce using this product. Thanks L'Oreal and I would use again depending on price(not sure of cost) and I would recommend to a friend!

Thank you for the opportunity to try this product. I have used this shampoo several times now and here is what I like about it. The scent is very nice and not overpowering which is great. The shampoo lathered really nicely and I found that I did not have to use a big amount of it on my hair. My hair is very curly and dry but I found my hair to be softer after the use. The one big thing I found was that I do not have to pre brush my hair before using this product. My hair was easy to brush after the shampoo and conditioner. I have always had to pre brush my hair before washing it but with this product I do not have to.Overall I like this shampoo but the size was not very big. I do not know if this is the biggest size that is available but if it is I might be a bit hesitant to buy it.

I am very excited to write about this product,L"OREAL is one of my favorites brand, I believe L'OREAL carry only quality products. I have been using the shampoo for 8 days now and I like it a lot, but I must say it didn't wow me. Its very easy to use the routine is like applying shampoo and conditioner is really not more complicated, The scent is good, but I do like more when my hair is left with a more noticeable smell after washed. Another thing I liked is that no need great amount of the product, I do have a lot of hair (and I wash it everyday), so when I saw the bottle size I wasn't really sure if it was going to last long, but it does.
The first day i tried it didn't amazed me, but the more I use it, the more I'm loving it. My hair is really smooth, My curly hair is hard to condition but this product is really working for me. My hair doesn't feel dry at all and it's winter!
I have tried a lot of treatments before and, well; to be honest, it really didn't amazed me.I find it a bit pricey; having said that, I would buy it anyway, regardless the price because I liked it and It worked well for me, although I would like to see it improved with a more noticeable scent.
I would positively recommend it. I think the price is good not great, but is worth it.

1. What was your overall experience with this product? (e.g. ease of use, texture/scent, etc)
The product was easy to use (it is shampoo after all)! There weren't any confusing instructions or steps. The only comment I could make was that the ingredients/instructions were very tiny. I also found that the shampoo did not lather very well. I'm so used to lathering that I would absentmindedly add more shampoo. I thought that it might be a sulfate free shampoo, but that was not that case. Anyway after a few uses I got used to that, so it was not a a deterrent by any means. The smell was very unusual and pleasant (banana, pineapple, citrus, not sure?) and it came in a cute yellow bottle. However just to add, the bottle was pretty small.

2. Did you notice any changes to your hair? (e.g. smoothness, moisture levels, healthy appearance, etc)
I did feel my hair was more softer and seemed less dry than normal. The first couple of times I used the product I didn't use any of the products I put in my hair normally after washing it. I found my hair didn't appear more smooth unfortunately. It did however appear more healthy.

3. How do these products compare to other hydrating or reparative hair treatments you’ve tried in the past (if any)?
I've tried other similar products, including a masque by L'oreal and I found that the results were similar. I didn't notice my hair was so much more smoother or so much more hydrated after using these products. I found drugstore brands yielded similar results.

4. Would you consider purchasing these products in the future and/or recommend them to a friend?
For the price of 30.00 I probably wouldn't. I use drugstore brands and they've been working for me. Due to the size of the product and the results I would not buy it in the future. If the price lowered I would definitely consider it :)

Overall I found the L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo to be very good. The smell is very nice, not too strong, just enough to make it pleasant during shampooing. I only needed a small amount to get a good lather. I have very thick hair and usually need a little more shampoo to get a good lather, but this lathered well. My hair was more managable, and had a nice shine too after using this shampoo. Along with the shine, my hair seemed healthier and softer. The only negative thing I noticed was that my scalp seemed to dry out after using this shampoo the first couple of times, but did improved a bit with use. I found this shampoo to be good compared to other hydrating products I have used. I may consider buying this shampoo again if I continue to see improvement in my hair and the dry scalp issue improves. I felt that the products were a bit expensive for the amount that you receive. I would recommend this product to someone who has dry hair and wants to have a noticable improvement. It definitely makes your hair look healthier!!!

1. What was your overall experience with this product? (e.g. ease of use, texture/scent, etc)
I really liked this product! I did find that because I only wash my hair about 2x a week, I had to do it twice since the formula was thin and my hair is long. The scent was banana-y and light and enjoyable. I even used it in conjunction with my regular conditioner and found that my hair augmented the conditioner.

2. Did you notice any changes to your hair? (e.g. smoothness, moisture levels, healthy appearance, etc)
After the first wash, I found that my hair was less frizzy after blow-drying and looked shinier. That lasted into the second day. I actually cut out my smoothing cream since using it.

3. Would you consider purchasing these products in the future and/or recommend them to a friend
Yes! THough the bottle needs to be bigger or else it will become expensive.

The Loreal Professionnel Intense Repair duo is really nice. I was a little intimidated about the "intense" title, so I called Loreal's customer service to ask if it was safe for everyday use and all they said was that regular use was fine. "Regular" doesn't exactly mean daily, but I figure they would've warned me if there was any cause for concern.
So I've been using this pretty much every day for about 10 days. For hair my length (about 24"), the conditioning mask won't go too far, but I'm hoping to make it last by alternating with other products.

First Impression
The packaging is appealing, but if there is a bigger size available, I would opt for that. Both are highly fragrant, but smell really nice... a little banana-y, maybe, with a fresh perfume fragance. I can't say I've noticed this scent in my hair when it's all said and done, however.

Use
The shampoo is thin, but an average size works well. It lathers nicely and rinses out easily. The conditioner is really thick and rich - I love the texture.
One thing I don't like is that the instructions for the conditioning mask say to apply it to towel-dried hair. Wierd, I thought. I did it the first few times, but honestly, the extra time and effort it took to wrap my hair up in the middle of my shower proved to be more of a hassle than anything. Now I just squeeze as much water as I can out of my hair before I apply it and I don't notice that it works any differently.

Results
These treatments definitely pack a punch. I enjoy the set and I do think it helps to restore some moisture in my hair - which is crucial this time of year in central Alberta! My hair was softer after one use, but I didn't notice that it made my hair much smoother. The benefits seemed to plataeu after the first few uses, but I'm happy with the healthier level that my hair seems to have reached.
One undeniable benefit, in my case at least, is the crazy shine my hair has after I use these products! I really can't believe it - it catches my eye every time I pass by a mirror! Also, the shampoo label boasts "spectacular detangling", and that definitely checks out here! I was so surprised at how easily the comb ran through my hair the first time I tried these!

I'd like to say thanks to the Product Review Club for choosing me to try this product :)

Thanks to ChickAdvisor for the opportunity to try L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo. It smells great, which is a MUST for me when it comes to my hair care products. My hair has been incredibly dry lately because of the weather (and being overdue for a haircut) and this product left my hair super soft and silky smooth. I noticed a difference immediately after my first use. After a week of use, my hair is so soft and feels less dry and brittle. The other bonus - my hands were extremely dry lately due to excessive washing and the shampoo made my hands feel softer and smoother too! I'm a happy camper for sure and would buy again.

Thank you so much Chick Advisor for the opportunity to test the L'oreal Intense Repair shampoo!!!!

First, a quick explanation of my hair type - I'm of East Indian descent and was blessed with long silky wavy/curly hair. Nevertheless, given my infatuation with straight hair, I decided to take the plunge and have my hair chemically straightened... BIG MISTAKE. This, along with ten years of straightening, have turned my once beautiful tresses into a horrifying mess of long straw-like frizzy dry hair.

I was super excited to find out that I was going to be receiving the L'oreal Intense Repair Shampoo. Having used the shampoo several times upon receipt, here is what I have found so far:

My overall experience has been quite pleasant. Although the bottle is smaller than one would hope for given the price, it is easy to handle the bottle and squeeze the desired amount. The scent reminded me of a light blend of cucumber, oats and sunscreen - although it's a pleasant and light 'summery' smell, it's not one that I am accustomed to. The consistency of the shampoo is rather thick, however, it is applied easily and you can easily spread a small amount throughout your hair. I'm more used to shampoos that build noticeable lather, something I did not find with this shampoo - perhaps this means there is less chemicals? Definitely something nice to believe!!! :) The downfall is that my hair doesn't feel as clean as with other shampoos... this might be a reality vs. perception matter given the lack of lather.

I haven't noticed a significant change in my hair in terms of moisture levels, smoothness and health - unfortunately it still looks like frizzy mess. However, I haven't used this shampoo nearly enough for it to have made a noticeable impact as of yet - I definitely am positive that there is potential! Here's the exciting bit... it seems that a few of my curls are coming back!!! I thought I had lost my curls forever given the damage I have done to my hair, but after only a few uses, it seems that there is hope!

If I had to compare this product to others that I have tried, I would rank it highly due to the fact that I've been finding hidden curls. I am hopeful that it will help with the overall moisture, smoothness and health of my hair as well... only time will tell! I do wish, however, that there was a stronger scent and greater quantity in the bottle!

The product is rather pricey, so for me to purchase it again or recommend it to a friend would require heavy justification - if my curls are restored, and if the shampoo delivers on it's claim of "Intense Repair", then I will definitely consider purchasing again. Again, I'm not even halfway through the bottle, so only time will tell! =)

Thanks Product Review Club for selecting and giving me a chance to review this product. This shampoo for sure does work the way it is advertised.

The overall experience with this product is great. The bottle design is perfect, the consistency of shampoo is just right, not too thin and not too thick. The smell is also wonderful, very subtle and not too overpowering like those cheap shampoos full of chemicals. I noticed you do not need too much of shampoo to work with, just a little goes a long way. It lathers up nicely and easy to wash. My hair for sure liking this shampoo, they are more soft and smooth, more managable and more bouncy than before using this shampoo. I have medium length and medium texture hair which tends to get frizzy and dry after shampooing. And conditioning does make them smooth, but then I get oily roots. But this shampoo appears to be amazing and my hairs just loving it. Gives me a feeling of having my hair getting washed in salon.

The only thing is the price, which is quiet steep for a tiny bottle. But since it a salon brand and is exclusively available in salons, it does justify some of it. However, I would be using this only once or twice every week in between my regular shampoo so that it lasts long.

In short, I would be buying this product again and would recommend to anyone with dry, frizzy hair.
