    I love L'Oreal products and had been very intrigued by this shampoo. I was thrilled to try it and the first thing I noticed was how thick the shampoo is compared to other brands which often feel like water. Not the case here.

    I applied on my hair and used as directed. It was extremely easy to use and rinse off, although because of the thickness, I found myself passing the water a little longer (no problem there). As soon as the shampoo was off, I touched my hair and noticed that it was soft - even while wet.

    But, to me, the real test is when my hair finally dries off. I loved the feel of my hair throughout the blow drying time and when I was done, my hair was STILL soft - and had that beauty parlor glow that I keep searching for and can never seem to find with most of the other brands. My hair looked great and flowed (which is the look I was going for).

    Add this product to my love for L'Oreal products :) The only downside - I am not sure I could afford to buy this shampoo on an ongoing basis as it is a bit pricey.

    First off, I'd like to thank ChickAdvisor for sending me this product to review!

    I really do like this product a lot, but like others, I was in shock when I researched the price. The price is way too steep for such a small bottle, though the quality is amazing.

    The texture was really creamy and it applied smoothly. I liked the scent; I can't quite place what exactly it smelled like, but it was awesome! It wasn't overpowering at all. The shampoo lathered well and rinsed out clean. When my hair dried I noticed it was a little smoother than usual, which made my day! Less frizz = a happy Steffikah!

    I find that it works better than typical drug store shampoos, and dare I say it's relatively close to salon quality. I would definitely recommend it if I knew the person could afford it. It's really a great product, I just wish the price was a little more affordable.

    I received this product to review from the Chick Advisor Review Club.

    Upon first seeing the bottle, I was surprised at how small the bottle was for the price. I opened the bottle up and wasn't hit with a strong fragrance like with most shampoos.

    The shampoo had a light fragrance that in my opinion smell liked grass. I wasn't particularly fond of it, but it wasn't too bad. I decided to first start out by trying a small amount of the shampoo to see how much would be needed for my long hair. I was surprised that I was able to use a lot less shampoo than other brands. The lather was just right. Not too sudsy. It rinsed out fairly easily. When used without conditioner it left my hair feeling softer and healthier looking without feeling weighed down. I think it is a great shampoo that works well on its own to hydrate dry hair on the days where you are in a hurry or don't feel like using a conditioner. When paired with L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Masque, you get major hydrating results.

    Although the price is a little high, I would definitely recommend this shampoo to others.

    There is a reason L'OREAL is one of the top beauty companies in Canada. They know how to create a product that works. I was chosen to receive a sample of their Intense repair shampoo and conditioner. I liked the subtle fragrance for a start and liked how easily the shampoo washed out of my hair. I have naturally curly, coloured hair. The shampoo left my hair feeling very smooth. I used the L'Oreal Professionel Intense Conditioner and was very pleased with the result once my hair dried. My hair can be very dry and it felt softer. I think this is a product that can be very useful to people, like myself, who have colour treated, dry hair that needs smoothing and moisture. I recommend both these products. My only request is that they change the packaging on the conditioner to a tube. I have issues with dipping my fingers into a tub of product.

    I received L'Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo & Intense Repair Masque to review as part of a campaign through ChickAdvisor. I was so excited when I received this product in the mail. I have very thick hair that tends to get staticy and frizzy in the winter from the dry air and from the over styling when I had longer hair, I'm sure that didn't help. Since I chopped off all my hair, I don't use alot of styling tools anymore ( ie: Blow dryer, Flat iron) which as a result, has helped control the dryness a little bit. But I have started coloring my hair again recently and have noticed the dryness coming back.

    My Thoughts:

    Like all hair products, when I received this, I had to smell it right away, smells awesome! Clean and refreshing. It almost has some sort of melon scent to it, I could be way off. I just can't quite put my finger on the actual scent. It provided lots of foamy lather, which I love and rinsed out quickly with no build up left in my hair. It left it feeling really clean

    The first thing (again, yes I know) I did when I got this product was smell it - smells awesome. Fresh, and refreshing. It lathers up easily, which again is an added plus because I have thick hair and usually need a ton of shampoo to actually clean everything. Rinsed out nice & clean and left my hair feeling super clean. I like the style of the bottle, makes it easy to squish the liquid out as well as hold/grab while in the shower.

    I was so excited when I received this product in the mail. I have thick, long hair that tends to get frizzy in the winter from the dry air and over styling! I have tried this product trice since receiving it and LOVED it! The smell was unique and reminded me of winter squash. Personally, the smell of the product wasn't my favorite for shampoo but it wasn't bad, just different!

    My hair is no longer frizzy after two uses, just two. I will definitely buy this product.

    First of all...thanks to Chick Advisor for giving me the opportunity to try this product. I really enjoyed using both products. They left my hair feeling soft and very manageable. There didn't seem to be a lot of build up with the product which is something I notice with other products since I only wash my hair 3 times/week. I was able to go a full three days and my hair did't get greasy! LOVE THAT!! The only thing I was iffy on was the smell, it just didn't have that appealing of a scent, it was fine but with a high end product like this, I expected a better scent. Keep up the great work Loreal...you never fail to impress me with your products.

    I received this shampoo as well as the mask from the Chick Advisor Review Club. The review of the mask is under that product name. I was so excited to receive it and try it out! It is the only shampoo I have been using since it arrived last week. My hair is long and thick - I almost always use a heat tool for styling. I thought the shampoo smelled really nice - the scent was not overpowering. It lathered very well and when I was rinsing it out, I could feel the silk feel to my hair. It also rinsed out well. I also noticed a great decrease in the amount of tangles that I had after coming out of the shower and attempting to brush my hair. I did also notice that my hair was softer and overall more healthy looking. I love everything about this shampoo, including the added nutrients! However, the price is quite steep - but as the saying goes - you get what you pay for!! I would recommend this shampoo to others if you are looking for healthy, soft and great smelling hair!

    I was so happy with this shampoo. My hair is curly/thick/dry/frizzy so I was thrilled to try it... Especially with this winter weather! The shampoo was good. It cleaned well and seemed moisturizing enough! It smelled really nice too!
