    Thank you soo much Chick Advisor for giving me the opportunity to try out this product! I'm very happy to!
    Now on to the review...
    When I first got the product I opened it up right away and smelled it.. it smells soo amazing. I love when a really good product smells good! Overall I have seen a difference in the way my hair feels and it is a lot softer then before. I would probably buy the the hair mask for my hair so I can use it once every week. I like to mix up my products all the time. Also, when brushing out my hair.. I found that it was a lot better since I get a lot of tangles because my hair is so fine and very blonde. I always have to treat my hair like a baby! haha
    I would def recommend this product to people.. but as I said.. I'm the type of person that I like to try new products all the time and switch it up!

    Thank you chick advisor! I receved the product yesterday and gave it a try. IT WAS AMAZING! Im not to sure if I would actually go out and buy it unless it comes in a bigger bottle, I always buy huge bottles that way I dont have to pick any up forever but it smells amazing in the bottle ... kinda melonly untill you put it in your hair I found that it had a really perfumey chemical smell.it has a pretty creamy texture and lathers great, better then any shampoo I'v used before a little goes a long way. As of yet I cant tell if its moistureizing, the ends of my hair still feel pretty dry. on the other hand the rest of my hair feel super soft and it was uber easy to brush my hair after, I usually have a hell of a time trying to brush through my hair after a shower. so all in all it is a pretty good product, with a few more uses i hope to see a difference in the moisture levels.......and i almost forgot I dont know if it was just the bottles the were sent out to test but in the ingredent on mine it was aqua/ water but water was balcked out with a sharpi i had to scrach it off to see what was underneith that kinda seemed unprofessional to me ...if it was the company that did it.

    I was really excited to have been chosen to test out this shampoo, especially since my hair got really dry from my last coloring. I tried the shampoo on it's own first.

    I thought it looked creamy and rich and at first I thought the smell was quite pleasant. It felt really nice in my hair, but I found I liked the smell less and less. I don't know what it was, but I can only describe it as artificial. It certainly wasn't enough to make me stop using it, just not as pleasant as it seemed at first. I can't really comment about color wash out because I used a different brand of dye and it had been washing out a lot already.(it didn't really bother me though, because i want it to wash out anyway)

    Even while I was showering my hair felt better, smoother. I was pleasantly surprised when I combed my hair, I didn't even need to use a detangling spray! I dried and flat ironed it and my hair felt and looked so much better than before. It was shinier and felt smoother and I can only assume it will keep getting better the more I use it. The 'artificial" smell of it also went back to the pleasant smell when it was all dry.

    I thought it worked really well and I really liked using it. I can overlook the smell as the results are well worth it. I think it's a bit pricey for me, but if I could afford it I would definitely buy it again as well as recommend it to anyone who needs help with dry hair.

    I don’t know if it’s the strange weather we’ve bin having in lower Ontario this winter, or if it’s the type of shampoo I’ve bin using, but my hair hasn’t bin happy this winter at all. When I was given the chance to try L’Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo I was thrilled and thought maybe just maybe this will help me out. I’ve only bought hair products from a salon once before and I had bad results with it, so I wasn’t sure how this would work out for me. First off my hair is two feet long, thin, straight as a pin and tends to get oily on top, but is very dry ever where else. Some of the other Chicks that have already reviewed this product have mentioned that they didn’t care for the smell of it. I didn’t mind it, but it wasn’t something to write home about either. It does lather up very well, but with my hair being the type it is, I had two feet of massive knots once I was able to get the shampoo all rinsed out. After my hair was dry, witch I let it do on its own as much as possible, I found that my hair was fuzzy on the bottom, flat on top and just didn’t look, or feel good like I would expect it too after using a salon type of shampoo. My hair actually looks worse now then it did before I started using this line. If this shampoo would have left my hair soft and healthy looking, I would have spent the extra money on it and recommended it to other’s, but after trying it out five times and still getting the same type of results, I wouldn’t bother making the extra tip to a salon to buy it, waste my money on it, or recommend it. I was so disappointed with the L’Oreal Professionnel Intense Repair Shampoo, sorry ladies, but thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to try it out.

    Okay I am so glad that I got chosen to review this product so thanks again Chick Advisor!

    This product was actually pretty good it left my hair feeling really soft because my ends tend to feel dry and brittle. After I used this shampoo I noticed that my hair was really clean. My hair tends to be quite tangled because my hair is long but after using this product and combing my hair the tangles just came out with ease. I do think that this shampoo is better than the shampoo I am using currently. Although I will say that I wasn't too keen on the smell because it either smelled like banana medicine or plastic but overall the smell doesn't bother me all that much. I would recommend this product to people that I know have dry hair and are struggling to find a good shampoo.

    I got to test out this shampoo as part of the product review club and I just want to say how grateful I am to be given the opportunity to try out new products!

    I am using this shampoo in conjunction with the hair masque. I really like this shampoo because of the smell. It smells really nice without being overpowering. This shampoo also cleanses my hair pretty well. It does not leave residue and my hair feels really clean after using it. Sometimes, some shampoos make my hair still feel oily after but this shampoo gets rid of all the dirt and nastiness leaving clean hair ready for conditioner. I do think the best part of the shampoo is the sweet kind of coconut smell. Also, I thought the packaging is quite cute as well.

    I am glad I got to be part of the clickadvisor reviewer of this product. I love the smell, kind of like coconut, but not over powering. I can make a great lather with it and rinses well. Even before I use the conditioning mask I can feel my hair is softer. And after using this product for a week I totally wish I would be able to buy this product in the stores, I hope my local hair dresser will get it in stock.
    I do not know the price of this product so I can not comment on this. But I'd pay more then the store brands for it.

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS

    Decent sized product. When I first used this, the first thing that I noticed was the smell. I honestly don't like the smell. The first thing that it reminded me of was plastic. It's not a strong overpowering smell, it's just not a smell that I particularily enjoyed. I did notice that my hair was moisturized when using this product. I have thin, frizzy hair, and this did end up moisturizing it. The one thing is that I didn't notice that it moisturized any more than my regular moisturizing shampoo. I still have a few fly-a-ways, but all in all, it made my hair feel smooth.

    OVERALL

    I was able to recieve these products for free from Chick Advisor, so I'm not too sure the price, but if it were any more than my regular shampoo, I don't think I would go for it. It was just an average shampoo for me.

    Pros:

    -Moisturizes hair

    Cons:

    -Price?
    -Smell

    I rate this product 6/10

    Thank you to Chick Advisor for the opportunity to review this product. It is great!

    I have tried all types of shampoos from expensive salon shampoos to $2 drugstore buys. I usually find that the shampoos leave my hair feeling dry. But not L'Oreal Professional Intense Repair shampoo. It leaves my hair feeling soft and light, even after blow drying. I used the shampoo without the masque at first and found it was wonderful. It has a light, fruity scent and is creamy in texture. You do not need to use a lot of it, which is good given its cost. Overall, I liked this product.

    Adding the masque after having used the shampoo just makes my hair feel fabulous.

    I've just received this product and...oh my...that's all i have to say.

    I struggle a lot with dry, knotted hair .I will wash my hair and condition them and will have all the trouble in the world to detangle them.

    I've tried this shampoo twice now and i really love it. The scent is not overpowering. I just used a little.

    I noticed a big difference. (the first time i used the shampoo without the masque that i received) so i could really test the shampoo itself.
    I know this is usually a little on the expensive side buy i will definitely buy it
