I picked up a box of 5 sachets from Watsons in Johor Bahru some time back this year. Surprisingly, its not found on our local shores. I have not been using Loreal products for a while as it always seemed abit over-rated for the performance it delivers.

Each sachet can lasts me for about 3 times of usages from shoulder to bra-length hair. I used it like a conditioner, coated my hair with it and allow it to penetrate it for the next 3 to 5 minutes and skipped my regular conditioner whenever I am using this.

I hardly ever use hair masks because most hair masks in the market require you to have it on the hair for at least 10 to 20minutes which I can hardly keep to. This deep repair hair mask only requires about 2 minutes for it to weave its magic, on washed or towel-dried hair.

It is difficult to open the sachet, even with the slit available. A pair of scissors will do a better job.
The texture of the white coloured hair masque is thick and concentrated. Each time I opened a sachet, I used it for 3 days because using the whole sachet on the hair seemed to be abit overdosed. Thereafter, I stopped for a few days before resuming the cycle again.

During the initial phase, it made my hair really soft and silky. Even my bad tangled hair was detangled beautifully. But after the 2nd sachet, the magic was gone.
Even though the hair did feel soft and the tangled hair ends were detangled on most of the times ( read : not every time ), the performance seemed on par with a good conditioner, considering that this is a deep repair hair mask.

Hair Fall - I have a normal hair-fall rate. While using this hair masque, I did not notice a significant improvement to the hair fall.
Dryness - The hair masque did nourish the hair but a good conditioner can do a good job as well.
Roughness - This hair masque made the hair soft and silky initially and maintained the softness throughout the usage of the 5 sachets
Dullness - My hair does appear to have more vitality and vibrant, compared to not using the hair masque.
Split Ends - My split-end condition is manageable at this point, so I can hardly see a significant improvement to it.
