I was a devotee of Dove shampoos, until I got a chance to try this L’Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 Repairing Shampoo one fine day at my cousin’s place. Then on I keep one bottle of this shampoo as a stock with me. This is a good shampoo I came across accidentally!
Price : Rs.69 for 90 ml; Buy : Amazon.in

Ingredients: (I have attached the image!)
My Experience with L’Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 Repairing Shampoo:
The entire product packaging and it color, reminds me of Aishwarya Rai in bold red lips. :).
Packaging: This product comes in a plastic bottle that is white in color. The cap is a flip cap and is bright red in color. The important details printed on the bottle are also highlighted in red. On the whole, red and white makes an attractive combination.
Color, Consistency and Fragrance: The shampoo is white in color; I guess I can call it pure white.
The shampoo is midway in its consistency, neither thin nor thick. The right amount of liquid easy enough for handling. And recalling the fragrance, I find it pretty strong to my nose, yet the fragrance is good. The smell of the shampoo stays on for some more time even after rinsing it off.
The white soapy shampoo liquid is creamy and soft that resembles the perfect hair wash product. The smoothness of the product is perfect for spreading around the scalp and washing the hair.
How it works: I never use shampoo directly as it is. I drop some shampoo into my bathing mug and add some water to it. I shake the mug well so that the shampoo dissolves well and then I use this diluted shampoo for washing my hair. Well, this L’Oreal Paris shampoo lathers very well and removes off all the oil in just one wash. No second wash is needed. It leaves the scalp and hair clean and fresh. It is easy to remove any hair pack (if at all applied before bath) with this shampoo. Makes the hair smooth and shiny. I have observed it. A good shampoo to try out.
Pros:
- Attractive color combination in the package bottle.
- Flip cap bottle.
- Medium consistency of the shampoo.
- Lathers well enough for washing the hair.
- Leaves the scalp and hair clean.
- Rinses off easily with water.
- A single wash with this shampoo will do the job.
Cons:
- If other shampoo price is considered, this shampoo’s price is on the higher side.
- Strong fragrance.
Rating: 3.5/5
Do I Recommend :
Yes. A good shampoo to try that has no side effects.
Would I Repurchase?:
I do not think I will buy this every now and then. I will not make this as my routine shampoo. But I will keep one bottle as a stock. I will stick to my good old Dove Daily Shine Shampoo.
Cool review Chand :D I have read lots of reviews of this shampoo but never got a chance to try it. Have to pick it next time when I go for shopping..
Btw, did you try the conditioner from the same range?

Hmm yeah.. My hair type is fine, normal with brittle ends rarely. Would this shampoo suit me Chand? What is your hair type?
My hair is mostly normal. But scalp gets dry occasionally when I ignore them. I dont have brittle ends till now (oops touch wood). This should suit u I guess since u have normal hair
