Awapuhi Wild Ginger Paul Mitchell Nourishing Shampoo, Ultra-Rich 8.5 fl oz — Sulfate-Free, Color-Safe Repair

Awapuhi Wild Ginger by Paul Mitchell is an ultra-rich, color-safe shampoo that gently cleanses, repairs dry or damaged strands, and helps preserve hair color in an 8.5 fl. oz. bottle.

This sulfate-free formula (without SLS, SLES, ALS) combines Awapuhi extract from Paul Mitchell’s Hawaiian farm with KeraTriplex keratin protein technology to replenish and strengthen each strand while balancing moisture. Designed for dry, damaged, and color-treated hair, the shampoo produces a luxurious lather, leaves hair more manageable, and is mild enough for daily use. The bottle is purposefully made from at least 25% post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, so packaging color may vary slightly.

How does this shampoo protect color while cleansing?

The formula avoids harsh sulfates known to strip dye, and uses gentle surfactants that remove buildup without accelerating color fade. KeraTriplex helps maintain strand integrity so cuticles lie smoother, which reduces color washout and keeps tones vibrant between salon visits.

• Sulfate-free cleansing to minimize color stripping
• Keratin blend strengthens strands to lock in pigment
• Gentle daily use keeps color consistent over time

What repairs dry or damaged hair in the formula?

KeraTriplex is the product’s targeted repair system: a keratin protein blend that replenishes and fills weakened areas along the hair fiber. Awapuhi extract adds controlled moisture so hair becomes softer and easier to manage without feeling weighed down.

• KeraTriplex keratin proteins replenish and smooth the shaft
• Awapuhi extract balances hydration for improved manageability
• Leaves strands softer and less prone to breakage with continued use

Will this shampoo suit a daily routine and sensitive scalps?

Yes — the gentle, sulfate-free base and absence of parabens make it suitable for everyday use on most hair types, including those with treated or delicate scalps. The ginger tea fragrance is present but not overpowering, offering a salon-fresh scent without aggressive detergents.

• Formulated for daily use on dry, damaged, and color-treated hair
• Free from SLS, SLES, ALS, and parabens to reduce irritation risk
• Mild scent: ginger tea for a fresh, subtle aroma

What should I expect from the bottle and sustainability details?

Each bottle is purposefully imperfect: made from a minimum of 25% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, so color and finish can vary slightly. The cap and bottle are engineered for salon and at-home convenience, delivering the right amount of product without waste.

• 8.5 fl. oz. travel-friendly size for home or trips
• At least 25% PCR packaging — aesthetic variations are normal
• Designed for easy dispensing and controlled use

Who is this for: Awapuhi Wild Ginger Nourishing Shampoo is for anyone with dry, damaged, or color-treated hair who wants a salon-quality, sulfate-free daily cleanser that repairs strands while protecting color.
