Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo 33.8 fl oz — Hydrating, Color-Safe Formula for Fine & Static-Prone Hair

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo is a color-safe, hydrating cleanser that removes dulling buildup while adding shine and manageability for all hair types, especially fine or static-prone hair.

This salon-favorite formula, made with Hawaiian awapuhi, creates a rich lather to lift away impurities and lightweight residues without stripping color-treated strands. It leaves hair feeling softer, easier to comb and visibly brighter with a refreshing cucumber-melon fragrance accented by soft floral notes. The large 33.8 fl. oz size is designed to last through many washes and the new packaging uses post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials to help reduce environmental impact.

How does this shampoo hydrate hair without weighing it down?

The Awapuhi formula balances moisture by blending conditioning ingredients that smooth the cuticle while still rinsing clean. That means fine hair gains slip and shine without becoming limp or greasy.

• Lightweight conditioning agents retain moisture without heavy residues
• Rich, foaming lather lifts dirt and product buildup for cleaner strands
• Formulated to improve manageability and reduce flyaways

Will this shampoo protect my color-treated hair?

Yes—Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo is color-safe and designed to help preserve vibrancy. It cleanses gently to remove dulling buildup that can make color look faded, while avoiding harsh sulfates that strip pigments.

• Color-safe surfactant system protects salon color
• Removes residue that dulls shine so color appears brighter
• Suitable for regular use on chemically treated hair

What does it smell like and how long does the scent last?

The scent profile combines refreshing cucumber-melon top notes with subtle floral undertones for a clean, uplifting aroma. Fragrance longevity varies with hair porosity and styling routine, but many users notice a pleasant scent that lingers mildly after rinsing.

• Uplifting cucumber-melon opening notes
• Soft floral base for a balanced, non-overpowering fragrance
• Leaves hair smelling fresh without heavy perfume residue

How does the packaging reflect Paul Mitchell’s sustainability efforts?

The retail bottles now include post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic to reduce virgin-plastic use, and labels and low-profile caps are chosen to improve recyclability where accepted by local programs. Pumps and some caps remain virgin material, but overall PCR content is increased.

• Retail bottles contain 50% PCR material for reduced environmental footprint
• Tubes are 25% PCR; pumps and select caps excluded
• Low-profile caps and label design aim to simplify recycling steps

Who is this for? Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo is ideal for anyone seeking a dependable everyday cleanser that hydrates, detangles and restores shine—particularly suited to fine, static-prone or color-treated hair. If you want a salon-formula that removes buildup while protecting color and leaving hair soft, fragrant and more manageable, this 33.8 fl. oz professional-size bottle is a practical choice for home use, couples or small families.
