Paul Mitchell Super Smooth Shampoo 10.14 fl oz — Sulfate-Free Frizz Control, Smoothes & Softens Hair

Paul Mitchell Super Smooth Shampoo is a daily, sulfate-free cleanser that reduces frizz and leaves hair noticeably softer and easier to manage.

This salon-grade shampoo is designed for frizzy, hard-to-control hair. Formulated without common sulfates (SLS, SLES, ALS) and enriched with plant-derived squalane, it gently removes impurities while smoothing the hair surface so strands sit calmer and feel silkier. The scent blends fruity top notes for a fresh, uplifting wash, and the packaging uses post-consumer recycled materials to support better recyclability.

How does this shampoo help when my hair gets frizzy after humidity or heat?

Super Smooth Shampoo works by smoothing the hair cuticle and delivering lightweight moisture to reduce surface roughness that causes frizz. Used regularly with the matching conditioner, it can make styling simpler and reduce flyaways so hair responds better to blow-drying and heat styling.

• Plant-derived squalane tames frizz and improves strand manageability.
• Sulfate-free formula cleans without over-stripping natural oils.
• Pairs with Super Smooth Conditioner for up to 80% smoother results in testing.

Will this shampoo work on color-treated or chemically processed hair?

The formula is gentle and free of aggressive sulfates, which helps preserve color and maintain moisture balance in processed hair. It cleans effectively while avoiding harsh detergents that can accelerate fade or dryness, but always follow with a suitable conditioner for added protection.

• Sulfate-free base to be kinder to color-treated strands.
• Restores softness after chemical services by improving manageability.
• Best results when combined with color-safe conditioners and masks.

How should I use Paul Mitchell Super Smooth Shampoo for best results?

Apply a small amount to wet hair, lather, and rinse thoroughly, repeating if hair is very dirty or product-heavy. For maximum smoothing, follow with Super Smooth Conditioner and style with heat-protectant products as needed; consistent use enhances manageability over time.

• Use daily or as needed based on scalp and styling routine.
• Massage gently to distribute and lift buildup without roughing the cuticle.
• Follow with conditioner and detangle carefully to lock in smoothness.

Is the packaging environmentally friendly and what does that mean?

Paul Mitchell has updated its retail packaging to include post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and simplified caps and labels to improve recyclability. Bottles and jars use 50% PCR, while tubes contain 25% PCR; note that pumps and some caps remain made from virgin materials.

• Retail bottles and jars contain 50% post-consumer recycled plastic.
• Tubes are made with 25% PCR content; pumps excluded from PCR claim.
• Labels and cap designs aim to meet local recycling requirements more easily.

Who this is for: Ideal for anyone with frizzy, unruly hair who wants a gentler daily shampoo that smooths and softens without sulfates. It suits those seeking salon-quality performance at home, people with color-treated hair looking for a milder cleansing option, and shoppers who prefer brands that take steps toward sustainable packaging. If you need a routine that improves manageability and pairs with styling tools or smoothing treatments, Super Smooth Shampoo is a practical choice.
