Awful shampoo experience....Paul Mitchell Review

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

I purchased Paul Mitchell tea tree shampoo off Drugstore.com as an alternative to Kenra Clarifying ( which I love) as my scalp tends to get icky if it isnt very clean. So i bring only the Paul Mitchell and the Paul Mitchell Hair Repair Treatment as an alternative to K pak into the bathroom to wash my hair. The Hair Repair Treatment seemed like a good conditioner before today. I start to wash my hair and enjoy the strong tea tree/mint scent of the PM and at first it wont lather too well so I use more. Still isnt lathering well and my hair is becoming dry. So I keep washing trying to get at my scalp more but its hard because my hair is almost matting. My hair barely ever tangles at all regularly even with Vo5 poos I dont get tangles. My hair feels HORRID after im done shampooing, just all hard and stiff and dry. So I use the Hair Repair Treatment but it just wont moisturize enough and I probably used a third of the 16 oz pump bottle. I rinse and my hair its still all stiff and dryerplexed. I finally gave up, grabbed a towel, ran to my closet and grabbed my trusty Joico Moisture Recovery along with some 99 cent Vo5( lovvvvve those) and put an enormous amount into my hair and it felt almost normal after. I guess its back to Joico, I guess its better sometimes not to stray from the products that work well.....

Sorry about your bad experience with PM. I was just thinking of adding that to my regi. Sometimes I wonder if you just get a bad product or what. It's one of those things like you'll never know.

I know exactly what you mean about knowing the difference with your hair tangling. Mine doesn't tangle either and I can tell right away if it mats while washing and I know I'm not gonna like it when I rinse.

Thanks for the review!

So sorry for your experience, it’s a good job that you had your trusty Vo5 and Joico at hand. Thanks for sharing.

I had a love affair with PM for a while but it left my hair very dry/stripped.I didn't care for the repair treatment either,it made my hair very tangled and dry.

I HATE PM. I was reading such good reviews on those products and so I used the Supercharged conditioner. Totally sucked.

PM i love it but not all the products i hate the tea tree shampoo and conditioner it leaves my hair yuckie. I would not recommend anyone to use the tea tree.

Try the super skinny next time and as for the hair repair thats a very high protein treatment i wouldnt suggest using it unless your hair is really breaking

I had the same experience with the PM Tea Tree shampoo.

I"m not a fan of PM, it is not for AA hair in my opinion, even though back in the days my mom use to use it at the salons and it was good, don't know what happened. everytime I try to use PM products I end up mad.
