Paul Mitchell Super Smooth Shampoo for Frizzy Hair, 33.8 fl. oz. — Sulfate-Free, Squalane Smoothing

Paul Mitchell Super Smooth Shampoo is a daily, sulfate-free cleanser formulated with plant-derived squalane to reduce frizz and leave hair softer and more manageable.

This 33.8 fl. oz. salon-size bottle delivers a gentle daily wash designed for frizzy, unmanageable hair. The formula avoids harsh sulfates (SLS, SLES, ALS) and uses plant-derived squalane to help smooth cuticles and improve manageability, while a lush fruity fragrance leaves hair smelling fresh. Developed by John Paul Mitchell Systems, this shampoo pairs with the Super Smooth Conditioner for best smoothing results.

How does this shampoo help tame frizz during everyday styling?

The sulfate-free formula cleans without stripping natural oils, helping maintain moisture balance that reduces flyaways. Plant-derived squalane works on the hair surface to smooth and soften strands, improving comb-through and styling control. Regular use with a compatible conditioner increases noticeable smoothness over time.

• Removes dirt and buildup gently without harsh sulfates
• Squalane smooths the hair surface for easier styling
• Light fruity scent masks odors without heavy residue

Is this shampoo suitable for colored or chemically treated hair?

The gentle, sulfate-free formulation is generally more color-friendly than traditional sulfate shampoos, helping hair hold color longer by avoiding aggressive stripping. Still, pairing with a color-protecting conditioner or treatment is recommended for maintained vibrancy. For highly porous or recently processed hair, consult your stylist before changing products.

• Sulfate-free choice helps reduce color fade compared to SLS formulas
• Works safely with routine salon services when used as directed
• Combine with conditioner for extra moisture and protection

How should I use Super Smooth Shampoo for best results?

Apply a small amount to wet hair, lather gently from roots to ends, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with Paul Mitchell Super Smooth Conditioner to maximize smoothing benefits—third-party testing reports the best smoothing when both products are used together. Adjust frequency to your hair's needs; many see improvement with regular daily or every-other-day washing.

• Wet hair, apply small amount, lather, rinse
• Pair with Super Smooth Conditioner for optimal smoothness
• Use daily or as needed based on scalp and hair type

What sensory and formulation details should I expect?

The shampoo has a lush, juicy fragrance blending apple, dewberry, white peach and wild strawberry notes for a fresh, fruity finish. Texture is a smooth, aqueous gel that lathers easily without heavy foaming typical of SLS products. The formula focuses on manageability and softness rather than intense sudsing.

• Fruity, salon-style scent with light, refreshing notes
• Silky gel texture that rinses clean without residue
• Free of SLS, SLES and ALS surfactants

Who is this for: Paul Mitchell Super Smooth Shampoo is designed for people with frizzy, hard-to-manage hair who want a gentler daily cleanser that improves softness and styling control. It suits those seeking a salon-quality, sulfate-free option and anyone who pairs shampoo and conditioner for the best smoothing results. If you have very fine, oily hair or specific scalp conditions, adjust frequency or consult your stylist to ensure the best routine.
