Paul Mitchell clarifying shampoo Shampoo Two 16.9 fl oz — lemon-scented, deep-cleansing for oily & color-treated hair

Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two is a lemon-scented clarifying shampoo that strips away oil and product buildup to leave hair squeaky clean, shiny, and full of body.

Designed for all hair types but especially effective on oily scalps, this Paul Mitchell formula delivers a thorough cleanse without dulling color. The crisp lemon fragrance refreshes hair while the color-safe formulation prepares strands for styling or deeper conditioning. New packaging uses post-consumer recycled materials to reduce environmental impact.

How does this shampoo remove buildup without over-drying?

The formula targets excess oil, sebum, and styling residues with cleansing agents that rinse away impurities. It’s formulated to lift deposits from the hair shaft and scalp without leaving a waxy finish, so hair feels light rather than stripped. Follow with a conditioner or treatment to restore moisture if your hair is dry.

• Clarifying surfactants that dissolve oils and residues
• Color-safe ingredients that won’t prematurely fade treated hair
• Lemony scent that neutralizes heavier odor from products

When should I use Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two in my routine?

Use this clarifying shampoo as needed when hair feels weighed down by oil, sweat, or styling products—typically once a week or before a salon treatment. It’s an excellent pre-treatment cleanse before applying deep conditioners, masks, or chemical services. For very oily hair, you can use it more frequently until your scalp balances out.

• Weekly clarifying wash for maintenance
• Pre-conditioning step to improve product penetration
• Use before color or chemical services to ensure an even application

Will Shampoo Two work on colored or treated hair?

Yes—this Paul Mitchell clarifying shampoo is formulated to be color-safe, so it removes buildup without unnecessarily stripping color-treated hair. Still, if your hair is chemically processed and fragile, pair with a nourishing conditioner to maintain hydration and manageability after clarifying.

• Safe for most color-treated hair when used as directed
• Great for removing residue from styling products and conditioners
• Recommended to follow with a moisturizing treatment for porous hair

What makes the packaging environmentally friendlier?

Paul Mitchell has updated retail bottles and jars to include post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics, reducing new material use. Caps and pumps may still use virgin plastics in some cases, and local recycling rules differ—check your municipality for specifics. The design aims to lower the brand’s footprint while keeping salon-quality delivery.

• Bottles and jars contain 50% PCR in retail sizes
• Tubes include 25% PCR material where applicable
• Caps and pumps excluded from PCR percentage in some SKUs

Who is this for: Shampooto Two is ideal for anyone whose hair or scalp feels oily, weighed down, or clogged by styling products—especially those who want a lemon-fresh, salon-grade clarifying wash that’s safe on color-treated hair. It’s particularly useful before salon treatments or deep conditioning, and for people who prefer a clean, lightweight finish with added shine.
