Paul Mitchell clarifying shampoo Shampoo Two 33.8 fl oz — deep-cleansing, lemon-scented for oily & buildup-prone hair

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

Designed by salon professionals, this clarifying formula targets the residue that weighs hair down—like excess oil, styling products, and environmental pollutants—without stripping color-treated strands. Its crisp lemon fragrance refreshes the scalp and hair, making it an excellent cleanser to use before conditioning or chemical services. The packaging incorporates post-consumer recycled materials for a reduced environmental footprint.

How does this shampoo clear away buildup without over-drying?

The formulation concentrates on effectively removing residues so hair feels clean and light, while preserving natural moisture levels when used as directed. It’s intended for periodic deep cleanses rather than daily use for most hair types, which helps avoid unnecessary dryness.

• Clarifying actives lift oil, grime, and product film from strands and scalp.
• Color-safe ingredients allow safe use on color-treated hair.
• Lemon-scent adds a fresh, invigorating wash experience.
• Best followed by a conditioner to restore softness and manageability.

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

Use it whenever your hair feels heavy from oils or styling products, or as a rinse before deep conditioning or chemical services. Many people prefer it once a week or every few washes, depending on scalp oiliness and styling frequency.

• Before a deep conditioning treatment to remove barriers to penetration.
• After heavy product or dry-shampoo buildup to fully reset hair.
• When preparing hair for color, relaxer, or keratin services.
• Use less frequently on dry or chemically fragile hair to avoid over-cleansing.

Will this work for my hair type, including color-treated or oily hair?

Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two is formulated for all hair types but especially suits oily scalps that need stronger cleansing power. The formula is labeled color-safe, so it can be used on tinted hair, though frequent clarifying can reduce vibrancy over time if not balanced with conditioning and color care.

• Recommended for oily or product-heavy hair routines.
• Safe for most color-treated hair when used sparingly.
• Helpful for fine hair that loses body from buildup.
• Avoid daily use on very dry or chemically damaged hair.

How does the packaging support sustainability?

The retail bottles and jars are made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials and the labels and caps are designed to improve recyclability where local systems permit. This is part of Paul Mitchell’s effort to reduce environmental impact without compromising professional performance.

• Bottles and jars use approximately 50% PCR content in retail sizes.
• Tubes contain about 25% PCR; some pumps and caps remain virgin plastic.
• Low-profile labels and caps ease recycling in compatible local programs.
• Check your municipal recycling rules for proper disposal guidance.

Who is this for: This clarifying shampoo is ideal for anyone—salons and consumers alike—seeking a strong, lemon-scented cleanse to remove oil and styling residue. It’s especially useful for people with oily scalps, those who use many styling products, and anyone preparing hair for deep conditioning or salon chemical services. If your hair is dry or fragile, use less frequently and pair with a hydrating conditioner to maintain softness and shine.
