Paul Mitchell Super Smooth Shampoo 33.8 fl oz — Sulfate-Free Frizz Control with Squalane

Paul Mitchell Super Smooth Shampoo is a daily sulfate-free cleanser that smooths and softens frizzy hair using plant-derived squalane.

Designed for hair that resists styling, this full-size 33.8 fl. oz bottle delivers a gentle yet effective clean without SLS, SLES or ALS. The formula targets surface roughness to improve manageability while leaving a fresh, fruity fragrance featuring apple, dewberry, white peach and wild strawberry. The packaging uses post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials where possible as part of Paul Mitchell’s sustainability updates.

How does this shampoo reduce frizz without sulfates?

The formula avoids harsh lathering surfactants and instead relies on mild cleansers combined with plant-derived squalane to smooth hair cuticles. Squalane helps condition strands so they align more closely, lowering the chance of flyaways and surface texture that reads as frizz. Regular use with the matching conditioner yields best results.

• Free of SLS, SLES and ALS surfactants to minimize stripping
• Includes plant-derived squalane to soften and help align hair fibers
• Designed for daily use on frizzy, hard-to-manage hair

Will it work on chemically treated or color-treated hair?

Paul Mitchell Super Smooth Shampoo is formulated to be gentle enough for frequent use and is commonly compatible with color- and chemically treated hair. It focuses on smoothing and manageability without aggressive detergents that can fade color faster. For colored hair, pair with a color-protecting conditioner or treatment when needed.

• Mild cleansing suitable for many treated hair types
• Smoothing agents that don’t aggressively strip pigments
• Recommended to combine with complementary conditioners for best care

How should I use it for best results?

Apply to wet hair, lather gently at the scalp, then rinse thoroughly before repeating if desired. Follow with a smoothing conditioner to seal the cuticle and enhance softness. For persistent frizz, use consistently and add styling products designed for smoothing and humidity control.

• Use on wet hair, massage into scalp, rinse fully
• Follow with Super Smooth Conditioner to maximize smoothing
• Use daily or as needed for manageable, softer hair

What should I expect from the scent and packaging?

The shampoo has a lush, fruity aroma that blends apple, dewberry, white peach and wild strawberry notes for a fresh, salon-style fragrance. Bottles are updated with post-consumer recycled content and simplified caps and labels to support easier recycling where local systems allow. Pumps and some caps remain virgin materials, and PCR content varies by format.

• Lush fruity scent with layered fruit notes
• Retail bottles use 50% PCR material; tubes use 25% PCR
• Caps and pumps may differ; check local recycling rules
