Paul Mitchell for Men: The Complete MITCH Grooming Guide

Finding the right hair products as a bloke can be surprisingly tricky. Most supermarket options either leave your hair looking greasy or feeling like straw. That's where MITCH by Paul Mitchell comes in — a dedicated men's grooming range designed by professionals who understand that men's hair has different needs.

At The Color in Bridlington, we've been styling men's hair with MITCH products for years, and our male clients consistently tell us it's the best range they've ever used. Here's your complete guide to finding the right MITCH products for your style.

Why MITCH?

MITCH was created specifically for men's hair, which tends to be thicker, oilier and more prone to product buildup than women's. Every product in the range is designed to be easy to use, effective and long-lasting — no complicated routines, just products that work.

MITCH Styling Products: Find Your Hold

Clean Cut – Medium Hold, Semi-Matte Finish

The everyday essential. Clean Cut gives you a natural, polished look without any stiffness or shine. Perfect for the office, a night out, or just looking put together. Works brilliantly on short to medium hair.

Construction Paste – Maximum Hold, Elastic Texture

Need serious hold with a textured, messy finish? Construction Paste is your weapon. Ideal for creating that lived-in, effortlessly styled look. Great for thick or unruly hair that needs taming.

Hardwired – Maximum Hold, Spiking Glue

For styles that need to stay put all day. Hardwired is a maximum-hold spiking glue that creates dramatic, defined styles. Perfect for short hair, spikes, or any style that needs serious staying power.

Reformer – Strong Hold, Matte Finish

The modern classic. Reformer gives you strong hold with a completely matte finish — no shine, no grease, just clean texture. Brilliant for pompadours, side parts, and any style where you want hold without looking like you've used product.

Steady Grip – Firm Hold, Natural Shine

A firm-hold gel with a natural, healthy shine. Steady Grip keeps your style locked in whilst looking natural. Ideal for slicked-back looks, defined waves or any style where a bit of shine works.

Barber's Classic – Light Hold, High Shine

Old-school class. Barber's Classic is a traditional pomade that gives you a polished, classic look with high shine. Think Mad Men-era sophistication. Perfect for side parts and slicked styles.

MITCH Hair Care

Heavy Hitter – Daily Cleansing Shampoo

A proper deep-clean shampoo that removes product buildup, oil and sweat without drying your hair out. Heavy Hitter is the foundation of any good grooming routine. Use it daily or every other day.

Double Hitter – 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner

For blokes who want efficiency. Double Hitter cleans and conditions in one step — no separate conditioner needed. Perfect for the gym bag or anyone who prefers a simpler routine.

  • Short, textured hair: Construction Paste or Reformer
  • Classic, smart style: Barber's Classic or Steady Grip
  • Everyday natural look: Clean Cut

  • Quick daily wash: Double Hitter

Pro Styling Tips from Our Barbers

  1. Start with less — You can always add more product, but you can't take it away. Start with a small amount and build up.
  2. Apply to towel-dried hair — Most MITCH styling products work best on damp, not wet or completely dry hair.
  3. Warm it up — Rub the product between your palms first to warm it up and distribute evenly.
  4. Work from back to front — Start at the crown and work forward for the most natural-looking distribution.
