Why we rate it

One of the original Paul Mitchell shampoos, built around awapuhi, the Hawaiian white ginger extract the brand is known for. It cleanses any hair type and lifts dulling build-up while balancing moisture, boosting shine and helping to keep static down. It's colour-safe and suits fine to medium and colour-treated hair especially well. It even doubles as a body wash. The scent is a fresh cucumber melon with soft florals. Follow with Awapuhi Conditioner.

Stylist’s tip

Focus the shampoo on your scalp, where oil and product build up, and let the lather clean the lengths as you rinse. If you’ve used a lot of styling product, two smaller washes usually clean better than one big one.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the original Awapuhi Shampoo and the Awapuhi Wild Ginger line?

This is the original Awapuhi Shampoo from Paul Mitchell's classic line: an everyday shampoo that balances moisture and adds shine. Awapuhi Wild Ginger is a separate collection with more targeted formulas, such as the HydraSoft moisture range and the repair range. If you want the classic everyday shampoo, this is the one.

What sizes of Awapuhi Shampoo can I buy?

75 ml, 300 ml, 500 ml and 1 litre. The 75 ml is handy for travel or a first try, and the Paul Mitchell Litre Bottle Pump fits the litre bottle.

Is Awapuhi Shampoo good for dry or frizzy hair?

It balances moisture and adds shine, and it suits most hair types, especially fine to medium and colour-treated hair. For very dry, coarse or frizzy hair, we'd look at the Awapuhi Wild Ginger HydraSoft range or Tea Tree Lavender Mint instead.
