Why we rate it
Essential Shampoo and Conditioner are part of Paul Mitchell's Clear collection, made for people with sensitive skin and scalps. The shampoo has just eight ingredients and the conditioner nine, and both are fragrance-free and dye-free. The shampoo gives a rich, clean-feeling lather and is sulphate-free; the conditioner leaves hair light, soft and manageable and helps control frizz, and may lather slightly as you work it in, which is normal. Both are colour-safe and suit every hair type, and they're a sensible choice for anyone who prefers products without fragrance.

- Fragrance-free and dye-free shampoo and conditioner
- Minimal formulas: eight and nine ingredients
- Made for sensitive skin and scalps
- Both colour-safe and gentle on every hair type
What’s in the set
Stylist’s tip
Use them as a pair: shampoo focused on the scalp, then conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends, where hair needs it most. Squeeze out the excess water before conditioning so it isn’t diluted.
