Why we rate it

A shampoo with just eight ingredients and no fragrance or dyes, made for people with sensitive skin and scalps, and gentle enough for the whole family. It's sulphate-free and colour-safe, with a rich, clean-feeling lather, and it's mild enough for daily use. Apply to wet hair, massage into the scalp, then lather and rinse thoroughly. Follow with Essential Conditioner. It's part of Paul Mitchell's Clear collection.

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.
