Paul Mitchell MITCH Heavy Hitter 250 ml

When a client’s hair sits flat, feels coated and shrugs off every styling product, our first question isn’t about the product — it’s when the scalp last had a genuinely deep clean.

MITCH Heavy Hitter is the reset button of Paul Mitchell’s men’s range: a deep-cleansing shampoo that clears out what an everyday wash leaves behind. Styling product layered on day after day, mineral residue from hard water, gym sweat and surplus oil all build into a film that makes hair heavy and lifeless — this formula strips all of it back to a clean baseline. It isn’t meant for daily duty; think of it as the once- or twice-weekly deep clean that keeps your regular routine working. Tea tree oil refreshes and clarifies, lemongrass cuts through grease and product, eucalyptus signs off with a cooling menthol finish, and caffeine gives the scalp a stimulating boost while you scrub.

• Deep-cleans away styling build-up, hard-water residue, sweat and excess oil
• Tea tree oil clarifies and refreshes the scalp
• Lemongrass powers through grease that daily shampoos miss
• Eucalyptus leaves an invigorating, menthol-cool feel
• Caffeine delivers a stimulating scalp wake-up
• Vegan formula from the professional MITCH line

Use it well: soak hair completely, lather a coin-sized amount between your palms, then spend a good ninety seconds massaging it into the scalp — the slower scrub is where this shampoo earns its name. Rinse thoroughly and keep it to once or twice a week, running a gentler daily wash such as MITCH Double Hitter in between. A pro tip from our chairs: use it the night before a fresh cut, so your stylist works with truly clean hair. Available in 250 ml and 1000 ml.

Order from The Color in Bridlington — an authorised Paul Mitchell Signature Salon since 2006 — for the genuine professional formula.
