Why we rate it

If you like to feel your shampoo working, this is the one. Tea tree, mint and lavender give a cool tingle at the roots that carries on through the rinse, and the lather lifts away oil, sweat and styling residue. It's a proper deep clean, so it suits anyone who washes often, trains a lot or wears plenty of product, and hair is left light and fresh rather than coated. Because it cleanses so thoroughly, follow with a conditioner on the lengths. If your hair is very dry or curly, Lavender Mint Moisturizing Shampoo is the gentler, more hydrating choice.

  • Cool, invigorating tingle from tea tree, mint and lavender
  • Lifts oil and product build-up for a fresh, clean-feeling scalp
  • Leaves hair looking full of life and shine
  • Made with Australian tea tree
  • Colour-safe and suits all hair types

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

Is tea tree shampoo good for hair?

It's a good choice if you like a thorough clean. Tea Tree Special lifts oil and styling build-up and leaves the scalp feeling fresh, and Paul Mitchell lists it as colour-safe and suitable for all hair types. Very dry or curly hair usually prefers the gentler Tea Tree Lavender Mint Moisturizing Shampoo.

Does tea tree shampoo strip hair colour?

Paul Mitchell lists Tea Tree Special Shampoo as colour-safe. It is a deep-cleansing formula, though, so if your colour is freshly done or a vivid shade we'd point you to Tea Tree Special Color Shampoo, the version made for colour-treated hair.

What sizes does Tea Tree Special Shampoo come in?

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

Why does Tea Tree Shampoo tingle?

The cool tingle comes from the tea tree, mint and menthol in the formula. Massage it into the scalp with your fingertips for about a minute, then rinse thoroughly so no residue is left to dull the shine.
