I've tried it all...

I've tried almost every shampoo imaginable. From the cheapest to the most expensive... I don't know how I could have overlooked it. I remember using this shampoo as a teenager but I happened to try it again as a sample in a hotel!!! I was hooked and kept the bottle as I went in search of the sha...

New formula smells awful!

I've been using this product for years but they recently changed the formula and it smells awful! I compared my old bottle to the new one just to confirm and the ingredients have changed. Never going to use this product again. It's unfortunate as it's been a favorite and works well but it's not wort...

Did the scent change?

Did they change the scent of this shampoo? Granted it has been a few years since I bought this shampoo but I remember it smelling like bubblegum but in the best way. I'm super disappointed that the bottle I bought yesterday does not smell the same as my old one.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Too many changes

I had purchased this product for so many years, then this "new" formula came out. I can't believe how many different ingredients there are. I even had to switch products due to a allergy to this shampoo.

I have wavy/ curly hair, I wanted to try something new and I've always heard this was a good brand. Ive been using it for 3 weeks now and its not badd..but It does dry out your hair. Even when its wet It feels dry. Im using the conditioner that goes with It, doesnt help. I wouldn't buy this again. I tried, im still going to use the bottle becasue I paid for It.

By far MY FAVORITE shampoo/conditioner

From New Orleans, La

I am a blonde that regularly gets bleach/lifts in my hair for upkeep. I had to change hairdressers as mine that i used for multiple years moved out of state. Well, needless to say, this new one left my hair feeling and looking like straw. I have take a break from bleaching my hair and it seemed like it was never healing, always breaking… i lost my waist length hair due to trying to salvage the damage. THIS SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER HAS MADE A TON OF DIFFERENCE! I just began using it within the last 3 weeks and OMG!!! I am IN LOVE WITH THIS STUFF! Please dont ever discontinue this product! You have a forever buyer here!!!

Q
what color is this shampoo
Asked by Nancy
Official Answer By Paul Mitchell - Brand Engage
Awapuhi Shampoo (Original) is typically a clear to very light amber/golden color. Because it contains awapuhi extract and naturally derived ingredients, slight variations in shade can occur from batch to batch without affecting performance.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
How can this product be used for color treated hair if it contains sulfates? I color my hair with a semi permanent product - will this shampoo be safe to use or will it strip the color?
Asked by Confused about sulfates
Official Answer By Paul Mitchell - Brand Engage
With certain formulas, sulfates can still be gentle on color-treated hair. Color-safe shampoos are specially formulated with ingredients to help keep your color vibrant while cleansing effectively.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Can this shampoo and matching conditioner be used on keratin treated hair?
Asked by Felicia
Official Answer By Paul Mitchell - Brand Engage
Awapuhi Shampoo contains sulfates and is not recommended for hair treated with a keratin smoothing treatment. Awapuhi Conditioner is sulfate-free and suitable for use on keratin-treated hairWas this answer helpful to you
Q
I have used the Extra Body Shampoo for 30 years. It is good for fine straight hair. Now that my hair seems more dry, I still use it, but less often, alternating with other shampoos or skipping days. My question is: is the Awapuhi shampoo just as good for fine straight hair that will be limp and look oily (even if it's not) with many moisturizing shampoos? Or will it not have the extra-body effect, or make medium-light fine straight hair look flat?
Asked by Occam
Official Answer By Paul Mitchell - Brand Engage
Awapuhi Shampoo is a naturally moisturizing formula that adds some volume, while Extra-Body Shampoo primarily focuses on providing volume and body.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
What happened to all of the natural ingredients? I no longer see rosemary, white ginger, jojoba, aloe. I thought I saw that the formula didn't change but it must have because I compared my old bottle to this one.
