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.

My hair looks and feels better and styles easier after using this shampoo!

My go-to shampoo!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
This has actually replaced my Korean brand shampoo bar that I still love ✨BUT✨ this shampoo is amazing and gives my hair so much natural volume. (No gross fillers that weigh your hair down) it always feels clean yet hydrated and not stripped which is important.
I Always Use This Product!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Use it not only for my hair but also as body wash. Keeps hair shiny clean and soft. Used with color enhanced hair and now with gray hair.

This shampoo is the best I've used in my entire life, my hair is not greasy the next day and it does not weigh down my curls it smells amazing I use it with the detangler conditioner. It is the perfect combo!
My son and husband love this shampoo
Hair Type Wavy Hair
Smells great, not overpowering or perfumey. My son & husband who have coarse, wavy hair swear by this, so it's always in our shower. Please never change this formula!! I miss the look of the old bottles, but whatever.

- 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 EngageAwapuhi 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

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.
