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...

PM claims this shampoo contains awapuhi extract, like the old one from the 80s. However, awapuhi is not listed as an ingredient. Why make false claims?
Only shampoo my wife likes + works with her hair.

I have used this myself for several decades and introduced to our wife several years ago. She had only used department store shampoo previously, ~thinking it was all the same. Her hair stylist immediately noticed a difference and asked what products she was using. I have tried switching to no-waste/plastic-free bar shampoos and shampoo powders from Europe but they just do not work with our family's hair well. JPMS Awapuhi shampoo is the best for our family and the refill pouch is a decent effort towards minimal plastic packaging. For kids, however, I recommend the JPMS Baby don't cry shampoo. ~Their hair smells wonderful and stays clean, but no refill pouch option yet.
Perfect for all hair types.

I do not recommend this product. The shampoo and conditioner set leave my product horribly greasy.

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?

- 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.
