Paul Mitchell Neuro Lather HeatCTRL Shampoo

Most Helpful Critical Review

Not for my Hair

I really hate to leave a bad review but in this case, I just have to. This shampoo lathers really well which is a plus, I really did not notice a scent at all even though others have said how much they love it. When I rinsed this shampoo out, my hair felt similar to having just been washed with a ...clarifying shampoo (which I use by Paul Mitchell once a month). What I mean by this is that my hair felt almost stripped, not soft or smooth. I understand this product is supposed to rid your hair of product buildup so I expected as much. Now, the conditioner......I felt like I had to use a ton of it because it did not slide through my hair like a normal conditioner would. I always twist my hair up in a clip so my conditioner can spend a little extra time on my hair while I shower. when I rinsed this out, my hair felt so rough almost to the point like I had stripped everything off of the hair. I was still optimistic that once I blow dried and straightened my hair it would feel magical like the other reviews claimed.........DID NOT HAPPEN! It took me twice as long as normal to straighten my hair, it was like my hair was defying the flat iron and I had to keep going over and over the same spot trying to get it smooth. My ends felt dry and my roots looked stringy BUT the worst part of all is that my hair was FULL of static!!! The humidity level today was super high but yet my hair was acting as though it was the dead of winter. FAIL!! This shampoo and conditioner is being returned and I had to re-wash my hair today to get it back to normal. Maybe this product works for most hair but it certainly is not for me. As as side note, I faithfully use Paul Mitchell Scalp Care Anti Thinning shampoo and conditioner, Goldwell Thermal Spray and a Paul Mitchell Smooth+ Flat Iron (and a Dyson hair dryer). My hair is color treated, mid length, wavy and coarse.
