THE BEST SHAMPOO I EVER USED
This is honestly the best shampoo I have ever used. I have used tons of shampoos in the past and none of them worked or they made my hair worse, I have used - Axe, Dove, Heads & Shoulders, and other brands, none of them can even compare to Paul Mitchell Instant Moisture. I have a strict hair routine...

Absolutely provides wonderfully balanced moisture for daily washing... wouldn't consider any other product.
I wouldn't buy this again
I have thick hair. I loved the smelled of this shampoo and it was for moisture so I bought it. This shampoo makes my hair into an absolute rats nest. It's so full of knots after shampooing (and I brush my hair beforehand) that it takes multiple conditioner rounds to untangle the mess!! I will not but this again.

I have been using Paul Mitchell products for decades! I have never been disappointed with any of the products that I have used! I have let my gray hair grow out. Given that it requires more moisture, I have been using Paul Mitchell Moisturizing Shampoo and the Moisturizing Conditioner! I am thrilled with how my hair looks and feels. As always, Paul Mitchell products are absolutely amazing!

Before the name change from Instant Moisture to Sheer Moisture and packaging change this product also claimed to plump the hair strands to create fuller locks as well . Is this no longer the case? I do not see that benefit listed anymore since the formula and packaging change :( the same issue with the Awapuhi Shampo. The old packaging claimed to add body but that is no longer listed.

Did this product replace The Wash and The Rinse? They were the best PM shampoo and conditioner and haven't been able to find anything comparable.
- Asked by SKNY
- Official Answer By Paul Mitchell - Brand EngageInvisiblewear Shampoo and Conditioner are great options to replace The Wash and The Rinse. Invisiblewear is a lightweight category that helps prep your hair texture for styling and builds volume. It does have lightweight moisturizing properties and keeps hair manageable.
