Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo Review

Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Special Shampoo works very well with my hair.  The tea tree oil leaves a tingling feeling behind as you apply and rinse it away.

I don't know anything about volume or luster, so I can't speak on that. But my hair feels nice, it's clean, and it's manageable after using the Tea Tree Special. Those are my criteria for using a shampoo.  Unfortunately, not all shampoos do that.  Some leave my hair feeling dry--while I'm still in the shower.  Others mat my hair down actually making it less manageable.  I haven't found any shampoos that don't clean, though.

Tea Tree Special is color safe, and while it doesn't apply to me, I can appreciate not rinsing out highlights or coloring for which you just paid good money.  I don't use the shampoo often, because I usually keep my hair very short.  But I've been growing it out for a play, so it's been nice having the Tea Tree Special Shampoo available.  My wife and daughter (17) use it much more frequently and enjoy it, too.

Use the Tea Tree Special Conditioner, Too

The Tea Tree Special Conditioner is recommended for use with the Tea Tree Shampoo.  Of course it is.  It's in the same line of products.  Normally I don't buy into that type of marketing.  The right conditioner works with the right shampoo, same name or not.  But in this case, the two (Tea Tree Special Shampoo & Conditioner) make a great pair.  The Tea Tree shampoo softener and refreshed my hair to a point where i didn't think it'd be any softer.  Once I applied the Tea Tree Conditioner, I didn't want to stop massaging it into my hair.

The bigger surprise for me was after getting out of the shower and drying my hair.  It was still soft.  Obviously drier, but still soft.  I moisturized it with my Motions Oil Moisturizer and actually enjoyed having hair for a change.
