Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo

I recently asked my new hairstylist what kind of shampoo she thought I should use. I explained that I had tried Kerastese Bain Chroma Riche Shampoo and Conditioner and my scalp wasn't too happy about it. It was too moisturizing and just kind of clogged things up, plus it smelled rosy, like old ladies. She suggested Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special shampoo. She said it is gentle, but deep cleaning.

I skipped out to my car, excited for new product and promptly dropped it on the sidewalk. (No, no, I don't need a bag.) Thankfully, the container didn't break, so it has some sturdy packaging.

But how does the shampoo work? Well, it has a minty smell, which I like. (It's like putting Junior Mints on my head and you know how I feel about Junior Mints. I'll try to hold myself back from eating this shampoo!) I don't detect a lot of tea tree smell and I'm glad, because tea tree isn't my bag. (It has that sharp scent that is kind of medicinal. Ick.) The shampoo feels tingly and refreshing and lathers up a lot.

Since I've started using the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo, my scalp has calmed back down and my hair seems more moisturized, but is still springy and not weighed down with crappy buildup.

The icing on the cake is that a bottle of Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo only costs about $10. After buying the Kerastese (What, is it made with crushed diamonds or the placenta of pandas or something?), $10 seems practically free. I would buy it again fo' sho.
