Great product for curly hair or if you struggle with build up
The reason why I put for curly hair is because you usually have to put a lot of products (leave in, curling crème, gel, oil) to maintain curly hair and sometimes you have to refresh once or multiple times with more products before wash day which cause an extreme amount of build up. Build up for curly hair is terrible because it extends drying time, weights your curls down, makes your hair brittle and worst of all causes curls to lose form. My hair was becoming difficult to maintain and my curls had lost their shape so I tried another brand of clarifying shampoo which did wonders for my scalp but left my ends extremely dry so I forced to use copious amount of product to soften my ends which is redundant to my objective. I had used Paul Mitchell detangler before and loved it so why I saw this shampoo pop up I decided to purchase it. It was the best decision I have made. It lathered on good, I was expecting for it to dry my hair a little but my hair was soft and shiny when I finished. I have very thick curly 4b hair and honestly could have brushed my hair without a conditioner if I wanted to(it usually takes me 30 min after conditioning sometimes). My hair was very clean and weightless. My curls were back to their natural form and my drying time was a lot shorter since the build up with washed out. I’m in love with this product and I honestly think I found the shampoo I’m gonna use till the day I die. I’ve never felt more strongly about a shampoo before. I don’t remember if Paul Mitchell products are sealed but this item I received wasn’t sealed and there was some spill but thankful the product it’s self was packaged in a plastic bag which contained the spill so that I was abel to use what had been collected in the plastic bag. I thought about exchanging it but decided against it since the product is pretty much full.

Great Product.
This is my 2nd purchase of Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two, Clarifying Shampoo. Product arrived in sealed wrap, authentic product. Excellent. Always skeptical of purchasing Salon products online. Both of my purchases have been authentic products and salon quality. Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two, Clarifying Shampoo Deeply cleanses and removes dulling buildup. Leaves hair squeaky clean, shiny and full of body. Crisp, energizing lemon scent. Smells nice, but, not overwhelming or offensive. I do not have oily hair . It’s long and normal-dry. Thus, I can go several days between shampooing. But, I need a good cleansing and scalp shampoo. I’ve been looking for a shampoo that was as good as the discontinued Neutrogena Clean shampoo. I am convinced that it doesn’t exist and have moved on from Neutrogena products. I’ve purchased MANY different shampoo products that claim to be clarifying or scalp cleansing. They claim to contain vinegar, rosemary,tea tree or numerous other ingredients that merit price point. None of these various products are cheap ranging from $8 - $20. Wasted money. Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two, Clarifying Shampoo is the best that I’ve tried. My hair and scalp are clean. It doesn’t strip or dull my hair. I’m staying with this shampoo. Could have purchased a year’s supply of Paul Mitchell quality shampoo with $ I’ve wasted on trying so many other brands!

Good clarifying shampoo for hair that is prone to buildup!
This shampoo does have a cleansing power! I have fine hair, but a lot of it, and because of the amount of hair I have it can easily get greasy looking from all the “build up” of even $70 shampoo. We even have a water softener, but the build up still occurs all the time. I believe that the moisture level is perfect because it does hydrate the hair and scalp but doesn’t make it too dry or too “greasy looking”. The color is clear and transparent so you know that it is a clarifying shampoo. The bottle is very sturdy and easily stands up in a built in “niche” in the shower wall or in a self adhesive metal shower caddy. One thing to remember is seeing that it is a clarifying shampoo it doesn’t have a “fluffy lather”, therefore do not keep adding more shampoo to your hair. As long as you rub your hair and scalp with your fingers and you see suds throughout then you have enough! Definitely worth the money. The reason for 4/5 stars is because the scent is very light to the point where it really doesn’t have a scent at all. I would prefer to have some type of scent. Would recommend.

Effective clarification of hair
I opted for this based upon another review from a Black woman with locs who said in her review this clarifying shampoo got her locs right. Considering my hair is a similar texture I thought this would be a reasonable purchase. It is a reasonable purchase and it does work as intended, it's personally not as effective as I'd like for my hair. I have high density, low porosity 4b hair. I cycle between every 7 to 14 days between washes. Because of the length of time between washes, I find that this shampoo I needed to do more washes with. Ultimately I had to do 4 washes to completely remove all the sebum from my scalp. Typically I need no more than two maybe 3 to achieve the same result. This is with Giovanni Triple Threat Tea Tree shampoo which is also a clarifying one. My family, textures 3b to 4c, none of whole has low porosity hair, this worked well for. They too have high density curls that is high volume. This shampoo cut everything in 1 to 2 washes. While I want to say I'd keep this in rotation, the ingredient list is more chemical than natural. It does give quality results but with a more synthetic ingredient list. Gio's products is more natural and also delivers results. Because this is a clarifying shampoo it will leave your hair dry and stripped. Follow up with your favorite moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. It does work, it is on the thinner side so you have to be careful to not waste product. For what this cost, over use is not recommended. Would I repurchase? Maybe, it is available to me locally. Gio's is sadly not. I'd more than likely grab this when I'm not able to get Gio's products to me in time. It's a good buy just for my low porosity hair it's not as effective as I'd like leading to far more washes than I want to do.

This product really works
I experienced significant follicular buildup, alongside seborrheic dermatitis and Pityriasis amiantacea, which fortunately remained confined to the scalp. I incorporate this product into my weekly routine, utilizing a scalp scrubber and allowing it to remain for approximately 7-10 minutes. I can confirm that this product has effectively softened the hardened Pityriasis amiantacea on my scalp and substantially alleviated the seborrheic dermatitis. I highly recommend this product.

Smells nice, doesn't foam
I switched over from using shampoos on the better end of drugstore brands. It's certainly not foamy as the other clarifying shampoos I've used. I wind up using a lot more product than expected, because it's not easy to spread around. However, I also notice that there's less hair in the drain after washing with this shampoo compared to others. I'm not sure if that's due to the quality of shampoo, or because the texture of it being harder to spread around, means I've changed my scrubbing technique to accommodate it. I used to go 2-3 days between hair washes and with this shampoo, that's increased by a day, to 3-4. (Four days between washes being in cooler weather, not a heavy gym week, haven't used styling product, etc.). I typically use this first, then do my second wash with Shampoo One from the same brand. The lemon-lime scent is as expected, not too strong. The scent doesn't last after rinsing so it won't clash with the conditioner scent of your choice.

Deep Cleansing But Not a "Cure" for Oil: A Reliable Daily Reset
Paul Mitchell Shampoo Two is a classic clarifying formula designed to strip away the dulling buildup that regular shampoos leave behind. For those with oily hair, it’s a go-to for that "squeaky clean" feeling, but it might not be the "once-a-week" miracle some hope for. Why it’s a solid, if not life-changing, performer: - Performs Okay for Oily Scalps: It does exactly what it says—it deep cleanses. It effectively removes excess sebum and styling products without leaving its own residue. However, even with this professional-grade formula, you may find you still have to wash your hair daily to prevent that heavy oil buildup from returning. - Refreshing Lemon Scent: One of the highlights is the bright, citrusy aroma. It makes the shower experience feel very fresh and "clinical" in a good way, reinforcing that feeling of a total scalp reset. - Adds Volume and Shine: By removing the weight of oils and minerals, it leaves hair feeling significantly lighter. This extra "lift" at the roots is great for those whose oily scalp usually makes their hair look flat by midday. - Color-Safe Clarifying: Unlike many harsh clarifying shampoos that can strip color, Shampoo Two is formulated to be color-safe, making it a safer choice for daily use if you have treated hair but a stubborn oily scalp.

Shampoo Two by Paul Mitchell is a great clarifying shampoo.
I actually was told by a salon professional to use this shampoo first to clear other product from my hair (hairspray, dry shampoo, etc.). It works great, and my hair feels very clean. Great lather.

They've watered it down in the last several years and it's not quite the same... 🤷🏼♀️🤨
I like this product, but since they've changed and recently in the past several years I've noticed it's much thinner in the bottle? 🤔😡 I have more of it, so I'm not impressed with that and I'm starting to look around now for another product that's not going to be pulling that kind of crap on me, like I'm just stupid! 🧐🤨😡

Amazinggggg
Here’s a fun, happy version: As a super oily-scalp girl, I’ve probably spent enough on clarifying shampoos to fund a small vacation. 😅 I’ve tried everything—from drugstore finds to ridiculously expensive salon brands—hoping for just 24 hours of oil-free hair. No luck. Then I found THIS shampoo. And wow… where have you been all my life?! 🤯✨ It’s been over 48 hours since wash day, and my hair still looks fresh. Not greasy. Not flat. And somehow it didn’t leave my hair feeling like straw either! Honestly, at this point I was fully prepared to accept desert-dry hair if it meant escaping the oil slick. Instead, this shampoo said, “Why not both?” 💁🏻♀️ Safe to say, we’re in a serious relationship now. ❤️ 😂 From one oily-scalp survivor to another: finding a shampoo that actually works feels like winning the lottery.

Inconvenient Bottle Cap
Shampoo works well to deep clean oily hair. But the bottle's cap is poorly designed as I cannot flip it open to dispense the shampoo. I have to take the whole cap off which is inconvenient so I took off 1 star in my rating. I would expect Paul Mitchell to design a better cap.

Fewer washes necessary
I have fine hair and not a lot of it. Prior to using this product, by the end of the second day after washing it, it would look greasy and I would need to wash it again. Now I can go three or more days between washes. I will not use it every time I wash my hair- but I’m tempted to.
