As a guy with short to medium hair, I love Paul Mitchel Tea Tree Shaping Cream. Its a matte styling paste that allows you to become a hair architect, molding, shaping and defining your vision into place. Getting it to work takes a little getting used to. First, emulsify a tiny amount in your hands and pat it onto hair to adjust it into the style you want, or run it through your hair to give it that bedhead, messy look. Unlike gels, this allows your hair to remain pliant and moveable. And the scent is fresh and not overpowering. A jar will set you back about $12-$14, but will easily last you three months.
After falling in love with this styling hero, I had a trip down memory lane with Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo. Growing up, Paul Mitchell Systems was the haircare line carried at the nicer, more stylish salons where I lived. And my stylist always washed out my hair with this shampoo. As a teen I was addicted to Awapuhi. It smelled great, and it could be used as a shampoo and body wash.
I went to my beauty supply store and picked up a liter bottle (about $20). I was curious and also nervous to see if I’d love it as much as I did when I was 14. Nervously, I hit the shower water to warm, stripped and stepped inside, where I quickly lathered up my hair…and then everywhere. The tropical aroma filled my shower…I was back in love. Unlike some shampoo/body shower products, this won’t strip skin of its natural water content and rinses clean. The unisex packaging and aroma make it great when it’s a shower – or bubble bath – for two (ore more!).
