Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Daily Shampoo: The super skinny daily shampoo from the house of Paul Mitchell UK is an emollient-rich shampoo suitable for all hair types.
Product Overview
This duo set bundles the 300 ml bottle of the Super Skinny Shampoo and the 300 ml bottle of the Super Skinny Conditioner from Paul Mitchell, designed for smoothing, taming frizz/unruly hair and making styling quicker and easier. The line uses what they call the “Super Skinny® Complex” to smooth and constrict hair fibres so that hair surfaces become smoother, diameter tighter and styling (especially drying) is faster.
The shampoo cleanses with mild surfactants, while the conditioner smooths, softens and provides manageability. When used together, they aim to deliver a sleek, smoother finish and faster blow‑dry/style time.
Key Features & Benefits
Features:
- Exclusive Super Skinny® Complex: penetrates into the hair shaft, smooths and constricts hair fibre.
- Mild surfactant shampoo formula (shampoo) that cleanses without “plumping” the hair shaft.
- Conditioner with good slip (makes combing/detangling easier) and botanical extracts (algae, aloe vera, rosemary, jojoba) for hydration/shine.
- Colour‑safe formula: safe for colour‑treated hair.
- Designed to reduce drying/styling time (thanks to smoother surface + tighter diameter) which helps when using heat or blow‑drying.
Benefits:
- Hair becomes smoother, with less frizz or unruly texture.
- Styling becomes faster and easier due to smoothing and the tightened fibre surface.
- Manageability improves: detangling is easier, hair lies flatter, fewer fly‑aways.
- Better finish for hair that tends to get out of control (coarse, thick, textured) or which you blow‑dry regularly.
- Good for colour‑treated hair because it’s colour‑safe, so less risk of fading via aggressive cleansing.

Why Choose This Product?
Reasons to pick this duo:
- If you are dealing with hair that is difficult to style: frizz, thickness, unruly texture or hair that takes a long time to dry.
- If you blow‑dry or use heat styling often and want hair smoother and easier to work with.
- If you want a “two‑step” system (shampoo + conditioner) that is matched and designed to work together for smoothing and styling.
- If your hair is colour treated and you want a safe, professional‑quality product that also gives smoothing benefits.
- If you like the aesthetic of salon‑brand haircare and are willing to invest for better finish.
Things to consider / when it might not be ideal:
- If your hair is very fine, limp or you prefer volume/texture rather than smoothing, this duo might flatten hair more than you like — because its job is smoothing and diameter tightening.
- If your hair is oily at the roots and you apply heavy conditioner on roots, you might need to be cautious — apply conditioner mostly mid‑lengths and ends.
- As a salon/professional brand, cost might be higher than mass‑market options — check value for your usage/frequency.
- The “faster drying” claim is relative — the actual effect will depend on your hair density, styling method, heat tool, climate (humidity) etc.
