Review of Paul Mitchell Super Skinny® Line
Without prior knowledge of Paul Mitchell or any of their line of products, I decided to test their newest line of smoothing products, Super Skinny®. I have relaxed hair that is a mixture of both straight and wavy. Here are the products that I purchased along with their proclaimed attributes:
Super Skinny® Daily Shampoo
- Smoothes and softens unruly hair, while reducing drying and styling time.
Super Skinny® Daily Treatment
- Smoothes and Softens Unruly Hair
- Heat Activated Conditioners and Thermal Protectants help repair surface damage and prevent cuticle cracking.
- Reduces Drying and Styling Time
Super Skinny® Serum
- Smoothes and Softens
- Lightweight silicones smooth, condition and seal hair with added shine
- Reduces Dry Time
To begin, I applied the shampoo to my hair and rinsed immediately. I didn’t need to repeat this step as I did not have much product bulild up in my hair. One of the benefits that I found using this product is that the shampoo lathers well. Usually, I would have to use an ample amount of product to get my desired lather, however, only a small amount of this product is necessary. The smell is fantastic! Its refreshing scent is also an added bonus. I noticed that after the first shampoo, my hair felt clean, not stripped and had a healthy shine to it prior to applying the conditioner.
Next I followed up with the Super Skinny® Daily Treatment. Similar to the shampoo, the conditioner had a refreshing scent and a nice consistency. I applied a generous amount to my towel-dried hair and let it penetrate for about 5-10 minutes. Afterwards, I rinsed with cool water and towel-dried my hair once again. Immediately, I could see the difference! My hair looked and felt healthier! It was smooth, and soft with a ridiculous amount of shine! I was so excited! Finally, I applied the Super Skinny® Serum to my hair and combed through with a wide-toothed shower comb. Because I wanted to see if these products actually reduced the drying time, I blew-out my hair following this step. Usually, I allow my hair to air dry for a while or sit under the hair dryer. The normal dry time is about 15-20 minutes using a standard hand-held dryer because of the thickness of my hair. With this product, it only took about 5-10 minutes! The final result, smooth, silky and soft hair! Although, I loved the results, I would not use it on a regular basis, as I prefer my hair to have more body. This is an excellent product for you ladies, or gentlemen who want bone-straight, shiny locs! Where to find this product: You can purchase this product online or at your local Paul Mitchell Beauty Salons. · Tip: Professional products can be a bit pricey, so I recommend heading down to your local Sally’s Beauty Supply Store and picking up the Generic version. It works just like the name brand! Different packaging, same ingredients! Shh… it’s a secret!
