Awapuhi Wild Ginger Nourishing Shampoo for Dry, Damaged & Color-Treated Hair — Ultra Rich 2.5 fl oz, Sulfate-Free with KeraTriplex

Awapuhi Wild Ginger by Paul Mitchell is an ultra-rich, color-safe shampoo that gently cleanses while restoring moisture and reinforcing strands for dry, damaged, and color-treated hair.

This sulfate-free formula (free of SLS, SLES, ALS) is crafted to remove dirt and buildup without stripping color or natural oils. Enriched with Awapuhi extract sourced from Paul Mitchell’s Hawaiian farm, the shampoo helps rebalance moisture for improved manageability and luminous shine. KeraTriplex, a keratin protein complex, works to refill weakened areas of the hair fiber so hair looks healthier and more resilient after regular use. The ginger tea fragrance leaves a fresh, calming scent on the hair, and packaging is consciously made from at least 25% post-consumer recycled material, so each bottle may vary slightly.

How will this shampoo improve dry, chemically treated hair?

Formulated for hair that has lost moisture or been chemically processed, the shampoo cleans without harsh sulfates and delivers proteins and botanical extracts that support elasticity and shine. It helps reduce the appearance of brittleness and tangles, leaving hair easier to style.

• Keratin-based KeraTriplex replenishes protein along the hair shaft.
• Awapuhi extract restores moisture balance for smoother texture.
• Sulfate-free cleansing preserves color and natural oils.

Is this safe for color-treated or highlighted hair?

Yes — the formula is designed to protect hair color while still providing a thorough, gentle clean. Avoiding SLS, SLES, and ALS means less fading and longer-lasting vibrancy when used as part of a color-care routine.

• Color-safe ingredients minimize dye stripping during washing.
• Gentle surfactants lift dirt without aggressive fading.
• Paraben-free formulation supports cleaner ingredient preferences.

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Apply to wet hair, lather, and rinse; repeat if hair is particularly dirty or product-laden. For maximum benefit, follow with a matching conditioner or a deep treatment targeted to dry and damaged hair.

• Use a dime-to-quarter sized amount, depending on hair length and thickness.
• Massage into scalp and mid-lengths to ends for even coverage.
• Pair with Awapuhi Wild Ginger conditioner or mask for added repair.

What sensory experience and sustainability features can I expect?

The shampoo has a ginger tea fragrance for a warm, invigorating scent profile and a rich lather that rinses clean. Bottles include post-consumer recycled content, so each container may show slight color variation — a small trade-off for reduced plastic waste.

• Ginger tea aroma provides a fresh, soothing finish after rinse.
• Rich, creamy lather cleans effectively without aggressive detergents.
• Packaging contains at least 25% PCR plastics; exclusions apply.

Who is this for? This shampoo is aimed at people with dry, weakened, or color-treated hair who want a salon-grade, sulfate-free cleanser that supports moisture balance and protein repair. It suits daily use for those seeking gentler maintenance, and for anyone prioritizing color longevity, improved manageability, and a sophisticated ginger-tea scent in their haircare routine.
