Paul Mitchell dandruff shampoo with 1% zinc pyrithione — Color Safe, Daily Use, Soothing Bergamot Tea Scent

Paul Mitchell Dandruff Shampoo uses 1% zinc pyrithione to target dandruff, soothe the scalp, and leave hair clean, conditioned, and lightly scented with bergamot tea.

Designed for professional results at home, this salon-quality shampoo helps reduce visible flakes, ease itching and irritation, and supports a balanced scalp without stripping color or natural moisture. The formula produces a rich lather and rinses clean, making it suitable for daily use on all hair types that are prone to dandruff.

How does this shampoo address dandruff and flakes?

The active ingredient, zinc pyrithione (1%), works against the factors commonly associated with dandruff to help reduce flaking and visible residue on the scalp. Regular use can help control recurrence while the conditioning base prevents over-drying so hair remains manageable.

• Contains 1% zinc pyrithione to target scalp flaking.
• Formulated to reduce itching and visible flakes.
• Gentle enough for routine, repeat use without harsh stripping.

Is this shampoo safe for color-treated and all hair types?

Yes — the Paul Mitchell formula is color-safe and suitable for a wide range of textures and hair concerns. It clarifies the scalp and removes buildup while retaining color integrity and leaving hair soft to the touch.

• Color-safe formulation preserves salon color vibrancy.
• Balanced conditioning prevents dryness on fine or porous hair.
• Effective for curly, straight, wavy, and chemically treated hair.

How often should I use it and what results can I expect?

The shampoo is gentle enough for daily use; many people use it as their regular cleanser until flaking is controlled, then as needed. Expect reduced visible flakes, a calmer scalp, and refreshed hair texture after several washes, with ongoing maintenance preventing recurrence.

• Gentle daily use is appropriate for persistent dandruff-prone scalps.
• Noticeable reduction in flakes and itch with consistent application.
• Works well as part of a maintenance routine post-improvement.

What does it smell like and how does it feel during use?

The shampoo has a fresh, sophisticated bergamot tea fragrance that offers a clean, slightly citrus-amber aroma without overpowering. It produces a creamy, rich lather that rinses easily and leaves hair feeling conditioned and lightweight rather than brittle.

• Bergamot tea scent: clean, subtle, salon-quality.
• Rich lather for a luxurious washing experience.
• Leaves hair soft and scalp soothed after rinsing.
