Paul Mitchell The Detangler Conditioner for Medium to Coarse Color-Treated Hair, 16.9 oz — Hydrating, Tangle-Reducing

Paul Mitchell The Detangler is a rich conditioning formula that instantly smooths, hydrates and eases combing for medium to coarse, color-treated hair.

This luxurious conditioner blends grapeseed oil and carrot extract to help restore moisture, reduce tangles and boost shine without weighing hair down. Created by Paul Mitchell for salon-quality results at home, the formula supports color vibrancy while improving manageability. The subtle floral scent—notes of jasmine, rose and violet with sandalwood and fir needle—adds a refined finish after every use.

How quickly will it detangle and how should I use it?

Apply after shampooing to damp hair and leave on for 1–3 minutes for best slip and detangling benefits. The creamy, super-rich texture coats strands so combing through knots is easier, reducing breakage from brushing wet hair.

• Use a quarter-sized amount for short hair, more for longer or coarser textures.
• Distribute from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the roots if you prefer lighter volume.
• Leave in briefly for quick detangling or let sit longer for deeper conditioning.

Will this conditioner protect my color-treated hair?

The Detangler is formulated with moisturizers and conditioning agents that help smooth the cuticle and lock in shine, which can improve how color looks between salon visits. It doesn't claim to prevent fading but supports healthy-looking, glossy color by minimizing dryness and frizz.

• Hydrates strands to reduce the dulling effects of dryness.
• Helps smooth the hair surface for enhanced light reflection and shine.
• Safe for regular use on color-treated hair when used as directed.

Is this suitable for my medium to coarse hair texture?

Yes—the richer viscosity and targeted ingredients are tailored to thicker, coarser strands that need heavier moisture and slip to detangle. The formula adds manageability without making hair limp when applied correctly.

• Designed to replenish moisture for textures that resist smoothness.
• Provides slip for easier combing and styling of tough tangles.
• Balances conditioning so hair retains body while gaining softness.

How does Paul Mitchell address sustainability in this product?

Paul Mitchell has updated retail packaging to include post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials and simplified caps and labels to improve recyclability. Specific PCR content varies by container type; check local recycling guidelines for proper disposal.

• Bottles and jars contain 50% PCR material for retail sizes.
• Tubes use 25% PCR; pumps and some caps use virgin plastics and are excluded.
• Labels and low-profile caps are redesigned to support recycling streams.

Who is this for: Paul Mitchell The Detangler is ideal if you have medium to coarse hair that tangles easily, if your color needs a visibly shinier, more manageable finish, or if you want a richer conditioner for weekly or regular use. Professional-strength but straightforward to use at home, it’s a practical choice for anyone seeking smoother combing, added moisture and salon-style shine without complicated routines.
