kintaro's Full Review: Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo
I am a heterosexual male who has no interest whatsoever in owning a salon. So why am I reviewing an expensive professional-grade shampoo? Because this shampoo is simply THAT good!
For a guy, I have rather fickle and unpredictable hair - quite the wavy mess! As a result, the shampoo I choose really does matter. I have tried all the cheap-o drugstore brands, and they all left my hair flat, lifeless, or worse. I decided it was time to try something a bit more posh, a bit more adventurous. Paul Mitchell Awapuhi seemed to fit the bill with utter precision.
The shampoo seduced me with its subtle yet beautiful scent – something akin to falling into a ginger patch while a soft-skinned island girl tickles the bottom of my nose with various brightly colored flowers. It really is wonderful! Balanced and not at all overwhelming. Do not let this shampoo sit unused for too long however, for I actually had a bottle that went bad.
The solution itself is thick and almost colorless, with a hint of silver-pearl. Due to the thickness, you really don’t need to use a large portion – just enough to lather your hair evenly. This stuff is potent! As a side note, I did a bit of research and found that dousing your hair in shampoo for a “super thick rich lather” is actually rather wasteful and accomplishes nothing. Nor does the second-wash (ie. lather, rinse, repeat).
After using the Awapuhi shampoo, my hair is soft, smooth, and light for the entire day. In fact, the first time I used it, I received compliments from nine different women on a local University campus telling me how beautiful my hair was, and that my scent reminded them of spring break in Cancun. After rinsing, there is no sign at all of any lingering chemical-y residue. My hair actually felt much more clean.
Overall, this stuff is a hair elixir that is well worth the price (about $10 for 8.5oz) for anyone that cares about his or her appearance. Paul Mitchell Awapuhi shampoo is VASTLY superior to all of the cheap and/or massively-marketed drugstore brands. It will help you succeed in business and in key interpersonal relationships. Oh, and by the way, it also works really well as a body wash!
