Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Colour Conditioner

Product Overview

This conditioner from the Paul Mitchell “Tea Tree Special Color” line is designed specifically for colour‑treated hair. It aims to detangle, smooth and help protect your hair colour from fading, while delivering the fresh, tingly “tea tree” sensation for which the line is known.  

At the same time, it leaves hair and scalp looking and feeling healthier, with added botanicals like rooibos tea, and the brand’s “Tingle Complex” (tea tree + peppermint + lavender) for a refreshing finish.  

In short: a conditioner for colour‑treated hair, with protective features plus sensory appeal.
