Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum

Product Overview

 

The Super Skinny Serum from Paul Mitchell is a lightweight blow‑out primer/serum designed to smooth, tame frizz, reduce drying time, and help styles hold under humidity. 

 

According to the brand:

  • It “protects from heat with up to 450 °F thermal heat protection” and “reduced drying time” for smooth, shiny, frizz‑free hair. 
  • The formula uses lightweight silicones to “coat and seal each strand of hair, helping your style last in any weather”. 
  • Ideal for frizz‑prone hair and for anyone wanting a sleeker, polished finish. 

 

In summary: If you often face frizz, long blow‑drying times, or want your hair smoother and more manageable with a sleek finish, this serum is pitched to help.

 

Key Features & Benefits

 

Features

 

  • Heat protection up to ~450 °F (≈232 °C) in usage. 
  • Lightweight silicones (e.g., dimethicone/dimethiconol, isododecane) that smooth and seal the hair cuticle. 
  • Humidity‑resistant formula to fight frizz in humid conditions. 
  • Suitable for colour‑treated hair ("colour safe"), vegan, paraben free in many markets. 
  • Reduces drying time (by smoothing and constricting hair fibre diameter) thus helping styling go faster. 

 

Benefits

 

  • Smoother, sleeker hair finish: Hair looks shinier and feels more “put together”, with reduced surface frizz & fly‑aways.
  • Faster styling/blow‑drying: The hair fibre being smoother and coated means water may evaporate more efficiently, drying time reduces.
  • Better manageability: Easier to comb through, style, less tangling and less fight from unruly hair.
  • Frizz resistance in humid weather: Especially helpful in climates prone to humidity (like many parts of India) — designed to maintain smoothness when moisture in air tries to raise the cuticle.
  • Versatility for many hair types: While especially useful for frizz‑prone/coarser hair, many users with other hair types use it to get polished finish.

 

Specifications

 

  • Available sizes: e.g., 0.85 fl oz (≈25 ml), 5.1 fl oz (~150 ml) and 8.5 fl oz (~250 ml) in some markets. 
  • Typical key ingredients (for example): isododecane, dimethicone, dimethiconol, fragrance (parfum), plus lightweight silicones. 
  • Hair type recommendation: Ideal for frizzy hair; also suitable for colour‑treated hair. 
  • Fragrance: Described as a vibrant, juicy scent with notes of apple, berries and sweet florals. 
  • Packaging: New packaging with PCR (post‑consumer recycled) materials in many markets. 

 

Why Choose This Product?

 

Here are the reasons you might pick this serum — and some caveats to consider:

 

Why it’s a good choice

 

  • If your hair is frizzy, unruly or you battle fly‑aways, this is designed for that scenario.
  • If you blow‑dry or use heat styling often, the heat protection plus drying‑time reduction make this appealing.
  • If you want a sleek, polished finish, rather than a textured or tousled look, this helps with that smooth, glass‑hair kind of result.
  • If you live in a humid climate or hair becomes uncontrollable in moisture, the humidity‑resistant feature is a plus.
  • If you already use the Super Skinny line (shampoo/conditioner) and want to complete the regimen, this fits well.

 

Things to consider / when it might not be ideal

 

  • If your hair is very fine or limp, you may find the silicones “weigh down” the hair or reduce volume; indeed some users report this. For example:

“This just did not work well on my highlighted hair! … the bottom two inches of my hair were left dry and frizzy.” 

  • If your main goal is volume, lift or textured/curly definition, and not smoothing, then this may not align with that aim.
  • Because the product is quite concentrated, you must use sparingly. Too much can leave hair feeling heavy or greasy. Numerous user reviews mention this. 
  • Price: As a professional/salon brand product, it may cost higher compared to mass‑market serums.
  • If your hair does not use much heat or seldom needs smoothing, you might prefer a lighter finishing oil or serum focused on shine rather than smoothing.

Here’s a recommended usage method so you get the best results:

 

  1. Wash your hair with your usual shampoo (ideally the Super Skinny Shampoo if you are following the line) and apply conditioner as needed; rinse and towel‑dry so hair is damp (not dripping).
  2. Dispense about 1 pump (or the amount appropriate for your hair length/thickness) of the Super Skinny Serum into your palms. Note: The product is very concentrated. 
  3. Apply the serum to your damp hair — starting from the mid‑lengths and ends, and then lightly through the lengths toward roots (unless your scalp becomes oily, in which case avoid the roots).
  4. Comb through or use your fingers to distribute the serum evenly and detangle any knots.
  5. Style as desired: Blow‑dry, straighten, curl, etc. Because the serum aids drying time and provides heat protection, you may notice your styling is quicker and smoother.
  6. Finishing tip: For day‑two or touch‑ups, you may apply a tiny amount to dry hair to control fly‑aways or tame ends. But avoid over‑application (especially on fine hair).
  7. Storage & caution: As the product has flammable solvents (e.g., isododecane) or volatile silicones, keep away from open heat/flame sources.
