"The best conditioner for wavy or curly hair." - gail

Why You’ll love it

Turn painful tugging into a few smooth, easy brush strokes.

Knots loosen quickly, so combs glide instead of snag.

Hair feels silkier, flatter flyaways, and less frizz after drying.

Leaves a light, clean scent and a soft, glossy finish.

Description

Paul Mitchell The Detangler is a rich, creamy conditioner that makes knots slip away fast.

This lightweight formula works after shampooing to smooth the hair cuticle, add slip, and help combs glide through without tugging. It cushions each strand, helping to reduce breakage when you brush or style.

The texture feels silky and spreads easily from roots to ends, with a clean, fresh salon scent that doesn’t overpower. Hair is left feeling soft, sleek, and easier to manage, with a smooth, glossy finish.

Ideal for medium to coarse hair, or anyone who struggles with snags, especially after washing or swimming. Your hair feels calmer, more controlled, and ready to style in less time, with far less frustration.

Directions

How To Use Paul Mitchell The Detangler

After shampooing, gently squeeze excess water from hair.
Apply a small amount, focusing on mid-lengths and ends.
Comb through with fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
Leave on 1–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Style as usual; use after swimming for quick detangling.

Aqua Solvents

Solvent

The water base that carries and dissolves the other ingredients in most products.

May suit
All hair and skin types.

Worth knowing
Almost always the first ingredient listed in water-based products.
Cetearyl Alcohol Conditioning agents

Fatty alcohol conditioner

A fatty alcohol that helps soften hair and improve the texture of formulations.

May suit
People looking for smoother, more manageable hair or richer, creamier product textures.

Worth knowing
Despite the name, fatty alcohols are moisturising and conditioning rather than drying. They also help stabilise and thicken many haircare formulas.
Glycerin Humectants

Humectant

Attracts and holds water to help hair feel hydrated and soft.

May suit
Dry or dehydrated hair, and many curl and moisture routines.

Worth knowing
A very common, well-tolerated humectant used across countless products.

Conditioning silicone

A conditioning silicone that targets rougher areas of the hair to smooth and protect.

May suit
Damaged, frizz-prone or colour-treated hair wanting targeted smoothing.

Worth knowing
Designed to deposit where hair needs it most. Some prefer silicone-free formulas by choice.
Cyclopentasiloxane Silicones

Slip and shine agent

A lightweight silicone that spreads product evenly and gives a silky, fast-absorbing feel.

May suit

Antioxidant and conditioning support

A stable form of vitamin E used to help condition hair and support product stability.

May suit
Those looking for added conditioning support or antioxidant benefits in their haircare.

Worth knowing
It is commonly used because it is more stable than pure vitamin E while still offering similar benefits. It appears in many leave-in and rinse-off formulations.
Trideceth-12 Cleansers / surfactants

Nonionic surfactant and solubiliser

Helps blend oil‑based and water‑based ingredients and provides gentle cleansing action.

May suit
Those using products that need light cleansing or stable blends of oils, silicones, or fragrances.

Worth knowing
It is commonly used to solubilise fragrance or silicone ingredients in shampoos and treatments. Its mild, nonionic nature means it typically works well alongside other surfactants.

May suit
Those who enjoy subtly floral-scented haircare or are monitoring specific fragrance allergens.

Worth knowing
It is one of the fragrance allergens that must be listed individually on product labels when present above certain levels. Its presence does not indicate product strength or quality, only that it contributes to the overall scent profile.
Limonene Fragrance ingredients

Fragrance component

A fragrance component that also occurs naturally in many citrus and plant oils.

Worth knowing
A fragrance component that must be listed separately on labels because a minority of people can be sensitive to it. Its presence is normal, required disclosure and is not a quality signal.
Linalool Fragrance ingredients

Fragrance component
