Tea Tree Special vs Lavender Mint vs Lemon Sage

The three flagship Tea Tree lines look similar on the shelf but solve different problems:

  • Special (green): Tingling, refreshing, lightly purifying. Best for normal hair and oily scalps.
  • Lavender Mint (purple): Moisturizing, conditioning, sulfate-free. Best for dry, coarse, frizzy or chemically treated hair.
  • Lemon Sage (yellow): Volumizing and thickening. Best for fine, limp hair that needs body.

Tea Tree Scalp Care & thinning hair

The Scalp Care Anti-Thinning Shampoo and Conditioner are built around the Regeniplex botanical complex - kakadu plum, clover flower, turmeric, ginseng and pea peptides. Used together over 12 weeks, they help reduce the appearance of hair loss and support fuller-looking hair. Pair with a gentle wide-tooth comb and avoid tight elastics to minimize breakage.

How to layer Paul Mitchell - everyday routine

  1. Cleanse - pick the shampoo for your goal (Tea Tree Special for refresh, Lavender Mint for moisture, Lemon Sage for volume, Color Protect for colour).
  2. Condition - match the family (Lavender Mint conditioner for dry hair, Extra Body for fine).
  3. Prep - on damp hair: The Detangler for slip, or Super Skinny Serum for frizz and heat protection, or Extra Body Sculpting Foam/Gel for lift.
  4. Style - blow-dry; for sleek finishes use Express Ion Smooth+ flat iron.
  5. Finish - Freeze and Shine Super Spray for firm hold.

Volume routine for fine hair

Lemon Sage Thickening Shampoo + Conditioner -> Extra Body Sculpting Foam at the roots on damp hair -> blow-dry upside down -> Thicken Up on dry roots for a final boost. Avoid heavy oils and silicones at the roots.

Frizz + smoothing routine

Tea Tree Lavender Mint Shampoo + Conditioner -> Super Skinny Serum on damp hair (dime-sized, mid-lengths to ends) -> blow-dry with the airflow pointing down the cuticle -> Express Ion Smooth+ flat iron at 350-380F for medium hair, lower for fine.

Tea Tree beyond the shower

Tea Tree extends to body care: Tea Tree Body Bar, Tea Tree Special Hand Soap and Tea Tree Special Hair & Body Moisturizer. Same signature cooling tea tree, peppermint and lavender scent head-to-toe.
