Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm Review
Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm ($15.95) is a lightweight balm to help smooth stray hairs and strands that is humidity resistant. It is meant to work in conjuction with your blow dryer, so be sure to apply this to towel-dried hair (e.g. damp hair), and then blow dry to finish smoothing. The scent of the Super Skinny Relaxing Balm is a subtle green apple, which ends up drying down virtually scentless (that’s probably a good thing!). This is very much a uni-tasking product, and since my hair is low maintenance, I don’t personally have a need that this product fills. However, I do get stray flyaways from time to time, and this does reduce the amount I get, so that is helpful!

My salon gave us all samples of this when it first came out. I didn’t try it at all at first because the last thing my hair needs is products weighing it down, but now I’m addicted to it. It definitely helps with the frizz!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Amy! It’s so great to hear when a product gets raves from others, too 😀
I’m a fan of this. I bought it after my hairdresser used it a couple of times to help smooth out my curly hair (big, loose curls) when blowdrying it straight. It helps to smooth out frizz and keep my hair from going nuts. 🙂
That’s great, Sanayhs! It’s great for fightin’ the frizz battles.
Thanks for reviewing this Christine! I love the green apple scent of the Super Skinny products but I, too, think they would probably be too much if they didn’t fade after drying… I would most likely get nauseous with all that apple on my head!
No problem! I’m glad to know I’m not alone in that opinion!
I like this stuff too. It’s really good. However, I found something better. If I can look up the link to the vid of how it works, I will place it here. It’s called Sabino Moisture Block, and it completely blocks out all frizz even in the rain. It’s my fave. I believe it can be purchased at http://www.gotfrizz.com but I will look and see if I can find the info for the free sample. Because you can email them and request one.
Thanks for the heads up, Loli!
Found it! You’re going to be amazed.

I used this product and I liek it so far. Is it safe to use with a hair straightener??
I don’t see why not!
I just bought this after my stylist recommened it. I haven’t tried it yet on towel dried hair but she said it is amazing. She said is already has a heat protectant and leave in conditioner made into it. She said is straightens for you while you blow dry. Sounds pretty good to me. A lot of people are comparing this to the Super Skinny Serum, although they are completely different products. The serum goes on dry hair just to keep frizzies away. This balm goes on wet hair then blow dried.
I hope it works for you, Keila!
