Healthier Hair Starts With Hairstory’s New Wash - Here’s How

In the age of self-care-first mentality, we are taking care of our wellness from head to toe. But we've discovered a blind spot - our hair.

Yes, we want clean hair but that's not enough. We need a care routine that makes our hair look and feel great, without adding daily masks, mists, treatments - no, thank you. Searching for the right fit when it comes to #hairgoals, we found Hairstory.

Hairstory addresses the most prominent part of your routine - the wash. Normally you'd pile on shampoo and conditioner, which is nice at first… but then as it strips out the natural oils you notice your hair getting dry and lank over time. Hairstory's New Wash is a hair cleanser that not only leaves your hair cleaner but healthier thanks to its ingredients and low-maintenance mission.

With all the hair brands out there, we decided to clear up once and for all what's true and false about Hairstory's New Wash so you can get the full picture.

Here's what we found out:

Store-bought shampoo strips your hair of its natural oils.

TRUE. Traditional shampoos contain parabens, detergents, and other harmful chemicals that strip the hair and scalp of their natural oils. This leads to an overproduction of oil sending you back to the shower sooner. Hairstory's New Wash is free of all such ingredients so it never causes excess oil or scalp irritation.

Plant-based, toxic-free hair products are less effective.

FALSE. Hairstory's cruelty-free formula is mostly plant-based and is more effective than drug store shampoos and conditioners. It contains cleansing ingredients and essential oils that hydrate, eliminating the need for a conditioner.

Hairstory is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

TRUE. While Hairstory's New Wash Original works for every hair type including straight, curly, thin, and thick, they also offer New Wash Deep and New Wash Rich. The Deep formula provides a deeper cleansing with apple cider vinegar and argan oil. And for those looking for more moisture, the Rich formula packs extra conditioning.

Hairstory only has New Wash.

FALSE.Hairstory is so much more than an amazing cleanser. Their awesome styling products include Hair Balm, Dressed Up Hair Protector, Wax, and Powder - a dry shampoo. Whether you're looking for beachy waves, a slicked-back look, or a refresh between washes, Hairstory's got you covered.

It's less expensive than store-bought shampoo.

TRUE. Store-bought products may seem like a great deal, but you go through them much faster and, as a result, must repurchase sooner. Plus, you spend extra money on products to repair the damage that's done. Hairstory's concentrated formulas last longer and there's also a fantastic subscribe-and-save option! Get your New Wash delivered to your door with free shipping.

Hairstory's Refill Club comes with a free refillable travel container, shower container, and shipping on every order. When you make the switch to Hairstory's refill pouches you use 91% less plastic and 82% CO2. Choose your New Wash type, size - 8, 20, or 32oz - and how often you'd like to receive your new supply.

Achieve healthy and shiny locks with Hairstory's next-level hair care. It's better for both you and the planet!

I Tried Hairstory's Hair Balm. Here's What Happened

I finally went to a hairdresser that specializes in curly hair and I have to tell you, it's the best thing I ever did. My cut was spectacular, and I'm finally not frustrated by my curls - but styling has been a little tricky.

My mane definitely needs product, but it CANNOT handle a daily blowdry.

Would my stylist have the answer? I called up the salon to talk to her, and she told me she'd heard great things about Hairstory's Hair Balm, which is recommended for air drying.

I was surprised to hear that there was a product specifically for letting your hair air dry. Still, I looked it up; it's a leave-in conditioner that works to tame frizz, shape curls and add moisture, without getting that crunchy dry effect.

There was free shipping on my first order, a money-back guarantee, and the product is made from all natural ingredients, so even though I'd never even heard of this brand before… it seemed like their products were high-quality.

They were also super transparent about their ingredients, which is kind of Hairstory'sthing; everything is listed, even if it's only in trace amounts that aren't required by law to be included on a label (yikes!). If you hover over an ingredient, they give you a full explanation on why they use it! Pretty cool.

Even with my limited knowledge of hair products, I could scan and see that this was packed with proteins, hydrating oils, and essential oils for fragrance instead of other weird stuff.

I figured I'd give it a try - they're most known for their shampoo-free cleanser, New Wash, which intrigued me, so I'd try that next if this worked out.

My package arrived pretty swiftly and I liked the crisp blue and white bottle. I double checked the instructions online for how much to use, and read that one full pump was right for long, thick hair (me!).

After a shower, I worked a pump full of Hair Balm into my hand and ran it through my hair, scrunching as I went. It smelled nice, at least, and not like chemicals.

I went to go watch a 2 hour movie, and didn't check on my hair until after...

Oh my goodness. There was a Noticeable Difference. First off, no frizz whatsoever - every hair was wound in a thick curl. I hadn't seen my hair silhouetted like that since I came out of the salon! My hair was soft too; it was like body lotion for my hair.

I walked around my apartment, checking it out in every mirror, and noticed as time went by, it still didn't lose volume or frizz up. It was a long-lasting effect.

Not to be dramatic, but this is life-changing for curly hair. If you subscribe for a new shipment every 6, 8, or 10 weeks, you'll get 5% off!

It apparently works for other hair types, too, so if you're looking for a hair-healthy styling product you can air dry with, I can't imagine anything better.
