Hairstory's New Wash: Yay Or Nay?

For a lot of us, lockdown helped us realize just how much we were over-washing our hair.

But when we are in the routine of over-washing, it's hard to stop because our hair gets oily and dirty quickly and we have to wash it again.

We all have our go-to drugstore shampoo and conditioner at this stage - whatever one that has the nicest smell or makes our hair look shiny for a day or two after washing. However, some have started steering away from drugstore shampoo brands in search of alternatives with better ingredients.

Recently we've seen Hairstory's New Wash gain popularity with those making the switch. We decided to compare it to regular shampoo to see if we would recommend it. Here's what we found:

Key Similarities:

  • Both serve the purpose of washing your hair

Key Differences:

  • Hairstory is free from sulfates, parabens, silicones, and other harmful ingredients. Most drugstore brands are not
  • Hairstory delivers to your doorstep, some drug stores don't deliver
  • Hairstory has a sustainable subscription option called their "Refill Club." Most drugstores don't have subscriptions
  • Hairstory's refill's contain no unnecessary plastic. Drugstore shampoo bottles are made of plastic
  • Hairstory's New Wash comes in 3 types: Original, Rich, and Deep. There are so many drugstore brands, the options can be overwhelming
  • Hairstory has a thorough quiz to help you figure out which product is right for you
  • Hairstory has a money-back guarantee.

Drugstore Brand Overview:

Most shampoo and conditioner brands that you can buy in your local drugstore contain harsh ingredients like sulfates and other detergents that over-clean your hair - the same detergents found in cleaning products!

Turns out, if it foams it's probably not good for your hair. Drugstore shampoo strips away your scalp's natural protective oils, so your body ends up overproducing oils in response. Then we have to add moisture again by using conditioner and our hair is greasy in no time. It's the vicious wash, grease, repeat cycle.

These detergents can also be a cause of dandruff due to an irritated, flaky scalp.

Hairstory Overview:

Hairstory's New Wash is a safe and effective substitute for shampoo and conditioner. It cleans your hair and scalp without stripping your natural oils or damaging the microbiome.

When comparing the ingredient lists of most drugstore brands to Hairstory, the difference is huge. Hairstory contains zero harsh chemicals. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Jojoba seed oil, Evening Primrose oil, Sunflower seed oil, Peppermint oil, Rose oil, and keratin are a few of the strengthening and conditioning ingredients included in New Wash.

Our editors couldn't wait to try out New Wash. It takes a little while for your hair to get used to the switch depending on your hair type. Some people have no transition issues, but on average it can take 2-4 weeks of using New Wash 'til the results are fully set in. In our experience it was about the 2 week mark.

When your hair gets used to New Wash, you don't need to wash it as often because the wash, grease, repeat cycle has been broken. Once our hair got used to it we noticed our hair looking healthier and shinier than it's ever been!

Hairstory's Refill Club is worth noting too - members can subscribe and get a discount on their New Wash, plus free shipping. You'll receive an aluminum refillable container equipped with a convenient pump dispenser, and every 10-14 weeks you'll be sent a pouch to refill your bottle, meaning 63% less plastic consumption.

Final Thoughts

After trying Hairstory's New Wash, we can confirm it's no myth. We've fully made the switch from our drugstore brands to New Wash, and we've noticed a huge difference in our hair. It costs $40 for 8 oz., which seems like a lot, but we hardly ever have to wash our hair anymore!

Plus, our hair is in the best condition it's ever been in, so we're saving money by not having to use repairing products, serums, hair masks, and detanglers. Hairstory's products don't stop at New Wash though - they have tons of other products to help you reach your hair goals.

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!

The Best Hair Cleanser To Get Your Hair Back To Healthy

Our editors have been searching for a new hair care routine for healthier hair. We've discovered the foundation to our hair goals all starts with the wash. No matter how much product you pile on, if your hair isn't at its best under all that, you won't achieve what you're looking for.

Trying to narrow down the best wash routine we landed on Hairstory's New Wash. This hair care brand is redefining the way we approach wash day with a game-changing hair cleanser. It turns out the shampoo-conditioner routine we're all looped into is actually making out hair worse, not better.

Shampoos are often packed with detergents and harsh chemicals that strip the hair and scalp of natural oils, leading to damaged hair and an overproduction of oil, sending you back to the shower even sooner. You go through more products and your hair isn't benefiting from this wash-grease-repeat cycle.

New Wash is a cleanser that works for all hair types and has none of those harmful detergents. Women are making the switch to Hairstory and here's what they're saying:

"Love how my hair feels"

"Felt the effect on my hair instantly after the first wash. My hair is fine and wavy, with a few highlights and it has recently been very dry and without form. Since I started using New Wash my hair has become soft, wavy, shiny... like it used to be when I was a kid!" - Natalia D.

"Flat and oily to full and healthy!"

"I have very soft, medium/lightweight hair, and I get an oily scalp a day or less after a wash. For a long time, I had been trying to decrease the amount of oil my scalp generates by washing less with my usual shampoo and conditioner...but never had much success.

Using New Wash has truly decreased the amount of oil on my scalp and given my hair a fullness and volume that I have never achieved before!" - Laura B.

"So happy with the results"

"I have fine, color-treated hair. It always looked dried and fried. My scalp was also dry and itchy. I've been using New Wash for two weeks and OMG. I don't need to load up with products - conditioner, hair mask, leave-in conditioner, styling cream, etc. - to get healthy-looking hair." - Andrea L.

"Never using traditional shampoo again!"

"I can't stress enough how much I love this product!! I was already only washing my hair once a week, however, I needed dry shampoo and a pony by day 2! With New Wash I use it once a week as well but now I can wear my hair down well into day 4." - Ashley A.

"Basically it's magic"

"Oh my god. I started using New Wash a year ago and it changed my hair. No more split ends (seriously, none) and it looks moisturized and healthy, which is a feat for hip-length hair. Also fixed my dry, flaky scalp that caused me so much stress." - Rachel V.

Not only is Hairstory better for your scalp, but it's also better for the planet. Hairstoryis known for its sustainable Refill Club, which gives you a refillable shower container, travel container, and free shipping on your orders. Then you subscribe to stock up on New Wash every 10, 12, or 14 weeks - whatever works for you - and it arrives at your door in a pouch (goodbye plastic bottles!!).

We're totally embracing this new wash routine with Hairstory. Trust us, your hair will thank you for making the switch.

Does Hairstory Live Up To The Hype?

If your feed is anything like mine, you've probably been served this Hairstory ad many times.

More and more natural beauty and hair care products are coming out all the time and in such a saturated industry, it's hard to know which brands are the best and which ones you can skip.

But, I've been meaning to replace my shampoo and conditioner for the longest time - I'd been reading about how parabens and harsh chemicals are bad for us, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to try Hairstory out and see if it lives up to the hype.

Turns out, regular shampoo is really damaging to your scalp as it's full of detergents. Hairstory's New Wash is a safe and effective substitute for shampoo and conditioner. It's a scalp and hair cleanser, and it cleans without stripping your hair of its natural oils or damaging the microbiome.

Once your hair gets used to New Wash, it breaks the cycle of wash, grease, repeat, so you don't have to wash it as often. It does this because it is powered by both essential oils and naturally-derived ingredients - no sulfates, parabens, or harsh chemicals that strip your hair.

When ordering my New Wash I'm able to choose between 8oz, 20oz, and 32 oz for a one-time purchase, or I can subscribe to their Refill Club and choose whatever frequency I'd like to receive my deliveries. I went with the 8oz for now, but if I like it, I'd definitely subscribe to save.

Soon after my New Wash arrived and I was excited to try it! My hair didn't take to New Wash straight away. I read online that your hair can get used to New Wash after one wash but sometimes it takes several depending on your hair type and texture, so I knew not to give up. And it's really no surprise it took a little longer for me considering the decades I've been using paraben-filled shampoo.

After about 2 weeks, my hair was fully converted. I was pleasantly surprised - it felt healthier and softer than it ever had. Hairstory is no myth!

I went on to join the Refill Club and received a free aluminum dispenser with a pump, a travel jar and free shipping! Plus, Hairstory emails you before any new shipments are sent, but it's really easy to cancel if I ever decide to.

Now I never have to worry about my New Wash running out, keeping my hair and scalp on the healthy track. But I'm also doing something for the environment - Hairstory's biodegradable ingredients and refillable pouch are better for the planet as well as my hair.

The thing I love about Hairstory's New Wash the most is that I have to wash it so much less, and I never need to put in any hair masks anymore - it's naturally soft and shiny. It's truly streamlining my haircare routine and I'm saving so much time and money.

If you've been wondering about Hairstory's New Wash is worth all the hype, I can confirm it is. Check them out, your hair will thank you!

5 Things I Found Interesting About Hairstory

I adore trying new hair and beauty products. I'm constantly on the quest to find my holy grail products, but I've tried so many, I'm ready to settle down with one product that takes care of all my needs.

So when I heard about the professional haircare brand, Hairstory, and their hair wash cleanser aimed to debunk the classic shampoo-conditioner routine, I was very intrigued. Apparently, traditional shampoos are actually just harmful detergents that strip your scalp of its protective oil barrier.

Was my hair ready to switch to something so different and leave my shampooing and conditioning routine behind?

I wasn't too sure if it was the right direction for me, so I decided to do more research, and here's what I found:

New Wash replaces your shampoo and conditioner; it's everything your hair needs. Once your hair adapts to New Wash, you don't have to wash it as often - it breaks the cycle of wash, grease, repeat by not stripping your hair.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, "Jojoba" seed oil, "Evening Primrose" oil, Sunflower seed oil, Rose oil, Keratin- just some of the safe natural ingredients Hairstory uses. They are fully transparent about everything that goes into their products, unlike other shampoos that only tell you what they need to.

Less need for conditioning treatments because New Wash is full of natural conditioning ingredients that won't leave your hair dry and damaged

Suitable for every type of hair with 3 formulations of New Wash: Rich, Original, and Deep!

Hairstory uses less plastic for their packaging and takes sustainability even further with their Refill Club. You get an aluminum refillable container equipped with a convenient pump dispenser and every 6-10 weeks, they send you a New Wash pouch to refill your bottle.

After learning all this, I couldn't not try Hairstory's New Wash, plus with so many glowing hair goal reviews online I couldn't wait to try it out.

I crossed my fingers the first time using my New Wash, hoping it would work in my hair. After a full two weeks of trialing it, I can confirm: I'm converted to the Hairstory New Wash method for cleansing my hair.

My hair already feels healthier and stronger and I can't wait to tell my sister, mom, and friends that they need to ditch the high-chemical, detergent-filled, traditional shampoos and conditioners and get on the New Wash hair wave with me.

Our Editors Tried Hairstory’s New Wash. Here’s Our Review

  • The most widely used shampoos are full of harmful chemicals and use toxic detergents that strip our hair and scalp of its natural oils and microbiome, leading to dry irritated scalps, stripping of color, tangling, and the overproduction of sebum.
  • The founders of Hairstory believed that you should be able to clean your hair without using any detergent. So after a lot of hard work, they developed the New Wash formula to cleanse hair in a safe, healthy, and effective way.
  • Our beauty editors had to see if New Wash was worth the hype compared to their various all-time favorite shampoos and conditioners.

Hairstory was founded in 2015 after one of the product developers, Jackie, spent years testing cleansing formulas to fix her scalp psoriasis. The main highlight from her story and the research is that the hairdressing community knew that shampoo was damaging to the scalp, but still, nothing was being done about it - until Hairstory.

After placing our New Wash orders we were so excited that the minute they landed on our doorsteps we couldn't wait to try them out.

For some of us, the change was instant after one wash, for others, it took a few more uses to get the full effect. It's completely understandable that after the overcleaning our scalps have endured from other shampoos that it can't all be undone in one wash. The important thing to know is that once you stick with it, it's so worth it. We kept reminding each other we're making the right move for our hair and scalps and after a few washes, our hair looked and felt amazing.
