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.

  • 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.

We all have different hair types, textures, styles, lengths, and had all used different shampoos with such various hair care routines but New Wash worked for all of us. Some of us love how soft and shiny it makes our hair the most, some of us love how we have to wash it so much less and some of us love how it's the only step in our haircare routine now.

Hairstory's New Wash has so many benefits, but most importantly we know that what we're putting on our heads is safe and healthy, with beautiful results. Join Hairstorys post-shampoo hair care era today and start your journey back to healthy luscious hair.

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, Hairstoryand 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 Washreplaces 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 has a comprehensive 23-step quiz to help you choose the one that best fits your hair.

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'sNew 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.
