New Wash Original

So I have been on the hunt for a no sulfate cream cleanser after my beloved hair rules no suds cleansing cream is no longer going to be sold. I am extremely upset about that because I love this stuff. Dickey has been telling us for years about how suds and lather are not the best for our hair. Also was trying to see if anyone with textured hair uses this product because I only see lots of wavy and loose curly girls using this. Really none with my hair type. Anyway I had seen and heard about Hairstory through the internet but along with not seeing anyone with real textured hair using this product and the price being a turn off to me I had never thought about using it but now I have decided to give it a try because of my hair rules product no longer being available and I found one chick with texture raving about this product. I came to Amazon to see if I could get it fast so I could try it out before making a purchase off of their site. Amazon delivered quickly. I must say upon the first time using it I am impressed. I love how it cleanses without stripping my hair. I have coily, dry hair and it needs hydration and moisturization on a weekly basis. This hair type also gets very tangled if it dries out. This cleanser is like a conditioner so I just rubbed it between my hands and applied. After rinsing I did an instant conditioner to give extra hydration and my hair was easy to detangle. I applied my gel for my wash and go and my hair was soft to the touch. Upon using the second time I have experienced the same softness with detangling. I have placed an order from their site now with the small 10% coupon they give you if you sign up for email notifications. The price is outrageous to me but what can one do if you want to use this product. That little 8 oz. bag hopefully will get me 8 to 10 uses. I ordered two 20. Oz bags with two coupons I had. Bought the price down a little. This would be the o my way I will buy , if they have a sale or something. I laughed at how one of the reps explains on their instagram about why the price is so high and how in actuality you are saving money. Anyway not going to complain about it cause they are not coming down on the price and again if you like you have to pay.

This is a long review. I'm smitten with this product. I have very straight, fine hair and some scalp issue (tangent: not sure what it is, but it's nearly constantly itchy with tender red patches, but no dandruff, doesn't seem to change depending on climate, been struggling with it for 4 or 5 years). Dermatologist once prescribed me some topical steriods to "see if it helps," which means he didn't know/didn't care what the issue actually is (tangent: crappy health insurance), which did nothing to help, along side the other countless home treatments and products I've tried over time. I recently fell in love with the @jayne_edosalon IG account, and she's constantly singing Hair Story's praises. I don't typically spend a ton on hair care products, but I got a wild hair (pun intended) and ordered the Pre Wash, New Wash, and Hair Scrubber set and was excited to try. So first, the pre wash, which has a hydrogen peroxide smell to it. Used scrubber to get it in there good and it felt great, like a little massager. Didn't know what I was missing there. Left that on 3 or 4 minutes as directed, then rinsed for the New Wash. The smell sold me. It's giving the rosemary mint Aveda shampoo I fell in love with at the salon back in the early 90s, but with some rosiness, but not like an overwhelming amount. Very subtle. I saw a post that recommended the amount of shampoo and conditioner you typically use in one wash and combining those for each new wash, so I did that. It felt like a lot; borderline wasteful. Used the scrubber, rinsed thoroughly. The same post said you'll notice "new movement" in your hair, and I honestly could see and feel it even before it dried. I towel-dried which is what I usually do before bed, brushed it and had no tangles, and scrunched it into shape - I'm trying to rock a toned-down shag so I shaped my bangs, tried to get some natural wave into the length just for some bounce, which I struggle to acheive, and combed my cowlick how I *dream* it will lay, but it never does. The lingering scent and gentle wake of the head massage action lulled me to sleep. In the morning, my hair was like PERFECTLY how I'd styled it the night before. My bangs rocked, my cowlick was nearly undetectable, my ends had shape. My hair was glistening and almost WISPY instead of being stuck together and heavy. When I use my fingers to zhuzh it up at the roots, it actually worked, not a usual thing for me! My scalp continued to feel itchy throughout the day, but it was more often a phantom itch, like a habit of reaching up to scratch and then pleasantly realizing it's not actually that itchy. And when I did scratch, my scalp was noticeably less sensitive so it didn't hurt. I really feel like this stuff was made for me. I'm stoked to try more products, but the ONLY thing I'm not stoked on is the price. So I'd give 4.75-4.9 stars if I could. I don't see my bottle of New Wash or Pre Wash lasting very long. But it could just be the price I'm willing to pay.

This is an amazing product. I was a little skeptical trying to find something that would actually make my hair look and feel healthy again. I used to use Nexxus, and while it made my hair feel good right out of the shower, I had to condition it every single day or my hair would end up looking and feeling horrible. I tried this product at night, and when I woke up my hair was barely tangled. I only spent a couple minutes doing and styling my hair, and it’s honestly the softest and easiest my hair has ever been to manage. I have naturally wavy hair, and my waves have been popping off ever since I started using this. On top of that, I tried it on my husband because he also has long hair. His hair is beautiful, but it’s always been very dry, brittle, and tangled. After using this no-poo product, his hair became so much softer, smoother, and way less tangled. This product has genuinely been a game changer for both of us, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who feels like their hair stays dry no matter what they try. I have added two pictures one with make up on is before this new wash product the other one is after. My waves are more full I have less frizz it’s really an amazing product.

Not to brag, but I have AMAZING hair! It’s 100% my best asset (I lucked out with phenomenal hair genes). It’s long, thick, air dries to beachy waves, blow dries straight or holds a kinky curl forever if I tell it to. So this product’s claims had me intrigued. I already only wash my hair every 4 days and don’t mind no suds. But the first time I used this, it took me 19 pumps to evenly coat my hair! At the insanely ridiculous price of $40 for 8 oz (8 oz is nothing), those with long, thick or coarse hair will burn through this product so quickly. Don’t get me wrong, I will drop money on my hair - IF A PRODUCT WORKS - but this product is not worth it! After washing, I let my hair air dry. The look, the feel everything is the same as it is with my normal shampoo and conditioner. So basically I'd rather buy my salon shampoo and conditioner (organic and also SLS free) at $40 for 67.6 oz that lasts months. Of course I will use up this bottle and see if the results change whatsoever but so far I feel I've just been bamboozled really well by New Wash's marketing. I’m really curious to see allll the R&D that went in to formulate this product, especially when the SLS has been omitted (cost savings to the company right there). It's not like they're inventing the wheel with sulfate free shampoo. But they certainly are reaping all the profits as they've cut out regional distributors, bulk sales to salon owners, box retailers and e-tailers. I feel if they truly cared about the environment (like Toms, for example) and wanted to make a difference in the hair industry (e.g. like Aveda), they should get in touch with reality and bring that price point down.

I love this for my hair. I am perimenopause and my curly hair is dryer than dry. This really helps soften it up and it doesn’t strip my hair like other products. My only complaint is the dispenser. It just spits out the smallest amount of product and takes forever to get enough for my hair. I am going to find something else to use when I get the refill. Hopefully they come up with something better cause it gets me fired up lol. Let me know if you have any suggestions for an alternative dispenser!

Works but not for everyday use. It can leave your hair heavy and gray looking. It's great for coarse hair that is being blown straight but fine hair gets oily and heavy.

I have been tempting to buy this New Wash for a long time, influenced by social media and especially by Jane Matthews the hairstylist who does beautiful razor cuts I am obsessed with. She is a testimonial I think, she uses on her own hair and her clients. I am going through a bad time with my hair because of perimenopause, side effects of a migraine medication etc. So I thought that a less aggressive shampoo would have been better. So I bought the refill because is the cheapest option to give it a try and I actually loved it. I have very fine straight - wavy when at the beach -treated (highlights) blonde hair and I am 51 yo. I use it once a week because my hair don’t get dirty or oily, I sweat a lot and go to the gym but being so fine and without using styling products they keep clean for a long time. I found that to good results it is essential to follow instructions (I have short hair so I don’t use a “generous” amount as recommended on the bottle :)) and let it sit, massage your scalp, let it sit etc And the result is amazing. No need for conditioner or anything else. And you get clean soft light hair. I have been using it three times and I am so happy with the New Wash by Hairstory. I haven’t had this kind of result since the first time I used the K18!!! Still, I find it too expensive, so I don’t know if will keep buying it. This is the only downside.

I rarely write reviews and never include photos but I had to for this product. I was skeptical about the idea of co-wash shampoo. But since menopause I have been fighting a war with my hair. I workout daily and feel I have to wash my hair. Rinsing isn’t enough. My hair is either dry and unmanageable or limp. Today I tried this and I love it. It feels so cool and refreshing on the scalp. I love the scalp massager. It rinses well and my hair felt perfectly clean and conditioned. I styled my hair using my usual products - a smoothing serum and a bit of root lifter. My hair has body and shine. It feels soft and manageable and no flyaways in my face! It’s a bit pricey but it was worth it! I highly recommend.

Magical stuff that makes my hair curly and happy. It’s just INCREDIBLY expensive. I guess it’s going to work out at about £3 for each wash. One for an occasional hair treat, rather than more regular use.

After using it for 2 months I returned to my previous shampoo that was letting my hair full of volume, shiny and just beautiful. I kept the brush, that I still use :)

I really love this product. It makes my hair behave exactly the way I want, feeling thicker without feeling sticky), and it is so easy to use.

Amazing no suds cleanser

Received it and tried it for 3 weeks, it wasn’t working for me had my hair feeling very greasy, but emailed customer service and they sent me a new wash (deep) and that one seems to be working.
