New Wash is the healthiest choice you can make for your hair, your scalp and your routine.

A FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
WILL THIS WORK FOR YOUR HAIR TYPE? (YES!)
Reviews from thousands of customers with every hair type and texture use the same phrase: “life-changing.” That’s because New Wash works with—not against—your unique hair and scalp concerns.
Detergents in shampoo strip your natural protective oils, which you (try to) fix with conditioner, which leads to more greasiness. Break the cycle with detergent-free New Wash.
Shampoo is the root cause of many oily scalps. When you switch to New Wash, your oil overproduction subsides, your scalp rebalances and your hair thrives with volume and shine.
New Wash keeps your color brilliant with oxidation-fighting sunflower seed oil and a detergent-free formula that removes impurities—and leaves the protective oils your hair needs.
New Wash adds oomph by enhancing your natural texture, softness and silkiness—all of which makes fine and thin hair easier to manage and style.
Your thick hair is not unmanageable—it just needs the right cleanser! New Wash adds softness, smoothness and shine without taking away the moisture you need.
Gray hair can have a mind of its own. New Wash’s custom blend of essential oils and gentle cleansing agents gives grays a more consistent texture and much softer feel.

"New Wash is the only product l’ve found that gives my hair volume, body and personality. Before New Wash, my long hair would just hang lifelessly. With New Wash, I get the texture of my dreams. Try it!"
KATHERINE Verified buyer
"Man, was I wrong! I have been using New Wash for 3 months now and my hair has drastically changed for the better. I can finally air dry it and my wavy/curl pattern is coming back! It is lightweight and feels clean way longer than it does when washing with regular shampoo. Believe the hype!"
ALEX S. Verified buyer
"I’ve spent years trying to find the right shampoo-conditioner combo that didn't dry my scalp out or leave it feeling greasy while still actually caring for my curly texture. I’ve been only using New Wash for a couple months now and my hair has never been this consistent. It’s hydrated, my scalp isn't itchy or flaking, and my ends are happy."

Frequently asked Questions
-
Is New Wash a shampoo?
New Wash is not a shampoo. It's a cleansing cream. Shampoos contain harsh detergents that strip your hair of its good, protective oils while they clean. New Wash cleans using essential oils and fatty alcohols—and zero detergents—while removing dirt, oil and buildup.
-
Is New Wash a conditioner?
New Wash is not a conditioner. Conditioners do not clean the hair; they only replace moisture after shampoo strips it. Alternatively, New Wash contains cleansing and conditioning ingredients.
-
Will New Wash clean my hair?
Yes! New Wash cleans using essential oils and fatty alcohols, all of which are naturally derived and biodegradable.
-
How often should I wash my hair with New Wash?
You can wash your hair daily or however often works for you. New Wash is so gentle that you no longer need to worry about stripping your color or drying out your strands.
When starting out with New Wash, we suggest sticking to your regular routine and finding your rhythm over time. Many people have found that they can go much longer between washes with New Wash. -
How does New Wash work?
New Wash cleans hair with a custom blend of essential oils and gentle, naturally derived saturated cleansers that also help balance your scalp’s natural oil production.
-
Will New Wash work for my hair type?
Yes! Check out the reviews—“life-changing” is a commonly used phrase by people with all different hair types. Take our quiz to find the best formula for you: Original, Rich or Deep.
-
How long will it take for New Wash to work?
New Wash benefits hair immediately, but all hair types are different so some scalps need to adjust and may experience oiliness or flakiness. This adjustment period is natural and more commonly experienced by people with oily or fine hair.
-
My hair is still adjusting to New Wash after a few washes. What should I do?
New Wash is different from detergent-based shampoos, and so is the way you use it. If your hair feels greasy or you have some buildup after using New Wash, there are two common reasons.
First, you might not be using enough New Wash. Apply the same amount of New Wash as you’d usually use for both shampoo and conditioner—enough to coat hair like you would for a conditioner or mask. Then work it in really, really well with the Massaging Scalp Brush. Add a bit of water to get a smooth, milky consistency; this will allow it to capture and bond to the dirt, buildup and excess oil.
You also might not be rinsing it out thoroughly. New Wash bonds to impurities and requires extra rinsing to work it out. Massage it out with the Massaging Scalp Brush or your fingertips.
Remember: It takes time to adjust to new habits and routines. You might experience an adjustment period during which your scalp overproduces oil, like it was trained to do by detergent-based shampoos. It hasn't yet acclimated to this new way of cleansing that leaves the healthy, protective oils to do their job. It may take two or three washes or up to a couple weeks, but your scalp and oil production should regulate and thrive with your new healthy routine! -
Are New Wash pouches recyclable?
Yes, pouches are made with LLDPE (linear low-density polyethylene) and are fully recyclable under classification #1.
-
Will this clog my drain or harm my septic system?
No, all Hairstory products are septic-safe and will not clog the drain.
