Hairstory New Wash Original detergent-free shampoo + conditioner 8 fl oz — sulfate-free, color-safe cleansing cream

New Wash Original is a detergent-free cleansing cream that replaces both shampoo and conditioner, gently cleaning, conditioning, and supporting scalp balance without sulfates or harsh detergents.

Hairstory New Wash Original is a vegan, refillable 8 fl oz cleansing cream formulated to remove buildup while preserving your scalp's natural oils and hair texture. Instead of lathering like traditional shampoo, New Wash emulsifies into a milky rinse when mixed with water, leaving hair softer, color-preserved, and more manageable between washes. The formula centers on naturally derived oils and aloe vera, avoiding sulfates, silicones, parabens, and synthetic fragrance.

How does New Wash clean hair without traditional detergents?

New Wash uses mild, non-detergent cleansing agents and emollient oils to lift dirt and product residue without stripping the hair’s protective lipid layer. When activated with water it emulsifies into a creamy texture that rinses away grime while leaving conditioning agents behind.

• Detergent-free base prevents aggressive stripping of scalp oils
• Emulsifies with water into a milky rinse for gentle cleansing
• Jojoba and sunflower oils help dissolve buildup and condition strands
• Biodegradable and vegan ingredients for eco-conscious use

Will New Wash work on my hair type and color-treated hair?

The formula is designed for all hair textures—from fine and straight to thick and curly—and is safe for color-treated hair. Sunflower seed oil contributes antioxidants that help preserve color vibrancy while the conditioning base smooths frizz and supports natural shape and volume.

• Color-safe: gentle surfactants and antioxidant support
• Enhances natural texture: volume for flat hair, definition for curls
• Suitable for chemically treated and heat-styled hair
• No silicones or heavy waxes to weigh hair down

How do I use New Wash for best results?

Apply New Wash generously to wet hair from roots to ends, then add a splash of water and rub to activate the cream into a milky emulsion. Massage thoroughly with fingers or a scalp brush, let sit 2–3 minutes, then rinse completely—New Wash only cleans the areas it contacts, so be thorough for even results.

• Use on fully wet hair and coat evenly from scalp to tips
• Add water to emulsify; this step is essential
• Massage or use a scalp brush for effective removal of buildup
• Rinse thoroughly and repeat only if needed in very heavy buildup cases

What ingredients are in New Wash and what do they do?

New Wash blends conditioning oils and hydrating plant extracts to cleanse gently while nourishing hair and scalp. Key ingredients include jojoba seed oil, sunflower seed oil and aloe vera leaf juice, chosen to condition, protect color, and hydrate without synthetic fragrances or harsh preservatives.

• Jojoba seed oil: lightweight conditioning and scalp-friendly lipids
• Sunflower seed oil: antioxidant support to help protect color
• Aloe vera leaf juice: soothing hydration for scalp and strands
• Free from sulfates, SLS/SLES, parabens, silicones, phthalates

Who is this for: New Wash Original is aimed at people who want to simplify their routine by replacing shampoo and conditioner with a single, healthier wash; those avoiding sulfates and harsh detergents; anyone with color-treated, textured, or fine hair seeking longer-lasting cleanliness, softer feel, and improved manageability. It's especially useful for users wanting sustainable, refillable options and a gentler approach to scalp and hair care.
