Hairstory New Wash Fragrance-Free Detergent-Free Shampoo & Conditioner, 8 fl oz Refillable — Gentle for Sensitive Scalp

New Wash Original from Hairstory is a fragrance‑free, detergent‑free cleansing cream that replaces both shampoo and conditioner in one gentle step.

Designed for people who need a truly unscented, low‑irritant routine, this non‑foaming formula cleanses, conditions and rebalances the scalp without sulfates, silicones, parabens, phthalates or synthetic fragrances. It uses emollients like jojoba and evening primrose oils plus aloe to remove buildup and leave strands softer while being safe for color‑treated hair and all textures from straight to coily.

How does New Wash clean without detergents or lather?

New Wash relies on a cream‑based emulsifying action rather than foaming surfactants. When water is added, the formula transforms into a milky lotion that lifts oil, styling residue and pollutants from hair and scalp so you can rinse them away.

• Activates by adding a splash of water to emulsify the creamy base.
• Targets only the areas it touches—work thoroughly through roots to ends.
• Leaves no harsh stripping, preserving natural oils and color.

Will this work for my hair type and color-treated strands?

Yes—New Wash is formulated to be versatile across textures and gentle on color. Fine hair gains volume without residue, while curly and coily textures get smoother, more manageable strands thanks to conditioning oils.

• Safe for color: non‑stripping ingredients help reduce oxidation and fading.
• Improves softness and reduces frizz for textured hair.
• Adds lightweight body to fine or limp hair without weighing it down.

How do I use New Wash for best results?

Apply generously to wet hair from scalp to ends, then add a splash of water to emulsify into a milky consistency—this activation step is essential. Massage thoroughly with fingers or a scalp brush, let sit 2–3 minutes, then rinse completely.

• Coat hair fully; New Wash cleans only where it contacts.
• Emulsify with water to activate cleansing and conditioning action.
• Use a scalp brush or fingertips for thorough distribution and gentle exfoliation.

Is this formula safe for sensitive skin and postpartum scalps?

Formulated without synthetic fragrance and common irritants, New Wash is intended for people who prefer minimal‑irritant products. It’s vegan, biodegradable and free from sulfates, silicones and parabens, which makes it suitable for many sensitive or reactive scalps.

• No synthetic fragrances, detergents, sulfates, parabens, silicones, or phthalates.
• Contains gentle botanical emollients—aloe, jojoba, evening primrose oil.
• Biodegradable and non‑toxic formulation designed for daily or as‑needed use.

Who this is for: New Wash Original is a good choice if you want a streamlined, fragrance‑free haircare routine that cleans and conditions in one step. It’s ideal for fragrance‑sensitive users, those with reactive scalps, people who color their hair, and anyone seeking a gentler alternative to foam‑based shampoos—across straight, wavy, curly and coily hair types. Follow the emulsify‑and‑rinse method for best performance, and refill the 8 fl oz bottle to reduce single‑use packaging.
