HairStory Review

If your hair could tell your story, what would it say?

My hair would tell everyone how much money I spend on hair products each month and how many products I use on a daily basis. It may also complain about all the heat styling and coloring I do. Currently, my hair will be singing a different story every day. I am pregnant and my hormones are changing my scalp conditions constantly, one week I’m oily and the next I need major moisture. With the ever changing needs of my scalp I went looking for a new solution. Hello Hairstory!

Well, Hairstory New Wash is definitely a whole new way of washing and caring for your scalp. Have you ever thought about how dry your hands get after a good lathery hand soap cleaning. Well most shampoos are packed with surfactants, sodium laurel sulfate, that create the lather we all know, love, and think is doing a great job cleaning. However, just like our hands, we are drying our scalp and hair out. Most of us will then follow with a conditioner on the ends, to make our hair soft and not frizzy. But what about your scalp? Most people do not put conditioner on their scalp, I know I don’t or my hair will look super greasy almost immediately. This means regular shampoo leaves your scalp dry, like your hands after washing. Hairstory New Wash is a surfactant free, creamy, and conditioning cleansing lotion that will leave your scalp feeling quenched and your hair clean and smooth.

My favorite part of getting a haircut is the shampoo before. I will gladly give a big tip to the shampoo assistant to give my scalp a good rub down. This kind of scalp massage is how to use Hairstory’s New Wash. Hairstory also has a scalp brush to help scrub and cleanse, I just used my finger tips.

Since New Wash is a one step process, I do not feel like the adding the scalp massage takes any longer than my old shampoo and conditioner process. I like to evenly spread the New Wash through all my hair first. Then I scrub my scalp with my finger tips, while I do this the product is cleansing and breaking through dirt on the lengths of my hair. After that, I will lightly rub the lengths of my hair to make sure the New Wash touches everything. Lastly, with a wide tooth comb I’ll just make sure all the tangles are out, just like after applying and letting conditioner perpetrate my hair. New Wash air dries quickly and looks great without any additional products, but if you blow dry it’s extremely fast. My hair felt clean, smooth, and had volume. I did not use any other products on my hair, in order to see how the New Wash would handle styling.

The only other thing I use pretty religiously is dry shampoo to elongate the time between when I need to wash my hair. So I decided to give Hair Powder a try. I absolutely love the smell and it gives me good oil reduction between washes. However, I did notice Hairstory uses the Hair Powder as a styling texturizer in all of their promotional videos. I think my hair type is too long and heavy to use it to create volume and texture like they do. My hair is not layered enough nor do I have any natural texture or curl.

One of my favorite things about the Hair Powder is that this dry shampoo is not an aerosol. I am not sure how the bottle works, but lift the foldable nozzle, press down on the top, and it sends a puff of powder out. Since the nozzle folds closed it travels well. No accidental puffs in your bag or suitcase and no need to keep a cap, just in case.
