Interesting review..... My daughter is in her 20's and has struggled with dandruff since she was a child. We have tried many products over the years, and NOTHING got rid of her flakes. She tried Hair Story New Wash a couple months ago on the advice of her hair stylist friend, and her dandruff is FINALLY gone and her hair looks fantastic. So, we are big fans of this product!
I love this product too! Have tried so many others over the years, and nothing else has been able to take my waves and provide a natural healthy, lived in hair feel.
I’ve been using it for years and am a big fan too! I wonder how many times he used it. You don’t need to use the scalp brush- don’t complain about that lol. After being a consistent user I don’t need to wash my hair as much, literally 1-2 washes a week instead of what used to be every day.
Hairstylist here who uses New Wash at home and in salon. I LOVE IT! I will never go back to "Normal" shampoo/cond. I can say that the Deep formula is not my favorite, and those with super fine hair and oily scalp tend to have the hardest time dialing in how much to use, and which formula. I recommend trying the Original formula. For you, one and a half pumps, or the size of a small brussel sprout. When starting out, use more, and as your scalp normalizes, you can use less. Professional shampoo & conditioner is easily $60 here, and New Wash is around $40. Washing 3-4 x's a week, one step, I'm saving money!
I use the hairstory original and I absolutely love it!! Just don’t love the price. I have thick hair with natural waves,my hair is naturally dry… it works amazing on my hair.
I used Wen in the past. My hair is thick, long and curly. Wen's directions were for you to section out your hair to wash etc. I found it took a lot longer to wash my hair and I don't remember being overly impressed with the results. I didn't use it long. I also find hair care products to be expensive. I can't imagine spending $200 a month or more just in hair care alone. And when most of the bottle is water anyway, it really feels like a waste.
some people had balding from Wen. I suspected it was from getting bored of the slow, tedious sectioning massage & just went at it like a ferret in a henhouse
I used to use Wen. Then my hair started falling out in clumps. I switched over to another co-wash I bought for about $5 in the African hair section. Perfection. But it’s only useful for super dry hair.
The Wen infomercials always looked so appealing to the point I was tempted but I never purchased it. And I'm glad I didn't because I then saw lots of reviews online of people saying their hair was falling out! eeeeek! 😯 That said, I guess I'm fairly lucky as I can pretty much use anything on my hair, from budget to high-end and my hair is perfectly ok, despite me regularly bleaching it.
Thanks Wayne. I have seen some hairdressers (and other influencers) having codes for this product & stating how great it is. I trust your discernment more than theirs.😃I appreciate your honesty & will NOT be getting it.
I'm a hairstylist in the USA and I'd never suggest this product to anyone other than those with dense/ dry/ textured hair. Really...on anyone with short/ healthy hair and oily scalp I recommend never using conditioner on the scalp.
Ugh thank you! I was seeing it months ago advertised on instagram. I’m an ingredient list enthusiast and after reading the ingredient list it made me so angry, that they are glorifying this pretty basic conditioner as something revolutionary new…
I haven’t tried this one, tried Wenn back in the day as someone gave me their barely used order. TBH it sounds in many ways like a co-wash which is aimed at curly and Afro hair, and that they’re trying to market it to everyone - which definitely isn’t going to work. Co-washing works for us Curlie Gurlies & Guys because we, generally, have significantly dry hair and scalp.... it’s also why we can get away with leaving it longer between hair washes.
Wen was awful and made my scalp itch, look really dirty and it thinned out my thick curly hair. It went back to normal months later. Wen is the worst product I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. It’s why they have so many lawsuits against them.
@@reikiwithcary2682 like I said, haven’t tried it, and having finally found something that is working for me I’ve stopped paying attention to things like this unless someone I know and trust mentions them in some way. I was basing it off Wayne saying it reminded him of Wenn - which was a co-wash in all but name - and his and a friends description of the product. I’ve not actually seen any advertising for them, but I’m going to have to be very on top of this to make sure my Mother doesn’t spot one and decide it’s going to be her next big purchase from FB or a shopping channel and ends up in The Cupboard of Shame smh. And I thought it was Devacurl that was found to be full of woe? :)
@@45FOFA I remember it being too heavy/rich for my hair, so I only used it maybe twice? I’m so incredibly sorry for you, that it did such terrible damage to your hair and scalp. I know that I was extremely lucky that I used it so little and stopped before damage was caused. I know I made a joke about it earlier, but I do have several friends who were effected by Devacurl in the same way, and it’s had so many physical and psychological side effects for them.
I broke out in hives from this product ALL OVER MY BODY, I had to go to the doctor and they said the hives started on my scalp and the only product I used off my normal routine was this. This hives lasted nearly 2 months and I was on prescription strength antihistamines, completely miserable. Wouldn’t recommend this product to my worst enemy!
I started using Hairstory at the start of this year and I’m surprised with how much I like it. It did take me a little while to figure out how to work with it. I use the regular type on shoulder length hair and get an extra days wear per wash compared to my old shampoo. I totally agree with you about the dry shampoo- it’s horrible. And the fragrance is enough to give me a headache.
Hair Story New Wash totally cured my daughter's dandruff after years and years of trying many different products, none of which worked. I am SO thrilled to see her finally not be embarrassed about all the flakes in her hair....it has really helped her confidence. So happy she found this stuff!
Finally! Someone with oily hair is talking about the struggle! I am not sure how this happened but I have oily hair and dry skin. I have friends that wash their hair once a week, some of them twice. They keep trying to get me to buy these products that should extend the time between washes that just never work on my hair. My hair actually clumps up and somehow manages to look worse with the oil that is making it do this. I end up washing my hair more because I am constantly washing out all of these products? I finally just tell my said friends that it will not work and I am not spending another dime. I wish I could go a week without washing my hair every single day, it would at least extend the color I have on my hair, but since this is my reality, I just move on. Yes, products to take away my oil do not work and makes it feel dry and kind of plastic while at the same time clumping it together. Thank you, I feel vindicated now! ❤️
I have oily hair too and I've never had an issue with cowashes or cleansing conditioners. They've always make my hair and scalp feel clean. You do have to make sure you really work it into the scalp and use one of those scalp massagers. It really gets the product into the scalp and cleans it. Then you have to really scrub when you're rinsing to get it all out. It never made me be able to go longer between washes, but I always felt clean and my hair was always super soft
I tried Wen (the fig scented one) about 10 years ago. I have curly hair and I think it was marketed mostly toward folks like me. It didn’t work at all-my hair actually started falling out. On the plus side, I used it as a shaving cream for my legs and other odd bits, and it worked nicely that way. It was the most expensive but best smelling cream I’ve ever used…😉
It might have a different texture: I know that sounds crazy, but texture makes a massive difference on why something ends up at a dollar store or in a white label bulk buy for a chain store rebrand
I feel your pain. I tried WEN several years ago and my hair came out in clumps. I used the correct amount of recommended pumps and after my hair came out, I never tried that product again. WEN products were part of a class action suit, but I don't remember the outcome of that law suit.
So the issue with wen and other cowash type products is that it doesn't deep clean your scalp and hair follicles. So once a week or so you have to use a clarifying shampoo to clean the gunk out. This is the case with any shampoo product you use. You have to deep clean your scalp every so often. But if you use something like wen exclusively, you're never getting the follicles completely clean so product buildup occurs and they get clogged and your hair falls out. I love hairstory and other cleansing conditioners. I just have to make sure I use a clarifying shampoo every now and then since I have oily hair and gunk builds up
I discovered Oribe a few months ago, its like magic, genuinely transformed my hair. BUT the price tag is insane so I try to use as little as possible. However it is amazing, I dread running out!
@@flora4908 Hi! My hair is quite unruly and I found the gold lust shampoo, conditioner and oil works wonders like nothing ever before. The Royal Blowout is brilliant before blowdrying if your hair is unmanageable usually because it really smooths it out, the texturising spray in between washes is brilliant, better than dry shampoo. It is really expensive though so I really have to think which do I need most-and use it very sparingly. I mix the shampoo and conditioner with Olaplex to make it go further sometimes. But its a brilliant range and natural, so good if you suffer with sensitive skin/scalp like me, its just the price tag!
Crikey! OK so I’ve never got on with shampoo and conditioner in one. However, they are often good for cleaning makeup brushes. Not this one though, use cheapo Wash’n’Go 👍 Have a lovely weekend lovely Wayne! Lots of love ❤️ xxx
Never tried this, but tried Wen. At first I thought Wen was good.... UNTIL my hair started falling out!! At first I thought it was hormonal. Finally figured out it was WEN!! I tossed every Wen product I bought. Joined the class action lawsuit, which didn't amount to much $$ at all. I am very cautious what I use now. Thank you Wayne, for this wonderful video/review!!
I’m telling y’all, Redkin has a new acid shampoo and conditioner with a finishing cream. It’s AMAZING. I have thin, fine , oily hair. I LOVE this stuff. Transformed my hair. I was an OLAPLEX user forever, but it made my hair break off…
Thank you for this! I have super fine, thin, oily hair too. I was always jealous of people who could go days without washing. My hair is a grease ball after 12 hours! I was just getting ready to buy Olaplex, but now I will try the Redkin. Thank you so much!
Redken in general. I use their purple shampoo and conditioner, and then the one united multi-benefit treatment spray. My hair has completely turned around. I will ALWAYS recommend Redken, pricey but VERY effective.
I second this! The Redken acidic bonding line is amazing for fine, fragile hair! It’s probably great for all hair types to be honest- but I’m hard on my hair with heat and bleach- plus it is baby fine. This line has really made a difference for me.
OMG!!! I regret it so much buying this friggin product. This made my rosacea and dermatitis worse! I have been taking care of my scalp for like forever and the moment I was scammed by this, I had falling hair, my scalp was so red and itchy and flaky, it burns so much and it’s just horrible that I can’t even sleep. This happened in 2020 and until now I’m still in pain. I regret it so much that sometimes I wish they go out of business. Lol sorry but yeah! So not worth it. ✌🏼
Simplest (and cheapest) dry shampoo: corn starch. A small box from the grocery store lasts months, it doesn’t use excess packaging and chemicals or propellants and added scents like the stuff in a can, it’s incredibly absorbent and doesn’t leave white residue when dusted onto hair/scalp.
I love Hairstory New Wash. Not for everyone, I suppose it depends on what type of hair you have. I have very dry, coarse hair and this works well for me. I use a wet brush to massage in through my hair and also to help me get it out. I wash my hair 1-2x per week. I buy the largest size - I think it’s 32 ounces - and it lasts for months. Sounds like it’s a bad choice for oily hair.
@@TheCostaRio I have both the original and the rich and I love them both. My hair doesn’t feel coated or heavy. I think the wet brush really helps get all of the product out of the hair.
@@TracyD2 it’s really not, more like a cleansing conditioner. It doesn’t lather at all. When I think of cowashes I think of 2-1 shampoo/conditioners, which still lather and strip your hair. L’Oreal makes an inexpensive cleansing conditioner that I’ve always liked, which is somewhat similar. Hairstory’s products allow me to go longer between washes, though. And it’s much thicker than the L’Oreal product.
My cousin is a hairdresser. I have listened to so many rants about haircare misunderstandings and misinformation. She rolls her eyes and groans every time two in one stuff is mentioned. Basic chemistry says it won't work, she tells me. Something about shampoo "opening up" hair fibres, and conditioner "closing" them again because they have different PH levels; one is acidic, the other is basic. They do opposite things, according to her, and you will never get the same result if you mix them. As for having to wash your hair every day because it gets greasy every day, she's explained to me that if you wash every day, your scalp will produce more oil, to keep up with the cleaning. If you just clench your teeth and tolerate the grease, and start washing your hair every other day, or every third day, THEN your hair will eventually stay non-greasy for much longer. As long as you keep washing every day, you will never stop getting greasy that quickly either. The more often you wash it, the quicker it will produce oils. I wash my hair twice a week now. Used to wash it every second day. And yeah, there was a long period where I got as greasy as when I washed every second day, but after a while, the oil production and scalp irritation calmed down. My scalp is healthier and, ironically enough, less dry now when I wash less often.
Also not promoting it either, if your hair is very oily you might not like that or how long it might take your scalp if ever to adjust to produce less sebum.
I really want to start washing my hair every other day instead of every day. Is it okay if I use dry shampoo on the days when I endure the grease? Or would you suggest completely leaving my greasy hair alone?
I love this product. I have fine, long hair and have an oily scalp. My hair has never looked better. My hair is smooth, soft, looks amazing after using new wash and also looks healthy. I actually will never use a shampoo & conditioner again as my hair has never looked better. As long as you wash it out properly, which I don't find hard to do, shouldn't be an issue.
Same for my daughter. She uses this product, and her hair has never looked so good! She has struggled with major dandruff most of her life, but this stuff completely got rid of it. As her mom, I am SO glad she found this stuff....it has really improved her confidence.
Glad to read your comment. I bought this for my teenage daughter who struggles with oily hair. Did it take time for your hair to adjust? I’m wondering if she will have to struggle with greasy-looking hair before she sees the benefit of Hairstory. (I have ordered it but haven’t received it yet.)
@@Connie22771 No, it didn't. My hair loved it straight away. The key is to give it a good rinse. I can't go back to using a separate shampoo and conditioner, not too mention the time it saves me. My hair has never looked or felt better.
Thank you for this! Before you said it, I immediately thought of Wen. I too have an oily scalp and those conditioner and oil "washes" turn my hair into a grease factory.
I’ve used their Hair Balm for years, and I’m still obsessed with it. A tiny bit does the job, and a bottle lasts me four to six months 👍🏻. Just like any other brand, some products work better than others and work better on some hair types than others.
I have been using this for 6 months, I have fine hair and it makes my hair super full and shiny and encourages bounce. I use maybe 3 pumps and leave it in for a few minutes after massaging it through. I rinse way more thoroughly than with normal shampoo or conditioner. It doesn't fade my hair colour, so for me, so far, it's worth it
Co-washes are a no, no for your oily hair. Co-wash stands for conditioning wash and is made for curly/textured hair. The Melanin company makes a fantastic shampoo called African Black Soap Reviving Shampoo. The ingredients are GREAT and it’ll strip all of the gunk and oils out. It’s extremely clarifying, but with nice ingredients that are soothing to the scalp. I know because I use it. It’s a 16oz bottle, $24 US dollars and it’ll last forever. Just use a light conditioner afterwards. Good luck! Edit: I forgot to mention that I highly recommend you purchasing a fine tooth metal comb, such as a Nit comb. Work it through your hair while you have your shampoo on. You’ll be removing all of that dead skin from your scalp, drastically reducing itchiness. It works!
I used to use Wen. It took almost a month before my scalp got used to the product. I also bought multiple small bundles of different scents/ formulas until I found what worked best for my hair. I have long hair and would only use it on my scalp. However outside of freezing spray. I don't use a lot of styling products. For me Wen worked fine but I stopped using it bc I had lost my job and it was too costly for me to continue. When I went back to regular shampoo, I had the same problem where it took a month for my hair and scalp to readjust to a different product. I now only wash my hair maybe once or twice a week. Again I had really greasy hair by the 3rd day but after a month or so of washing it twice a week, I find the oil/ph balance is different and my hair doesn't get as greasy at the roots. And even though i don't wash my hair everyday, I do rinse it in the shower under cool water every other day and that seems to help my scalp feel refreshed. Outside of a deep conditioner once a week and Bio Silk on the length of my hair, not the scalp, after washing or rinsing, I don't use other hair products except a freezing spray hair spray. Hair spray dries out my roots with so it tends to not feel greasy and helps prolong a less greasy but full bodied look. Point is, it takes WEEKS to a MONTH or two before the oils of the pores and the ph balance of the scalp skin balance themselves out. Only now with washing my hair twice a week can I afford to spend money on high end products bc I use so little of it and it lasts me ages. Hope this helps anyone with an oily scalp when trying different methods of washing and conditioning. 🙂
Wayne, that’s so weird! I’ve been using this for years. I have semi-dry hair (not overly) and I wash every day just because I prefer to. I don’t even use the scalp scrubber - I use my fingers. And a pump and a half of product. And it works GREAT for me! 1.5 pumps for my chin length hair and 2.5 pumps when my hair is past my shoulders. I get compliments on my hair and my hair guy always says it still feels like it’s in good shape. I don’t use any other product most days.
I have the same experience as you. I think he’s using too much. I have THICK hair that’s way down my back. And I couldn’t imagine putting 3-5 pumps in!!
I have used New Wash for a few years now (my old favorite got discontinued). That said, I haven’t used traditional shampoo for almost 10 years now. The transition to a “no poo” is much longer than a week. It’s really closer to 4 weeks. It’s almost like your hair goes thru a weird puberty! 😅 Anyway, I don’t use their dry shampoo powder and I can still go several days on one “shampoo” of New Wash. The larger package lasts me longer than the 5 months autoship. If you decide to give it another go, stick with it for at least one month. The other aerosol dry shampoos can get you thru the transitional period.
I love it! Have been using it for two years.I am 67 years old and I use it every ten days,my salt and pepper hair is so shiny and looks great. All ‘good’ shampoo is the same price or more! The balm is great too imho . I’m searching now because I can’t find it! Maybe gone out of business? Btw in those two years I have only bought it twice.
Thank you so much for this! I have an extremely oily scalp and struggle to find a shampoo that doesn’t exacerbate my problem. Thank you so much for giving us true product reviews. 🤗
I bought Hairstory after being highly recommended by a professional, and it was awful. I kept thinking it would get better with use, as the directions insinuated, but it just coated my hair and it took me awhile after I stopped using it to get rid of the buildup. It was a $45 mistake for me.
The only "new" product I've recently tried is the K-18 leave-in mask. My hair is unprocessed, fine, white, and I'm over 55. I really like that I don't have to wash it out, it doesn't take much, and I can go longer between washes and my hair still look good. It is pricey though, and I've read of some people not liking it while obviously me and my friends do.
As you were describing how you used it and had to rinse it out and then dry your hair, I just thought....same as washing your hair once a day! You just used this product instead of shampoo. What a rip off.
I remember getting Wenn in a glossybox back in the day. Felt and looked like I had washed my hair with conditioner. Have stayed clear of similar products ever since..
thank you for telling this to people! and I hope the brand sees this. they should know that they CAN'T sell a mediocre conditioner for 44£ to anyone with a brain... nor a dry shampoo for over 10£ lol
OMG Wayne, I had the same problem with greasy hair. During the lockdown in my country in 2020 I decided to just stop washing it that often. What I did was that I started washing my hair once a week. It looked awful, but I kept my resolve to break the cycle so I kept my hair tied in a bun when it was greasy. We were in lockdown for two or three month so I did this once a week washing routine throughout the whole lockdown period. Now my hair gets greasy like about 1 cm in length from the scalp starting the sixth day. I have never used dry shampoo on it or any other products other than regular shampoo (the main one is Le Petit Marseilles for oily scalp for the first round of washing and after rinsing I alternate other different shampoos for colour some days, for volume some other days, etc.). In conclusion my hair looks really good and healthy even tho my type of hair is thin. Also another good thing that happened, it stopped falling. 😁
I love Wen….. it’s so hard to find and the price is outrageous when you do!! If it were available…. I would happily buy and use it ♥️ I have super dry/ long/ curly hair
I used New Wash back when it first came out. it didn’t have a scalp brush at that point. I HATED IT! I gave it a fair shake. it was horrible. i’m surprised they’re still in business. 🙄😱 I recently tried Native shampoo/ conditioner, 9.00 a bottle, minimal ingredients and I kinda really like it 😀
I bought Diva Curl thinking I could coax my wavy hair into not having to curl it every day. My hair was break off. Just snapping off. My hair stylist thought it was my Dyson Hair dryer and told me to stop using it. Well that is a pricey hair dryer and I love it. So I tried to figure out what I changed besides that. I opened my cabinet a few days later and saw the Deva Curl. I started researching it and sure enough there were tons of videos about the Diva Curl causing massive hair loss and breakage. I stopped using it immediately, kept using my Dyson and next visit to my stylist 6 weeks later, she asked what i did because my hair was so much better. I told her I threw away the Diva Curl and went back to my Lanza Trauma Treatment after washing and my hair was back.
It’s called a cowash and curly hair people have been using products like this for years and years. You can get the as I am cowash at your local drug store for around $10 USD. Cowashes won’t work for everyone. And there’s definitely no need to spend that much on one!!! Yikers. I have dry, curly hair. I wash my hair about once a week with a cowash, and once a month with a regular shampoo. Works great for me. Probably wouldn’t work so great for people with oily, straight hair though!
Omg, what a mess! I use that Batiste for Blondes as a dry shampoo as well and it does work pretty well and very reasonably priced. I put it on at night so residue wears away as I sleep. Or, after I use it, I spray a bit of hairspray on a brush and run it through my hair and it helps remove powdery residue.
I have contemplated buying this product as it is often advertised to me, but never taken the plunge because of the ridiculous price point. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this review! I love honest reviews that I can trust and you have saved me from waisting my money on this scam.
I used this for several months and my hair and scalp loved it. To each his own. I’m a product junkie so I generally move on even when I love something but I would use this again. I also have a very oily scalp and face. It gave my thin, curly hair a lot more volume after it got used to it. No, it’s not cheap but it’s not a trash product.
Wow! What a horrible product! How they’re getting away with charging so much for any of those products is beyond me. I haven’t even ever heard of this brand let alone try it, but I certainly won’t be trying it now. I don’t mind paying a bit extra for shampoo and conditioner if they work. Right. Now I’m using Matrix Biolage Color Last shampoo and conditioner and I really like them. I am not oily at all. But also not too dry. I only wash my hair about once a week and use the dry shampoo in between washes. I use the Batiste as well. I really like it. Sorry you wasted your money on those hair products but thank you for showing us and doing a review. I value your opinion and look forward to your videos. Keep on shining! ❤️🌟💫
Lol yep. We have the same hair except mine is mid back and super thick. I like you get so tired of washing daily that you get desperate. I can’t tell you how many different shampoos and methods I’ve tried. There’s one that I’ve been using for months now and still love it called under Luna. It really transformed my hair I hope you try it out. I went from needing to wash daily to I can go a week with the help of dry shampoo. Without it, about day 4 I need to wash again. It’s pricier than say your average shampoo but it’s very concentrated and wayyyy cheaper than hairstory and the like. I use the warrior shampoo and the serenity conditioner. There’s also lighter conditioner as well since you don’t need it for the length. If you try it I so would love to hear your thoughts! Hope this helps ❤️
This is the only video of yours Im actually wetting myself laughing 🤣🤣🤣 "I do not have hair down to here 👱🏼♀️"my hair felt Vile" ☠🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm actually lying needing resuscitated 😆🤪😝
I tried a dry shampoo - Klorane - and it burned my scalp. I’m not sure why as it is supposed to be mild. I don’t think it was user error (I didn’t get closer than the recommended 6 inches) and I have used other dry shampoos without issue. I just like to try new things once in a while. Not so much anymore! So I can commiserate with you when a product is hugely disappointing.
thank you !!!! just bought this … and it was a nightmare ! I had to re wash my hair and it was still looking terrible ! I could not believe I had bought this ! stupid … I reached out to them and told them it was HONESTLY not good at all … and that the fact that they dare to say it’s the new revolutionary product for your hair was just wrong ! their answer was unclear and very bizarre but the name is right : NO wash .., at all ! thank you for your videos i’ve discovered you during pandemic and lock down in paris , and you have been since then a big part of my life 🙏🏻
I used Wen for years, and although I didn't personally have any issues with it, I stopped using it when there were reports of hair loss. However, I haven't really found anything that hydrates my hair like that product (the more expensive 'seasonal' types, not the basic sweet almond oil), and I still have bottles left, so I'm going to use them up and also see if that will leave my hair in better condition. As info, I'm 61 with colored hair that is wavy when hydrated, but leans dry with the wrong products.
Ohh yeah so the "deep" tends to leave fine hair (like mine!) greasy for some reason. I think it might be because of the amount used. If I use less (like much less, probably 1 it 3 pumps for your length), it washes out better and not greasy. The original works much better for fine hair, but then you need to use the full recommended amount. I adore lift, undressed AND the powder (it gives me great volume). But the prices are.... Whew. I wash my hair once or twice a week though, so I get more mileage out of it. ALSO New wash has gotten rid of the cradle cap on both of my kiddos in 1-2 applications. And.... I love the smell of DEEP. LOVE it.
When this company started, the hair cleanser was called "Purely Perfect Cleansing Cream," & it worked great on my oily-by-the-evening-of-the-morning-washed oily hair. Then they changed the formula & changed the name to Hairstory. That product did not get the oil out of my hair. This new version, "New Wash Deep," is not nearly as good as the original "Purely Perfect Cleansing Cream," in my case. The ONLY advantage for me is that I do not have to lather 3 (t-h-r-e-e) separate times plus conditioner in the shower every morning. The Augustinus Bader hair system works well for me, but it takes sooo long each day. As for the New Deep Wash, I have put it into a 10-hole squeeze bottle & squeeze it onto my scalp - so that I don't waste so much. My hair is OK; it is my scalp that needs de-greasing. I don't know.
Cowash is usually for dry and curly or coily hair and even then people don’t usually use just any hair styling products they want. You have to make sure there isn’t silicones and other residue builders in the styling products because cowash isn’t strong enough to wash those away. Like wax or pomade is not gonna be properly removed with a cleansing conditioner. I don’t know anything about this brand but I’ve heard other cowashes can be good.
I was afraid to use New Wash at first because it looked like a thick conditioner. I used it anyway and was surprised at how well my hair looked. I have long hair and only need a pump and a half. And I have an oily scalp. The only thing i don't like about New Wash is the price. It is wayyyyy over priced. I will finish using the rest of it, but will only purchase it on rare occasions. Just too pricey.
I can see why people have trouble with New Wash if they don't already use clean beauty products shampoo bars. Since it's primarily oil/butter based your scalp undergoes a transition period where it gets oily at first and then your oil reserves sort of balance out; that's when you can wash less often. The other problem is that people don't brush their hair more and move those scalp oils around and get healthy circulation; possibly another reason the scalp over produces oil. I wonder if you just rinsed your hair every other day instead of washing if that would help?
I'm the same. Hair so oily I shampoo every day. I used to hate hairdressers telling me I washed my hair too often and that I needed to only wash my hair a few times a week. Ok. Took their advice and only washed it once in 2weeks, so my hair could adjust to the new routine. The result. Hair so greasy you could fry chips on it. Scalp encrusted with thick sebum and so itchy I couldn't sleep at night. I kept up a new routine of washing my hair only twice a week. I swear they doll out this ridiculous advice after reading it in their hairdressing modules at College. Tried different shampoos, conditioning only the bottom of the hair, you name it. How did I solve my problem? Washing my freaking hair EVERY day. I still have to, and I'm in my fifties..
Wow. WAY over priced, even if it worked- and that scalp brush, or variations, can be found very cheaply almost anywhere. About oil/greasy hair- I know this sounds counter intuitive, but have you tried using straight jojoba oil as a pre-wash "conditioner?" I love it on my scalp and hair and often put it in the night before (and wear a cap to protect my pillow) and then wash it out in the morning. I've read it's the closest plant oil to our own sebum. I use it on my face nearly every day, massage it in thoroughly and then wash lightly with Cerave moisturizing face wash. It's a great combination for me. I have a dry scalp, though, and an oily face but it seems to help both conditions. Anyway. Love your videos! And your glasses are so freaking good on you! Seriously "hot professor" vibes all over the place. :)
So funny ypu didn't like it, I loved it, as does Trinny and Hannah Louise Poston. But it's the other way. The deep/to h is for dry hsir,the original is for oily hair. The brush,is great weather you use the product or not. Hannah has a YT video up on how to use it. It's really for longer drier hair.
I would love to talk more about this with you! A lot of people have issues because they don’t use the right amount. 5 pumps is toooooo much for you hair! You also have to leave it in for a little bit to work.
I actually really like this product, but I use the regular, not the deep. Deep is way too heavy. You have to rinse it longer than you’d think. I just use a cheap scrubby tool I got from the drugstore. The effect is second day hair, which I like.
For dry shampoo m'Chel Day After is the best I've tried! They have an innovative applicator. No starches in the product. It is silica based and only absorbs the scalp oil without leaving the hair dry. Smells really good (some type of essential oil mix not over powering). Gives great volume too. Initiall purchase is a but pricey however I had my first purchase before my refill last me over 5 months.
The price is indeed wackkk, but the rich works brilliantly on my bleached out hair. Few drops of crazy color to keep the brassiness away is a dream combo.
I’ve used Wen and I like it, it’s just really expensive! I have fine hair and it gets oily fast so I have to wash every day. Wen was basically like using a shampoo conditioner combo except when I use normal 2 in 1 they leave my hair too dry. So I like cleansing conditioners but they don’t cut down on how often I have to wash my hair. It just basically saves me the step of shampooing. I can get the same result from shampoo then conditioner plus a tiny bit of hair oil applied to the ends and worked through the hair as I comb it out. My hair breaks really easily so the hair oil helps me comb it out with less breakage than if I didn’t use it and I haven’t found that using hair oil makes my scalp get oily any faster. Thanks for the review. I’m back to using shampoo and conditioner from the drug store these days. Actually, I’m using Head & Shoulders 2 in 1 Green Apple scent and Garnier Fructis Grow Strong conditioner, which also smells like apples. I love this combo cuz my hair has an awesome apple scent and its much cheaper than Wen’s Kids Apple cleanser!
@@AnnieBoBannie421 It’s definitely still available. QVC sells it and I think Chaz Dean still sells it directly too. Unless you’re outside of the US. I don’t know if it’s available outside the US. There was a lawsuit but I looked into it and it doesn’t make sense to me that anyone’s hair loss would be caused by a shampoo. So it’s not been pulled from shelves or anything. I think they settled the lawsuit. But I’m happy with my current (much cheaper) products anyway!
I use hair story at the recommendation of my stylist who specializes in curly and textured hair. It works fantastic for me and other people with curls and texture. It's not meant for flat hair.
You're absolutely right :) the only issue I have is that its recommend for all hair types on the website. everyone can benefit from it. Unless you have lack, thin greasy hair it would seem! Its just a shame they didn't mention that! haha
Tried the product did not live up to expectation I tried air drying my hair and the frizz was ridiculous not worth the money I agree I do love the brush to use with shampoo
I have oily hair too, and it was so incredibly oily the WHOLE time I used this stuff. I went off of conditioner for ages, thinking my hair was just too oily for conditioner - it isn't. I use conditioner every day now. It was literally just New Wash. Never again!
It’s Amazing and totally fixed my hair. I love the Hair Story Rich❤ I guess it’s amazing for hair that isn’t greasy. Also, ridiculous for someone with so little hair to use so much. I have long hair and a palmful is a more than I need. I’ll Never go back to regular shampoo.
I use Biolog for color treated hair. For me it's just the best. But for all the other stuff I need because it's thin and fine and thin And Finer is any product from Wayne's Goss or from The makeover Guy.
I wish I'd seen this. I got this crap a few weeks ago. I have fine, thin brittle hair. It left my hair so matted and after 2 washes my hair was literally falling out from the roots and I had to get a haircut. Ridiculous product, ridiculous price. Their customer service told me I have silicones in my hair and that's why. I also told them they needed to include some honest reviews to which they replied that they outsource for reviews and the reviews are nothing to do with them 😂😂😂😂 It's completely untrue, I haven't used anything with silicones for over 2 years. I also got the balm for moisture which is actually the best hair dehydrator I've ever used. I'm returning this rubbish asap. Edited to say I since brought the Sachuan scalp cleanser and it's magnificent. My hair condition is getting better and stronger with this product and it's half the price for twice as much product.
I like that Batiste blonde dry shampoo. Just wish they would make a lighter one less yellow than this. All my scalp problems vanished with the dry shampoo as I can reduce my hair washing to just twice a week. Made such a difference
Favorite Dry shampoos whose smell isn't overpowering: not your mother's, R + Co, and Amika. I haven't tried living proof but I have been happy with all of their products I've tried. I just don't think cleansing conditioners work for fine blond hair that looks oily after a day. I've tried too. Maybe if you used only that for months so your scalp gets used to it? But who has months where they can just look like crap all the time. 😁
For my extremely oily scalp, Living Proof dry shampoo s the best out there. I can't use it because it has fragrance & I have allergy-induced-asthma, but I wish I could!
I never tried Wen but it sounds similar. Me, I found my HG shampoo and conditioner duo - I love INNERSENSE - both the moisturizing hair bath line and the daily line, depending on the weather. I only wash maybe twice a week and wash the other days with just a thick conditioner product from my local salon that's all natural. I have curly hair.
Sounds like you used a lot of it! Were you rinsing it well enough? I have fine thin hair, and I wash my hair once a week using hair story and I love it and it’s so soft.
Due to seborric dermatitis I use probiotic shampoo, and glycolic acid to get rid of build up. My hair can be greasy within 36 hours. This sounds more suited to drier hair types.
@@WayneGoss Hi Wayne! It is an awful condition. I have been using the glycolic and salicylic acid scalp treatments by The Inkey List. They help with scalp build up a bit. It can also help to avoid product in your hair if you can. The shampoo is by Hermz. It's called H+P Shampoo (hemp oil and probiotics). It helps with the itching. I got it on Amazon.
I usted it, it took me at least 3 weeks to really get into the cleaning and balance status. Finally my hair is better but I almost used it all and yes it is very expensive, don’t think will buy it again.
At first it worked quite well for me but only if I left it on 5 mins before rinsing off. Strangely after several months it worked less and less well and I gave up on it. I too thought the dry shampoo was absolutely awful
Good heavens. My favourite shampoo costs 89 Euro Cents for 200 ml, it cleans beautifully and easily without drying the hair. It is also unscented and non-irritating. What more would I need to clean my hair?
Interesting review..... My daughter is in her 20's and has struggled with dandruff since she was a child. We have tried many products over the years, and NOTHING got rid of her flakes. She tried Hair Story New Wash a couple months ago on the advice of her hair stylist friend, and her dandruff is FINALLY gone and her hair looks fantastic. So, we are big fans of this product!
I love this product too! Have tried so many others over the years, and nothing else has been able to take my waves and provide a natural healthy, lived in hair feel.
I only need to wash once or twice a week
I’ve been using it for years and am a big fan too! I wonder how many times he used it.
You don’t need to use the scalp brush- don’t complain about that lol.
After being a consistent user I don’t need to wash my hair as much, literally 1-2 washes a week instead of what used to be every day.
Hairstylist here who uses New Wash at home and in salon. I LOVE IT! I will never go back to "Normal" shampoo/cond. I can say that the Deep formula is not my favorite, and those with super fine hair and oily scalp tend to have the hardest time dialing in how much to use, and which formula. I recommend trying the Original formula. For you, one and a half pumps, or the size of a small brussel sprout. When starting out, use more, and as your scalp normalizes, you can use less. Professional shampoo & conditioner is easily $60 here, and New Wash is around $40. Washing 3-4 x's a week, one step, I'm saving money!
I use the hairstory original and I absolutely love it!! Just don’t love the price. I have thick hair with natural waves,my hair is naturally dry… it works amazing on my hair.
I used Wen in the past. My hair is thick, long and curly. Wen's directions were for you to section out your hair to wash etc. I found it took a lot longer to wash my hair and I don't remember being overly impressed with the results. I didn't use it long. I also find hair care products to be expensive. I can't imagine spending $200 a month or more just in hair care alone. And when most of the bottle is water anyway, it really feels like a waste.
some people had balding from Wen. I suspected it was from getting bored of the slow, tedious sectioning massage & just went at it like a ferret in a henhouse
I used to use Wen. Then my hair started falling out in clumps. I switched over to another co-wash I bought for about $5 in the African hair section. Perfection. But it’s only useful for super dry hair.
The Wen infomercials always looked so appealing to the point I was tempted but I never purchased it. And I'm glad I didn't because I then saw lots of reviews online of people saying their hair was falling out! eeeeek! 😯
That said, I guess I'm fairly lucky as I can pretty much use anything on my hair, from budget to high-end and my hair is perfectly ok, despite me regularly bleaching it.
Thanks Wayne. I have seen some hairdressers (and other influencers) having codes for this product & stating how great it is. I trust your discernment more than theirs.😃I appreciate your honesty & will NOT be getting it.
I'm a hairstylist in the USA and I'd never suggest this product to anyone other than those with dense/ dry/ textured hair. Really...on anyone with short/ healthy hair and oily scalp I recommend never using conditioner on the scalp.
Ugh thank you! I was seeing it months ago advertised on instagram. I’m an ingredient list enthusiast and after reading the ingredient list it made me so angry, that they are glorifying this pretty basic conditioner as something revolutionary new…
I haven’t tried this one, tried Wenn back in the day as someone gave me their barely used order. TBH it sounds in many ways like a co-wash which is aimed at curly and Afro hair, and that they’re trying to market it to everyone - which definitely isn’t going to work. Co-washing works for us Curlie Gurlies & Guys because we, generally, have significantly dry hair and scalp.... it’s also why we can get away with leaving it longer between hair washes.
Loosely curly haired gal here... nope! HairStory is nothing but a gigantic tale of woe!
Wen was awful and made my scalp itch, look really dirty and it thinned out my thick curly hair. It went back to normal months later. Wen is the worst product I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. It’s why they have so many lawsuits against them.
@@reikiwithcary2682 like I said, haven’t tried it, and having finally found something that is working for me I’ve stopped paying attention to things like this unless someone I know and trust mentions them in some way. I was basing it off Wayne saying it reminded him of Wenn - which was a co-wash in all but name - and his and a friends description of the product. I’ve not actually seen any advertising for them, but I’m going to have to be very on top of this to make sure my Mother doesn’t spot one and decide it’s going to be her next big purchase from FB or a shopping channel and ends up in The Cupboard of Shame smh.
And I thought it was Devacurl that was found to be full of woe? :)
@@45FOFA I remember it being too heavy/rich for my hair, so I only used it maybe twice?
I’m so incredibly sorry for you, that it did such terrible damage to your hair and scalp. I know that I was extremely lucky that I used it so little and stopped before damage was caused. I know I made a joke about it earlier, but I do have several friends who were effected by Devacurl in the same way, and it’s had so many physical and psychological side effects for them.
I thought the same. I co wash. Massively improved my hair s curl pattern
I broke out in hives from this product ALL OVER MY BODY, I had to go to the doctor and they said the hives started on my scalp and the only product I used off my normal routine was this. This hives lasted nearly 2 months and I was on prescription strength antihistamines, completely miserable. Wouldn’t recommend this product to my worst enemy!
The product isn't at fault. You're just allergic to something in it.
I started using Hairstory at the start of this year and I’m surprised with how much I like it. It did take me a little while to figure out how to work with it. I use the regular type on shoulder length hair and get an extra days wear per wash compared to my old shampoo. I totally agree with you about the dry shampoo- it’s horrible. And the fragrance is enough to give me a headache.
I love hairstory. I can't afford to use it on the regular. But when I do use it, my hair feels really clean and soft.
Hair Story New Wash totally cured my daughter's dandruff after years and years of trying many different products, none of which worked. I am SO thrilled to see her finally not be embarrassed about all the flakes in her hair....it has really helped her confidence. So happy she found this stuff!
Finally! Someone with oily hair is talking about the struggle! I am not sure how this happened but I have oily hair and dry skin. I have friends that wash their hair once a week, some of them twice. They keep trying to get me to buy these products that should extend the time between washes that just never work on my hair. My hair actually clumps up and somehow manages to look worse with the oil that is making it do this. I end up washing my hair more because I am constantly washing out all of these products? I finally just tell my said friends that it will not work and I am not spending another dime. I wish I could go a week without washing my hair every single day, it would at least extend the color I have on my hair, but since this is my reality, I just move on. Yes, products to take away my oil do not work and makes it feel dry and kind of plastic while at the same time clumping it together. Thank you, I feel vindicated now! ❤️
I have oily hair too and I've never had an issue with cowashes or cleansing conditioners. They've always make my hair and scalp feel clean. You do have to make sure you really work it into the scalp and use one of those scalp massagers. It really gets the product into the scalp and cleans it. Then you have to really scrub when you're rinsing to get it all out. It never made me be able to go longer between washes, but I always felt clean and my hair was always super soft
I tried Wen (the fig scented one) about 10 years ago. I have curly hair and I think it was marketed mostly toward folks like me. It didn’t work at all-my hair actually started falling out. On the plus side, I used it as a shaving cream for my legs and other odd bits, and it worked nicely that way. It was the most expensive but best smelling cream I’ve ever used…😉
Love it on my fine thick hair. I've been using it for a couple of years now and I have no comlaints.
This is always advertised to me on Instagram and I thought it looked like a scam. I see I was right! Thanks for letting us know.
Actually he put out a video about a year after this one saying he was wrong. It’s the absolute best thing I’ve done for my hair.
That spiky massager thingy is in our local £ shop for ....£1
It might have a different texture: I know that sounds crazy, but texture makes a massive difference on why something ends up at a dollar store or in a white label bulk buy for a chain store rebrand
I feel your pain. I tried WEN several years ago and my hair came out in clumps. I used the correct amount of recommended pumps and after my hair came out, I never tried that product again. WEN products were part of a class action suit, but I don't remember the outcome of that law suit.
So the issue with wen and other cowash type products is that it doesn't deep clean your scalp and hair follicles. So once a week or so you have to use a clarifying shampoo to clean the gunk out. This is the case with any shampoo product you use. You have to deep clean your scalp every so often. But if you use something like wen exclusively, you're never getting the follicles completely clean so product buildup occurs and they get clogged and your hair falls out. I love hairstory and other cleansing conditioners. I just have to make sure I use a clarifying shampoo every now and then since I have oily hair and gunk builds up
I discovered Oribe a few months ago, its like magic, genuinely transformed my hair. BUT the price tag is insane so I try to use as little as possible. However it is amazing, I dread running out!
Which product did you like?
@@flora4908 Hi! My hair is quite unruly and I found the gold lust shampoo, conditioner and oil works wonders like nothing ever before. The Royal Blowout is brilliant before blowdrying if your hair is unmanageable usually because it really smooths it out, the texturising spray in between washes is brilliant, better than dry shampoo. It is really expensive though so I really have to think which do I need most-and use it very sparingly. I mix the shampoo and conditioner with Olaplex to make it go further sometimes. But its a brilliant range and natural, so good if you suffer with sensitive skin/scalp like me, its just the price tag!
@@ViridiansDragons Thank you!
Crikey! OK so I’ve never got on with shampoo and conditioner in one. However, they are often good for cleaning makeup brushes. Not this one though, use cheapo Wash’n’Go 👍 Have a lovely weekend lovely Wayne! Lots of love ❤️ xxx
Never tried this, but tried Wen. At first I thought Wen was good.... UNTIL my hair started falling out!! At first I thought it was hormonal. Finally figured out it was WEN!! I tossed every Wen product I bought. Joined the class action lawsuit, which didn't amount to much $$ at all. I am very cautious what I use now. Thank you Wayne, for this wonderful video/review!!
I’m telling y’all, Redkin has a new acid shampoo and conditioner with a finishing cream. It’s AMAZING. I have thin, fine , oily hair. I LOVE this stuff. Transformed my hair. I was an OLAPLEX user forever, but it made my hair break off…
Ooh thank you for that tip.😊 I’ll see if I can find some in U.K.
Thank you for this! I have super fine, thin, oily hair too. I was always jealous of people who could go days without washing. My hair is a grease ball after 12 hours! I was just getting ready to buy Olaplex, but now I will try the Redkin. Thank you so much!
Redken in general. I use their purple shampoo and conditioner, and then the one united multi-benefit treatment spray. My hair has completely turned around. I will ALWAYS recommend Redken, pricey but VERY effective.
I second this! The Redken acidic bonding line is amazing for fine, fragile hair! It’s probably great for all hair types to be honest- but I’m hard on my hair with heat and bleach- plus it is baby fine. This line has really made a difference for me.
We’re you just using Olaplex or just occasionally? It should not be used often .
OMG!!! I regret it so much buying this friggin product. This made my rosacea and dermatitis worse! I have been taking care of my scalp for like forever and the moment I was scammed by this, I had falling hair, my scalp was so red and itchy and flaky, it burns so much and it’s just horrible that I can’t even sleep. This happened in 2020 and until now I’m still in pain. I regret it so much that sometimes I wish they go out of business. Lol sorry but yeah! So not worth it. ✌🏼
Jeebus! I hope it's sorted, BD
Simplest (and cheapest) dry shampoo: corn starch. A small box from the grocery store lasts months, it doesn’t use excess packaging and chemicals or propellants and added scents like the stuff in a can, it’s incredibly absorbent and doesn’t leave white residue when dusted onto hair/scalp.
I love Hairstory New Wash. Not for everyone, I suppose it depends on what type of hair you have. I have very dry, coarse hair and this works well for me. I use a wet brush to massage in through my hair and also to help me get it out. I wash my hair 1-2x per week. I buy the largest size - I think it’s 32 ounces - and it lasts for months. Sounds like it’s a bad choice for oily hair.
Agreed :)
Seems like it’s a cowash to me.
Do you use the “rich” version or the regular one? Does your hair feel coated?
@@TheCostaRio I have both the original and the rich and I love them both. My hair doesn’t feel coated or heavy. I think the wet brush really helps get all of the product out of the hair.
@@TracyD2 it’s really not, more like a cleansing conditioner. It doesn’t lather at all. When I think of cowashes I think of 2-1 shampoo/conditioners, which still lather and strip your hair. L’Oreal makes an inexpensive cleansing conditioner that I’ve always liked, which is somewhat similar. Hairstory’s products allow me to go longer between washes, though. And it’s much thicker than the L’Oreal product.
That sounds like Monat!! It made people's hair mat up and fall out! Lawsuits galore!
"it's just detoxing hun"
Lol cracks me up MLM Huns trying to explain it away as “your hair is detoxifying” lmfao hair doesn’t do that.
My cousin is a hairdresser. I have listened to so many rants about haircare misunderstandings and misinformation. She rolls her eyes and groans every time two in one stuff is mentioned. Basic chemistry says it won't work, she tells me. Something about shampoo "opening up" hair fibres, and conditioner "closing" them again because they have different PH levels; one is acidic, the other is basic. They do opposite things, according to her, and you will never get the same result if you mix them.
As for having to wash your hair every day because it gets greasy every day, she's explained to me that if you wash every day, your scalp will produce more oil, to keep up with the cleaning. If you just clench your teeth and tolerate the grease, and start washing your hair every other day, or every third day, THEN your hair will eventually stay non-greasy for much longer. As long as you keep washing every day, you will never stop getting greasy that quickly either.
The more often you wash it, the quicker it will produce oils.
I wash my hair twice a week now. Used to wash it every second day. And yeah, there was a long period where I got as greasy as when I washed every second day, but after a while, the oil production and scalp irritation calmed down.
My scalp is healthier and, ironically enough, less dry now when I wash less often.
Agree, both my daughter and niece are hairdressers and they agree with your cousin. Washing your hair every day makes it greasier quicker.
Totally agree with everything you wrote. Spot on!
Wayne is a veracious speaker of truth.
Also not promoting it either, if your hair is very oily you might not like that or how long it might take your scalp if ever to adjust to produce less sebum.
I really want to start washing my hair every other day instead of every day. Is it okay if I use dry shampoo on the days when I endure the grease? Or would you suggest completely leaving my greasy hair alone?
I love this product. I have fine, long hair and have an oily scalp. My hair has never looked better. My hair is smooth, soft, looks amazing after using new wash and also looks healthy. I actually will never use a shampoo & conditioner again as my hair has never looked better. As long as you wash it out properly, which I don't find hard to do, shouldn't be an issue.
Same for my daughter. She uses this product, and her hair has never looked so good! She has struggled with major dandruff most of her life, but this stuff completely got rid of it. As her mom, I am SO glad she found this stuff....it has really improved her confidence.
Glad to read your comment. I bought this for my teenage daughter who struggles with oily hair. Did it take time for your hair to adjust? I’m wondering if she will have to struggle with greasy-looking hair before she sees the benefit of Hairstory. (I have ordered it but haven’t received it yet.)
@@Connie22771 No, it didn't. My hair loved it straight away. The key is to give it a good rinse. I can't go back to using a separate shampoo and conditioner, not too mention the time it saves me. My hair has never looked or felt better.
@@stewiecountry I agree Melissa, I can never go back to using a traditional shampoo & conditioner. New wash is awesome!
I'm only part way through but HOW MUCH?!?!
Thank you for this! Before you said it, I immediately thought of Wen. I too have an oily scalp and those conditioner and oil "washes" turn my hair into a grease factory.
I’ve used their Hair Balm for years, and I’m still obsessed with it. A tiny bit does the job, and a bottle lasts me four to six months 👍🏻. Just like any other brand, some products work better than others and work better on some hair types than others.
I have been using this for 6 months, I have fine hair and it makes my hair super full and shiny and encourages bounce. I use maybe 3 pumps and leave it in for a few minutes after massaging it through. I rinse way more thoroughly than with normal shampoo or conditioner. It doesn't fade my hair colour, so for me, so far, it's worth it
Co-washes are a no, no for your oily hair. Co-wash stands for conditioning wash and is made for curly/textured hair. The Melanin company makes a fantastic shampoo called African Black Soap Reviving Shampoo. The ingredients are GREAT and it’ll strip all of the gunk and oils out. It’s extremely clarifying, but with nice ingredients that are soothing to the scalp. I know because I use it. It’s a 16oz bottle, $24 US dollars and it’ll last forever. Just use a light conditioner afterwards. Good luck!
Edit: I forgot to mention that I highly recommend you purchasing a fine tooth metal comb, such as a Nit comb. Work it through your hair while you have your shampoo on. You’ll be removing all of that dead skin from your scalp, drastically reducing itchiness. It works!
I used to use Wen. It took almost a month before my scalp got used to the product. I also bought multiple small bundles of different scents/ formulas until I found what worked best for my hair. I have long hair and would only use it on my scalp. However outside of freezing spray. I don't use a lot of styling products. For me Wen worked fine but I stopped using it bc I had lost my job and it was too costly for me to continue.
When I went back to regular shampoo, I had the same problem where it took a month for my hair and scalp to readjust to a different product. I now only wash my hair maybe once or twice a week. Again I had really greasy hair by the 3rd day but after a month or so of washing it twice a week, I find the oil/ph balance is different and my hair doesn't get as greasy at the roots. And even though i don't wash my hair everyday, I do rinse it in the shower under cool water every other day and that seems to help my scalp feel refreshed.
Outside of a deep conditioner once a week and Bio Silk on the length of my hair, not the scalp, after washing or rinsing, I don't use other hair products except a freezing spray hair spray. Hair spray dries out my roots with so it tends to not feel greasy and helps prolong a less greasy but full bodied look.
Point is, it takes WEEKS to a MONTH or two before the oils of the pores and the ph balance of the scalp skin balance themselves out. Only now with washing my hair twice a week can I afford to spend money on high end products bc I use so little of it and it lasts me ages.
Hope this helps anyone with an oily scalp when trying different methods of washing and conditioning. 🙂
Wayne , you and Smith Deepak are my favourites and the only MUAs who I follow . You’re amazing Wayne and honest ! ❤️
That product was a game changer for my abundant fine hair. Love, love love it!!!!
Wayne, that’s so weird! I’ve been using this for years. I have semi-dry hair (not overly) and I wash every day just because I prefer to. I don’t even use the scalp scrubber - I use my fingers. And a pump and a half of product. And it works GREAT for me! 1.5 pumps for my chin length hair and 2.5 pumps when my hair is past my shoulders. I get compliments on my hair and my hair guy always says it still feels like it’s in good shape. I don’t use any other product most days.
But his hair is oily
Same, I love it, but I have more brittle/dry hair too
I have the same experience as you. I think he’s using too much. I have THICK hair that’s way down my back. And I couldn’t imagine putting 3-5 pumps in!!
When you wash your hair daily why you put chemicals in clean hair?
@@katyh.2501 just incase you don’t know if you use water to wash your hair, you’re also using a chemical 😉
I have used New Wash for a few years now (my old favorite got discontinued). That said, I haven’t used traditional shampoo for almost 10 years now. The transition to a “no poo” is much longer than a week. It’s really closer to 4 weeks. It’s almost like your hair goes thru a weird puberty! 😅 Anyway, I don’t use their dry shampoo powder and I can still go several days on one “shampoo” of New Wash. The larger package lasts me longer than the 5 months autoship. If you decide to give it another go, stick with it for at least one month. The other aerosol dry shampoos can get you thru the transitional period.
I love it!
Have been using it for two years.I am 67 years old and I use it every ten days,my salt and pepper hair is so shiny and looks great.
All ‘good’ shampoo is the same price or more!
The balm is great too imho .
I’m searching now because I can’t find it! Maybe gone out of business?
Btw in those two years I have only bought it twice.
Thank you so much for this! I have an extremely oily scalp and struggle to find a shampoo that doesn’t exacerbate my problem. Thank you so much for giving us true product reviews. 🤗
I bought Hairstory after being highly recommended by a professional, and it was awful. I kept thinking it would get better with use, as the directions insinuated, but it just coated my hair and it took me awhile after I stopped using it to get rid of the buildup. It was a $45 mistake for me.
The only "new" product I've recently tried is the K-18 leave-in mask. My hair is unprocessed, fine, white, and I'm over 55. I really like that I don't have to wash it out, it doesn't take much, and I can go longer between washes and my hair still look good. It is pricey though, and I've read of some people not liking it while obviously me and my friends do.
I love the Budgie The Charcoal Dry Shampoo and it smels nice. ❤️
As you were describing how you used it and had to rinse it out and then dry your hair, I just thought....same as washing your hair once a day! You just used this product instead of shampoo. What a rip off.
I remember getting Wenn in a glossybox back in the day. Felt and looked like I had washed my hair with conditioner. Have stayed clear of similar products ever since..
thank you for telling this to people! and I hope the brand sees this. they should know that they CAN'T sell a mediocre conditioner for 44£ to anyone with a brain... nor a dry shampoo for over 10£ lol
OMG Wayne, I had the same problem with greasy hair. During the lockdown in my country in 2020 I decided to just stop washing it that often. What I did was that I started washing my hair once a week. It looked awful, but I kept my resolve to break the cycle so I kept my hair tied in a bun when it was greasy. We were in lockdown for two or three month so I did this once a week washing routine throughout the whole lockdown period. Now my hair gets greasy like about 1 cm in length from the scalp starting the sixth day. I have never used dry shampoo on it or any other products other than regular shampoo (the main one is Le Petit Marseilles for oily scalp for the first round of washing and after rinsing I alternate other different shampoos for colour some days, for volume some other days, etc.).
In conclusion my hair looks really good and healthy even tho my type of hair is thin. Also another good thing that happened, it stopped falling. 😁
I love Wen….. it’s so hard to find and the price is outrageous when you do!! If it were available…. I would happily buy and use it ♥️ I have super dry/ long/ curly hair
I used New Wash back when it first came out. it didn’t have a scalp brush at that point. I HATED IT! I gave it a fair shake. it was horrible. i’m surprised they’re still in business. 🙄😱 I recently tried Native shampoo/ conditioner, 9.00 a bottle, minimal ingredients and I kinda really like it 😀
I agree with you in this Wayne. I bought it a few month ago. Only was able to finish half the bag. It was horrible.
I bought Diva Curl thinking I could coax my wavy hair into not having to curl it every day. My hair was break off. Just snapping off. My hair stylist thought it was my Dyson Hair dryer and told me to stop using it. Well that is a pricey hair dryer and I love it. So I tried to figure out what I changed besides that. I opened my cabinet a few days later and saw the Deva Curl. I started researching it and sure enough there were tons of videos about the Diva Curl causing massive hair loss and breakage. I stopped using it immediately, kept using my Dyson and next visit to my stylist 6 weeks later, she asked what i did because my hair was so much better. I told her I threw away the Diva Curl and went back to my Lanza Trauma Treatment after washing and my hair was back.
Good to know! I was thinking about trying Deva curl. I also have a Dyson blow dryer and use it with no problems. Glad your hair is getting better. :)
Thank you for sharing, i am so glad i didn’t buy these products…. My friend has tried it and like you say,feels that it doesn’t clean well.
It’s called a cowash and curly hair people have been using products like this for years and years. You can get the as I am cowash at your local drug store for around $10 USD.
Cowashes won’t work for everyone. And there’s definitely no need to spend that much on one!!! Yikers.
I have dry, curly hair. I wash my hair about once a week with a cowash, and once a month with a regular shampoo. Works great for me. Probably wouldn’t work so great for people with oily, straight hair though!
What I *love* about the As I Am, Rosetta, is how easily & thoroughly it rinses out. Blessings! Jackie in upstate NY
Omg, what a mess! I use that Batiste for Blondes as a dry shampoo as well and it does work pretty well and very reasonably priced. I put it on at night so residue wears away as I sleep. Or, after I use it, I spray a bit of hairspray on a brush and run it through my hair and it helps remove powdery residue.
I have contemplated buying this product as it is often advertised to me, but never taken the plunge because of the ridiculous price point. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this review! I love honest reviews that I can trust and you have saved me from waisting my money on this scam.
I used this for several months and my hair and scalp loved it. To each his own. I’m a product junkie so I generally move on even when I love something but I would use this again. I also have a very oily scalp and face. It gave my thin, curly hair a lot more volume after it got used to it. No, it’s not cheap but it’s not a trash product.
Wow! What a horrible product! How they’re getting away with charging so much for any of those products is beyond me. I haven’t even ever heard of this brand let alone try it, but I certainly won’t be trying it now. I don’t mind paying a bit extra for shampoo and conditioner if they work. Right. Now I’m using Matrix Biolage Color Last shampoo and conditioner and I really like them. I am not oily at all. But also not too dry. I only wash my hair about once a week and use the dry shampoo in between washes. I use the Batiste as well. I really like it. Sorry you wasted your money on those hair products but thank you for showing us and doing a review. I value your opinion and look forward to your videos. Keep on shining! ❤️🌟💫
Lol yep. We have the same hair except mine is mid back and super thick. I like you get so tired of washing daily that you get desperate. I can’t tell you how many different shampoos and methods I’ve tried. There’s one that I’ve been using for months now and still love it called under Luna. It really transformed my hair I hope you try it out. I went from needing to wash daily to I can go a week with the help of dry shampoo. Without it, about day 4 I need to wash again. It’s pricier than say your average shampoo but it’s very concentrated and wayyyy cheaper than hairstory and the like. I use the warrior shampoo and the serenity conditioner. There’s also lighter conditioner as well since you don’t need it for the length. If you try it I so would love to hear your thoughts! Hope this helps ❤️
This is the only video of yours Im actually wetting myself laughing 🤣🤣🤣 "I do not have hair down to here 👱🏼♀️"my hair felt Vile" ☠🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm actually lying needing resuscitated 😆🤪😝
I tried a dry shampoo - Klorane - and it burned my scalp. I’m not sure why as it is supposed to be mild. I don’t think it was user error (I didn’t get closer than the recommended 6 inches) and I have used other dry shampoos without issue. I just like to try new things once in a while. Not so much anymore! So I can commiserate with you when a product is hugely disappointing.
thank you !!!!
just bought this … and it was a nightmare ! I had to re wash my hair and it was still looking terrible ! I could not believe I had bought this ! stupid … I reached out to them and told them it was HONESTLY not good at all … and that the fact that they dare to say it’s the new revolutionary product for your hair was just wrong !
their answer was unclear and very bizarre
but the name is right : NO wash .., at all !
thank you for your videos i’ve discovered you during pandemic and lock down in paris , and you have been since then a big part of my life 🙏🏻
I used Wen for years, and although I didn't personally have any issues with it, I stopped using it when there were reports of hair loss. However, I haven't really found anything that hydrates my hair like that product (the more expensive 'seasonal' types, not the basic sweet almond oil), and I still have bottles left, so I'm going to use them up and also see if that will leave my hair in better condition. As info, I'm 61 with colored hair that is wavy when hydrated, but leans dry with the wrong products.
Ohh yeah so the "deep" tends to leave fine hair (like mine!) greasy for some reason. I think it might be because of the amount used. If I use less (like much less, probably 1 it 3 pumps for your length), it washes out better and not greasy. The original works much better for fine hair, but then you need to use the full recommended amount.
I adore lift, undressed AND the powder (it gives me great volume). But the prices are.... Whew.
I wash my hair once or twice a week though, so I get more mileage out of it.
ALSO New wash has gotten rid of the cradle cap on both of my kiddos in 1-2 applications.
And.... I love the smell of DEEP. LOVE it.
When this company started, the hair cleanser was called "Purely Perfect Cleansing Cream," & it worked great on my oily-by-the-evening-of-the-morning-washed oily hair. Then they changed the formula & changed the name to Hairstory. That product did not get the oil out of my hair. This new version, "New Wash Deep," is not nearly as good as the original "Purely Perfect Cleansing Cream," in my case. The ONLY advantage for me is that I do not have to lather 3 (t-h-r-e-e) separate times plus conditioner in the shower every morning. The Augustinus Bader hair system works well for me, but it takes sooo long each day. As for the New Deep Wash, I have put it into a 10-hole squeeze bottle & squeeze it onto my scalp - so that I don't waste so much. My hair is OK; it is my scalp that needs de-greasing. I don't know.
Cowash is usually for dry and curly or coily hair and even then people don’t usually use just any hair styling products they want. You have to make sure there isn’t silicones and other residue builders in the styling products because cowash isn’t strong enough to wash those away. Like wax or pomade is not gonna be properly removed with a cleansing conditioner. I don’t know anything about this brand but I’ve heard other cowashes can be good.
I was afraid to use New Wash at first because it looked like a thick conditioner. I used it anyway and was surprised at how well my hair looked. I have long hair and only need a pump and a half. And I have an oily scalp. The only thing i don't like about New Wash is the price. It is wayyyyy over priced. I will finish using the rest of it, but will only purchase it on rare occasions. Just too pricey.
I can see why people have trouble with New Wash if they don't already use clean beauty products shampoo bars. Since it's primarily oil/butter based your scalp undergoes a transition period where it gets oily at first and then your oil reserves sort of balance out; that's when you can wash less often. The other problem is that people don't brush their hair more and move those scalp oils around and get healthy circulation; possibly another reason the scalp over produces oil. I wonder if you just rinsed your hair every other day instead of washing if that would help?
It must’ve felt so good to go back and wash your hair with your normal shampoo
I love the Sachajuan scalp shampoo! I used it every 3-4 washes and it has healed my scalp issues.
I'm the same. Hair so oily I shampoo every day. I used to hate hairdressers telling me I washed my hair too often and that I needed to only wash my hair a few times a week. Ok. Took their advice and only washed it once in 2weeks, so my hair could adjust to the new routine. The result. Hair so greasy you could fry chips on it. Scalp encrusted with thick sebum and so itchy I couldn't sleep at night. I kept up a new routine of washing my hair only twice a week. I swear they doll out this ridiculous advice after reading it in their hairdressing modules at College. Tried different shampoos, conditioning only the bottom of the hair, you name it. How did I solve my problem? Washing my freaking hair EVERY day. I still have to, and I'm in my fifties..
Wow. WAY over priced, even if it worked- and that scalp brush, or variations, can be found very cheaply almost anywhere.
About oil/greasy hair- I know this sounds counter intuitive, but have you tried using straight jojoba oil as a pre-wash "conditioner?" I love it on my scalp and hair and often put it in the night before (and wear a cap to protect my pillow) and then wash it out in the morning. I've read it's the closest plant oil to our own sebum. I use it on my face nearly every day, massage it in thoroughly and then wash lightly with Cerave moisturizing face wash. It's a great combination for me. I have a dry scalp, though, and an oily face but it seems to help both conditions.
Anyway. Love your videos! And your glasses are so freaking good on you! Seriously "hot professor" vibes all over the place. :)
Personally, have had great results with New Wash and wouldn’t go back to shampoos/conditioners.
So funny ypu didn't like it, I loved it, as does Trinny and Hannah Louise Poston. But it's the other way. The deep/to h is for dry hsir,the original is for oily hair. The brush,is great weather you use the product or not. Hannah has a YT video up on how to use it. It's really for longer drier hair.
I would love to talk more about this with you! A lot of people have issues because they don’t use the right amount. 5 pumps is toooooo much for you hair! You also have to leave it in for a little bit to work.
Those glasses really suit you!!! 👍🏼
Thank you :)
I actually really like this product, but I use the regular, not the deep. Deep is way too heavy. You have to rinse it longer than you’d think. I just use a cheap scrubby tool I got from the drugstore. The effect is second day hair, which I like.
For dry shampoo m'Chel Day After is the best I've tried! They have an innovative applicator. No starches in the product. It is silica based and only absorbs the scalp oil without leaving the hair dry. Smells really good (some type of essential oil mix not over powering). Gives great volume too. Initiall purchase is a but pricey however I had my first purchase before my refill last me over 5 months.
The price is indeed wackkk, but the rich works brilliantly on my bleached out hair. Few drops of crazy color to keep the brassiness away is a dream combo.
I’ve used Wen and I like it, it’s just really expensive! I have fine hair and it gets oily fast so I have to wash every day. Wen was basically like using a shampoo conditioner combo except when I use normal 2 in 1 they leave my hair too dry. So I like cleansing conditioners but they don’t cut down on how often I have to wash my hair. It just basically saves me the step of shampooing. I can get the same result from shampoo then conditioner plus a tiny bit of hair oil applied to the ends and worked through the hair as I comb it out. My hair breaks really easily so the hair oil helps me comb it out with less breakage than if I didn’t use it and I haven’t found that using hair oil makes my scalp get oily any faster.
Thanks for the review. I’m back to using shampoo and conditioner from the drug store these days. Actually, I’m using Head & Shoulders 2 in 1 Green Apple scent and Garnier Fructis Grow Strong conditioner, which also smells like apples. I love this combo cuz my hair has an awesome apple scent and its much cheaper than Wen’s Kids Apple cleanser!
Same!!! I still have some Wen !! I love it and wish it were still available. It’s like everything else-works for some-not for others…💋
@@AnnieBoBannie421 It’s definitely still available. QVC sells it and I think Chaz Dean still sells it directly too. Unless you’re outside of the US. I don’t know if it’s available outside the US. There was a lawsuit but I looked into it and it doesn’t make sense to me that anyone’s hair loss would be caused by a shampoo. So it’s not been pulled from shelves or anything. I think they settled the lawsuit. But I’m happy with my current (much cheaper) products anyway!
I use hair story at the recommendation of my stylist who specializes in curly and textured hair. It works fantastic for me and other people with curls and texture. It's not meant for flat hair.
You're absolutely right :) the only issue I have is that its recommend for all hair types on the website. everyone can benefit from it. Unless you have lack, thin greasy hair it would seem! Its just a shame they didn't mention that! haha
@@WayneGoss a misstep on their part for sure!
Thanks Wayne, for your honest opinion on these products. I value your opinion.
My pleasure! Thank YOU
Tried the product did not live up to expectation I tried air drying my hair and the frizz was ridiculous not worth the money I agree I do love the brush to use with shampoo
I have oily hair too, and it was so incredibly oily the WHOLE time I used this stuff. I went off of conditioner for ages, thinking my hair was just too oily for conditioner - it isn't. I use conditioner every day now. It was literally just New Wash. Never again!
It’s Amazing and totally fixed my hair. I love the Hair Story Rich❤ I guess it’s amazing for hair that isn’t greasy. Also, ridiculous for someone with so little hair to use so much. I have long hair and a palmful is a more than I need. I’ll Never go back to regular shampoo.
I use Biolog for color treated hair. For me it's just the best. But for all the other stuff I need because it's thin and fine and thin And Finer is any product from Wayne's Goss or from The makeover Guy.
I wish I'd seen this. I got this crap a few weeks ago. I have fine, thin brittle hair. It left my hair so matted and after 2 washes my hair was literally falling out from the roots and I had to get a haircut. Ridiculous product, ridiculous price. Their customer service told me I have silicones in my hair and that's why. I also told them they needed to include some honest reviews to which they replied that they outsource for reviews and the reviews are nothing to do with them 😂😂😂😂 It's completely untrue, I haven't used anything with silicones for over 2 years. I also got the balm for moisture which is actually the best hair dehydrator I've ever used. I'm returning this rubbish asap. Edited to say I since brought the Sachuan scalp cleanser and it's magnificent. My hair condition is getting better and stronger with this product and it's half the price for twice as much product.
I like that Batiste blonde dry shampoo. Just wish they would make a lighter one less yellow than this. All my scalp problems vanished with the dry shampoo as I can reduce my hair washing to just twice a week. Made such a difference
Favorite Dry shampoos whose smell isn't overpowering: not your mother's, R + Co, and Amika. I haven't tried living proof but I have been happy with all of their products I've tried.
I just don't think cleansing conditioners work for fine blond hair that looks oily after a day. I've tried too. Maybe if you used only that for months so your scalp gets used to it? But who has months where they can just look like crap all the time. 😁
For my extremely oily scalp, Living Proof dry shampoo s the best out there. I can't use it because it has fragrance & I have allergy-induced-asthma, but I wish I could!
They asked me to be an "ambassador" without even sending me the product to try. 🚩
Thanks for the warning, its a real public service to give real feedback about products.
Thank you for your efforts here. This is just the sort of product I would have been attracted to. Love your honesty here. ❤️
I bought it too. I tried the Deep version also. It made my scalp line oily but didn’t condition the rest of my hair. I’ve gone back to Olaplex.
Good grief! That's ridiculous! Thank you for letting us know!
I never tried Wen but it sounds similar. Me, I found my HG shampoo and conditioner duo - I love INNERSENSE - both the moisturizing hair bath line and the daily line, depending on the weather. I only wash maybe twice a week and wash the other days with just a thick conditioner product from my local salon that's all natural. I have curly hair.
Sounds like you used a lot of it! Were you rinsing it well enough? I have fine thin hair, and I wash my hair once a week using hair story and I love it and it’s so soft.
Due to seborric dermatitis I use probiotic shampoo, and glycolic acid to get rid of build up. My hair can be greasy within 36 hours.
This sounds more suited to drier hair types.
I also have seb term. I would love to know what products you use please :)
@@WayneGoss Hi Wayne! It is an awful condition. I have been using the glycolic and salicylic acid scalp treatments by The Inkey List. They help with scalp build up a bit. It can also help to avoid product in your hair if you can.
The shampoo is by Hermz. It's called H+P Shampoo (hemp oil and probiotics). It helps with the itching. I got it on Amazon.
I usted it, it took me at least 3 weeks to really get into the cleaning and balance status. Finally my hair is better but I almost used it all and yes it is very expensive, don’t think will buy it again.
At first it worked quite well for me but only if I left it on 5 mins before rinsing off. Strangely after several months it worked less and less well and I gave up on it. I too thought the dry shampoo was absolutely awful
I’ve tried over and over with same results thanks for making me feel normal I don’t get it either! I have fine hair that’s oily too
I use this when I get my hair colored to help my color last longer. I have the deep version, but I have long, thick, curly/coarse hair.
Good heavens. My favourite shampoo costs 89 Euro Cents for 200 ml, it cleans beautifully and easily without drying the hair. It is also unscented and non-irritating. What more would I need to clean my hair?
I don’t use shampoo. I use conditioners with cleansers in as i follow the curly girl method by Lorraine Massey
