Once you apply New Wash to your hair, you will be able to tell that it is definitely not a shampoo. Currently, I have a bit of buildup, so I'm on the hunt for hair products that won't exacerbate the problem. I try to combat this with scalp masks for a deep clean. (My go-to hair cleansing products are from Olaplex and Oribe.) I know, sounds like a hairstylist's nightmare, but my hair is prone to getting oily after going a day or two without a wash which drives me crazy.Ī major downside to washing my hair this often is that I occasionally get a bad case of shampoo buildup. I have slightly wavy hair that I shampoo and condition every day. About My Hair: Medium-coarse, wavy, and prone to oiliness

I know that Hairstory recommends the deep formula for fine hair. The rich formula I save for highly processed colored hair and extremely dry coarse hair. I use the original formula for pretty much everyone. My very favorite two formulas are the original formula and the rich formula. New Wash gets your head clean but your hair stays kind of amazing! No suds, no foaming like shampoo…which is weird at first but that foaming is what makes hair big and fluffy when it’s clean, rather than supple with its natural oils still left on the strands.
