Most Helpful Positive Review Ready to try more from Not Your Mother's! Prior to this shampoo I had never tried a Not Your Mother;s shampoo product because I have very fine and extremely oily hair and sulfate free products have never worked for me at all before. I was very excited to try out this shampoo and was pleasantly surprised - the scent is listed as red apple and is a lighter scent and not too strong. My only complaint is with the packaging as the shampoo is a little hard to squeeze out of the bottle. But the product itself works great! For a sulfate free shampoo it really lathers up and does a nice job cleaning my hair. As I mentioned earlier my hair is extremely oily so I have to alternate between this sulfate-free shampoo and a clarifying shampoo to balance out my scalp with a daily hair wash, but that is nothing against this product that is just a personal issue of mine that is no fault to the product. My husband has normal type hair and exclusively uses sulfate-free shampoo going 2-3 days between washes, he's also tried out this shampoo and was very impressed! I have not been using the product long enough to be able to speak to if this formula helps hair to grow longer or stronger, but my hair sure does feel healthy! I also really like how safe I feel using this product as there are no parabens or phthalates, and no animal testing!!! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this shampoo. I will definitely be purchasing this shampoo to keep as a staple in our house once this bottle runs out!
Most Helpful Critical Review No sulphates but a bit drying Not Your Mother's Way to Grow shampoo and conditioner is great option for those that want to avoid sulphates in their hair products. I have medium length hair, that is on the dryer side, and I found this product to dry my hair out even more. I wash my hair twice a week, and after using this shampoo and conditioner for 3 weeks, I don't notice much of a difference in my hair growth. On the flip side, I have not had as much hair falling out in the shower (win!), it smells like strawberry goodness, and I love the way it lathers up better than some other non-toxic hair products. I think that this shampoo and conditioner could be a better fit for someone who doesn't have dry hair. I will say, the packaging is adorable. Overall, I may include it in my hair care rotation if I want to avoid too much hair falling out after washing it. I'm thankful to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this product for me to try out!

Clean Hair Feel 4
Camp May from undisclosed
IÂ received this shampoo from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The packaging it was sent in had great presentation and was fun to open. I loved how well the shampoo lathered in my hair and my hair always had a nice clean feel after using it. I am not a fan of the apple scent of the shampoo. I would use the shampoo about 3 times a week. I did not notice my hair growing longer but I have very long, fine, straight hair to begin with. Overall, I liked this shampoo and would buy it again if the scent changed.
Um, wow 5
Runcyndirella from undisclosed
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and boy oh boy, am I glad I did! You ever get those candles that smell SOOO good you could almost eat them? Well this shampoo is just like that. I mean, obviously don't eat it, but it smells amazingly delicious, and my shower smells like an orchard, it's just wonderful. My hair is left incredibly soft, and it feels so good, so strong! It doesn't feel icky like some other brands make my hair feel. 10 out of 10 would definitely buy this!
Great 'Get You Clean' Shampoo 5
elusiveshoe from undisclosed
I received the Not Your Mother's Way to Grow Shampoo as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I'm honestly glad I did. The shampoo cleans very well, removing all hair products used easily. I used this daily, and it was an easy switch into my normal routine.
I am interested to see how it works in assisting with growth, however, due to how soft my hair became after using this (along with the matching conditioner) I've had to order more as my daughter snatched it for herself.
smooth 5
BJSquared from undisclosed
I received Not Your Mother's Way to Grow Shampoo from Stellar Product Testing Panel and used this shampoo daily. I thought it was great as a shampoo. I thought that it made my hair feel smoother, more hydrated. I would buy Not Your Mother's Way to Grow Shampoo in the future and use it!
Great, thick, cleansing shampoo 5
Maegenh from undisclosed
I found this shampoo to be thick inconsistency and needed a bit more than I normally would, but with normal scrubbing it provides a great cleanse for my hair. My hair, after using Not Your Mother's Way to Grow shampoo feels a bit thicker and softer. I only wash my hair once every 5 or 6 days, so I haven't had it long enough to tell if it's making my hair much healthier. The only thing holding me back from buying it again is the candy apple scent, which is purely a matter of taste. I'm definitely going to try other products in their line! Thanks to Stellar Product Panel for sending me this shampoo to test out.
I was given this... 4
Nagrom from undisclosed
I was given this shampoo to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.  The first thing I noticed was the crisp apple scent.  I was surprised to see that there was still a pleasing trace of the scent, even after blow drying and styling my hair.  The shampoo is really thick, in a good way.  It feels like it is packed with rich ingredients, instead of watered down like some shampoos.  The lather was dense, it felt like it was getting all of the oil and grime out of my hair.  I liked how the shampoo bottle reads "step 1" and the conditioner, "step 2."  Although it's obvious which comes first it just made me feel like I was really nailing it!
Thick and Luxurious 5
KatieCat from undisclosed
After using the Not Your Mother's shampoo once, I was hooked and continued to use it exclusively abandoning my "go to" for years. I really enjoy how clean my hair was getting without drying out. I wash my hair everyday so this is really important to me. The clean ingredients are another huge plus along with the pleasant apple scent. Thanks Stellar Panel for the opportunity to try out my new favorite shampoo!
No Knot Long Hair, with Volume! 5
saribeth from undisclosed
I was given the opportunity to test out Not Your Mother's Way to Grow conditioner through The Stellar Product Testing Panel and I am so happy I did. My hair has gotten looooong and a bit difficult to manage. There hadn't been any body to it and because of the length, I kept getting knots towards the bottom. Using this conditioner, paired with the shampoo, my hair actually has some volume to it and any knots can easily be worked out with even just my fingers. The fruity smell is pleasant but not overpowering. Possibly most impressive is that my hair has been low to no static during the winter, staying nice and smooth.
Sooo Clean!!! 4
Aritson from undisclosed
I tried this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I am switching!
I use it every day and at first I didn't think I noticed a difference but at the end of the 3rd day I realized my hair was so clean feeling, something I didn't know I was missing! All day it was manageable and soft. Also, I liked how the directions remind you to massage your scalp.
This does not give body but it does provide a clean feeling and soft hair!
Cleans well 4
Neech83 from undisclosed
The shampoo really cleans my hair very well! It takes all of the grime and build up out of my hair with ease. The scent is very nice and not too powerful. The only thing that I don't like about the shampoo is that it is extremely thick and can be a little difficult to squeeze out. I've been using it for about two weeks now and my hair does feel healthier. I receive this shampoo to test for stellar product testing panel.
Great Lathering Shampoo 5
BayAreaDad from undisclosed
This shampoo does a great job lathering up. A little goes a long way. I found that this did a great job of getting the hair wax out of my hair, and didn't require washing multiple times to get everything out like other shampoos I've used. I also found the fragrant smell nice and light and not overly overbearing like some scented shampoos. I don't know if this comes in a push pump option, but that would be the preferred way of dispensing for my home use. I received this as being a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I enjoyed using it!

Smells Great! 5
Dmlcll1978 from undisclosed
Not Your Mother's Way To Grow Shampoo is not a shampoo I had used before. I was quite surprise on good this shampoo smelt and felt. I thought it had a different texture compared to other shampoos I have used. I did find it easy to use. This Not Your Mother's Way To Grow Shampoo lathered up quite nicely and rinsed out with out leaving any residue. After my hair dried I could tell that my hair was softer and looked shinier. Although I still had trouble brushing my hair out after washing. Other than I really like this shampoo and goes really well with my routine. I think with everyday use and using it longer I will see a difference in my hair.
I would definitely say you should give it a try.

Great smell, feels healthy 5
Aidensmom from undisclosed
So far, I am really liking this shampoo, which I'm using with the NYM way to grow conditioner. I've used it about four times total, in conjunction with my toning products and hair masks. The scent is very nice, not too overpowering. The lather is nice, a little goes a long way. I'm noticing some increased fullness/volume after use, which feels very healthy, without any added frizziness. I have a lot of hair, but it's fine, so frizziness, and dullness, is something I try to combat, luckily not an issue with the Way to Grown line. It's still too early to tell about actual length, but is super promising, and given other products I've used for increased growth, this is similar. I'm currently 35wks pregnant and trying to do all the things I can to boost hair growth so I can *hopefully* minimize postpartum hair loss. Very excited to continue using these as a part of my hair regimen for after baby comes. I have high hopes, given what I've already noticed since starting to use. Overall I am pleased and will continue to use. Very thankful to Stellar Parent Panel for giving me the opportunity to try out this shampoo. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting more fullness and volume, especially postpartum moms.
Way to Grow Shampoo 5
Lauren from undisclosed
The Not Your Mother's Way to Grow shampoo has been a great addition to my hair care routine. I've been dealing with a lot of breakage lately, and I was skeptical of anything that professed it could help. But I have been pleasantly surprised. My hair looks healthy and is stronger. While I received my shampoo as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I would definitely purchase this on my own. I usually wash my hair every three days and I was able to keep up that routine with this new shampoo. As an added bonus, the shampoo was nice and thick (I really dislike thin, runny products).
Strengthened My Hair 5
klfranc from undisclosed
I've been dealing with COVID hair. You know, hair that hasn't been to the salon for a year now! My hair has been unhealthy and breaking easily. I really needed to change up my routine so my hair could be manageable and decent looking again. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was able to try out this Not Your Mother's Way to Grow Shampoo. It has made such a difference! After a few washes with it, my hair already started to feel better and stronger. It has a slightly fruity smell, which I actually don't mind. If you're needing something to kick up the health of your hair, I'd definitely recommend this. I plan to buy more!
Nice product but could go further 4
EllieMom from undisclosed
I was given this shampoo to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I have long, strawberry blond hair and it does not affect the color of my hair or leave any residue. The shampoo lathers nicely and rinses clean. I have noticed considerably less breakage while I've used the product. Overall, I love how my hair looks and feels. I like that the product is vegan, cruelty free, and has no parabens, etc. Where this product falls short is the packaging. It has a recycling symbol on it, but it is not numbered, nor does it have any recycling information. If you have gone to all the trouble to be free of so many things, making the product carbon neutral should be the next step. I've made a concerted effort to reduce my single use plastic, especially in regards to shampoo and soap, so I probably will not buy this product again for this reason. If I knew it I could easily recycle it I might feel differently because the product is good.
Shampoo you can feel good about 4
KileyE from undisclosed
I'm a pretty religious user of the Not Your Mother's brad of haircare products -- I've loved their cream mousse and have given the mousse for curly hair a whirl too. So when the Stellar Panel provided me with the Not Your Mother's Way to Grow Shampoo and Conditioner, I was pretty stoked to get to try it! I love that the NYM brand products are made in the USA and are cruelty-free, and I have yet to find one that doesn't smell amazing.
This particular shampoo promises to help your hair grow faster and stronger, with an anti-breakage formula. Since having a baby a year and a half ago, I've been shedding like a yeti in Miami, so I was interested to see if this might help. I followed the (kind of specific) directions pretty closely, although I only wash my very, very, very curly hair every other day. Over the course of a couple weeks, I noticed...no difference at all. I still shed, my hair isn't growing any faster, and it doesn't really seem any stronger.
As shampoos go, this one is fine if you're looking for something that smells nice, is made without sulfates, and didn't hurt any bunnies in its creation. But if you need something to turn you into Rapunzel in a week...well, probably look elsewhere.
Full body, but may make hair feel oily 4
EasyPeasy from undisclosed
The shampoo had a nice scent. I think it was a bit strong for me at first because I'm used to unfragranced shampoos. It left my hair really soft. After a few uses though I feel it made my hair feel a little oily.
I might be crazy but my hair did feel fuller bodied. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Not your mothers shampoo 4
Mandy from undisclosed
So I'm going to start off saying I did like this shampoo for many reasons but I wouldn't buy this shampoo for myself because of my thick hair. I'm going to list the pros and cons of this shampoo!!
Pros-
Smells pretty good but not fantastic
Love the packaging and how I received the shampoo!!!
Love the look of the bottle
Love how the shampoo feels in my hand and on my hair
Made my scalp feel good
Cons-
Not good for thick hair
Could definitely smell better, did smell kinda bland but I still didn't mind it.
I don't really have any cons except this shampoo wasn't the best with thick hair and maybe amp up the smell:)
Overall I did like the shampoo and probably would have loved the shampoo if it was made for thicker hair!!

Not much for my dry hair 3
CLE330 from undisclosed
I have over processed dry hair that's quite long and I know I require a lot of extra moisture in my haircare products, and this just didn't quite do it for me. The shampoo made my hair feel clean, but seemed like it stripped out the natural oils just a little too much. I received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
Good shampoo, not sure it helps hair grow 4
HeatherM from undisclosed
I have very fine hair that I like to keep a little longer than shoulder-length, but at a certain point it starts getting easily tangled and I inevitably get sick of it and chop it off before deciding to grow it out again - rinse and repeat. So I was really hopeful that this Long
Overall a nice shampoo and conditioner 4
Dreamscapesz from undisclosed
I was given this shampoo to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The scent is a red candy apple scent, very pleasant and not overbearing. The shampoo cleanses gently and easy to lather. The conditioner is light and easy to work into the hair. I do find the conditioner not to be super moisturizing so I think I'll like it better in the summer when my hair isn't so dry. I do feel like my hair is softer and I notice less breakage in my hair. Overall I like it and would buy again.
