Propel AMA: Eli Halliwell - CEO, Hairstory

​We're excited to host Eli Halliwell, Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of haircare brand Hairstory. Hairstory's a company dedicated to helping people rethink everything about hair in a world where the old rules don’t apply. 

​Hairstory's core product, New Wash, cleans hair without any detergent, ending what the company sees as a vicious cycle of over-cleansing created by shampoo. The company's foundational belief is that cleansing without shampoo is healthier for the hair and scalp while also safer for the environment. The cult brand has built a loyal following of enthusiasts as New Wash has helped to change their relationship with their hair.

​Hairstory is hiring!
