Frequently Asked Questions
How can Stem be more effective than traditional shampoo and conditioner while being natural?
We've spent several years perfecting a formula that balances gentle cleansing with deep hydration, all while maintaining your hair's natural equilibrium. Traditional hair care products often strip your hair of its natural oils using harsh chemicals and then overcompensate by adding heavy synthetic conditioners. This cycle can lead to overproduction of oils, making your hair dependent on frequent washing and conditioning. Stem's minimalist, natural approach gently cleanses without overstripping and nourishes your hair with essential nutrients, resulting in healthier, more manageable hair.
Do I need a conditioner too?
No, we recommend skipping the conditioner. Stem is designed to maintain your hair’s ideal moisture balance without needing extra products.
Why This Works:
Overcompensation: Traditional conditioners can train your hair and scalp to rely on additional oils, potentially leading to greasy roots or dryness in the long run.
Built-In Hydration: If you need a moisture boost, simply leave Stem in your hair for an extra minute or two before rinsing—this gives the nourishing ingredients more time to absorb.
What are the caps and bases of Stem made from?
Our caps and bases are crafted from a proprietary material made from spruce wood combined with other natural saps. This innovative blend creates a strong, durable, and completely biodegradable system for Stem, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.
Where do you source your ingredients?
We source our ingredients from a network of U.S.-based partners who provide ethically and sustainably sourced materials. The majority of our ingredients are grown in the United States and South America, ensuring high quality while reducing our environmental footprint.

Where are you located?

Is Stem suitable for all hair types?
Yes, Stem is designed to work effectively for all hair types. Our goal is to restore your hair's natural balance, leaving it radiant and healthy. Since human hair shares a similar oil composition across different types, our formula gently cleanses and replenishes with natural oils, benefiting everyone from straight to curly hair.

From the Community
We love our new shampoos! Will definitely be switching over permanently.
I have really enjoyed the Stem so far and love the way it makes my hair feel.
This is a truly wobderful shampoo/body soap!
My husband and I love this product. Highly recommended!
I bought one each for myself & my son, and we love it! Hair feels clean, soft, & the scents are incredible!
It’s definitely a bit uncomfortable at first if you struggle with change. Also I was so worried of getting it wet and what not and kept the package on (didn’t realize you take off the paper lol) but my goodness my hair is loving this natural product, my hair is like omg thank you! ❤️ it smells good but I’d like to try another new unreleased scent that’s just scrumptious and delicious for us that love intense and sweet smells. I ended up liking the coconut hinoki smell more than the amber which I was surprised by. Anyway I love my swell :) 5 ⭐️
Love it and i have tried them all!!
I love everything about Stem!!!! So innovative and it works great!!
Love this you can tell a difference in my hair the sprez let's grind looks clean and ingredients I can describe
I've only used it twice so far, and i love it! It smelled amazing, lathers up nicely, and it makes my hair feel fluffy and soft without being frizzy or dry. I am definitely interested in other products and will definitely look into buying more in the future
