One Order of Healthy Scalp and Luscious Locks, Please!
For the longest time, I couldn’t figure out exactly what my hair needed from me when it came to hair care and (more importantly) hair problems. Even after bleaching my hair to the bone, my roots remained oily and flaky, and I had tried every shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask under the sun. Finally, I’ve discovered a product that helps me achieve my cleanest, healthiest hair (and I’ve got the pictures to prove it). Fortunately. I hope this Act+Acre Scalp Detox review will motivate you to give yourself (and your scalp) a little TLC in the interest of having great hair days in the future.
Act+Acre Overview
Due to my preference for all-natural skin and body products, I was pleased that Act+Acre’s products would not strip my hair of its natural oils. Because of the use of chemicals to achieve product performance, the hair care industry typically prioritizes short-term benefits over hair health and wellness for generations. Helen Reavey, the brand’s founder, and a well-known celebrity hairstylist, explains that the traditional high-heat manufacturing process causes nutrients to evaporate, making the quality of these products moot.
By using hyperbaric chambers, ice-cold water, and 1200 pounds of pressure, Act + Acre claims its Cold Process saves 90% of energy and retains up to 96% of the active ingredients’ vitamins. As with “cold press” juicing, the formula retains its potency and freshness without the addition of heat.
Why Is Scalp Health Important?
Compared to the skin on the rest of the body, the scalp is more delicate and contains more sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and hair follicles, as well as a lower barrier function. As a result, it is imperative that we follow a scalp care regimen as detailed as our face care regimen.
So, How Does Act+Acre Work?
Using the shampoo and conditioner, I was instructed to wash my hair as I normally do (every other night). Reavey emphasizes the importance of shampooing a second time, I went along with her recommendation. Next, I started using the Scalp Detox once a week, which took an additional 20 minutes to dry.
Applying the Detox, which is an oil-based product, feels like you’re putting on an oil. It’s a light oil, though, so it won’t weigh down your hair. When I rinse, the Cleanse doesn’t leave me with that dreary, sticky feeling. Intensely moisturizing without the use of silicones, this lightweight conditioner is a dream to use on your hair. Designed for daily use, it isn’t too thick or heavy.
How Much Does Act+Acre Cost?
Scalp Detox by Act + Acre costs $42 for 3.4 ounces, while shampoo and conditioner are $50 for the set, or $28 each. To get the most out of a bottle, use it only once a week on the scalp rather than the entire head of hair.
The Final Verdict
Act + Acre taught me the importance of taking care of both my hair and my scalp. Since using Act + Acre’s products, my scalp has become more hydrated and less flaky and itchy. It works like a charm, and the fact that my dry scalp is no longer an issue means I’ll be keeping a tube of Scalp Detox handy at all times.
