MOISTURE BALANCING CONDITIONER FAQ:
DOES THE HAIR CONDITIONER CONTAIN SILICONES?
No. Act+Acre's Hair Conditioner is made with breathable plant oils that penetrate the hair cuticle to properly moisturize strands without added weight or residue.
Many conditioners create the illusion of smoothness by using silicones, which form a waterproof seal around the hair to block out humidity. These seals build upon each other with continued use, weighing the hair down and making it increasingly difficult to receive moisture, creating flat and brittle hair.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RESTORATIVE HAIR MASK AND THE HAIR CONDITIONER?
The Restorative Hair Mask works best as a weekly deep moisturization treatment or temporary conditioner substitute for damaged and brittle hair.
The Hair Conditioner is a lightweight conditioner designed to regularly nourish and rehydrate hair post-cleanse.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHEN TRANSITIONING TO THE SILICONE-FREE HAIR CONDITIONER?
Many silicones are water insoluble, meaning it can take around 5-8 washes to remove the superficial layers. During this transition period, your hair might feel less “smooth” at first. This will subside as our plant oils penetrate the hair cuticle to restore intrinsic moisture without added weight or residue.

MY HAIR IS GETTING OILY, AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?
Not to worry— this is a quick fix! Because Act+Acre products are quite concentrated, you may need to add a bit of water to the cleanse before applying it to your hair.
Use 1-2 pumps of the cleanse into your hand and add water to it. Rub this together in your hands and emulsify (the more bubbles the better!) before applying.
Rinse + repeat this process. You will notice a stronger lather during your second cleanse and a more weightless finish once complete :)
MY HAIR IS GETTING DRY, AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?
Not to worry— this is normal! Because Act+Acre products are silicone-free, you may need to add a silicone-free hydrating mask once a week like the Restorative Hair Mask.
There is an initial transition period that can take 5-8 washes. If you feel you need more hydration with your daily wash. We recommend mixing a small amount of Restorative Hair Mask with the Conditioner.
