SCALP DETOX FAQ:
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCALP DETOX AND SCALP RENEW?
The Scalp Detox gently removes build-up, balances the scalp, and provides deep hydration and nutrients to the scalp. The Scalp Renew provides deeper exfoliation with salicylic acid, balancing oil for those who have oily and dry scalp. The Renew comes with soothing peppermint oil that works to calm down inflammation.
HOW MUCH PRODUCT SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE SCALP?
Each section of the scalp only needs a few drops. The bottle is designed to slowly release a few drops of oil at a time, without squeezing the sides. The oil will spread easily across the entire scalp once massaged.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD SCALP DETOX BE USED, AND FOR HOW LONG?
Scalp Detox is a weekly pre-cleanse treatment. Leave it in for 20 minutes and follow with a thorough cleanse.
Our favorite way to apply Scalp Detox is with the Scalp Gua Sha, which increases product absorption and shortens the treatment time to 10 minutes.
Alternatively, many of our customers love to leave it in for longer or even overnight—it is completely safe to do so!

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.
