“Meet the Cutting-Edge Natural Hair-Care Line That Puts Scalp Health First”

“Cold Processed™ Hair Cleanse helps to re-balance, while delivering nourishment and moisture to your scalp and hair.”

“A must-have addition to your beauty routine.”

“Act+Acre, a line of hair wellness products unlike anything that the industry has seen.”

“The result of their cold processing invention is that all of the efficacy and nutrients of the natural oils included in their products - baobab, moringa, amaranth, basil leaf, ylang ylang, vetiver, rosemary, lavender - remain fully effective.”

Do this once a week and your build-up problems are G.O.N.E. $42."

"Act+Acre’s Scalp Detox floored me....essentially equivalent to a weekly wheatgrass shot for your hair"

"This stuff smells exactly like you’d think something called a “Cold Processed Hair Cleanse” would smell."

"The cold-pressed shampoo and conditioner is formulated with ylang-ylang, amaranth oil, lavender, and moringa oil to strengthen and nourish hair."

"In addition to detoxing one's scalp and removing buildup, this product boasts a soothing and relaxing scent. The formula is the result of scientific research and premium ingredients and is offered at an accessible price point for consumers seeking high quality and non-toxic hair care products."

"Each product is formulated with a patent cold-pressed technique which relies on ice cold water and high pressure to ensure that all their active ingredients remain fresh and highly effective – a first in the beauty industry."

"We know the sunshine made you feel lazy but you have to summon the energy and give your hair a really good wash. Shampooing out all the chemicals is essential to the overall health of your hair."

"I've been using this Act+Acre duo since January because it leaves my hair clean, but not squeakily so."

"They also knew they wanted to use as natural and high quality ingredients as possible. They spent months searching out and in exploratory conversations with chemists, bio-chemical engineers, and botanists with hopes of finding a team to bring their vision to life."

"We wanted Act+Acre to be an outlier and a pioneer in the wellness space, to think broader and further. It was born as a reaction to the established category and as a promise of what this category can become: something that comes to life through scientific advancement, real solutions to real problems."

"The new Plant-Based Dry Shampoo is, in fact, plant-based, relying on rice and tapioca starches and powder to absorb oil."

"And here’s the kicker, it’s made up of six ingredients that deliver 65 minerals to nourish your scalp. "

"According to Helen Reavey, a celebrity hairstylist and co-founder of Act + Acre, we tend to neglect the back of our heads, which leads to a buildup of oil and styling products on our scalp."

"Like the rest of Act+Acre's finely curated product selection, the Plant-Based Dry Shampoo leaves your hair feeling great, and your mind at ease."

"[It] helps nourish a healthy scalp and hair with its vegan, plant-based formula. It only contains six ingredients and is free of alcohol, aerosol, aluminum, and gluten."

"On days when I don't wash my hair, I've been trying out Act+Acre's new dry shampoo, and so far, I've been liking the way these products work together."

"We reach for this dry shampoo because, while it does an exceptional job of absorbing excess oil, it’s also plant-based and aerosol-free, making it a great sustainable choice."

"This genius product launched online August 20, and sold out in a whopping seven hours. And why? Unlike its competitors, it only uses natural ingredients (like organic rice and tapioca powder) to help absorb excess oil."

"It leaves my hair clean, but not squeakily so."

"The formula is easily absorbed so that it leaves a light and clean feel on strands and scalp. After a few sprays and combing from roots to tips, hair looks and feels fresh as if straight out of a thorough washing. The product does not feel sticky nor does it create unwanted clumps on hair as most dry shampoos do."

"I think it’s safe to say that I’ve found my holy grail and will be restocking as soon as I’m done with my first bottle. When I return to the office, I’ll definitely be sticking to my new haircare routine for a healthier scalp."

"This mineral-rich, plant-based dry shampoo is formulated with organic rice and tapioca powder to absorb oil efficiently and detox the hair, while also improving overall scalp health and hair texture."

"The cold-pressed formula (which allows for more potent ingredients) will work overtime to break down product buildup, while delivering essential nutrients that stimulate hair follicles for healthy hair growth."

"I approach scalp and hair health the way I think of dietary needs," Schaefering told us. "We may need more of something specific that will benefit us, however, if we only give our body that one thing for long periods of time, we will have an abundance of x, and then need more of y."

"While it takes a few months of hardcore commitment to get manes back on track and officially detoxed, my hair did feel cleaner than when I shampoo regularly. I’m going to stick it out and can’t wait to see what my locks look like after the 4-month mark."

"The vegan formula includes Fulvic Acid, which restores the hair’s microbiome, and Rice and Tapioca Powders that absorbs oil better than talc can."

"This towel from Act+Acre has been a game changer to my hair routine. My hair air dries much faster, and the microfiber towel eliminates damage and breakage—a win-win for the lazy-girl hair routine."

"The formula is rich in vitamins and antioxidants like rosemary, which stimulates circulation in the scalp and promotes healthy hair follicles, helping hair grow longer and stronger from the root. It also contains vetiver, lavender, and amaranth oil, all of which strengthen and moisturize the hair shaft, helping to keep it from breaking as it grows."

"The oil loosens up the buildup like an oil cleanser loosens makeup, and then a good healthy shampoo and rinse clears the gunk away. Act + Acre has a whole mantra about how their cold-pressed tech makes the oil better, but I’m just going off results at this point and the results are that my flaky scalp is no more—good stuff!"
