Scalp Science

The scalp has a delicate microbiome and a low barrier function, meaning that it has difficulty maintaining + replenishing moisture. This can leave the scalp prone to dryness and irritation, and can often trigger an overproduction of sebum, resulting in an oily scalp for some.

Our Balancing Shampoo contains a validated ingredient derived from apple amino acids that reduces the negative impact of SLS a common cleansing agent that strips the skin and maintains the integrity of the scalp moisture barrier.

FAQ

Why doesn't the Balancing Shampoo foam?

The Balancing Shampoo is a creamy, concentrated blend of nutrients. It needs to be activated by mixing water in your hands to create a silky lather before applying it to the scalp. The more you can work up a lather, the better it will cleanse.

How often should I use the Balancing Shampoo??

Whatever feels right for you. Contrary to popular belief, it’s healthier to cleanse your scalp more often than not, but only if using gentle products that won't strip essential moisture, color, or chemical processing. Cleansing every 1-2 days is ideal for most hair types; however, our Balancing Shampoo was designed to suit any lifestyle and routine, so you can safely cleanse as often as you want or need.

How to use Act+Acre Balancing Shampoo:

On wet hair, apply 2 pumps of shampoo to the scalp, starting at the nape of the neck and working toward the hairline. Shampoo twice for optimal results. Rinse thoroughly. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately.

Perfect
Love this so much. Other detox shampoos felt okay but this felt salon worthy. My hair has never felt so clean before. And it keeps the buildup away for the next few days. I naturally produce a lot of oil so this is a major win for me.

Left my hair feeling very sticky - tried everything!
I’m not sure why I’m not seeing this in more reviews but this combo with the conditioner makes my hair SO sticky. It’s like it doesn’t wash out completely no matter what I do, and I’ve tried sticking it out to see if maybe it’s an adjustment phase. Sadly I’ll have to find another duo.

Recovering from a few Head & shoulder shampoos
my wallet was not the only part of me that didn’t farewell in those strikes. My hair dried out using head and shoulders, so I returned to A+A Hair cleanse. I have a lot of hair, so it takes a lot of doing to work the viscous cleanse thru. But on the second wash—as recommended—my scalp feels refreshed. My hair is no longer spreading into the air looking for moisture. Thank you.
