Healthy hair routines aren’t one-size-fits-all—and neither are hair serums. At ACTIIV, our plant-based hair serums are designed to work synergistically with our shampoo and conditioner systems to target specific scalp and hair needs.

Whether the goal is thicker-looking hair, scalp balance, or lightweight hydration, here’s how to pair each ACTIIV Hair Serum with Recover, Renew, and Remedy for optimal results.

Pairing Serums with Recover

For thinning hair + visible density support

Why it works:
Recover Shampoo and Conditioner are designed to cleanse the scalp while supporting the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. Pairing Recover with a targeted serum enhances the routine by delivering lightweight nourishment directly to the scalp and strands—without weighing hair down.

How to use together:

  1. Cleanse and condition with Recover as directed

  2. Apply Water-Based Serum to the scalp (ideal for fine to medium hair)

  3. Use Hair Oil on mid-lengths and ends if hair is textured, curly, or needs extra softness

Who it’s best for:

  • Fine or thinning hair

  • Clients seeking visible fullness

  • Anyone wanting a lightweight, leave-in scalp treatment

Pairing Serums with Renew

For dry, stressed, or color-treated hair

Best Serum Match:

  • Thickening Hair Serum - Oil-Based

Why it works:
Renew focuses on restoring moisture balance and scalp comfort. Pairing it with the Thickening Hair Serum - Oil-Based adds an extra layer of plant-based nourishment, helping hair feel softer, smoother, and more manageable—especially for dry or chemically treated hair.

How to use together:

  1. Cleanse and condition with Renew

  2. Apply a small amount of Thickening Hair Serum - Oil-Based to damp or dry hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends

  3. Use sparingly on the scalp if needed for dryness

Who it’s best for:

  • Dry or brittle hair

  • Color-treated or heat-styled hair

  • Clients prioritizing softness and shine

Pairing Serums with Remedy

For dandruff-prone or oily scalps

Best Serum Match:

  • Thickening Hair Serum (Water-Based)

Why it works:
Remedy is formulated to help address dandruff while maintaining scalp balance. The water-based serum complements this system by delivering lightweight hydration and scalp support—without adding oil that could disrupt the scalp environment.

How to use together:

  1. Cleanse with Remedy as directed

  2. Apply Water-Based Serum directly to the scalp

  3. Avoid heavy oils on the scalp while using Remedy

Who it’s best for:

  • Oily or flaky scalps

  • Anyone needing scalp care without heaviness
