Reviews

Natural hair

"Hair felt softer after first use. My hair looks thicker and fuller after using The Recovery Hair trio consistently for a few weeks. I love the way my hair looks and feels with this system. The product quality is great and only a small quantity of the thick and creamy shampoo and conditioner is needed to wash and condition scalp. It’s a little pricey but worth it."

— Lestroy M. (5/5)

Exceeds Expectations

"I am an avid user of the Actiiv Recover System. My stylist turned me onto it when I was complaining about hair thinning a decade ago. I used the product with great results and took a break from it. My stylist and I were consulting about my hair and I said I was going to restart my usage of the system again. Within 3 months we both noticed a huge difference in the amount of hair I have and how much fuller my hair looked. In addition to less hair on my bathroom floor to clean up, I have been wowed by the results and how my hair looks and feels. I LOVE using this system. I highly recommend trying it and would be astonished if you did not have good results within a short period of time."

— Rebecca R. (5/5)

Hair restoration

"I’ve used the Recover shampoo and conditioner for at least 4 years. I have very thin/fine hair. This shampoo is perfect for my hair. It feels great and doesn’t weigh it down. One of my pictures were used of how much hair loss I had when I started using this product and there is a definite proof of it works. I will use it again."

Q&A

I lost a lot of my hair bc I got covid, 2wks later I got a severe head cold n then 2wks later I got a sinus infection. How do I know this will work for me?
Great question—and completely understandable given what your hair has been through. Hair shedding after illness (including COVID, stress, or infections) is actually quite common. What’s most important to know is that this type of shedding is typically temporary, and supporting your scalp during this time can make a meaningful difference in how your hair looks and feels as it recovers. ACTIIV is designed to help create a healthier scalp environment using clean, plant-based actives—so your hair has the best possible conditions to grow in stronger and fuller-looking over time. While results can vary from person to person, many customers in similar situations report seeing: Less hair shedding over time Improved thickness and fullness Noticeable changes within 4–12 weeks with consistent use Because everyone’s hair journey is different—especially after illness—there’s no way to guarantee exact results. But what you can expect is a high-performance, salon-quality formula designed to support visibly healthier, denser-looking hair when used as directed. The key is consistency: using it regularly and allowing it to sit on the scalp for the recommended time to let the actives do their work. If you have specific concerns about post-illness hair loss, it’s always a good idea to check in with a healthcare professional as well—but from a hair care standpoint, ACTIIV is a strong, supportive option to help you through the regrowth phase.
Can you use it for color treated hair
Hi Sadie! Yes, all of our products are color safe. Thank you! The Actiiv Team
Do you have to keep using it once you get the desired results
Hi Lisa! Unfortunately, there is no "Cure" for hair loss, so yes we suggest using Actiiv even as you achieve desired results to maintain your thickness and fullness. One benefit of our hair loss products is that if you have to quit for any reason, it will take about as long as you have been using Actiiv products to revert to where your hair was before! You will not see additional or rapid shedding if you stop using our products. We appreciate your question, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions! Thank you The Actiiv Team
The directions say to use it every other day. If you wash your hair daily what is recommended for the days you don't use this?
Hi Jessica- Thank you for your question! If you wash your hair daily, we recommend using your normal cleansing shampoo on the days you do not use Actiiv. Thank you! The Actiiv Team
