Your Questions Answered, Before You Buy

A plant-based thickening shampoo treatment formulated for men's scalp and hair needs. Delivers cold-pressed botanical actives to nourish the scalp and make hair look visibly thicker. 90-day money-back guarantee.

Customers using ACTIIV routines often describe noticing:

  • Less hair shedding within 30 days
  • Hair feeling stronger and fuller within 60 days. 
  • Visible changes after 3 months of consistent use.

Our products are risk-free for 90 days.

ACTIIV is a scalp treatment system, not a commodity shampoo. Cold-pressed botanical actives, CO2 extraction, FDA-registered US manufacturing, and a 90-day guarantee justify the difference. At ~$1/day, it costs less than one salon visit per month.

A 7 oz bottle used every other day lasts approximately 90 days for most people — around 3 months per bottle. That works out to roughly $1/day for a salon-grade treatment shampoo and conditioner. Subscribe to save on every order.

For our best value, our 16oz Bottle may last up to 8 months when used as directed.

Yes — it's the most important step. The plant actives need time to reach the scalp. Rinsing immediately is the most common reason people don't see results. Set a timer: 5 minutes in the shower changes everything.

Yes — subscribe through to save 10% on every order and never run out. You control the frequency, can pause or cancel anytime, and there are no surprise charges. You can manage your subscription in your account portal.
