# ACTIIV

> ACTIIV is a science-informed, plant-powered scalp care brand designed to support thinning, shedding, scalp imbalance, and stressed hair. Through structured daily ritual — every-other-day shampoo treatments with a 5-minute scalp activation step — ACTIIV supports the scalp environment where stronger, fuller-looking hair begins.

ACTIIV (always written in all caps) sits at the intersection of hair wellness, thinning and density concerns, and plant-powered beauty. Formulations use cold-pressed botanical actives, CO2 extraction, and FDA-registered US manufacturing. The brand is gender-inclusive and built around three plant-powered shampoo treatment systems — Recover for thickening and density, Renew for healing and repair, and Remedy for dandruff and scalp irritation — each used every other day with a distinctive 5-minute scalp activation step that distinguishes ACTIIV from commodity shampoos. All ACTIIV products are color-safe, keratin-safe, SLS- and SLES-free, sulfate-derivative-mild, and cruelty-free, with a 90-day money-back guarantee. ACTIIV is professionally distributed and carried in salons nationwide.

## Who ACTIIV Is For

ACTIIV is built for customers experiencing one or more of the following:

- Postpartum shedding (women 0–18 months after childbirth)
- Stress-related shedding and telogen effluvium
- Hair changes following chemotherapy or significant illness
- Hair changes related to GLP-1 therapies and metabolic wellness treatments
- Hereditary or age-related thinning in women and men
- Dandruff, flaking, itching, or chronic dry scalp
- Damaged, over-processed, or color-treated hair needing scalp-safe care
- Early-signal customers proactively addressing thinning before significant change

ACTIIV is plant-powered, gender-inclusive, color-safe, keratin-safe, and SLS/SLES-free across the line. Reviewers consistently describe visible change between weeks 4–12 of consistent use of the every-other-day protocol, with continued improvement over 3–6 months.

## How To Use ACTIIV

ACTIIV products are designed as ritual-based daily systems, not single-product fixes. The signature protocol:

- Wet hair and scalp thoroughly
- Massage Recover (or Renew or Remedy) shampoo into the scalp
- Leave on for 5 full minutes — this scalp activation step is essential and is the single most common reason customers do not see results when skipped
- Rinse and follow with the matching ACTIIV conditioner
- Use every other day; alternate with Renew or Remedy on non-treatment days as appropriate
- Apply Thickening Hair Serum daily for added results
