The short answer

Act+Acre's Scalp Detox Oil is a 20-minute pre-wash oil with baobab, moringa and a basil leaf blend that breaks down buildup and sweat while moisturizing the scalp. It's worth it if your scalp feels dry or congested and you'll use it weekly. It's a ritual, not a quick fix.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: It gives the scalp the same kind of reset you'd give your face. The ingredient percentages are listed, which we appreciate.
Skip it if: You don't have 20 minutes before a wash, or your scalp is already oily and fine.
The catch: $48 for 3 oz, and you need a double shampoo afterward to get the oil out.
