Reviews

Soft Hair, Better Waves, Less Dandruff

"Within a few uses of this shampoo and the matching conditioner, my hair felt AMAZING. I often find my scalp gets itchy after drugstore shampoos but this one leaves my head feeling so much better. Love that they are local to BC and their commitment to good quality ingredients and sustainability."

— Autumn (5/5)

Left my Hair so Soft

"This was a sample included with a purchase. I love the scent and I was happy with how soft, yet manageable my hair feels. I will likely be buying a bottle of this!"

— Christine M. (5/5)

Best Shampoo, Cant use anything else.

"My hair stylist got me on AG CARE. I absolutely love their shampoo and conditioner. My hair has never been cleaner and healthy than when I use these products. Always buy from AG CARE"

— Deborah M. (5/5)

Not right for me

"I really wanted to love these products! I bought this shampoo and conditioner hoping it would help my oily and sensitive scalp but I still need to wash my hair every day. . . I stopped using the conditioner as it leaves residue on my short hair and it already feel oily the next morning after washing my hair the night before. I would not recommend this combo for short oily hair. I'm disappointed."

— Vanessa R. (3/5)

Sleek, light

"Made my hair sleeker, dries faster, feels lighter and rinses clean. Happy to switch to a Canadian product!"

— Vienna L. (5/5)

better than expected

"i bought this conditioner as i’ve recently become very sensitive to many chemicals and fragrances. i use the balance shampoo and it works well for my sensitivities, so i thought this conditioner would do the job and smell the same. it smells different, and very good, like dessert actually! the fragrance is not overpowering and can be fully rinsed out of your hair. i even accidentally got it in my mouth and it didn’t taste bad. the conditioner is also fairly moisturizing and works well with my (short) curly hair, which i wasn’t expecting as i usually need to use hair-mask levels of conditioner. it doesn’t leave my scalp looking or feeling oily, just softer hair :) very happy with this product, a little goes a long way. will definitely be getting a refill once i need it!!!"

— Annie M. (5/5)

Leaves hair soft shiny and healthy

"I have been really happy with this product. The texture is lightweight and easy to apply and it spreads evenly through my hair. After using it regularly my hair feels smoother looks noticeably shinier and is easier to manager. It forms lather easily on the first wash and there is almost no breakages on my hair."

— RiyaM (5/5)

Need to wash my hair more often

"It makes my hair feel pretty nice but gets greasy again after two days. I don’t think it’s the best option for fine hair"

— T (3/5)

Great Clarifying Shampoo

"I used this as a clarifying shampoo and it was great! It’s gets rid of build up in the scalp - I typically use a volumizing mousse or oils throughout the week so this helps to ensure that there’s no excess build up. My scalp did feel more refreshed and less oily throughout the weeks. Overall i’d recommend to use this as a refresher throughout the week especially if you typically use other hair products."

— KarmanD (4/5)

Pretty good for body and shine. Excellent to control breakage on fine hair!

"I switched to AG Care from a product that I loved but couldn't use anymore due to ethical concerns with the company. I was nervous about trying something new but I am pleasantly surprised with the ACV line. It cleans well and the conditioner does a great job. The thing that makes me happiest is that my hair has definitely been strengthened by this line. I have much less breakage than I used to and there are way less hairs on my comb. That is a huge win in my book! I look forward to trying out more AG products!"

Q&A

Does this shampoo/conditioner help with hard water buildup?: Thank you for reaching out to us. Great question, Balance would be great to help hard water deposits it lightly removes build up and is gentle, silicone-free and sulfate-free and can be used daily if you wish.
Can you use balance and boost daily or will it dry out your hair?: Great question! The Organic apple cider vinegar in BALANCE Apple Cider Vinegar Sulfate-Free Shampoo (12 oz) and BOOST Apple Cider Vinegar Silicone-Free Conditioner (12 oz) balances the scalps pH and maintains healthy hair and scalp while gently cleansing and enhancing shine and can be used daily.
Is this a daily use shampoo?: BALANCE Apple Cider Vinegar Sulfate-Free Shampoo designed to gently cleanse the hair and scalp. This can be used as a daily shampoo or as desired.
I’ve noticed inconsistencies with the viscosity from bottle to bottle. Sometimes it’s like thick jelly and other times very runny. It can be difficult to apply on clients when it’s very think and also the pump doesn’t seem designed to handle a thicker mixture. Any advice? Thanks: We are aware that separation can occur in Balance and this is due to it's high percentage of naturally derived and plant-based ingredients. The separation does not affect the integrity or performance of the shampoo. We recommend rolling the bottle in the palm of your hands for 1 min periodically vs,. shaking to remix the product; and to store in room temperature, 20-25 degrees C (68-77 degree F). While using AG, we suggest emulsifying product in the hands first to help it spread better over hair/scalp. AG offers a 100% guarantee on the performance on all our products. Your experience is important to us, if you continue to have concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly at customersupport.ag.care for further support.
There aren’t any directions on the bottle, how much should I use (dime/quarter/pea sz)? I am assuming wash once as it states wash and rinse?: A little goes a long way when using our products. We recommend keeping the water moisture in your hair and depending on the density and texture of your hair use a quarter size, of for finer texture you can start with half of this amount. For further support please feel free to reach out to us at customersuppost@ag.care.
