Waste of Time and Money

I started off using it 2 times a week. Didn't see any results. Started using it 3 times a week and still see no results. I always set a timer for 5 minutes to make sure i was following directions.

Great for the price! It's comparable (an affordable dupe practically) to the Nue Co. Scalp detoxifier! It smells nice and due to the packaging, it's easy to apply with the Funnel-like nozzle! It's eye catching as well. My scalp feels fresh and clean after each use and my roots are happier!

Seems very mild when applying… like, how is it really exfoliating my scalp?!? But somehow, it does. I used my regular shampoo & conditioner and finished with Balancing Act Serum. No itch, no flakes. Please keep restocking Balancing Act!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
