Act + Acre is a brand that could, legit, swear under oath of it’s place as the world’s best hair care company in a court of law. No joke, this Irish founded, New York based company was created by hair boss Helen Reavey and her husband Colm Mackin and boasts a completely clean approach to achieving your best hair yet. Uncomplicated yet indescribably effective, each Act + Acre product is created by a cold pressed method so as to contain the integrity of each carefully chosen ingredient. Kicking the million trillion products/steps in the butt, the Act + Acre process is a effortless three step affair, beginning with the brand’s hero product, the Scalp Detox which works to eliminate all the product buildup and sweat that naturally gathers in the scalp over time - moving on to the cleanse and conditioner which leaves your hair smooth, soft and totally hydrated. If there’s one hair care brand you try this year let it be this one!

Founded by celebrity hair goddess, Jen Atkin, Ouai is one of the industries new little hotties on our shelves. Atkin, who has worked as a hairdresser since - well as long as social media has existed - and includes Chrissy Teigen, Jenna Dewan Tatum, and just about every member of the Kardashian-Jenner family as some of her most famous clients. It was no shocker so when she brought out her own brand. However, unlike many celebrity endorsed or created brands and products, this is actually the shit. Tried and tested (as all these brands are here in the article), Ouai is one to go back to again and again.. and again. The matching shampoos and conditioners are a staple in my shower, while the Hair Oil is something I use daily, not to mention the Texturising Spray, which is other level. For anyone looking for a haircare supplement too, the three available from Ouai are totally legit and once you start you just can’t get enough. You can be sure too that the brand continues to grow with it’s loyal customers as Atkin uses the feedback she receives on social media to better existing products and create new ones.
