Its plant-based, oil-based formula helps reduce the look of breakage and strengthen the hair shaft, while adding hydration, shine and softness. Use it daily to maintain the appearance of denser, healthier-looking hair. It works well as a standalone product or as a complement to the Recover System, and is best suited for textured and frizzy hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy oil-based?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eActiiv makes its thickening serum in two versions: a water-based formula for normal to fine or low-density hair, and this oil-based formula for textured hair. Textured, curly and coily hair tends to be drier because natural scalp oils have a harder time traveling down the hair shaft. An oil-based serum adds nourishment and slip while it works at the scalp, without leaving hair feeling stripped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey ingredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCastor seed oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e a rich plant oil long used in hair care to condition the scalp and hair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCastor oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e naturally rich in fatty acids that help keep hair soft and moisturized.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaprylic\/capric triglyceride:\u003c\/strong\u003e a lightweight, coconut-derived emollient that enhances softness and helps reduce tangling and dryness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula is vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free.
