How to cancel Keranique subscription and stop recurring charges

What Keranique is and how the subscription works

Keranique is a hair care subscription service that delivers products for thinning hair directly to your door on a recurring schedule. The company sells shampoo, conditioner, regrowth treatments, and styling products through an auto-renew model, which means charges repeat automatically on your billing date unless you cancel.

The Keranique subscription model explained

You are not paying for membership access. Instead, you purchase a product subscription with scheduled deliveries, discounts ranging from 10% to 20%, and free shipping on most plans. Keranique advertises "cancel anytime" messaging, but the default setting is automatic renewal, so your card charges again every billing cycle until you take action to stop it.

The company does not maintain a Malaysia office or local support desk. All customer service, billing, and cancellation requests route through United States channels. You can contact Keranique at 1-888-237-4131 between 9 AM and 9 PM EST, Monday to Friday. The time difference can create delays if you need urgent help, so plan ahead and contact them well before your next billing date.

Typical Keranique pricing in malaysia

Prices are converted to Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) when you purchase, but the original store operates in USD. Recurring product examples include the Volumizing Follicle Strengthening Conditioner at approximately RM96 every 2 months, The Thicker Fuller Hair Deluxe System at approximately RM438 monthly, and The Love Your Hair Regrowth System at approximately RM264 every 3 months. These prices fluctuate with promotions and USD exchange rates.

Your consumer rights under malaysian law

Your right to cancel and receive refunds is protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599) and the Distance Contracts Regulations 2020 under that Act. These laws give you enforceable protections against deceptive billing practices and automatic renewal traps.

What the consumer protection act 1999 guarantees you

Under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, any supplier-including Keranique-must provide you with clear, transparent information about subscription terms, billing dates, cancellation procedures, and renewal policies before you make a purchase. If that information is missing, buried, or misleading, the contract term itself is unfair and potentially unenforceable.

Furthermore, distance contracts (including online purchases) trigger a statutory 14-day cooling-off period under the Distance Contracts Regulations 2020. You have the right to cancel within 14 days of receipt without penalty, provided you have not used the product substantially. If Keranique fails to provide cancellation instructions clearly at the point of purchase, that failure is a breach of your consumer rights.

Consequently, if Keranique charges you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request and they fail to process it, you are entitled to pursue a refund claim. The company bears the burden of proof that you authorised the charge.

Your legal position on automatic renewal

Malaysian consumer law treats automatic renewal contracts with suspicion. Keranique must obtain your express, affirmative consent to auto-renew-not just consent to purchase once. That consent must be clear, easy to revoke, and accompanied by reminder notifications before each charge. If Keranique's cancellation process is deliberately obscured or difficult to find, a regulator may classify that as an unfair contract term under Section 24 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999.

If you believe Keranique has breached these protections, you can escalate your complaint to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (MDTCA). Yafee recommends documenting all communications, charges, and cancellation attempts before escalating.

How to cancel your Keranique subscription step by step

Follow these steps to cancel before your next billing cycle. Start at least 5 to 7 business days before the charge date to allow time for processing and to handle any delays caused by time zone differences.

Step one: gather your subscription details

Before you attempt to cancel, log into your Keranique account and screenshot your active subscription information. Note the product name, renewal date, billing amount, and payment method. Search your email inbox for order confirmations, account statements, and any emails with the words "subscription," "autoship," or "renewal." Keranique sends links to manage subscriptions in order confirmation emails, so save these for reference.

• Screenshot your active subscription page with renewal date visible.
• Save the most recent order confirmation email.
• Record the exact amount billed and the card ending in X digits.
• Note whether your order started as a trial or promotional offer.
• Set a calendar reminder for 5 days before the next billing date.

Step two: cancel through your online account

Log into your Keranique account at the official store. Look for a "Manage Subscription" or "My Orders" section in your account dashboard. Click on the active subscription and select the cancellation or "pause subscription" option. Confirm the cancellation and wait for a confirmation email. Save this email as proof of cancellation.

If the cancellation links are not visible or do not work, proceed immediately to the next step. Do not assume the subscription has stopped.

Step three: contact Keranique customer service by phone

Call 1-888-237-4131 between 9 AM and 9 PM EST, Monday to Friday. Provide your full name, order number, and the email address on file. Request cancellation of your active subscription and ask for a cancellation confirmation number. Repeat the cancellation request aloud and ask the agent to confirm the next billing date has been removed from your account.

Write down the agent's name, the date and time of the call, the confirmation number, and the exact words they use to confirm cancellation. This documentation is essential if a charge appears after cancellation.

Step four: follow up via email within 24 hours

After your phone call, send an email to Keranique's support address (typically [email protected] or the address on your invoice) with the subject line: "Cancellation Confirmation Request - Order [Your Order Number]."

In the email, include the following:

• Your full name and account email address.
• Your order number and the date you signed up.
• The date and time of your phone call and the agent's name.
• The confirmation number provided by the agent.
• A clear statement: "I formally request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately. Please confirm in writing that no further charges will be applied to my account."
• A request for written confirmation within 48 hours.

Yafee recommends sending this email via a platform that provides read receipts or delivery confirmation, such as Gmail with read receipt enabled or a tracked courier service email.

Step five: monitor your next billing cycle

Check your credit card or bank statement on the original billing date. If no charge appears, your cancellation was successful. If a charge does appear after you have submitted a cancellation request, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge as unauthorised. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation email and phone call notes.

How to get a refund for unauthorised charges

If Keranique charges you after you have cancelled, you have several pathways to recover the money. The speed and likelihood of success depend on how you approach the dispute.

Contact Keranique first for a refund

Email or call Keranique within 30 days of the unauthorised charge with the subject line: "Refund Request - Unauthorised Charge After Cancellation." Provide your cancellation confirmation number, the date you cancelled, the date of the unwanted charge, and a clear request for a full refund. Most companies will refund a charge within 14 days if you can prove you cancelled in time.

Yafee has helped thousands of customers recover refunds by providing clear, timestamped documentation of their cancellation attempts. Keep a detailed file of all communications.

Dispute the charge through your bank

If Keranique does not refund within 14 days, contact your bank and file a dispute (sometimes called a "chargeback"). Tell your bank that you cancelled the subscription and did not authorise the charge. Provide your cancellation email, confirmation number, and proof of the disputed transaction. Under Malaysian banking regulations, your bank must investigate and respond within 30 days.

Escalate to the ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs

If your bank denies the dispute or if Keranique refuses to refund, submit a formal complaint to the MDTCA. You can file online at www.kpdnhep.gov.my. Include copies of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, bank statements showing the unauthorised charge, and all correspondence with Keranique. The MDTCA can order Keranique to refund you and may impose penalties on the company for violations of the Consumer Protection Act 1999.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling Keranique

Cancellation failures often stem from preventable oversights rather than company refusal. You can avoid most pitfalls by following a methodical checklist.

Mistake one: assuming the website cancellation worked without confirmation

Many customers cancel online, see a confirmation screen, and assume the job is done. Keranique's account dashboard may show a "cancellation pending" status that never actually processes. Always follow up with an email or phone call within 24 hours to confirm the subscription is truly stopped. Do not wait until the billing date arrives to discover the cancellation failed.

Mistake two: cancelling too close to the billing date

Keranique may process charges up to 48 hours before the scheduled renewal date. If you cancel on the day of renewal, the charge may already be in transit. Cancel at least 5 to 7 business days before your renewal date to build in a safety buffer. Account for time zone delays between Malaysia (UTC+8) and US Eastern Time (UTC-5 or UTC-4 in daylight saving period).

Mistake three: not saving cancellation confirmation numbers

If you cannot provide Keranique with a confirmation number or phone call details, the company can claim no record of your cancellation request exists. Always request and write down every confirmation number, agent name, and call time. Save emails with headers that show timestamps. This documentation is your only proof in a dispute.

Mistake four: cancelling only the trial without stopping autoship

Keranique often converts trial orders into automatic subscription shipments. You may think you cancelled the trial, but the autoship continues separately. Always confirm that the autoship itself-not just the trial-has been terminated. Your cancellation confirmation should explicitly state that all future recurring charges are stopped.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation is not instant, and your final shipment may still arrive. Understand what to expect in the weeks after you submit your cancellation request.

Your final shipment and refund options

If a package arrives after you cancel, you are not obligated to keep it or pay for it. Under the Distance Contracts Regulations 2020, goods sent after a valid cancellation request are considered unsolicited. You may refuse delivery or return the package at Keranique's expense. Do not open the package or use the products if you want to claim a full refund; open packages are treated as used goods and cannot be refunded under most circumstances.

Contact Keranique to arrange a return and request a refund. Yafee advises taking photos of the unopened package and the shipping label to document the condition at return.

Refund timelines

Keranique must refund your payment within 14 days of receiving your returned goods, or within 14 days of your cancellation request if no goods were shipped. In practice, refunds often take 7 to 21 business days to appear on your statement as the transaction reverses through the payment processor. If 21 days pass without a refund, contact your bank to escalate.

Checking your account for hidden reactivations

After cancellation, log into your Keranique account once per month for the next 3 months to confirm no new subscriptions have been created. Some customers report surprise reactivations after they cancel, often triggered by promotional emails or accidental clicks. Check your email spam folder for reactivation confirmations.
