DESCRIPTION

 

WASH
Our proactive shampoo for aging hair contains The Mela-9™ Complex, our patent-pending, science-backed combination of antioxidants and a clinically efficacious peptide to slow and repigment grey hair while delivering thicker, fuller, healthier hair.

SMOOTH
Our nourishing and clean conditioner includes antioxidants and extracts that work to retain moisture inside the hair strand while leaving a conditioning barrier on the exterior.

100% natural fragrance from cedar and sage. Free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, polyethylene glycol, formaldehyde and dyes.

USAGE

 

WASH
Wet hair and apply a liberal amount to hair and scalp, massaging into a rich lather. Allow lather to remain on the scalp for several minutes. Rinse hair well and follow with Arey Smooth conditioner for best results.

SMOOTH
Following Arey Wash Shampoo, apply from mid-shaft to ends of hair. Rinse immediately or leave on longer for a deeper conditioning experience.

Opting in to Auto Replenish is the best way to maintain lasting results. If you wash your hair every 1-2 days, we recommend signing up for a 30 day auto-replenish plan. If you wash every 2-4 days, a 60 day frequency would be right for you.

How to Apply

Wash is a gentle shampoo with proactive ingredients that stimulate pigment production and support hair health.

HOW TO USE:
  • Dispense a silver dollar-size amount into your hand and work the product into a lather.
  • Wet hair and apply to scalp and roots.
  • If more lather is needed, add more water and continue to massage into the scalp.
  • Remember to focus on the back of your head as well.
  • Allow the product to sit on the scalp for several minutes.
  • This allows the active ingredients to fully absorb into the scalp.
  • Rinse thoroughly, and follow with Smooth conditioner.
Smooth is a nourishing and clean conditioner that helps retain moisture inside the hair strand.

HOW TO USE:
  • It leaves a conditioning barrier to help hair to look healthier without feeling weighed down.
  • Depending on your conditioning needs, apply a quarter to silver dollar size amount to mid shaft and ends.
  • Tip: Conditioners should not be applied on or near the scalp.
  • Smooth can be left on the hair for several minutes for deeper conditioning.
  • Use a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute before rinsing.
  • Best when used with Wash shampoo.

How it Works

Wash Shampoo

  • Stimulate

    Our clinically efficacious peptide helps with repigmentation by stimulating the MC1-R (melanocortin 1 receptor).

  • Prepare

    Wasabi extract, sesame seed extract and zanthoxylum bungeanum fruit extract work to help the active ingredients penetrate the scalp and access the follicle

  • Nourish

    Ginseng, fo-ti and caffeine provide nourishment to the root to promote cell turnover and promote healthier hair growth

  • Volumize

    Panthenol plays a role in activating the proliferation of cells in the skin barrier, and also helps bind water to the skin and hair, balancing and adding volume to both

Smooth Conditioner

  • Nourish

    Hydrolyzed barley protein and coffee extract work together to build internal strength in the hair strand

  • Protect

    Jojoba and shea butter work to seal the cuticle and protect the hair from heat and environmental stress

  • Volumize

    Panthenol actively attracts and retains moisture in the hair strand, helping it look and feel more volumized

    Best shampoo and conditioner I've found so far...

    I have a sensitive scalp that has changed over the years and is one of those scalps that regularly changes. In the past I have had to switch to a different shampoo and conditioner every couple of months like clockwork because my scalp just gets sick of it. I've been using Arey's shower duo now for 6+ months and it's the best I've found so far, I've not needed to switch to any other brands. I originally bought it for the repigmentation claims, I haven't noticed any of that, but my scalp is healthier than ever and I have no plans to try any other shampoo or conditioners while this one is working so well.

    Wash Shampoo

    The best shampoo I've ever used to help clear my dry patchy scalp. Not sure if it was psoriasis or eczema but the back of my head just above my neck would constantly itch throughout the day and I would eventually pick at the skin. It would get inflamed and raw which got thick and scaly. It was bad and I've tried tea tree oil and other natural products to help relieve the itch including shampoos that promised results. Nothing worked until Arey. The weird thing is I initially purchased it for my greys. Little did I know that it would clear my scalp issues as well! Literally amazing product. My scalp is now 100% itch free and beyond healthy! Wow

FAQs

Yes, all of our products are sulfate-free. Our Wash Shampoo creates a luxurious lather and leaves hair perfectly clean, soft, smooth and balanced. Bubbles willl also be smaller in nature than those shampoos made with sulfates. Just add a bit of water and you'll be able to create a lather.

Arey Wash Shampoo contains our patent-pending Mela-9™ Complex which works to slow and repigment grey hair. It also delivers healthier, softer, glossier hair. Like all of our products, Wash Shampoo is made with clean ingredients and is vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free.

Many conditioners contain silicones that are too heavy – especially for fine hair. They build up on your strands leaving your hair limp and lifeless. That’s why we use Amodimethicone, a silicone derivative, in our Smooth Conditioner. The light, protective coating that amodimethicone provides helps to improve the visible softness and shininess of the hair by smoothing the hair shaft and locking in moisture. Unlike other silicones, Amodimethicone won’t cause pore-clogging buildup on your hair and scalp.

Amodimethicone responds to the needs of each strand by locking in moisture, smoothing your hair, and controlling frizz. Amodimethicone not only smoothes your hair, but it also improves the texture of fine or wavy hair, controls frizz, repairs the hair shaft on damaged hair, reduces hair damage by preventing tangling, softens, and smoothes your hair and increases shine.

Wash and Smooth contain our signature 100% natural fragrance of cedar and sage.

Wash is a gentle shampoo, Smooth is a lightweight conditioner — and both are color-safe formulations.

Absolutely. Wash is a sulfate-free shampoo that's gentle enough to use on keratin-treated hair. Keratin treatments are designed to help manage texture. Using The System in tandem can help support healthy hair growth and manage texture for your future hair growth.
