DESCRIPTION

 

Formulated with skincare in mind, Wash contains a combination of antioxidants and extracts that help to prepare the scalp by relaxing the skin and allowing access to the subcutaneous layers, resulting in follicle stimulation. Wash leaves the hair feeling clean but not over-cleansed. With each use, you're better prepared to stop grey hair growth and promote healthier, more youthful hair.

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

USAGE

 

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.

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.

Why 'Wash' is Your Key to Less Grey, More Vibrant Hair

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

    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

    It is working.

    It took a bit of patience but I am seeing less grey around my hair line and more vibrancy. It works well with the conditioner.

    Clean Smell

    I like the wash shampoo because it's light and not loaded with a lot of chemicals. When I wash my hair I enjoy the smell of a fresh wash without the extra perfume. It doesn't smell fake

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 will 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.

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