Wash Shampoo

Delay the grey with our proactive and clean shampoo. Formulated with a clinically effective peptide, antioxidants, and extracts, Wash Shampoo stimulates cell production to combat signs of aging hair.

Key Benefits:

  • Slows grey growth and preserves pigment with our Mela-9™ Complex
  • Gently cleanses and balances hair
  • Stimulates follicle for stronger, glossier hair

*Based on a 24-Week Consumer Perception Study to assess the efficacy of Arey Wash & Smooth on hair health and greying on 35 participants by an independent research team.

DESCRIPTION

 

Formulated to nourish all hair types, including chemically treated, dyed, or heat-exposed strands, and with a skincare approach, Wash’s gentle formula cleanses thoroughly without over-stripping, creating the ideal environment to slow grey hair growth and support healthier, more vibrant strands.

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

    A 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

    Great Shampoo

    I am only a month in to using Arey, but I do see some benefits coming through. My hair is shinier and smoother, my greys are still there, but I believe that by continuing to use this product they will repigment.

    I love the way it smooths my hair. It's been. About two weeks and I see my very silver greys getting a bit darker.

    Love how this shampoo lathers and washed my hair. I have noticed the gray hair is taking longer to grow in. Would highly recommend.

    Best shampoo

    I'm in my 40s. I have tried every amazing brand out there. I am also a hair stylist so I know it all! This is the best shampoo hands down. My naturally frizzy hair is just beautiful when I use this shampoo. Only downside is it's not cheap! Very happy I found this brand.

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 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.

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.
