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

    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

    Feels like its working

    This is a premium priced product and as such efficacy is key... I have been using arey for about a year now and I believe it is helping to reduce the appearance of grey hair. When greys show up at first they are very wirey and very white but after a bout a week they disappear into the rest of the hair. I have natural blonde hair and do not color my hair.

    Amazing!

    I began using Arey when I was 47 and starting to get a few gray hairs. I am 49 1/2 and still at the same point with only a few gray hairs. I am so happy that I don't have color my hair every month!

    Love it!

    I really like how effective the shampoo and conditioner are at cleaning my hair, without stripping it, plus the scent is very subtle and clean. I haven’t seen major improvements in my little grays going away, but understand this takes time, and is based on the frequency with which I use the products (which is only 1-2 times/week).

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.
