How It Works

Calm It Down Scalp Serum

  • Soothe

    Extracts from Brazilian pepper trees and Australian aniseed nettle relieve redness and irritation.

  • Relieve

    Pentasodium Tetracarboxymethyl Palmitoyl Dipeptide-12 (and) Tripeptide-79 help to relieve scalp stress and manage inflammation.

  • Stimulate

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

  • Safeguard

    Antioxidants including Tangerine extract and Fo-Ti help reduce oxidative stress in the scalp.

How to Apply

Calm It Down™ is the first ever clinically effective post-hair dye scalp serum to soothe, reduce redness and counteract oxidative stress.

HOW TO USE:
  • After rinsing hair dye or other chemicals used on the scalp, follow with Wash shampoo and Smooth conditioner
  • After rinsing Smooth conditioner, comb the hair away from the face.
  • Shake Welll
  • Depending on hair thickness, fill 2-4 pipettes and apply directly to wet scalp, working from the front hairline to the back starting at your natural part.
  • Massage in with your finger tips. Do not rinse off.
  • Follow with additional applications as needed.
  • Air-dry or blow-dry to achieve desired style.

    Works for itchy scalp

    Got this serum to help my sensitive scalp when I have my hair dyed/highlights done, but I started using it after every wash (2-3x/week) & it has helped my itchy scalp in general.

FAQs

No. Calm It Down™ is designed to be left on the scalp to allow full absorption of the key scalp-soothing and nourishing ingredients. We recommend waiting 10 minutes after applying Calm It Down™ before blow drying. When applying Calm It Down™ before a color or chemical treatment, make sure it has 4-6 hours to fully absorb into your scalp skin.

Yes. Calm It Down™ is a clean, water-based serum that is formulated for all hair and scalp types. It delivers ingredients that are beneficial for your hair and scalp health.

Calm It Down™ is formulated without oil or fragrance and will not leave hair feeling weighed down or greasy.

Yes. Calm It Down™ contains Arey’s Mela-9™ complex, which is a combination of antioxidants, extracts and a clinically effective peptide. Mela-9™ complex creates an environment for healthy hair growth while Calm It Down™ combats hair damage caused by oxidative stress by decreasing free radical buildup.

Yes. Calm It Down™ contains Arey’s Mela-9™ complex, which is a combination of antioxidants, extracts and a clinically effective peptide. Mela-9™ complex provides proactive ingredients that help preserve existing pigment (your natural hair color) and boost future pigment production to reduce new grey hair growth. Consistency is key to seeing results, so here’s how we recommend using Calm It Down™ to delay grey hair:

- Use Calm It Down™ daily until your scalp is soothed and calm.

- Use Calm It Down™ for a few days post coloring and then switch to using To The Root™ twice daily to maintain your optimum scalp health, prevent, slow, and repigment grey hair, as well as stimulate hair growth and thickness.

For even better results with hair growth, health and repigmentation, we recommend taking our daily hair health nutritional supplement Not Today, Grey.

If your scalp still feels like it needs more soothing or conditioning, you can safely use Calm It Down™ for as many days as needed after your hair dye or chemical application.

Yes. Calm It Down™ is formulated to relieve oxidative stress caused by all types of hair dye or chemical treatments that have prolonged contact with your scalp skin.

Yes. To protect your scalp from potential irritation, you can use Calm It Down™ 4-6 hours before applying hair dye to your scalp. The product will safely absorb into your scalp skin but won’t affect your color results. That’s because Calm It Down™ does not prevent the hair color from effectively penetrating your hair strand as normal.

Here’s how we recommend using Calm It Down™ and To The Root™ for your best hair and scalp health:

- Use Calm It Down™ daily until your scalp is soothed and calm.

- Use Calm It Down™ for a few days post coloring and then switch to using To The Root™ twice daily to maintain your optimum scalp health and boost your hair health.

Calm It Down™ and To The Root™ both contain our Mela-9™ Complex. To The Root™ is designed to be used twice daily, is lightweight, and adds volume. Calm It Down™ can also be used daily and is intended to soothe irritation, hydrate, and condition the scalp as needed.

Calm It Down™ is a water-based serum that nourishes and cools your scalp to protect it from exposure to hair dyes, relaxers, or other chemicals. You can effectively use Calm It Down™ to soothe your scalp skin in two easy ways:

1. Apply Calm It Down™ to your scalp before coloring or chemically treating your hair – gently massage 2-4 pipettes of Calm It Down™ into your scalp skin 4-6 hours before coloring or chemically treating your hair. This helps protect your scalp from irritation.

2. Apply Calm It Down™ to your scalp after coloring or chemically treating your hair – first rinse your hair dye or chemical treatment, then shampoo and condition as normal. Next, apply 2-4 pipettes of Calm It Down™ directly to your scalp and massage it in with your fingertips. There’s no need to rinse. Calm It Down™ is quickly absorbed into your scalp to soothe any irritation and boost your hair health with Arey’s Mela-9™ complex.

You can continue to use Calm It Down™ once daily for several days for continued soothing and nourishing effects on your scalp.

No. Calm It Down™ is not formulated to be added to hair dye. It is designed to be applied to the scalp before or after on-scalp hair color or chemical treatments.

It depends on how much of your scalp gets exposed to dye with each application. If the dye touches 50% or less of your roots, Calm It Down™ should last you about 5-7 post-dye applications. If you use dye on your whole head, Calm It Down™ should last for about 3-5 post-dye applications.
