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.

WAIT A SEC®
Our gentle, non-aerosol powder dry shampoo adds volume and refreshes hair without weighing it down. Wait A Sec® is formulated for all hair types with a subtle tint that won't leave a white residue and includes our signature all-natural fragrance of cedar and sage to help even lived-in hair smell refreshed.

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.

WAIT A SECOND
Shake well and apply to dry hair and scalp in sections, holding the bottle about 1-2” from the head. Use fingertips to distribute amongst scalp and hair.

Opting in to Auto Replenish is the best way to maintain lasting results. One bottle of Wait A Sec typically lasts around three months. If you use 5 pumps a day or less, we'd recommend a 90-day frequency. If using more than 5 pumps a day, we would recommend a 60-day frequency.

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.
Wait A Sec® powder dry shampoo extends time between washes by absorbing excess oil and adding volume.

HOW TO USE:
  • Apply 1-2 pumps per section of hair, about 8" from the scalp.
  • The subtly tinted powder blends well with all hair colors and won’t leave a white residue.

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

Wait A Sec Dry Shampoo

  • Enhance

    Mica adds a subtle tint that blends well with all hair colors and adds vibrancy.

  • Volumize

    Silica strengthens and adds fullness to the hair strand.

  • Extend

    Aluminum starch absorbs oil, leaving the hair feeling refreshed.

  • Nourish

    Dehydrated antioxidants and a clinically efficacious peptide support hair pigment and growth.

    Feels good, looks good

    I was just starting to have some greys at my 50th birthday and I decided to treat myself to this shampoo and conditioner. It’s hard to say what would’ve happened in the last six months with my hair if I hadn’t, but so far, I think my greys look diminished maybe and my hair is definitely smoother and feels a lot healthier.!
