The Essentials Kit

The Essentials Kit combines four core products, creating a complete routine to tackle greys and revitalize hair health from root to tip. Start with Not Today, Grey and To The Root, clinically validated to work at the cellular level and take your routine even further in the shower with Arey’s Wash Shampoo and Smooth Conditioner for lasting results.

  • Cleanses, hydrates, and balances hair with clean, nourishing formulas

DESCRIPTION

 

WASH
A proactive shampoo infused with our Mela-9™ Complex, blending antioxidants and peptides to support pigment preservation and enhance hair strength, leaving strands looking and feeling thicker and healthier.

SMOOTH
Nourishing yet weightless, Smooth conditioner locks in moisture with a blend of antioxidants and natural extracts, leaving hair soft and sleek without buildup. Lightly scented with cedar and sage for a fresh, natural finish.

NOT TODAY, GREY
Our clinically-validated daily supplement is formulated with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to create the optimal environment for preserving pigment and maintaining hair health. By nourishing your body from within, it supports thicker, fuller hair and helps slow the progression of grey hair.

TO THE ROOT™
This clean, oil-free topical serum harnesses the power of our Mela-9™ Complex—an advanced blend of antioxidants and a clinically proven peptide. Clinically-validated to slow and repigment grey hair, it adds volume while stimulating healthier, denser strands. 
 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 deeper conditioning.

NOT TODAY, GREY
Take 2 capsules daily, ideally with food.

TO THE ROOT™
Apply generously to wet or dry scalp (or beard) 1-2 times daily. Dispense 6-8 pumps per application, and gently massage into the skin, allowing it to dry naturally. Consistency over 1-4 months is key, as hair growth cycles take time.

How to Apply

The Essentials Kit addresses grey hair from the inside out and the outside in. 

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.

Not Today, Grey addresses grey hair from the inside-out.

HOW TO USE:
  • Taking two Not Today, Grey supplements each day supplies the body with the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that support production of hair pigment at the cellular level.
  • Tip: Take the supplement after a meal, instead of on an empty stomach.
To The Root® utilizes a clinically effective peptide combined with powerful antioxidants to preserve hair’s natural color and help repigment greying strands.

HOW TO USE:
  • Apply on wet or dry hair.
  • Create a part, and pump the serum directly onto your scalp.
  • Apply 3-4 pumps to areas of concern 1-2 times per day.
  • You can also pump the serum onto your fingertips to get harder to reach areas.
  • Gently massage in.
  • Allow serum to absorb in for 10 minutes, then blow dry or let hair dry naturally.

    The Shower Duo
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    LOVE is an understatement

    I have to admit I was skeptical at first. Could a shampoo and conditioner, really support her health? But, as an avid skin care, consumer it didn’t seem like that far of a stretch. And let me just say I have been so pleasantly surprised my grades are dramatically less wiry, and my hair is so soft and healthy. Even my hairdresser friends have commented on how healthy my hair looks. Don’t sleep on this set!

    My new go to for hair care

    Been using arey for over a year now. My stylist noticed formerly grey roots are growing back pigmented when I come back for hair color touch ups. Best part - literally no hair in the shower drain. Seriously, that alone is worth every penny. As an added - and a significant for me - benefit, this is literally the only shampoo I’m able to use for so long without needing to swap: it doesn’t clog my hair, doesn’t make it oily, been consistent 3 days between washes since the start. Hair looks great, thick and shiny. Sounds too good to be true but it is. Switched to their supplements from another brand as well. My only neat pick - the bottle cap design is impossible; I travel often and the shampoo leaks terribly every time (the only spills in my twenty years of travel is arey shampoo). Once I had the entire bottle spill all over my suitcase and clothes during a 4 hr flight . I now travel planning that it’ll leak : zip lock bag with a cotton ball pad u der the cap, bit ridiculous. Emailed support about it once - no response . Otherwise supports been great too - super quick and polite. I’m definitely a fan and have pretty much all of their products on the shelf now. What a find!

    So far so good

    So far so good. It’s hard to tell if it’s working for the greys yet because it’s only been less than a month, BUT my hair definitely feels fuller and softer which I am loving! I am going to continue ordering this. I’m using with the scalp serum, scalp exfoliator, and the heat protector.
