WHAT IS IT?

 

Wash is a shampoo that treats your scalp like skin by removing oil and product buildup without stripping essential moisture. Powered by our patented Mela-9® Complex, it works at the root to help preserve natural pigment while a light, creamy lather rinses clean for soft, balanced hair. Gentle enough for daily use and never heavy; pair with Smooth Conditioner or Masque Deep Conditioner for added hydration. Use 3–5× per week; most see softer, stronger hair with less grey hair growth in just 3–6 months with consistent use. Color-safe, dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic.

100% natural cedar + sage scent; made without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, PEG, formaldehyde, or dyes.

HOW TO USE

 

1. Apply to scalp and roots, massaging in and lathering.
2. Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
3. Follow with Smooth Conditioner (for fine to medium hair) or Masque Deep Conditioner (for medium to coarse hair).

Use 3–5 times per week for maximum results. Wash is sulfate-free and concentrated, so the suds are naturally smaller. For a richer, creamier lather, mix with a little water in your hands before applying. 

Pro Tip: To prioritize slowing greys and support repigmentation, pair with Not Today, Grey and use both consistently for 3–6 months.

STUDY RESULTS

 

After using Wash Shampoo and Smooth Conditioner:
94% reported improved hair (at 16 weeks).

Based on a 24-Week Consumer Perception Study to assess the efficacy of Arey Wash & Smooth on hair health and greying on 36 male & female participants ages 22-50, all with 30% or less grey, by an independent research team.

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.

    Nice smell

    Good shampoo. I’ve been using the whole system for about 6 months and I think I have less grey. The texture is definitely better.

    Actually delays the grey

    I recently turned 30 and starting noticing grey hairs popping up and would pluck them at the root (bad idea, I now know). After 2 months of using the Wash Shampoo, the hairs grew back pigmented. I actually haven't noticed a grey hair since.

    Hi Ciera, thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with Wash Shampoo! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you've seen such positive results after just two months of use - it's amazing that the hairs that you had plucked grew back pigmented and that you haven't noticed any new greys since.

    Your experience is a perfect example of how Wash can help support the natural pigmentation process when used consistently. Starting to use the product early in your grey journey, like you did at 30, often leads to these encouraging results of slowing the progression of greys while supporting healthier hair overall.

    It's so encouraging to hear success stories like yours, especially from someone who caught their greys early and took proactive steps. Your results after just two months show exactly what we hope customers will experience with consistent use of Wash.

    Thank you for sharing your journey with us - your review will definitely help others who are just starting to notice their first greys and are looking for an effective solution!
