Preserves Pigment | Reduces Shedding | Fine to Medium Hair

A travel-size, skincare-grade shampoo + conditioner duo formulated to address the early signs of aging hair. Powered to preserve pigment while gently cleansing, hydrating, and reducing breakage. For best results, use consistently for 3–6 months.

WHAT IS IT?

 

The Shower Duo Minis are TSA-friendly versions of Wash Shampoo and Smooth Conditioner. Wash, powered by our patented Mela-9® Complex, preserve pigment while cleansing and balancing the scalp. Smooth hydrates, softens, and reduces breakage for shinier, more manageable hair. Same formulas as the full sizes—perfect for travel, the gym bag, or trying the routine. Color-safe, dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic.

Heads up: Results like pigment preservation and thicker, fuller hair typically appear after 3–6 months of consistent use. Minis are for travel/trial and won’t deliver those results on their own.

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

HOW TO USE

 

1. Apply Wash to scalp and roots, massaging in and lathering.
2. Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
3. Apply Smooth from mid-lengths to ends.
4. Leave on as desired, then rinse.
5. Use 3–5 times per week for maximum results.

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

STUDY RESULTS

 

After using Wash Shampoo and Smooth Conditioner:
94% reported improved hair
83% said hair felt softer
77% reported fewer new grey hairs

Based on a 24-Week Consumer Perception Study to assess the efficacy of Arey Wash & Smooth on hair health and greying on 35 participants by an independent research team.

    unexpected cure!

    I ordered Arey shower duo when I noticed a gray hair growth. This has helped soften the wirey texture of my new grays. I had been scared to try it because I believed I depended on medicated dandruff shampoo. What I didn't expect was for my dandruff to GO AWAY with the duo!!! no more harsh shampoos for me. my hair is so soft and shiny now. what an awesome surprise!!!

    Love using the shower duo

    The shampoo and conditioner work really well. I’ve been using the duo, along with the capsules, daily for almost a year now, and I noticed my hair was visibly shinier, manageable, and more healthy looking almost immediately. I notice a difference when I have to use a different shampoo/conditioner, and it bounces back as soon as I go back to the duo. My grays are more blended and much less noticeable now.
