WHAT IS IT?

 

To The Root® is designed to support long-term scalp and strand health while adding weightless volume. Powered by our patented Mela-9® Complex—a science-backed blend of antioxidants and a clinically proven peptide—it helps preserve natural pigment at the source and nourish follicles for thicker, fuller hair. This non-greasy formula suits all hair types and won’t weigh down roots. Most see stronger, healthier hair within 3–6 months with daily, consistent use. Color-safe, dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic.

HOW TO USE

 

1. Apply daily to the scalp on wet or dry hair.
2. Part into sections and apply 1–3 pumps per targeted area.
3. Massage in; do not rinse. Let absorb, then style as usual.

Pro Tip: For optimal results in slowing greys and supporting repigmentation, pair with Not Today, Grey, our daily supplement, and use both daily for 3–6 months.

CLINICAL RESULTS

How to Apply

How to apply To The Root scalp serum
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.

How It Works

TO THE ROOT® SERUM

  • Stimulate

    Stimulate

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

    Safeguard

    Antioxidants including Fo-Ti and sesame seed help reduce oxidative stress in the hair bulb.
  • Nourish

    Nourish

    Extracts from wasabi, ginseng, soybeans and hops provide nourishment to the roots and promote cell turnover to create healthier hair.
  • Volumize

    Volumize

    Pantothenic acid (B5), provides anti-inflammatory properties and is involved in activating the proliferation of cells in the skin barrier and also helps bind water to the skin, adding shine.

FAQs

It is a daily scalp serum designed to slow the growth of grey hair, support hair density, and improve overall hair and scalp health.

2. Part into sections and apply 1–3 pumps per targeted area.

Most people start noticing changes like healthier, shinier, fuller hair within 1–3 months of daily use. Visible changes in grey growth and density typically occur over 3–6+ months, depending on the percentage of grey hair, lifestyle factors, and consistency.

No! Unlike many scalp serums, To The Root® is completely oil-free. Once it dries, there’s no residue, buildup, or stickiness—just clean, lightweight roots. In fact, the formula can actually add volume at the root, making it easy to incorporate into your regular styling routine.

  • 13% decrease in grey hair growth vs. a 10% increase in the placebo group

Results typically appear within 3–6 months of daily, consistent use, and were determined through blinded clinical counting.
