Who is The Essentials Kit best for?

The Essentials Kit is designed for fine to medium hair and anyone looking for a complete, everyday routine to support hair health and help slow the appearance of greys. If you have medium to coarse hair or need deeper moisture, we recommend The Restorative Kit, which includes Masque Deep Conditioner instead of Smooth Conditioner.

What’s included in The Essentials Kit?

The Essentials Kit includes four core products: Wash Shampoo – Gently cleanses while supporting scalp health and pigment preservation Smooth Conditioner – A lightweight conditioner that smooths, detangles, and strengthens fine to medium hair To The Root® – A daily scalp serum that targets greying at the follicle with antioxidants and peptides Not Today, Grey™ – A daily supplement that supports natural pigment production from the inside out Together, they create a full daily system for healthier, more resilient hair.

How is The Essentials Kit different from The Restorative Kit?

Both kits support hair health and greying, but they’re tailored by hair type: The Essentials Kit: Best for fine to medium hair and includes Smooth Conditioner for lightweight hydration The Restorative Kit: Best for medium to coarse hair and includes Masque Deep Conditioner for richer, deeper moisture All other core components remain the same, so you can choose based on your conditioning needs.

How do I use The Essentials Kit?

Wash Shampoo: Use 3–5 times per week to cleanse the scalp and hair. Smooth Conditioner: Apply after shampooing from mid-lengths to ends; leave on a few minutes, then rinse. To The Root®: Apply daily to the scalp, focusing on areas where greys appear first; massage gently. Not Today, Grey™: Take daily, ideally at the same time each day for consistency.

Will The Essentials Kit help slow greys and improve hair health?

Yes. The Essentials Kit combines nutrient support, topical follicle care, and moisture-rich conditioning to help: Preserve existing pigment Support healthier follicles Improve density and reduce breakage Enhance softness and manageability

When will I start to see results?

With consistent use: Immediate: Softer, more hydrated hair 1-2 months: Improved strength and reduced breakage 3–6+ months: Fewer new greys and fuller, healthier-looking growth Results vary based on individual biology and how early you start, but consistency is key.

Can I add other Arey products to this routine?

Absolutely. Many customers layer in: Good Night, Grey® for overnight follicle repair Masque Deep Conditioner as an occasional treatment if hair needs extra moisture The Arey Scalp Brush to improve application and circulation

Is The Essentials Kit safe for color-treated or chemically treated hair?

Yes. All products in The Essentials Kit are color-safe and gentle enough for treated hair, including keratin and other chemical services.

Is The Essentials Kit vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free?

Yes. All products are vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free, and made without harsh detergents or synthetic fragrances.

Is the Not Today, Grey™ supplement in The Essentials Kit safe?

Yes. Not Today, Grey™ is made in the USA in an NSF-certified, GMP-certified, and FDA-registered facility to ensure quality, safety, and consistency. Every batch is produced to meet strict manufacturing standards and is tested for purity and potency, so you can feel confident taking it daily as part of your routine. All ingredients are included at levels within established tolerable intake ranges for adults. As with any supplement, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider if you’re pregnant, nursing, or taking other medications.

WHAT IS IT?

A four-piece regimen that works in concert: Not Today, Grey™, our daily supplement, feeds follicles from within with a physician-formulated blend of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help defend natural pigment. An easy daily ritual that’s flavorless, gentle, and with no aftertaste. On the scalp, To The Root® Serum delivers our patented Mela-9® Complex (antioxidants + a clinically proven peptide) to target pigment preservation and support thicker, fuller growth, while Wash Shampoo layers the same complex into a sulfate-free, creamy lather that lifts buildup without stripping. Smooth Conditioner finishes with lightweight, strand-strengthening care that locks in moisture for slip, shine, and an air-dry that doesn’t fall flat. Together, you get a balanced scalp, stronger strands, and hair that looks denser and more vibrant. For best results, use daily and consistently; most see visible improvements in 3–6 months, especially in the early stages of greying. Color-safe, dermatologist-tested, and hypoallergenic.
