Slows Greys | Supports Repigmentation | Improves Density

Your complete regimen for aging hair—inside out and outside in. Clinically proven to slow grey hair growth, support repigmentation, and promote thicker, fuller hair in as little as 3–6 months with daily, consistent use in the early stages of greying.

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.

Heads up: Our packaging has been slightly updated. Please note that some images may show a previous version.

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 System
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Worthwhile tools for playing the long game

    Loves: The supplement helps me get in a lot of nutrients I know I don't get in my diet and wanted to take anyways. The spray serum is very easy to dispense and easy to take with me to the gym or while traveling, as it's small and doesn't leak or accidentally spray itself.

    Likes: This system is clinically proven to - at the very least - slow gray hair development. That is helping me trust the process and determine that this system is worthwhile for me. I'm about 2.5 months in so I haven't seen gray hair reversal, but I am accepting that I need to play the long game and am glad I started when I did (age 35, about 20% gray total and 40% by my temples).

    Dislikes: The spray doesn't seem very volumizing to me and can sometimes leave my hair looking flat. Applying it one spray at a time, as close to the scalp as possible, then rubbing it in before moving to a separate part of my hair has helped with that.

    Thank you for your wonderful review, Kelsey! We're thrilled to hear that you're loving the supplement for the added nutrients and finding the serum so convenient for your active lifestyle. It's fantastic that the clinical backing is helping you trust the process - you're absolutely right that this is about playing the long game. At 2.5 months in, you're still in the early stages, so consistency will be key for optimal results. Thanks for sharing that helpful tip about applying the serum one spray at a time close to the scalp - that's exactly the application method we recommend for best results. We appreciate you being a valued member of our community and look forward to continuing to provide you with exceptional haircare solutions tailored to your needs.

    The Essentials Kit
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Really nice so far!

    I was very skeptical of the Arey system but at the same time intrigued, so when they had a big sale I decided to go for it. I've only been using it for two months, maybe slightly less, so I don't see a reduction in gray, but I do feel like the rate of change has slowed! The shampoo and conditioner leave my hair feeling quite nice, and the supplements are fun to take. I don't use the serum as much as I should, which is purely due to my own laziness and/or being late for things so I forget to use it.
