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.

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
    Does take time but it works

    So I’ve been using The System for approximately 6 months and it works. Mind you not the first 2-3 months but shortly after I noticed less grays and the ones that were gray were not like white gray anymore, but rather gray brown. This to me is improvement as it shows that the repigmentation actually works just as Arey stated and the less white greys I have the happier since the latter blends better and has a better texture with the rest of my hair. I am very pleased since it does what it claims to do and will continue to use.

    The System
    Rated 5 out of 5 stars
    Just started using it

    I'm excited to use this system. It has been just over two weeks, and while I would not expect improvements yet, I can say that the serum is easy to use and does not leave my hair feeling sticky or with residue, and the supplements work well with my routine and digestion. Looking forward to the next few months!
