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

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

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

  • Safeguard

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

  • Nourish

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

  • 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.

    Arey To The Root

    I like it very well. If I may, may you consider and discuss with your team abt adding rosemary as an ingredient and for a scent to the 'Arey To The Root' scalp spray plz? I heard good things about Rosemary being beneficial to hair and it would also give an herbal scent to it. Also, Calendula has a nice scent too, which I prefer better, and is also good for scalp & hair, as well. Just a suggestion I hope you will consider. Thank you for your hair products!!

    Twice a day!

    I’ve been using this serum 2x a day for several months. It’s very easy to apply and then I use a scalp massager to rub it in. It feels so good. I have been able to increase the time between coloring my hair.
