DESCRIPTION

 

To The Root® features our Mela-9™ Complex—an advanced, patent-pending blend of antioxidants and a clinically proven peptide that targets grey hair at the source. This powerful formula helps slow down greying and supports natural repigmentation, while panthenol boosts volume for thicker, fuller, and healthier hair.

Dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and oil-free, it won’t leave a greasy residue, making it ideal for all hair types.

USAGE

 

Apply liberally on wet or dry scalp or beard 1-2 times per day. A single bottle will last approximately 30 days when you dispense 6-8 pumps per day. Distribute evenly by gently massaging into skin with fingertips and allow to dry. *Results may vary. To The Root® is most effective when used early in the greying process. Because hair growth cycles take at least 1 to 4 months, it may take a few months before you see results.

Opting in to Auto Replenish is the best way to maintain lasting results. When using To The Root® the recommended 1-2x per day and dispensing 6-8 pumps, a single bottle should last approximately 30 days.

Tested in a Gold Standard Clinical Study with Not Today, Grey

To The Root was studied with Not Today, Grey and together they were clinically shown to reduce grey hair growth and improve overall hair health.

SEE FULL CONSUMER STUDY

Results based on a 6-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the effects of The System on the appearance of grey hair on 173 subjects, ages 28-65, all less than 25% grey. Results determined by blinded clinical counting and/or clinical photo grading.

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.

    Easy to use

    I've been using this product daily, and it has been easy to incorporate into my routine. I was concerned that this product would make my hair greasy or frizzy in between wash days, but it hasn't at all. It's too early to notice any changes with greying, but my scalp feels healthier than it has in years and my hair feels healthy as well.

    I can tell my scalp is healthier but too soon to tell with grey. I have noticed a few in the past few months so I want to get ahead.
