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.

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.

    Great results!

    I’ve been using root serum for 4 months and it’s definitely helped with hair growth plus I’m seeing less grey hair. At 53 years old, I’ve really started to see the grey hairs coming in and this has helped. I’m looking forward to continuing on with this product and even more results! My hair even looks fuller! Definitely recommend!

    Helps with texture of grays

    I use this serum along with the shampoo regularly and have been using about 9 months. I have not seen any repigmentation unfortunately but it has definitely smoothed out my grays so I will be continuing to use.
