I never thought I’d be dealing with grey hairs until I was near retirement. Then, I turned 26. And noticed my first few greys?! Needless to say, I freaked. 

In truth, they weren’t that noticeable, but now, several years (and greys) later I’m ready to get serious. I wasn't ready to commit to regular root touch ups at the salon, which is why I tried Arey

The Wrinkle Cream of Haircare

Rather than cover up or simply halt incoming greys, Arey promises to re-pigment wirey, sad, colorless newbies making their way onto your scalp using a proprietary hair technology. If this has you raising your eyebrows, know that Arey is serious about its science – in fact, the brand recently conducted a 6-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, third-party clinical
 study of the effects of The System on the appearance of grey hair (I told you they weren’t messing around…). 

According to Dr. Kenneth Conrad (MD, FACP & Arey Chief Medical Advisor), “the study showed an impressive statistically significant effect on grey hair, with 88% subjects in the active System group showing no progression of grey hair compared to baseline.” Not only were these results seen by counting grey hair – they were also confirmed with photographic analysis. The study also showed positive findings on subjects’ hair thickness, fullness and shine.

Needless to say, I was eager to see if Arey actually worked that well on me. I was willing to give the products the time they needed to show themselves, so I used the regimen the brand helped me build for six months. Here’s what happened…

One Month In, My Hair Felt Healthier 

At around the one month mark, I noticed that my hair was thicker, healthier, shinier, and shedding less—so much so, I actually looked forward to washing my hair (this hadn’t been the case for years, given how much hair I used to lose in the shower). Oh, and I was instantly obsessed with the brand’s dry shampoo, which was the best I had ever used. 

After Six Months, My Hair Looks More Vibrant (& Less Grey!)

It took several months of committing to the Arey system (more on that below), but six months in, Arey is absolutely working. The real magic started happening around the four month mark, and my results have continued to improve over time. I’m now noticing:

  • Significant hair growth
  • Improvement in overall volume 
  • Increased strand strength and less breakage
  • My natural color is more vibrant
  • Fewer greys popping up

Not Today, Grey

From $28.90

Not Today Grey is a once-daily oral supplement that delivers vitamins, minerals and antioxidants with the added benefit of Fo-Ti (an ancient Chinese herb that is largely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to repigment hair and build blood flow).  

Of all the steps, I have to say this is one of the few that I’ve not been amazing at keeping up with—not because it’s not effective, but mostly because I’m on a #healthjourney, where my medicine cabinet is already full of supplements so I need to be mindful about many things I’m taking at a given time.

HOWEVER, when things calm down on my end, I fully intend to revisit Arey’s proprietary blend. It is one of the few hair supplements I’ve seen on the market that is not overloaded with things like biotin—instead, promising a more balanced, synergistic combination of vitamins and nutrients that support one’s overall health.

To The Root™ Serum

No matter what I’m doing, where I am, or where I’m going, Arey’s serum is a must-have at all times. This proactive and clean topical serum leverages the brand’s patent-pending Mela-9™ Complex to specifically target and repigment grey hair while also promoting thicker, fuller, healthier hair. 

Without fail, I use To The Root every night. It’s dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and oil-free, which means my hair never feels greasy or looks weighed down the next day. I simply apply the serum across my hair line, focusing a little heavier on grey-specific areas, and massage it into my scalp using my finger tips.

The Shower Duo

I would like to take a moment of silence for Arey’s Wash & Smooth shampoo and conditioner. I’ve been hooked since Day 1. Of the two, the Wash is the most critical given that it contains Arey’s patent-pending peptide, but that doesn’t mean that Smooth isn’t a star in its own right. With potent ingredients like Argan Oil, Arey’s conditioner supports aging hair with or without Mela-9™.

No joke, this shampoo / conditioner combo has been a tried-and-true part of my routine since I tried it last fall. One hot tip: Arey recommends keeping Wash in your hair for several minutes. I find it easiest to do on nights that I’m exfoliating (or shaving my legs), so I can pass the time while letting the ingredients “get to work.”

Live In Mist® Leave-In Conditioner

Every day, we (hopefully) use SPF to protect our skin from UV damage and exposure. But what about our hair? Arey’s mist is designed to smooth and detangle hair while also providing clinically-proven protection against UV rays.

Now that it’s hiking weather in LA, I have found myself using the leave-in conditioner a lot more like a sunscreen for my hair before I know I’m about to be in the sun for a long time, and have noticed that my hair is always silky smooth post-hike—even if I’ve been sweating (which is novel!). I will surely be taking this on vacation with me this summer.

This dry shampoo is hands down one of the best dry shampoos I’ve ever used. Wait A Sec® is a science-backed powder dry shampoo that adds volume and includes Arey’s clinically efficacious peptide combined with antioxidants to preserve and stimulate pigment.

Every time I use it, I’m amazed how it manages to blend in well with my hair, immediately bringing dry, Day-3, unwashed hair back to life (when I just need to push things one more day). I also revel in knowing that I’m managing to treat my greys while also not looking like “a trash human.”

Scrub Scalp Exfoliant

Even though I wash my hair twice a week, I make sure to use Arey’s Scalp Exfoliant once a week. Again, if it’s so important to exfoliate our faces and skin to prevent build up, why wouldn’t we do the same for our scalps?

I’ve seen a huge difference in using this clarifying, deep-cleansing exfoliant, including way less hair fall. For years, I couldn’t figure out why I was losing so much hair, but now I know that things like sweat and dead skin cells can block the hair follicles, which can result in premature aging and hair loss. No thanks!

Here Are The Products I’m Using To Keep The Greys At Bay:

Not Today, Grey | 2 capsules every day after food (in the evening, post-dinner).

To The Root | I apply on wash days after shampooing and conditioning to wet hair. I also apply in the evening before bed (it’s designed to be used multiple times between wash days without building up residue).

Wash + Smooth | On shampooing days, I rinse my hair and massage Wash into my scalp and allow it to sit for up to three minutes and then rinse. I follow with Smooth conditioner on the midshaft and ends of my hair. 

Mend | I use this as I would any leave-in conditioner. (It’s also a great styling cream and heat protectant.)

Live In Mist | After towel-drying, I apply two-to-four pumps, then scrunch to style. I also use it as sun protection. 

Wait A Sec | Once hair is dry or on days in between washing, I use this on the hair near the scalp to add volume, texture, and balance natural oils. 

Scrub | For days when my hair may not need to be cleansed, but my scalp could use a deep clean.

Would I Recommend Arey? Wholeheartedly.

Getting out of the grey area – without dying my hair! – has been a total gamechanger. This stuff seriously works, and I plan to continue using it and monitoring my results.

If you’re at all interested, I’d recommend starting with The System and building from there. Plus, the brand is constantly innovating and coming out with new amazing products (like Calm It Down™, the first-ever scalp serum that is clinically effective to soothe and nourish the scalp after it is exposed to hair dyes, relaxers or other chemicals).

If you’d like an extra boost of confidence in the hair department, Arey is totally the way to go.
