An Interview with Co-founder Jay Small
We've all been there—one day, you have luscious, vibrant locks that glisten in the sun, and the next, you're standing in front of the mirror, wondering if you accidentally dusted your head against a bag of flour. But, for a moment, close your eyes and imagine a world where going grey was simply a choice, not an inevitability. That's precisely what Arey, the revolutionary hair care company, brings to the beauty industry. With their innovative and holistic approach to reversing grey hair, they are changing the game one strand at a time. We sat down with Jay Small, the mastermind behind Arey, to spill the tea on how the magic happens. Spoiler alert: after this, you might just end up breaking up with your box dye for good.
I've heard that Arey™ products can reverse grey hair, but can I start using it now as a preventative treatment before greys appear?
Yes, using Arey™ proactively before grey / white hairs appear is the ideal time to start. Similar to wrinkle cream, we suggest using our products to preserve both your hair pigment and texture before signs of aging like loss of pigment or changes in texture and density occur.
What is the expected timeline for hair color restoration with Arey™?
1-2 months will result in a healthier scalp, more volume in the hair and increased energy.
2-3 months will result in fuller, smoother, more vibrant hair.
3+ months will result in less grey hair growth and possible repigmentation in hair that has not turned fully white.
It's important to keep in mind that hair grows a half inch per month. The System works to support future hair growth, health and pigment. Consistency is key in seeing and maintaining optimal results with Arey™.
Is Arey suitable for all hair types, from kinky beautiful curls to sleek straight locks?
Yes, Arey is suitable for all hair types. Our core products are The System which includes a daily supplement Not Today, Grey and a topical serum called To The Root™. These products work synergistically to support the hair follicle from the inside out and the outside in. Regardless of your hair texture, density or natural color on a cellular level what the body uses to create hair is the same. The System combines vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and peptides to help support the production of pigment and overall hair health.
What are the key active ingredients that contribute to your product's effectiveness in restoring hair color, and how do they work?
To start, let's talk about why hair turns grey. Beyond genetics, there are other factors like diet and lifestyle that can contribute to what causes our hair to lose pigment, turn grey, and finally white. Research shows that vitamin and mineral deficiency along with exposure to oxidative stress can impact hair pigment and health. Surprisingly, there are many things we encounter daily that cause oxidative stress. For example UV exposure, smoking, hair dye, and even certain foods that we eat.
Our supplement Not Today, Grey supplies the body with vitamin, minerals and antioxidants that support cellular activity from the inside out. Specifically vitamins B5 and B7 that support cell turnover and help to improve the protein structure of the hair. B12 and FoTi fuel melanin production while black sesame and selenium help to counteract free radicals that result from oxidative stress.
Our topical products To The Root™, Wash, Scrub, Calm It Down™ and Wait A Sec contain our patent pending Mela-9 Complex™. The Mela-9 Complex™ combines antioxidants, extracts and a clinical effective peptide that work the outside in. This combination of ingredients includes antioxidants like FoTi, Black Sesame Seed and Wasabi Japonica Leaf Extract that neutralize free radicals due to oxidative stress in the scalp. The Mela-9 Complex™ is formulated to support the delivery of a clinically efficacious peptide PT-20 which helps with repigmentation by stimulating the MC1-R (melanocortin 1 receptor).
I've observed that some of the men in my life are getting grey hairs in their beards. Can I suggest using Arey™ products to treat this?
Yes, absolutely! I find that many men experience greying in their beard earlier than they do in their head hair. All of our products were formulated by skincare chemists and are safe to be used on the scalp and facial skin. I personally use Not Today, Grey and To The Root everyday, specifically applying To The Root to my beard after I get out of the shower. To The Root is free of oil and scent but contains panthenol which gives great control to unruly beard hair while also giving all the benefits of the Mela-9 complex.
I also recommend Wash and Scrub to my customers to provide gentle cleansing while supporting hair and scalp health. Like I mentioned above both of these products are safe to use on the scalp and the face to support the future hair pigment and health in both areas.
As we wrap up our exploration of Arey's innovative approach to restoring gray to its original color, it's clear that this brand is revolutionizing how we think about aging locks. With their unique blend of science-backed ingredients and a commitment to holistic health, Arey offers a beacon of hope for those looking to replenish their natural color and embrace vibrancy once more.
