Great results!, May 16, 2009
This review is from: Nioxin Starter Kit, System 4 (Fine/Treated/Noticeably Thinning) (Health and Beauty)
My hairdresser recomended Nioxin to me since my hair was breaking and thinning after hitting menopause. I had tried Rogaine for women and it made my hair break faster which was frightening. I love the results I've gotten with Nioxin and I recomend it to any woman to try. My hair is healthy, the natural color is much better, and I only have normal breakage. It smells herbal but it is not unpleasant.

Good Trial Kit, October 26, 2009
This review is from: Nioxin Starter Kit, System 4 (Fine/Treated/Noticeably Thinning) (Health and Beauty)
Products like this for hair loss seem to be on the pricey side, so I wanted to try this one out before spending a lot of money on the full size versions. I give the Cleanser (shampoo) and the Scalp Therapy (conditioner) high marks. The smell is not unpleasant, and I have a very sensitive nose. Whether or not they are helping my hair, I can't say for sure yet. It is a trial size and I've only been using it for a couple of weeks. But my hair seems healthy and soft. Definitely no worse off than it was before and maybe shedding a little less.
The only product in the package I didn't like was the Scalp Treatment which is like a leave in conditioner. It made my roots very stiff and almost sticky. Horrible feel and did not brush out easily.
I plan on buying the full size of the Cleanser and the Scalp Therapy in the hope that continued use will bring even more benefit.

Thicker, shinier hair - and maybe more of it!, January 20, 2009
I'm a thirty year old woman. About two years ago, I started seeing more and more hairs fall out every time I showered. It didn't concern me much because I had really thick hair, which I used to dye frequently with chemical dyes. (I use natural products now, from [...].) After a while, I started looking for something to make it look thicker and slow down the loss, especially because that my mother and gmother had extremely thin hair later in life. I'd like to avoid that, if possible...a friend of mine who is a hair model recommended Nioxin to me.
I've been using it about a month and these products really do make a difference. I don't have to do any additional styling or add any products, and my hair looks great. I don't even blow-dry anymore, and it looks shiny and styled. AMAZING! The stuff you apply to your scalp is a little sticky, but it works sort of like a mousse, if you do get anything in your hair instead of on the scalp. I did have to add their "Bliss" spray-on conditioner, because my hair is long and has always been likely to tangle, which made combing a pain.
I can't definitively say that it "makes" your hair grow. It does make it fall out a little more than usual at first, which definitely scared me. The website says that it's cleaning out the pores, which makes old, dead hairs fall out, so that new hair can grow in. (Gross!) The only reason I didn't get freaked out and stop using it is because it looked SO MUCH THICKER & BETTER!
Then, in the past couple days, I've noticed more tiny little hairs along my hairline. Yay! I've also been taking GNC Hair, Nails and Skin, so it really could be either product...or both. Anyway, it makes your hair look thicker and healthier, which is well worth the cost, at least in my opinion.
