5.0 out of 5 stars Stops the loss, does cause some regrowth, January 15, 2010

I bought this product for my husband, and he's been using it for over a year now. He didn't start using it until he had a sort of "island" in the front of his hair from the hair loss (sorry if you read this, honey). He had an area about the size of an orange of scalp clearly visible through the thinning hair on the back of his head as well.

It took about four months for us to really start to see a change.

The visible scalp at the back of his head is now completely filled in. The hair in that area is only slightly thinner than the rest of his hair, and it's a huge, clearly visible improvement in this area.

The "island" has mostly filled in. He still has thin hair up front, and his receding hairline did not magically reappear. However, he has a TON of new growth in the front, and even though it's filled in quite a bit, we still see baby hairs showing up all the time in previously bald spots. Bad news is, these take forever to grow and some spots are still bald.

He used to run his hands through his very short, military hairstyle and find a dozen hairs on his hand afterwards. The new loss has completely stopped. He has more hair than when he started using Nioxin a year ago and he hasn't lost any additional hair, even though he was losing at an alarming rate before he started using this system.

My opinion is that YES this product works - for him, at least. It also makes his hair feel very clean, it smells nice and it doesn't irritate his skin.

Yes, it's a bit pricey. But my husband's hair is so short that in one full year we've only bought two starter kits, and he still has about half a bottle of each product left. Honestly? I think my husband feels the price is incredibly reasonable because it not only grew a lot of his hair back, but stopped the loss so he can keep what he's got!

My thoughts are that if you immediately started using Nioxin as soon as you noticed some definite thinning or hair loss, that you'd have even better results than he did and that you'd be able to hang on to what you've got much longer.

We will be buying him Nioxin from now on. As an additional benefit, I suffer from an itchy scalp (caused by eczema) and nothing clears it up without irritation faster than this shampoo.

3.0 out of 5 stars very good product, very expensive though, September 20, 2008

It works well, but you get a much better deal when you buy the cleanser and scalp therapy in the 33.8 ounce bottles, thats 67.6 ounces for around 65 dollars.

Here, you get 8.4 ounces and an extra scalp treatment for 30 dollars. Do the math. it is more expensive for the starter kit in the long run.

If you want to try it out and see if it works for you I would suggest this starter kit, especially if you have shorter hair. Otherwise, from my experience it works well and if you've got the cash, get the bigger bottles.

I have lost a great deal of hair from my 2 pregnancies and now, I find I have alopecia. I have to keep my hair up with a barrette because my hair loss is a great deal on the front of my head. Actually, if you were a bird and looked at my head, it would look like there's a river on top of my head. The hair loss starts at the front and the continues to the back. It's not pretty, so I never leave the house with my hair down.

Anyway, my review of the Nioxin System 2 Starter Kit isn't really complete, but here's what's happening so far:
* my hair feels really, really CLEAN; this product smells lovely, very minty and my hair actually feels nice. Usually it feels kind of wiry.
* I've only used it twice and already I see the initial hair loss other reviewers have mentioned. It scared me a bit and I wondered if I should stop using it but, really, the only thing I have to lose if I don't use Nioxin is more hair, so what the heck, I'll keep using it.
* My hair feels thicker, heartier. Don't know how else to put it. Usually, when I pull it back into a ponytail, it feels like there's not much there. Now, it takes a bit of effort to gather it all up. Maybe I'm imagining it!!

I will update this review as I continue using it. So far, though, so good!
