5.0 out of 5 stars Noticeable Improvement, August 17, 2009

This review is from: New!! Nioxin System 3 Cleanser & Scalp Therapy Liter Set (33.8 Oz Each) (Misc.)

I have hypoactive thyroid, which means my hair thins. About 2 years ago, I was talking to my doctor about what seemed to be a drastic hair loss. My medication did need to be adjusted, but she also suggested I try a new shampoo/conditioner to help with hair loss, and she wrote down "Nioxin." I was desperate, so I decided to give the product a try.

To be frank, I'm not bowled over by the scent. It has a somewhat medicinal smell, which can take some time to get used to. There is also a bit of a tingle when using the Scalp Therapy that might be a little unnerving at first.

However! I noticed within the first month of use (and I wash my hair 2 - 3 times a week), I had less hair in the shower comb, and less hair showing up on the bathroom counter. Also, since becoming hypoactive, I've become a "shedder" - with hair literally falling out as I stand talking to people. This had started to decrease.

After 2 years of use, the amount of hair in the shower comb is dramatically reduced, as well as the hair on the bathroom counter. I now rarely "shed," and if I do, it's like one or two hairs. My hair is staying on my head!!

When I was a young child, I had really, really thick hair, and prior to using Nioxin, that was becoming a memory. Now, my hair looks really thick and full, and it even feels thick and full. I do straighten my hair, which can cause extra stress, but my hair is still soft, shiny, and healthy. And I've noticed new hair growth! I'm just thrilled with the results I've seen so far. And I now get compliments on my hair - something that has not happened in quite some time!

It does take time and patience, but this product can work and work well. Now, if they can only do something about that scent...

5.0 out of 5 stars Works BUT It Takes Time!!, January 30, 2011

This review is from: New!! Nioxin System 3 Cleanser & Scalp Therapy Liter Set (33.8 Oz Each) (Misc.)

I purchased this after my hair began falling out everywhere - AND breaking off. It was either from a bad straightener (definitely do a strand test before hand) or from weight loss surgery. Either way I would see dozens of strands hanging from the bottom of my hair. It took over a month before I finally saw results. I was on my second set of the Nioxin before it worked.

It is pricey but you are better off getting the larger sizes as the smaller set runs out very quick. It doesn't foam or get sudsy but it does feel as if your scalp is on minty fire. My scalp actually hurt and throbbed the first time I used it for a couple of hours afterwards. It's like listerine for you scalp. The System 3 actually looks like a blue gel. Also, I would sometimes have to use an additional conditioner because Nioxin did seem to leave my hair feeling tangled and dry but a relative who used it (and said it stopped her hair loss too) did not have the tangled hair I did.

It worked for me but it took time and now my hairs aren't on the floor, all over the pillowcase, or on my sleeves. It will still fall out when I am styling with flat irons or generally being rough with it. I also took vitamins, biotin, and used the leave in spray from Nioxin that should be used daily. Also you may be able to find a better deal at your local discount big box stores or local salons but do get the larger size so you can give it a chance to see if it works.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed with the product, August 12, 2010

By

This review is from: New!! Nioxin System 3 Cleanser & Scalp Therapy Liter Set (33.8 Oz Each) (Misc.)

After reading the online reviews and talking with my stylist (she recommended the system 3 for my fine and color treated hair) I decided to give Nioxin a try. After several weeks of use I have not noticed ANY decrease in hair loss. My hair is now lifeless and is getting oily at a quicker rate.
Also, the smell of the shampoo and conditioner has a horrible menthol scent. I expected the scent to be bad based on prior reviews, but I just could not take it. I don't know if your mother ever used Vicks Vapo Rub on you, but just imagine that scent all over your head. I used to enjoy washing my hair, but now cringe at the sight of the Nioxin bottles when climbing into the shower.
Maybe I am the odd one out since the other reviewers really like this product, but I do not recommend it. If you are going to give this product a try I would start with a small bottle first. I spent the money on the liter set and now regret the investment.
