After all, an ayurvedic doctor once told me: ‘The hair is like grass. If the soil is all dried up or flooded, how can we expect it to grow?’ So anything that focuses on the scalp sounds like a good idea to me. Nioxin products have been the subject of research and discussion among hair care experts and scientists. Here are some examples of what they have to say, along with associated links: Meanwhile, the cleanser itself focuses on what Nioxin calls “the 3Ds of haircare” – Denisty, Derma and Diameter. Basically meaning that hair strands expand to look bigger than they actually are. Fake it ’til you make it, right?!

Now, don’t get me wrong: searching for thinning hair solutions can get tiring. Expensive. And messy. Still, from my own research and my own use, I found Nioxin’s hair loss shampoo to be pretty effective. I used Nioxin hair care products long after the takeover in 2008 and they worked for me! Panthenol: Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is a humectant that helps to improve the moisture content of the hair and scalp. According to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science, topical application of panthenol can improve hair strength and reduce hair breakage. I’m so sorry to hear about your bad experience…I know it’s not exactly a nice thing to witness!! But rest assured, seeing more hair loss is completely natural for the first 2 weeks. It happened to me, too (small little curls of hair, all over my shower!) but then it settled down…and that was me using the full system every day. Nioxin say themselves that this is to be expected as your hair gets used to the new formula. I don’t want to advise you on anything you’re not comfortable doing, however my opinion is that 4 times isn’t really enough to get the benefits of using it. If you feel ok to proceed, you could use it every second day and on the alternates, use a very gentle shampoo. Have a look at some natural oils you could try too and even do a DIY hair mask every couple of nights. Always use your best judgement though…even though I think you’d need to use it at least 2 weeks continuously for the shedding to stop, I don’t want to force you into anything!

But you could start with a hair loss prevention shampoo, and maybe the Nioxin scalp therapy conditioner. Or try a trial-sized kit instead. Here is the brand’s own Nioxin Shampoo Review: Full disclosure? I had already started to notice a tiny white fuzz in my patches prior to using Nioxin. Whether this was a result of my Bali trip, the effects of that snail/coconut potion or the healthier, more mindful lifestyle I adopted when I got home, I can’t say. Optional) Apply the Nioxin scalp treatment. Some Nioxin systems include a scalp treatment that is applied after shampooing and conditioning. This treatment is massaged into the scalp and left on without rinsing. But one treatment really made a difference – hence the reason for this Nioxin shampoo review. Welcome to Lady Alopecia’s thoughts on Nioxin Ever since I was a baby, I was allergic to some of the microorganisms that are a part of every person’s skin biome. This allergy resulted in dandruff, starting at age 13. For decades, I tried so many shampoos, both prescription and OTC. Many of them kept the dandruff in control for about 2 days. But this shampoo was different. It eliminated my dandruff. It is a strong shampoo and my theory is that it was able to get under the layer of skin containing dead cells, thus allowing the cells to be rinsed away. My dandruff is gone, and does not recur, but my scalp still gets irritated due the allergy. But it is so nice not to deal any more with the dandruff component of the problem.

Aside from being confusing, these turnarounds can be costly. And quite time-consuming – there’s no such thing as falling into bed without first rubbing an assortment of smelly products into your scalp. (So there goes your social life!) 3.
