Nioxin Cleanser, System 1 (Fine/Untreated/Normal to Thin-Looking)

Nioxin Cleanser, System 1 (Fine/Untreated/Normal to Thin-Looking), 33.8 Ounce This expensive shampoo has been highly recommended for men and women with thinning hair. It was recommended to me at age 35 when my hair was thinning and now at age 70 I have a thick head of hair (Rogaine may have helped also). My female friend was also advised to use this product when she was going through chemo.

It is expensive, compared to traditional shampoos. I paid $30 for a 33.8 oz bottle recently. But it's worth it if it helps to regrow thinning hair.

However I now suspect the product I just purchased will not be effective to regrow thinning hair. At first I noticed the new product, unlike the old, made NO MENTION of its ability to remove Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the testosterone-based cause of baldness.

Next I noticed that the new product said simply: apply, rinse then add other Noxin products. The old product advised that the medicinal shampoo should remain on the scalp for at least ONE MINUTE before rinsing. This got me thinking that the new formulation lacked the DHT removing ingredients that would require remaining on the scalp for at least one minute.

Next I noticed that the ingredients were DIFFERENT, despite no notification from the manufacturer that this would occur.

And then I observed that the new product was distributed by Wella Haircare in CA and was made in Mexico; the former product was made by Nioxin Laboratories in Atlanta in the USA.

A bit of research revealed the basis for all these anomalies: Nioxin Research Labs were purchased in 2008 by Proctor and Gamble. Two years later, P&G closed the research lab, headquarters and factory in Atlanta and moved manufacturing to Mexico.

Nioxin's /P&G's website says that it's effective for thinning hair. This is the niche that it bought when it purchased Nioxin. It justifies charging $30 for Nioxin when P&G's Head and Shoulders sells for $3.50.

With all these changes by P&G, I question whether Nioxin today is the effective product of yesterday or a new commercial fraud.

So first off, I use the whole system (shampoo, conditioner, scalp treatment). The process is very quick every day. The shampoo feels and smells great (very minty). Now as far as growing back more hair, I'm not sure how effective that is. I have very very thin and ugly hair. It always has to be in a bun; otherwise, it looks terrible (limp, lifeless, oily). The rain is my enemy. Anytime it rains, I must run because if my hair gets wet in public, it's a disaster. Then I started using Nioxin and yes! It works! It TRULY TRULY works! So if you have thin hair like me, PLEASE TRY IT. This stuff is great. My hair is noticeably thicker and just bigger in general. I can now even wear my hair down and with some hairspray, it actually looks great. Wonderful product for thin haired people; definitely recommended. But do use the entire system as I think it makes a difference. My hair feels great now.

I have pretty thin hair and this shampoo gives it some texture which helps make it less rattyit is important to follow the directions though... lathering for 60 seconds opposed to say 15 seconds does make a difference.

I was living in a hair nightmare. I was having severe medical problems with reduced thyroid production and, among other icky side-effects (like gaining weight) *my hair was falling out.* In the shower, when i combed it--constantly falling out. My pony-tail was dying slowly and my self-esteem was also going down the drain. I needed big-time help, and I had heard the name "Nioxin" but that's all I knew. So I scheduled a consultation at a high end salon, showed them what was going on, and they sent me straight to the beauty supply shop for Nioxin. They explained that Nioxin exfoliates your scalp and allows new hair to grow in, and they said I should definitely try it. I was still a little nervous, but the people at the supply shop were SO SURE that this could help me--from their own personal experience to what they had learned at workshops, etc. They said that the minty shampoo would be great, that the conditioner wasn't as important for hair growth, and that the tonic you put right on your scalp was AMAZING. All true. They said to give it up to 7-8 weeks and not give up.

Six months later I went back to the salon and the people who had seen my "before" hair said, quote, "Whatever you've been doing to your hair, DON'T STOP." They showed me all the new growth I had all over my head, and places where my hair had been flat and now was filling in. My hair is soft, healthy, and i feel proud of it again. Try Nioxin. It will help you. Once you understand how it works, it just makes sense. And I've never written one of these review-type-things in my life--so you know I'm serious!
