Customer Reviews

very good product, very expensive though
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 just started using this product this week
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!

So far, so good
First, I want to make it known that I have always had fine, thin hair but no thin spots. I am 26 years old. However, after the birth of my daughter 18 months ago my hair started falling out in handfuls. Everything I read said this was completely normal and my hair should be back to pre-pregnancy condition by her first birthday. It never returned to normal. My hair is VERY thin on the top of my head, especially the crown (if my hair is pulled straight up on the top of my head you can see the curvature of my scalp, scary). After ignoring the hair loss long enough I decided to see my obgyn and have blood work done to see of something was wrong. Well, all of the tests came back normal (yes, including thyroid). She suggested I try Nioxin. I have been using Nioxin for a 1 month now. My hair feels healthier and "looks" a little denser. I have started to see new baby fine growth on the top of my head that was not there prior to starting Nioxin. I did experience more loss when I started to use Nioxin. However, that has subsided and I do feel that my hair loss is a little less (I can run my hands through my hair in the shower and have very few strands come out, maybe 10 strands total during a shower). I have also started taking pre-natal vitamins, biotin supplements, and omega-3 supplements. From all of my research these supplements are supposed to help with hair growth and health.

I would recommend this product. I'm anxious to see what my hair will look like in a year from now. I will update this review if anything changes (good or bad). I would also suggest buying the liter bottles of the cleanser and scalp therapy in addition to the larger bottle of the scalp treatment. The starter kit is not enough product to see if it is going to work for you. Everything I have read said it takes 3-6 months to see results.
