And what ABOUT Nioxin

Hi Deb,I just read a new product announement from Nioxin.Apparently Nioxin has introduced a line of cleansers and scalp serums called Semodex, created in response to new research that found a link between thinning hair and an enzyme called lipase that is produced by a common hair mite.These products, available in salons, inhibit the action of and remove the enzyme lipase from the scalp. In a study conducted and published by Nioxin, lipase was found in the hair follicles of 50 men and woman with thinning hair.Lipase adversely affects the condition of the hair and scalp, and removing it supposedly helps to create full, thicker, and healthier hair...according to Nioxin.Nioxin discovered this mite and its by-product, lipase using a newly-created hand-help microsocop that magnifies hair follicles up to a thousand times.The results of this hair mite/lipase study were announced at a recent international symposium of dermatologists by Dr. Willim Regelson, Director of the Successful Aging Program at Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Medicine.I do not have any other facts about Nioxin or this new product line. This would probably be a good question for AskSpencer.I have heard mixed things about the Nioxin product line so I can't comment. I would love to hear feedback though.Thanks,Karen> Someone mentioned Nioxin in a previous message> and I'm wondering what is special about it?

Someone mentioned Nioxin in a previous message and I'm wondering what is special about it? I used it for awhile too, until I couldn't afford it any longer. Didn't notice any particular difference (but I didn't use it for very long). How is it supposed to work, what is it supposed to do?Thanks! Deb
