If anyone is interested, I decided I don't like the Nioxin. It definitely smells like medicine. Luckily, at Ulta, they let you return stuff.
Back to Aveda.
Nekita, I love the stuff so far. I just got a big bottle for fine/thin hair. And really it doesn't smell after you dry your hair. I myself was conscience about the minty smell but my boyfriend said he couldn't notice it unless he was actually trying to smell it purposely. Also, with both the S and C I make sure to put conditioner on the ends of my hair before I use each one.

Hi Nekita - sorry to hear about the thinning. Good idea to be
sure to take extra good care of your health in all regards - diet
(including supplementation), exercise, sleep, and hair health (gentle
treatment and definitely no sun-in!). Very important for me since
my hair isn't as indestructable as it was when I was a teen. And
FWIW, your hair appears to be full in your avatar photo.

Hmmm... thanks for the advice. The shampoo does tingle, but I don't think I like the feeling.
I have experimented with color recently, but it's been getting thinner since I started college, back in '92. Don't know if this means anything, but both my brothers are practically bald.
Before recently trying coloring, I always used Sun-in. I only found out it was bad for me about a year ago.

This is a new stylist and she told you your hair is "getting thin" in some places? How could she tell, never having seen your hair before? Ignore her, the only reasonable observation a person who has never seen your hair before would be that it "is thin" in places.
If you are sure your hair is getting thinner (just because you never noticed before doesn't mean it hasn't always been that way in spots) you should probably see a dermatologist first.

Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?
A couple of things: Didn't you just dye your hair a lot
recently? If so, this may be the cause of the thinning.
Also, is it shorter than it used to be? If so, this may be the
reason for the part down the back of your head (mine does that too when
it's shorter, the length weighs it down so it doesn't do that
anymore). One thing you can try is massaging your scalp (while
you shampoo is a good time). That helps stimulate blood flow and
may help the thinning hair if the dye isn't the cause (if it's dye,
you'll just have to wait until more virgin hair grows out for it to go
away).
I haven't tried Nioxin, so I don't know about it.

I got my hair trimmed a couple days ago - and I actually didn't leave in tears this time. I think I finally found someone I can trust.
Problem is, she told me what I thought I'd been noticing. That my hair is getting kinda thin in places. I'm only 30. It's not too bad, but my part is definitely growing and if I don't brush my hair in the right place, the part extends a couple inches down the back of my head.
She told me to use Nioxin. It's supposed to nourish the scalp with vitamins. It's an S&C. So, I bought it today and haven't tried it yet.
Anyone try this stuff? I'm really curious if anyone else has this problem - especially the ladies on this board.
