Hi Amber... Not too long ago I put up a post asking for feedback on this stuff, too.

I've been using it for a little over 2 weeks now - the cleanser and scalp therapy.  I think it's really surprising how fast I'm noticing results.  My part was really noticeable cause my hair has been getting thinner, but since I started using this, it's actually gotten so much better.  I wouldn't believe someone if they told me, but it really works.

I don't like the smell though.  I think it smells like medicine.  And does your head get cold when you use the scalp therapy?  It might be too cold in the winter!

I've followed the hair care recommendations of not using conditioner on the scalp, but I don't think you'd get the effects of this if you don't.  I don't plan on using it forever, though.  It's not like rogaine where if you stop using it, your hair falls out.  So, maybe after these bottles are gone, I'll go back to normal routines.

Cheers,

Nekita

Hey!  I got the cleanser and the scalp therapy conditioner.  The smell did sort of take a lil bit to get use to but it really just smells likes peppermint.  I don't mind it at all.  I like how the conditioner makes my scalp tingle.  I bought the really big bottles so it should probably last me at least 3 months I'm guessing.  I did a search for nixion and one post came up that said she used it for like 6 months and saw results.  I'm willing to give it a try!

Right now my routine with this S and C is putting Bixy Sexy conditioner on the bottom part of my hair first....then washing my scalp with the cleanser.  Then I rinse...and put conditioner once again on the bottom part of my hair and put the scalp therapy conditioner on my scalp and wait about 4 or 5 mins then rinse it out...warm then cold water.  It feels wonderful!  I love the tingling part...I feel like its actually working.

Hi Amber,

I believe Nioxin shampoo is reputed to help scalp health (and in the process reduce hair fallout).  I am not aware of any source that has substantiated their claims (but that does not mean that it won't do as advertised).  Now that you have it, might as well try it and hope for the best right?   As for the conditioner, what do the directions say?  In the absence of any guidance from the product maker, I would avoid conditioning the roots.

I hope you like the products!

Dave

Hey all.

I just got the Nioxin shampoo and scalp therapy for thin/fine hair.  Anyone used this before?  How do you like it.

Also, I'm wondering about the conditioner.... is it really ok to be putting this stuff on my scalp or should I just use it on the ends of my hair like normal conditioner.

Thanks...... Amber
