I’m 19F and was just born with fine hair. I don’t necessarily have hair loss, but my hairdresser recommended that I give Nioxin a try and see if it might help me grow more hair. The first time I used it was roughly a year ago. I definitely experienced more hair growth. I was very pleased with the results. It’s good to note that the first few times you use it, you will likely experience some redness and a warm feeling around the scalp and maybe down you back where the shampoo and conditioner has touched. This is normal. Nioxin increases blood flow to the scalp thus helping hair grow. I experienced a week and a half of hair purging and then it stopped. After 3 months I stopped using it and, personally, I did not experience any hair loss after it.
Now a year later, I decided to give it another 3 months. I had about a week of hair purging that has since stopped. I didn’t experience any redness or extreme waring sensations as I did during my very first few times a year ago. I wouldn’t say the product gives me enough moisture, so after rinsing the conditioner, I usually go in with a different conditioner and let it sit on my hair (avoiding the scalp) for a while and this seems to solve my bit of dryness.
Overall the product always leaves my scalp feeling very clean. I can go days between using the shampoo with no build up or greasiness. I’ve seem very nice results from the product!
