I saw a review of someone saying it dried out their scalp. I haven't had that problem...much quite the opposite! They seemed to be using a different System than I am and maybe it's not the right one for them, as they have many. Here is my suggestion and what I do...
Try using the System 1 of Nioxin. I use a combo of the Cleanser, as a shampoo (for fine hair which is also Normal to Thin-Looking Hair). I use this first, then I use the Scalp Therapy as I would a conditioner, and then once I have towel dried my hair, I spray in the Scalp Treatment and just massage it through all my hair and then use a comb to make sure I get all of my hair covered evenly.
I'm 52 years of age and was born with thin hair to begin with. My hair started receding and getting even thinner than it was. Once I used the combination of these 3 products of Nioxin System 1, I noticed a difference in my hair's appreance and it felt so sily smooth, but yet with some volume added so it didn't look near as thin as it was.
It does have a very cooling/tingling sensation and a minty smell to it. The tingling sensation is like a massage on my scalp. It's the best thing I have ever used, especially with all three combined after each hair-washing.
I also still continue to blow-dry my hair, but on a low/warm setting. While drying my hair, I lift my hair in an upward swoop. This seems to be what makes it look thicker with a look of volume.
After the 1st week of using these products, I'm already noticing a difference in my hair and actually some new hair growth. Nothing tremendos as of yet since it takes hair a while to grow back anyway....but all the same...it's actually growing back in places where it was really getting bad.
I'm going to continue using this product for about a year and see how much has grown back. But until then, it smells and feels great to my scalp and looks so much better which makes me feel like facing the world again!
My suggestion would be to go to a Reputable Salon that is trained in this product. Have them look at your hair and then tell them what kind of results you are trying to achieve.
I have used Nioxin for the past 10-15 years or so, off and on.I have tried other products periodically but usually come back to Nioxin as my hair thins further with age (75 year old male).
After trying Sytems 1 and 2, I have come to the conclusion that System 1 Shampoo and Conditioner are excellent as well as System 2 Scalp Therapy Foam Activating Treatment.I found that the Shampoo and Conditioner for System 2 never worked for me and was a waste of money.As it is, Nioxin (now owned by Proctor and Gamble), seems to increase the cost every two years and decrease the size.They seem to be on track but need further research to improve their products.The packaging of Sytem 2 Shampoo and Conditioner is faulty as sunshine destroys the tube shaped containers and I had several burst because the Salons have them over a long period of time.
Because of the unreal retail prices, I only buy Nioxin through Amazon and related online companies.Why pay $40 when you can get the same product for $20.I've used this product for six months and have hair growth in an area of my scalp that I haven't had in +/20 years.
It's not for black girls with natural pressed or relaxed hair.To use it properly, you must use it daily and it has too much water in it for our hair type. So, it can only be used when you wash your hairThis product has been extremely helpful to me in getting my hair to grow back a little.I still have some bald spots that have not totally grown in, but for most part the hair is filling in slowly.However, the results is what I expected and I would recommend this product to anyone has hair loss.
