Does Nioxin work if you have already lost your hair due Alepicia
1799215
I'm not sure, but I have tried almost all the numbers of the system, and I've found #1 works the best. My scalp looks healthier, and the scalp treatment product is not too thick in texture. #2 or more, the scalp treatment is a kind of gooey foam. I haven't been diagnosed with alepicia, but I do have patches of thinning hair. I use the scalp treatment within minutes of my shower, while my pores are still open. Then I give myself a scalp massage to relax the follicles and allow more absorption. A red color in the scalp is normal, as it is stimulating blood circulation. I wait about 20 minutes, then follow with a minoxidil treatment. Pantene makes some that costs as much as rogaine, but seems to work better for me. I used to take kelp, biotin and black currant oil supplements, but biotin can lead to weight gain, and the kelp gave me vertigo after 6 months of use. Good luck!

My scalp could not take the Nioxin and I discontinued. I didn't find any noticeable improvement in my hair thickness while on the product. I have tried Avalon Biotin-B Complex Thickening Shampoo and now trying L'oreal's new thickening shampoo with conditioner and weekly treatments. The hair feels a little fuller with the new L'oreal.

Don't know. The packaging just says "New and Improved" but doesn't say what is new. Just a marketing eye catcher to make folks want to jump on the deal or keep people coming back to see what is new or different if they are repeat customers. Here is the number for NIOXIN that is on the box. call and ask them. 800-935-5273. I just know that my hair is not thicker or denser looking as they guaranteed and I've used it for over a year. Mind you, I realize it says "looking" and does not guarantee that you will grow more hair or that it will created thicker hair cuticle or shaft.

I don't know the answer to either of your questions but I think you should ask Nioxin directly and let us all know:)

You need to compare the type of hair loss you have and whether your hair is color treated or not with the labels on the Nioxin bottles. You can probably get this information off of their website.

I used it on my hair, which I color. However, I do not like the product. It does not work as well as regular Nioxin. In fact i did not see any beneifts to using it at all and have since stopped the product.

I agree that Nioxin 2 is for noticeably thinning hair - it is noted on the label. I am using Nioxin 2 and it works for me - the trick is to use it regularly. I apply it on days when I wash my hair (every 3- 4 days) and leave it in, massage it well on to scalp (where needed). Comb out hair, dry and style as needed.

Do you have scapslp oriasis? My hair has thinned in the areas I have plaques, but I have always had very fine baby hair so never a thick head of locks. While having scalp psoriasis will interrupt temporarily the growth pattern of scalp hair, I don't know that it would actually make it fall out. I would consult a dermatologist and see if they can make a recommendation. You may have low biotin or some other nutritional deficiency going on at the moment. It's best to talk with a healthcare professional and see what they tell you. They can take a hair sample and do a nutritional analysis and see what is going on.

This product does work, it just takes awhile . I've noticed tiny hairs growing back after two weeks. when I stop using this product my hair wasn't falling out. I just want to fill in some of my bald spots, I can't wait for the bald spots to fill in.This product did give me bad headaches so I just use this product in the morning and not at night. How did this product do for you?

There's no difference. It's really just a marketing/rebranding idea designed to boost sales when the name was changed. Sadly, Nioxin no longer makes these supplements and the company doesn't give a clear, reasonable explanation WHY. They were actually the ONLY high potency HairSkinNail supplement that didn't break my face out so far. Currently, I'm using a brand that works just as well, but I'm still looking for that one brand that will do the job without the facial breakouts.

I am not sure. My hairdresser said the formula isn't the same as what it used to be. If you are using it for hair loss I suggest taking an evening primrose supplement instead. I spent a lot of money on Nioxin and it is all sitting on a shelf now. My hair has almost completely filled back in after taking EPO for a few months. It is a very inexpensive supplement. I take it 3 times a day. I don't recall exactly when I started taking it but I noticed results pretty quickly. I had lost a significant amount of hair and was worried I would have to start wearing a wig. It definitely has worked wonders for me. I am not sure.

Nioxin is a great product and I highly recommend it. While it's advertised for thin/thinning hair, mine is not thinning out just fine. But I like the shampoo and conditioner. As for use with color treatment, note that Nioxin comes in various varieties, from Nioxin 1, to others, I think you should consider Nioxin 3 or 4 as those are for color treated hair. Best to just Google product or check reviews on Amazon. Nioxin 1 says not for color treated hair but like I said 3 or 4 probably would work well.

I honestly don't know ... if this is the stuff I bought a while back - its long gone. I don't buy stuff with Keto in it for hair regrowth - I have some skin issues and Keto is a steroidal treatment (that is found in another primary shampoo product called Nizoral which was taken off the market for a couple years by the FDA because the pill form of the steroid had some less than stellar side effects ... typical governmental "hammer / egg" approach. Its starting to come back so I've gone back to Nizoral - the blue box version.

The nioxin system 3 works great. Also I use the nioxin diamax. I've been using it for about a year and love it.

After using Nioxin for over 2 years, I switched to an organic shampoo & conditioner. My hair is just as thick & strong as it was with the Nioxin, but it's no longer dry. It's called Dermorganic I believe. About the same price & I only use it every 2/3 days. Even my husband started using it.

I use system 3 (fine, thining hair). In my experience, YES the formula changed when Nioxin was sold and moved to Mexico.Most ingredience are the same, but not listed in the same order. (%of each is different). I didn't know this until I was looking to see why my hair was falling again. I bought all I could find "made in Georgia".
