Nioxin 2 Feedback Request

Any feedback or reviews on Nioxin 2 Shampoo and Conditioner?

 

When I was 20, a hairdresser told me my hair was thinning and that I should use Nioxin as it is the cure. For the next 12 years I used the stuff along with the Nioxin hair follicle booster, and it did nothing but make me think I am good because it's preventing me from going bald. 3 years ago, I got dumped by a now ex girlfriend after a long-term relationship, and when I had to start dating again, I looked in the mirror and realized oh f#ck, I am going bald, and going bald quickly. Only after my first consultations with Bosley and Zeiring did I learn about Propecia. When they asked me why I used Nioxin and not Rogaine, I actually answered that I thought Nioxin was better than Rogaine because it is way more expensive. Did the doctor have himself a good laugh. I wasted at least $50 a month on that rubbish.

Funny. I just asked the same thing on another thread. I have been using Nioxn shampoo and conditioner for many years. I always question why I pay $17.00 per bottle each time I go to the store. Like many others it was suggested from doctors, stylists, etc.I started using it and never looked back.

 

Nioxn does a great job at marketing themselves as hair loss shampoo and some of their products claim to regrow, I am not sure that has been the case for me. It's important to come to places like this to ask the questions you're asking.

 

I realize the aforementioned blurb is probably useless in the way of direction. But I used this thread below which was helpful and from that I purchased some new stuff on Amazon. We will see how these new products work. Hope that link is helpful. :D

You might as well get a sls and phosphate free shampoo/conditioner. I have used Nioxin in the past and it is a decent shampoo/conditioner, however, I do not feel it made much of a difference. The tingling feeling you get is just the menthol.

 

An interesting thing though... When I used Alpecin, I noticed significant less hair shed. I remember showering and only seeing 2-3 hairs in my hand, compared to my avg of 10-15 per shower. It has been years since I used Alpecin since they don't sell it anymore in Canada.

 

I have been averaging losing about 10-15 hairs in the shower for years now, hard to say if most of those are replaced by normal hairs or "thinning". I guess time will tell since my hairloss is relatively slow, dating back to when I was about 25 (10 years), and went from a nw0 to a nw2 in that time.

Agree with bsass and Spidey. Based on my experience Nioxin is an expensive replacement for a daily wash shampoo. They use a lot of fancy proprietary sounding 'technologies' but ultimately about all it will do is possibly make thinning hair look less ... thin.

I started using Aussie Awesome Volume shampoo and Main and Tail conditioner based on the posts in this thread and I'm pleased so far. When I style it correctly it does make the hair look fuller than Nioxn did. I had a friend tell me recent they were using a Bosley product and felt it made a huge difference. I may try it, however I suspect it's going to be $$$. Which I do like the price of the Aussie :D

Haven't head of those. If you're still in the market for trying something else that will make your hair feel (and look) a bit thicker, I just started trying Rahua. Had been using Avalon organics (Lavender) up to that point. Rahua definitely makes a difference. Not sure about the $$$ though - wife bought it for herself!

My barber recommended that I try Nioxin 2 as my hair was thinning. I've tried this shampoo for a few months and noticed that my hair felt a bit stronger, less oily and the thinning has slowed down. However, having to use this on a daily can be quite expensive.
