Most Helpful Positive Review The Best Results I've Gotten. A friend suggested I try the product. I have to say that it is the best results I've gotten yet. I've tried all the different Hair Loss shampoos and this is the best. Within a couple of months my hair was growing in again. I couldn't believe it. It is still a little thin, but it's MUCH better. I can't believe it.
I also started using the Bosley Healthy Hair Vitality Supplement for Women and it really works great in conjunction with the Nioxin!
Most Helpful Critical Review Probably Not Typical Results Pros: You know when it's on your scalp because the peppermint & menthol tingle.
Its definately not for my hair type. It breaks the curl pattern BAD and by 2nd day it looks and feels as though I hadnt washed my hair in a month or more. I usually wash my hair once a week, but that was not possible with this series 5. I gave it a chance and have used about a half a bottle of the shampoo and conditioner and the results are the same every time. Awful looking and feeling hair as if I didnt rinse enough or rinsed too much. I dont ever use this word, but I looked RATCHET. Ive never been embarrassed to go to work on bad hair days, but this was next level bad. Waves go stringy and straight, and ringlets look like they have given up on life. Ends of my hair turned into that feathery damage that you get if you bleached your hair one too many times.
I had "red dessert wine" highlights, they looked like damaged auburn blonde after the 2nd wash.
I DO however like the Night Density Rescue. Same light tingle, doesnt seem to weigh my hair down. I do have to wash it more often, but that's expected with a leave in oil.

So far so good. 5
Alyssa from Chicago
Just used the shampoo for the first time and so far so good! Last week my scalp felt really irritated, and after using this shampoo and conditioner, my scalp feels great and my hair is so soft. The smell seems to be irritating for some people but I think it is invigorating and it doesn't bother me. Hoping it works well long term!
I can't recommend. I broke out in hives from this product! 1
Deb from Pittsburgh from Pittsburgh, PA
I used this product three times. On the third time using the scalp treatment, my arms, shoulders and neck broke out in a rash. I don't think it was the shampoo or conditioner… it was definitely the scalp treatment. I'm glad I didn't but the full-sized product!
Amazing stuff 5
Nrdyckes from Nevada
I have been dealing with more hair loss recently and I decided to try this and it is absolutely amazing left my hair feeling soft and very full but the only con and I mean only con for me is the menthol smell it triggered my allergies and I could not stop sneezing. I had to give the system to my mother sadly. I will need to find something else that is as good but does not trigger an allergy attack.
Made my hair loss worse!! 1
Christina from Boston, MA
I used this kit for about a week and I lost SO much hair. At first I thought it would get better but I was losing so much hair in the shower and it was just falling out every time I brushed my hair, it was awful. It works for a lot of people but be aware that one of the potential side effects is hair loss!
Wow 4
Kris T from VA - Virginia
I've used this product only for a a few weeks and I LOVE the way it makes my hair feel. It's so shiny and feels so healthy. I have bleached mids/ ends and have been searching for something to make my hair feel hydrated at the ends but not greasy at the root- and this does it for me. I can't speak too much on fullness of my hair as I haven't noticed too much of a difference with that (maybe I haven't used long enough) but I would continue to use this just based off of how much healthier my hair and scalp feels. Only gave 4 starts because the scent doesn't thrill me. If you can't tolerate very strong peppermint smell this product isn't for you.
Really works.. but many things to consider 4
Nikkie from San Diego
I'm 22 and as you can see in the first pic I started losing a lot of hair. I began noticing this this when I stopped taking birth control after 6 years of taking it. I don't write reviews often, but these before and after pics are so drastic that I felt like I should give credit where it is due. These two pics were taken about a month apart. PROS- it works, and it started working quick! I've always had baby hairs, but in the past, they seemed to stay the same length and haven't grown since I was like 14 years old. With Nioxin, the hairs were growing so long I looked like I had bangs. CONS- first time I used this I broke out in hives. Burned my back, my arms were bright red. It's really strong stuff. (I do have very sensitive skin) Another side effect to these strong chemicals, is that my hair got super dry. Although I have chemically treated my hair, it has always been oily. I only washed my hair with nioxin 3 times a week and my hair was still breaking really bad and began looking very damaged. Ultimately, this is why I had to stop using it. Also, after I stopped using it I stopped seeing improvements. I think in most cases, hair loss is something that a specialist must look at to determine what the real cause is from. I have recently got my blood work done for a dermatologist to evaluate so I can find a better long term solution. In conclusion, I think Nioxin is a great start toward hair growth. However, it seems to be a very temporary fix. Especially since the ingredients do not make it sustainable to continue using, since they cause so much hair breakage. This kinda defeats the whole purpose of new hair growing, if the rest of your hair is completely damaged.
Burned my head 1
Rhiannon from Texas
I wanted to like this. The minute I put it on, I noticed little bumps on my forehead and my sides, 2 minutes later I had an itchy scalp. Returning tomorrow for sure. Be careful.

myhairlooksamazing from Pennsylvania
This stuff is the real deal. I've been using for 2-3 weeks and my hair has never been so shiny, smooth, and healthy looking. The first time I used it I did experience some itching and shedding which from what I researched is to be expected. So happy with my purchase and am going to be getting full size versions and trying Nioxin's other products!
Works really good 5
Niiika from New mexico
I've been using this product for about 2 months and its amazing after having my son my hair would fall out in clumps all day so I went and bought this and started using it and my hair stopped falling out it started to grow and is really really healthy
Nioxin No5 - Amazing Product 5
ZeeCirinna from South Africa
After trying majority of the retail products that claim to do what Nioxin does, I decided to just plunge in, spend a bit more and buy a professional product. Within 4 weeks, my dull, thin, fine, lifeless hair had bounce, shine, volume and was so much thicker. Even my husband noticed it.
I calculated that I spent thousands on retail products over the years which just did not work.
I will always recommend Nioxin and will never stop using it.
Thank you for not disappointing a sceptic!

Love Nioxin, hate the smell 4
Marie1985 from Los Angeles
I recently reordered Nioxin after not having used it for several years. I remember really loving it and definitely felt like my hair was thicker, stronger, and more lustrous. After receiving and using it a few times, I remembered why I stopped. The fragrance (while it isn't BAD) has a strong minty smell that lingers on my hair for days. For some people that may be a good thing, but I prefer something more floral and feminine scenting in my hair. I've woken up in the middle of the night thinking "why is my husband brushing his teeth at this hour?!" just to remember that the scent is coming from my own hair. Don't get me wrong, Nioxin is Effective and an excellent product for restoring your hair's fullness. I just wish they made it in other scents because I hate smelling like Mouthwash all day.

I love the shampoo 5
Déesse from VA
Review is initial thoughts, cannot comment on shedding and hair growth at this time.
I love this shampoo. I am African American (black), 4a, 4b, 4c fine hair with a lot of strands, relaxed but hair is still kinky texture and curls up. I was so scared to put this shampoo on my crown (tangles a lot and mats) but it worked like a charm. I honestly could not believe it. The slip in this shampoo is amazing and the menthol/mint feeling is just what my hair needed. I typically will cowash and use super moisturizing shampoos but research revealed my scalp needed more cleaning. This shampoo thorough cleaned my scalp and it felt so amazing, like if you have that my scalp is not clean feeling, this is the shampoo for you. I ordered shampoo from Kerastase and Morrocanoil and have already decided I will always use this shampoo at least one time on wash day. I am hoping too goodness the Morrocanoil and Kerastase work wonders like this one too!
I am not quite sure if I really need the conditioner so that may cut down on costs but this shampoo right here is a staple, no need to try to find something else for that clarifying feeling. Yes you will get that squeaky clean feeling but I should note I only use it on my scalp and let it run down the strands when washing.
I estimate getting 10-12 washes from the bottle included in the System 5 kit. Not a bad deal.

I like this hair care system because I really enjoyed the scent and the way it made my hair feel. However I cant say there was a huge difference in the amount of hair that I had. I guess a little less hair fell out but nothing too significant.
