Q
Do you use the whole bottle for just one treatment?
Asked by Kim
Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand Engage
Glad to help. No, this is NOT a one time use product. Towel dry your hair.  Shampoo, condition, and rinse hair. Once you have towel dried your hair, shake the Hair Treatment, apply onto the scalp, and gently massage over areas of concern or entire scalp. You will only need 3-4 pumps for the entire scalp. Follow up by gently combing through hair. You should not wash the Hair Treatment out; simply dry and style as usual.  Do not use the scalp and hair treatment on days you do not shampoo. For best results use this with the Nioxin System Shampoo , and conditioner.

System 3 is not the same as 5

I just bought System 3 in place of the great product that was discontinued, System 5. Why? Why? My fine, treated hair does not feel the same on No 3. Please ask your Head of R&D to explain to your Marketing Director why System 3 is NOT the same as 5. Last Nioxin purchase from me.

Irritated scalp - not for me

Submitted 23 days ago

By Liz

From Michigan

This smells wonderful and fresh if you like a minty smell and my hair felt very clean like how a clarifying shampoo should feel, but i had a very bad scalp reaction to the system. I used it four about three weeks and i was forced to stop because my scalp was uncomfortable. I have sensative skin and scalp, so just a warning to those that also have that you may have a reaction
