Am a Nioxin convert
I started using all Nioxin 3 products one month ago; shampoo, conditioner, scalp treatment, volumizing thickening spray and extra hold hairspray. Since I use them all together, it's hard to say specifically if one of the products works or doesn't. In my honest opinion, the Nioxin line has improved t...

I have thinning hair in the frontal region. My hair part isn't noticeably thinning, but it could be better. I attribute my hair loss to genetics.

Doesn't work
I have purchased the Nixon set for my thinning hair and noticed that it didn't help hair fall. So I bought this shampoo to stop my hair falling off. But it doesn't work. My hair still falls and may be worse. Very disappointed.
great product for thin hair
really helps with thinner hair
Like this product and have high hopes
It's too soon to give a review if this product will help regrow my hair but i will say it feels good on my hair, it literally only takes a dime size amount to get a good lather that i let sit for the 2 mins and then rinse out
I love this product
this product is pretty remarkable. I have been using it for the last few months and my hair is coming in thicker and I have new growth.
I will never order anything from Ulta again. Had to
Still never received the product or the refund

- Q
My hair is not damaged will this weigh my thin hair down?
- Asked by Miche
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand EngageThank you for reaching out! You can rest assured that System Kit 4 Scalp Therapy Conditioner will not weigh your thin hair down, even if your hair is not damaged. Nioxin conditioners are specifically formulated differently from traditional, heavy deep conditioners. Here is why it works so well for thin hair: Designed for the Scalp & Fine Hair: Unlike traditional conditioners that you apply only to the mid-lengths and ends, Nioxin Scalp Therapy Conditioners are lightweight, water-based formulas meant to be applied from root to tip—including directly on the scalp—without leaving heavy residue or oiliness. Moisture Balance for Chemical/Color Treatment: System 4 is designed for color-treated or chemically treated hair experiencing progressed thinning. Even if your hair doesn't feel rough or damaged, chemical processing strips away natural moisture. System 4 delivers necessary moisture to help maintain elasticity and resilience while keeping the hair strand feeling light, airy, and voluminous. Pro-Color Shield Technology: It helps protect your color investment and strengthens the hair structure against mechanical breakage without adding flat, heavy silicone build-up. How to Apply for the Best Volume: After shampooing, apply the System 4 Scalp Therapy Conditioner gently from your scalp all the way down to your ends. Leave it on for 1 to 3 minutes to allow the scalp-nourishing ingredients and lightweight moisture to absorb. Rinse thoroughly. Your hair will feel refreshed, manageable, and noticeably thicker without losing its natural body or bounce!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can you use the Volumizing Dry Shampoo for texture and volume as a styling product?
- Asked by BJ
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand EngageYes, Our Volumizing Dry Shampoo is an instant refresh solution for fine hair, leaving it looking thicker and fuller. It adds volume, texture, and fullness to your hair without the need for water. Instructions for Use: Shake the can well before each use. Hold the can about 6-8 inches away from the hair and spray evenly onto the roots. Massage the product into the scalp and brush through to distribute evenly. Style as desired.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this good for hair thinning from chemotherapy?
- Asked by MJ
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand EngageThe Nioxin System 2 Kit is a 3-step regimen designed to clear scalp residue, strengthen delicate strands against breakage, and boost visual hair density for natural hair with progressed thinning. The Nioxin System 2 Kit can be helpful during post-chemotherapy recovery, but it will not prevent or treat active chemotherapy-induced hair loss (anagen effluvium). How Nioxin System 2 Helps Post-Chemotherapy Optimizes the Scalp Environment: Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells, including hair follicles. Once treatment ends and follicles begin to recover, System 2 cleanses the scalp by removing residue, excess oils, and environmental buildup. Strengthens New Growth: Key ingredients like niacinamide, biotin, and caffeine nourish the scalp, strengthen fragile new strands, and reduce breakage as hair grows back. Provides Visual Thickness: The 3-step regimen (cleanser, conditioner, and leave-in scalp treatment) helps fine or delicate new growth look fuller and denser. Important Considerations & Precautions Active Chemotherapy: During active chemotherapy treatment, topical thickening products like Nioxin cannot stop hair shedding. Scalp Sensitivity: Post-treatment scalps are often extra sensitive or tender. Nioxin products contain tingling ingredients such as wild mint oil and peppermint oil, which can sometimes irritate a delicate scalp. Medical Clearance: Always consult your oncologist or dermatologist before starting any new scalp treatments or hair regimens after cancer treatment.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
How can you call this a hair prevention shampoo when it contains sulfates? Irony? Yes!
- Asked by Jennie
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand EngageThat is a great question. Sulfates have recently gotten a bad rap as being bad for you and your hair. The appearance of a sulfate in a shampoo does not automatically determine the "safeness" of the product. What you need to know is that sulfates are the ingredients that cleanse the hair. One would need to consume a large quantity of them to have negative results. We use only the highest-grade sulfates – which provide cleansing necessary without pulling color or damaging the hair. Optimal levels are contained in our products which leave the hair clean without drying. We offer a very nourishing formula overall, which is gentle on the skin and hair. The SLS (sulfates) used are in the international regulatory permitted range; they have been tested extensively for decades to ensure customer health and safety. Most of what we hear is a myth that comes from a "sulfate free" marketing campaign or company. Harsh sulfates will most likely always pull color from the hair and cause dryness. Gentle sulfates with the proper formulation of other ingredients will keep hair color longer than most sulfate free shampoos. Sulfate free shampoos most often do not cleanse the hair thoroughly enough to rid it of dirt, oils, product and environmental debris. This causes more dirt to attach to the hair and the formation of free radicals. Free radicals cause the fading of hair color. To protect color treated hair we have the Pro-Color Shield technology that prolongs hair color. All Nioxin products are tested extensively to ensure their safety for consumer use.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
If I am going to use the 3-Step program, #4, should I also incorporate this product? That seems like a lot. If so, how would I use it along with the serum that comes with the program?
- Asked by Kris
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand EngageWe don't recommend starting all of them at once. To begin, we suggest focusing on the System Kit that was recommended for you. The Nioxin System Kits are designed to work together to cleanse, optimize, and treat your hair and scalp. Each kit includes a cleanser shampoo, a scalp therapy conditioner, and a scalp and hair treatment. Starting with these three products will lay the foundation for healthier, fuller-looking hair. After using the System Kit consistently for a few months, you can then consider adding an extra product, such as Hair Fall Defense Serum. Hair Fall Defense is designed for daily use, it's clinically proven to increase hair anchorage, stimulate and nourish the hair follicles to prolong the growth cycle and improve hair resistance for fuller-looking hair. To use together shampoo, condition, towel dry hair. Apply Hair Fall defense Serum, apply 2-4 pumps of Scalp & Hair Thickening Treatment. On days you do not shampoo, you would only use the Hair Fall Defense Serum.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
For a better result how often should I wash my hair? Everyday or every other day?
- Asked by Hamz
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand EngageWe appreciate you taking time to inquire about the use of your Nioxin product. Please utilize the following Manufacturer’s directions for our three step Nioxin systems. When using Nioxin we recommend for best results that you use all three products that make up our Nioxin systems daily. These products are the Nioxin Scalp Cleanser (Shampoo), Scalp Therapy (Conditioner) and Scalp Treatment. We realize that most do not wash their hair daily. However, please note you will still see the results, just not as quickly as those who wash their hair daily. 1. Apply shampoo on damp hair and scalp. Give your scalp and hair a good cleaning prior to rinsing. 2. Next, apply conditioner onto scalp and hair. Massage onto scalp and pull through the length of the hair leaving on for up to 3-minutes. Rinse. 3. Towel dry your 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. Should you have any other questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us. We would be happy to speak with you via phone and conduct a consultation if you see fit. 1-800-935-5273Was this answer helpful to you

Is the treatment supposed to be on wet hair? Dry hair? How much product should be used each time?

I took the hair quiz on the Nioxin website and the recommended products are Hair Fall Defense Shampoo, System 4 Conditioner, Hair Fall Defense Serum, System 4 Leave on Treatment, Hair Booster Serum and I've been using Diamax Hair Thickening Serum. In what order would I apply these products?
- Asked by Rena
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand EngageThank you for taking the Nioxin expert hair consultation quiz! This is a great first step to identifying the best products for your hair concerns. The quiz often suggests all the Nioxin products that could be a potential fit. We don't recommend starting all of them at once.

- Q
Are all these 3 products FDA approved?
- Asked by Coop
- Official Answer By Nioxin - Brand Engageno, Nioxin products as a whole are not FDA approved, because the FDA does not "approve" cosmetic hair care products like shampoos, conditioners, or cosmetic serums before they hit the market. However, there is an important distinction to make regarding ingredients and specific products: The classic Nioxin System Kits (Cleanser, Scalp Therapy, and Scalp & Hair Treatment) and their cosmetic serums (like the Night Density Rescue or Hair Fall Defense) are classified by the FDA as cosmetics. The FDA regulates cosmetics to ensure they are safe for consumer use and properly labeled, but it does not evaluate or approve them for efficacy. These products do not claim to medically regrow hair; instead, they are formulated to clear away follicle-clogging sebum, strengthen the hair strand against breakage, and improve the scalp environment so existing hair looks and feels thicker. If you are looking for a medical cure for hair loss that carries direct FDA approval for hair regrowth, you would look specifically for treatments containing active Minoxidil. If you are looking to optimize your scalp health, reduce hair breakage, and maximize the density of the hair you currently have, Nioxin’s cosmetic systems are designed precisely for that.Was this answer helpful to you
