The Nioxin System

In order to provide a wide variety of hair care packages to customers, Nioxin has created six hair care systems that target different types of hair loss and/or hair thinning challenges. Each of the three-piece Nioxin Systems contains Nioxin shampoo, conditioner, and scalp and hair treatment.

• Nioxin System No. 1 — System 1 works to amplify hair texture and protect your hair against further breakage. It has been specially formulated as a hair thickening treatment that delivers denser-looking hair. Thickening is accomplished by strengthening the hair that is already growing to prevent the hair from falling out prematurely. It is most commonly used on natural hair with light thinning. It helps to remove follicle-clogging sebum made of fatty acids and other environmental residues from the scalp and hair.
• Nioxin System No. 2 — System 2 helps deliver thicker and fuller hair while protecting each strand from damage. It is most frequently used by those experiencing progressed thinning. It also helps provide hair resilience and controls the moisture balance.
• Nioxin System No. 3 — System 3 is made for colored hair with light thinning. It increases the fullness of each strand while providing hair resilience and moisture control. It has also been used to achieve amplified hair texture and color protection.
• Nioxin System No. 4 — System 4 is used by those with colored hair with progressed thinning. The system 4 hair treatment kit helps facilitate denser-looking hair, while refreshing the scalp and unclogging hair follicles.
• Nioxin System No. 5 — System 5 is best used by those with chemically treated hair. Treated hair can react differently than natural hair which is why Nioxin has created this special formula to ensure that your hair remains moisturized and healthy.
• Nioxin System No. 6 — System 6 is the perfect hair treatment for those with chemically treated hair and progressed thinning. The thickening shampoo and scalp therapy conditioner pair perfectly with the scalp and hair treatment to provide your scalp with a healthy balance.

Advanced Thinning Hair Regrowth Products

Nioxin offers hair regrowth products for both men and women. The product recommended for men to help prevent male pattern baldness and hair thinning includes 5 percent Minoxidil. In order to see best hair regrowth results and avoid androgenetic alopecia (hair loss and/or a receding hairline), this Minoxidil topical solution should be used over an extended period of time. It is sold in one-month and three-month quantities. 

A scalp optimizing Nioxin cleanser and hair and scalp optimizing conditioner are also available for those who want to take an extra step in protecting their hair follicles from losing young hair and/or promoting healthy hair growth.

Nioxin Expert Care

To add to its list of hair care products, Nioxin also offers a couple of expert care products that help with anti-aging and revitalization. The Nioxin scalp treatment is called the Dermabrasion treatment online. This topical solution uses scalp infusion technology to exfoliate your scalp. The Nioxin Color Lock helps to neutralize residues and seal in color. The Nioxin scalp protection serum is used as a pre-color treatment and uses anti-irritation ingredients that help protect the scalp during hair coloring.

Other Nioxin Products

A number of other Nioxin products are available for purchase online. These intensive care, instant fullness, and styling products work hand-in-hand with the Nioxin System Kits as well as the Nioxin shampoo and conditioner to provide your hair the best chance for healthy hair growth.

Online Consultation Tool

If you are interested in using Nioxin hair care products, you should take advantage of the online consultation tool. To access it, you can simply enter the Nioxin website and select "Consultation Tool." This tool will ask you a few simple questions about your current hair condition and the type of results that you would like to see in the near future, and then it will tell you which products are recommended for your specific needs.

Pricing

In general, we have found Nioxin pricing to be competitive with other hair care brands. Products are available for both on their own or with package pricing. All purchases are made on one of the three following sites:

• Amazon
• JCPenny
• Ulta.com

Products can be purchased online for the following prices:

• System 1–6 Kits — $45.00 (or less with website discounts)
• System 1–6 Cleanser Shampoo — $42.00 for 33.8 ounce bottle
• System 1–6 Scalp Therapy Conditioner — $51.00 for 33.8 ounce bottle
• System 1–6 Scalp Treatment — $41.50 for 6.76 ounce bottle
• Other specialty products — pricing ranges from $15.00–$51.00.

Though pricing may seem more expensive than some other hair loss or hair regrowth treatment providers, Nioxin products target the root of the problem differently than most of its competitors. Pricing for shampoo and conditioner is close to that of other high-quality products on the market.

• Nioxin Side Effects
• Delayed Results
• Requires Continual Use

Nioxin Side Effects

Although Nioxin does not claim that its products have any side effects, Nioxin reviews have mentioned a few that may occur. Some customers have experienced the following side effects:

• Itchiness on the scalp
• Increased dandruff and dry skin
• Tenderness or swelling of the scalp
• Redness
• Initial hair loss
• Dry hair

It's not common that users experience these side effects to the products, but you should at least be aware that it is a possibility before starting to use Nioxin products.

Delayed Results

Some Nioxin users have complained that the results of using the products, such as the shampoo for thinning hair, have not come as quickly as promised. The Nioxin website mentions that 90 percent of users have seen thicker hair in just 30 days. The majority of Nioxin reviews mention that it takes a number of months before they start seeing results. If you are looking for a quick fix for your hair follicles, this may not be the best option for you.

Requires Continual Use

One other complaint that has been voiced has been the need to continually use Nioxin products to maintain healthy hair growth. If you are not ready to be in the hair regrowth and maintenance game for the long run, you may need to find a different hair care solution.
