Nioxin 5

To address the point made about being able to go to Sally's beauty supply and buy the generic product of Nioxin, well let me inform you that there is a reason why Nioxin isn't sold at Sally's just like American Crew products, Paul Mitchell products and so on and so forth...because they are PROFESSIONAL HAIR CARE PRODUCTS...sold only to SALONS and PROFESSIONAL HAIRSTYLIST. I have never used the generic version of Nioxin but I have used Nioxin myself. I loved the way it made my hair and scalp feel, plus it did feel thicker. As for new hair growing in, I didn't notice it but I also had long hair. It is easier to see "new growth" in hair as it is shorter. Now that I am working at a salon that sells Nioxin, I have done A LOT of research about this stuff, so I can really understand what I am selling to my clients. To my understandings Nioxin is designed to cleanse the scalp and hair of all impurities including DHT which is a dihydrotestosterone (I hope I spelled that right) which is stored in oil that builds up on the scalp and clogs your hairs pores. That is why some people may experience hair loss the first few weeks of using Nioxin, because the Nioxin is cleansing the pores that may hold already dead hair, which once cleansed can open the pores and allow for new hairs to grow back if the follical isnt already damaged. That is why it wont work or "cure" baldness for everyone, it just depends on how damaged and how noticable the thinning in the hair was prior to starting the treatment. But I have seen cases in which new hair has began to grow in...it starts as really fine baby like hair then as it grows becomes stronger and healthier. I believe it works but just not for EVERYONE who experiences hair loss. You will never know until you give it a try. And if anything, your hair and scalp will feel healthier and be much stronger. Just keep in mind that you need to purchase your products through your hairstylist or at a professional hair supplier ( meaning ONLY licensed hairstylist can purchase products at that store) to insure that it isn't past it's shelf life or experation dates and also to insure that it wasn't stolen or tampured with!!!! OHHHH and back to the generic products....in my experience with generic products, they might be cheaper at Sally's or wherever but you use more because they tend to be "watered down" and less concentrated...so in the end you usually spend the same as buying the professional products!!! So why wouldn't you just buy the REAL Nioxin?!?!

Thanks for your time!!

Cleansing the pores that contain dead hair? Are you serious? ALL HAIR IS DEAD. It's nothing more than dead cells....
