Customer Reviews of New!! Nioxin System 3 Cleanser & Scalp Therapy Liter Set (33.8 Oz Each)
Customer Review: Noticeable Improvement
Summary: 5 Stars
I have hypoactive thyroid, which means my hair thins. About 2 years ago, I was talking to my doctor about what seemed to be a drastic hair loss. My medication did need to be adjusted, but she also suggested I try a new shampoo/conditioner to help with hair loss, and she wrote down "Nioxin." I was desperate, so I decided to give the product a try.
To be frank, I'm not bowled over by the scent. It has a somewhat medicinal smell, which can take some time to get used to. There is also a bit of a tingle when using the Scalp Therapy that might be a little unnerving at first.
However! I noticed within the first month of use (and I wash my hair 2 - 3 times a week), I had less hair in the shower comb, and less hair showing up on the bathroom counter. Also, since becoming hypoactive, I've become a "shedder" - with hair literally falling out as I stand talking to people. This had started to decrease.
After 2 years of use, the amount of hair in the shower comb is dramatically reduced, as well as the hair on the bathroom counter. I now rarely "shed," and if I do, it's like one or two hairs. My hair is staying on my head!!
When I was a young child, I had really, really thick hair, and prior to using Nioxin, that was becoming a memory. Now, my hair looks really thick and full, and it even feels thick and full. I do straighten my hair, which can cause extra stress, but my hair is still soft, shiny, and healthy. And I've noticed new hair growth! I'm just thrilled with the results I've seen so far. And I now get compliments on my hair - something that has not happened in quite some time!
It does take time and patience, but this product can work and work well. Now, if they can only do something about that scent...
Customer Review: Works BUT It Takes Time!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this after my hair began falling out everywhere - AND breaking off. It was either from a bad straightener (definitely do a strand test before hand) or from weight loss surgery. Either way I would see dozens of strands hanging from the bottom of my hair. It took over a month before I finally saw results. I was on my second set of the Nioxin before it worked.
It is pricey but you are better off getting the larger sizes as the smaller set runs out very quick. It doesn't foam or get sudsy but it does feel as if your scalp is on minty fire. My scalp actually hurt and throbbed the first time I used it for a couple of hours afterwards. It's like listerine for you scalp. The System 3 actually looks like a blue gel. Also, I would sometimes have to use an additional conditioner because Nioxin did seem to leave my hair feeling tangled and dry but a relative who used it (and said it stopped her hair loss too) did not have the tangled hair I did.
It worked for me but it took time and now my hairs aren't on the floor, all over the pillowcase, or on my sleeves. It will still fall out when I am styling with flat irons or generally being rough with it. I also took vitamins, biotin, and used the leave in spray from Nioxin that should be used daily. Also you may be able to find a better deal at your local discount big box stores or local salons but do get the larger size so you can give it a chance to see if it works.
Customer Review: Disappointed with the product
Summary: 1 Stars
After reading the online reviews and talking with my stylist (she recommended the system 3 for my fine and color treated hair) I decided to give Nioxin a try. After several weeks of use I have not noticed ANY decrease in hair loss. My hair is now lifeless and is getting oily at a quicker rate.
Also, the smell of the shampoo and conditioner has a horrible menthol scent. I expected the scent to be bad based on prior reviews, but I just could not take it. I don't know if your mother ever used Vicks Vapo Rub on you, but just imagine that scent all over your head. I used to enjoy washing my hair, but now cringe at the sight of the Nioxin bottles when climbing into the shower.
Maybe I am the odd one out since the other reviewers really like this product, but I do not recommend it. If you are going to give this product a try I would start with a small bottle first. I spent the money on the liter set and now regret the investment.
Customer Review: Best product for scalp & hair
Summary: 5 Stars
After 2 bad perms my hair was in the worst shape ever. I thought I was going to lose all my hair or have to cut it real short. I hated to look in the tub or shower even my brush because yes you guessed it that's where my hair would end up. My ends looked like I had taken a lighter and burned them. My hair would split not just at the ends but up the shaft as well. I had an area at the back that was dormant and hadnt grown in years. After 6mos of using this product I noticed my hair was growing in the back and my ends didnt look like burned hair. After 1yr of use I had the most beautiful head of hair. I have continued using this product for 5yrs. My hairdresser (not the one that damaged the hair but the one that recommended Nioxin) confirms that I have the best product for not just my hair but for the scalp. It took longer for me to see results because of how bad my hair was. I am sold on this product.Customer Review: I am a woman - my hair did get longer and looks healthier but still shedding hairs
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this product. It leaves my hair smooth and clean, and I feel that it helps with hair growth.
Few comments about this product -
1. if you're a woman and you have long hair you need to use oil treatment or use another shampoo every other wash to make sure that your hair is moisturized. I felt that this product doesn't provide enough moisture to the hair and I needed to use other shampoos or deep conditioning treatments to provide the moisture.
2. My hair still falls out in the shower. I didn't notice a significant change in my hair loss, and I still have to pick up the hairs from the drain when I take a shower.
Other than that I like the product. My hair does look fuller and healthier overall, and it did grow a bit. I like the way my hair looks and will probably continue to use this product.
