Customer Reviews of Nioxin Starter Kit, System 2 (Fine/Untreated/Noticeably Thinning )
Customer Review: Time for a little reality check...
Summary: 1 Stars
Let's get something straight: Nioxin has no way to regrow hair. It also has no way to stop hair loss. That is a fact, and the company acknowledges it. It is a scientific fact. The ONLY think Nioxin is willing to represent or suggest is that this "hair care system" cleans the scalp and that it thickens hair. Now, Nioxin contends that one of the reasons people lose hair or density is due to a form of testosterone on the surface of the scalp. This is silly, but maybe true in a very small minority of cases. In any event, Nioxin is able to get away with suggesting that their product cleans the scalp (it should, it's shampoo). The second claim that Nioxin makes is that users of the product perceive thicker hair. This is not a difficult claim to make as many types of shampoo and conditioner add volume. This is not to say the product grows healthier or thicker hair-- it just binds residue to the hair shaft or, worse, degrades the surface of the hair so that it has a more rough texture and therefore appears thicker.
There are products (propecia and rogaine) which actually regrow hair. However, if you read the fine print, you'll notice that these products only work for 15-50% of men, and only after several months of continuous use. My experience with rogaine was that it was a sticky disgusting mess, and I couldn't imagine having to use it the rest of my life (if it works at all, the results immediately stop once you stop using it).
I've used Nioxin twice (two several-week-long tests) and, like most men, I tried it because I figured I had nothing to lose and I didn't like to see my hair become thinner in density. I think the shampoo is poor quality shampoo. You know you how feel when you use "good" shampoo it lathers up real nice and then rinses squeaky clean? Well, with Nioxin you have to lather twice to get any sense of feeling clean. The conditioner is average. Then there is the foam you are supposed to apply after the shower to damp hair. The foam is basically sunscreen and godawful mousse. The stuff reminds me of the hair scene in There's Something About Mary. This foam makes your hair really stiff and it has no therapeutic benefits.
The whole hair care system stinks. Literally. It smells like someone urinated in your hair. I'm not kidding. I am not trying to unfairly beat-up on the product or put it down as a shill for some other system. This stuff just stinks.
Bottom line: I am going to buy some really nice scented shampoo and conditioner which provides added volume, and use it regularly. I would rather have nice smelling hair (and a few moments in the shower to wake up to a pleasant aromatherapy) than to pee away my money while also smelling like someone peed in my hair.
