Use the minty-smelling cleanser to rid your scalp of all that gross excess sebum, which can lead to conditions like seborrheic dermatitis. The shampoo lathers well, so you won’t need much. This last part is all about pampering. Use the Nioxin Scalp Treatment to pamper your scalp and protect it from external pollutants that may harm it. Divide your dried hair into desired sections and spray the treatment into your hair while gently combing with your fingers. There’s no need to rinse out the product. Nioxin Side Effects If Step 1 was like applying cleanser to your face, Step 2 is like following up with your favourite moisturiser. Because now it’s time to give your mane some much-needed moisture.

Unfortunately, yes. That seems to be one of the immediate side effects. And it’s something I experienced, too. Nioxin is a hair care and scalp treatment system that was launched in the ‘80s by Eva Graham. After experiencing hair loss during her pregnancy, Eva made it her mission to help both men and women keep their hair full and healthy. Although the company was later bought by Procter and Gamble, Nioxin’s products are still used in salons around the world and by many individuals in their homes.Nonetheless, unless they are on the extreme side, these side effects are normal and a reflection that your scalp is getting used to the new treatment. Nioxin Alternatives And although the company has reputedly changed its formula since P&G’s takeover (it now contain sulfates) and has moved operations from the US to Mexico, it’s still one of the leading brands in the hair loss shampoo market. For me? Yep, totally. I only experienced a little redness and tingling when I used these products. Others, however, might have a systemic reaction to some of the botanicals in their formula.

Plus, if you use the shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment, that’s the “3-pronged approach” Nioxin recommends as the best strategy for regrowth, so I’d go for that! You can use the night density every night or every second night. Finally, I couldn’t recommend the scalp exfoliator enough…it’s a brilliant way to get rid of that flakiness and start from a clean slate, so to speak!! 😉 I refer to it as the ‘dermabrasion treatment’ in my post but it’s since been rebranded. You only need to use to use it every few weeks, whenever you feel that build-up. So it lasts for ages! It isn’t part of any 3-step system, but I’d still highly recommend it. My hairdresser friend (who originally recommended Nioxin to me) told me that it’d be like my secret weapon. And she was right.

Hi Katelin, thanks for your question and I’m so so sorry for the late reply. I had a baby at the end of August so have been offline the past few months while I get used to motherhood! 🙂 Thank you for your patience.
