Price is always a factor. And although this brand is actually quite reasonable compared to many of its competitors, you’ll still need to invest in several products over a long period of time. To answer your question, yes I’d definitely recommend the conditioner. Personally, I’d avoid the minoxidil solution (as it can have bad side effects, at least it did for me and your recent itchy scalp probably means it’s not great for you either). I’d choose the scalp treatment instead, which is far more gentle. Yes, exactly. If you take anything from this, I hope that this is it! It was designed for people with thinning hair, so it is understandable that this is it’s primary use. So, can I use Nioxin for Genetic Hair Loss? I used it daily – some of the products twice a day – but for those with particularly sensitive scalps, it might be best to use it 3 times a week instead.

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. Hi Val, thanks for your question! No, Nioxin 4 doesn’t contain minoxidil – unless you get the product that specifically says ‘with 2% (or 5%) minoxidil’ on the front. The regular shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment are free from minoxidil.Different options – Whether you naturally have thin hair or coarse hair, the different options give you an alternative that fits for you.

The Nioxin scalp treatment acts as a barrier to pollutants while giving your scalp added protection with some SPF. The hair regrowth treatment for men contains a little more – 5% minoxidil – which may actually be more effective, by the sounds of it. Now, I haven’t tried every product in the following systems. But if you want to go further in your Nioxin journey, you can choose from the following… 1. Intensive Care Range

In fact, unlike many other hair care brands, the company never claims to be a hair regrowth solution. Or to stop hair loss. Rather, it says that it’s “designed specifically for thinning and fine hair”. Which is true. The refreshing combination of peppermint oil and white tea extract cleans and cools down the scalp while giving your mane a lovely shine. (Psst…for another of my favorite scalp oils, read this!) Glyco-Shield 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.Good question. You’re going to be investing a lot of time and money in Nioxin so you want to invest in the best product. Right? Right. 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. There are a few commonly known side effects of using Nioxin, which are pretty much part and parcel of using this type of product. The main issues that you’re likely to experience are;
