Nioxin - Skin Care for your scalp
Nioxin is a deep-scalp-cleaning system and can very simply replace your daily hair washing routine.
Deep Scalp-cleaning systems: With no side effects and lots of benefits, deep scalp-cleaning treatments are a great way to go. In essence, these products concentrate on the "root" of hair loss - the scalp. With little effort on your part, they go to work on making your scalp a clean and comfortable place for new hair to grow while also reversing the effects of DHT and other scalp conditions. Most of these products are topical treatments and can also double as your daily shampoo and conditioner. Three simple steps are all that is needed.
1. Cleanse and detoxify the follicle.
2. Moisturise the scalp to encourage healthy cell renewal.
3. Nourish the hair roots with a leave-on treatment.
As Nioxin works to make the scalp a healthier environment, it eliminates toxins from the surface which includes the toxins from medications. Research shows Nioxin reduces the amount of natural daily hair loss and keeps the hair that you have in healthy condition for longer periods of time. For example, hair grows in 3 stages, faster growing hair, slower growing hair and resting hair. We also have more than one papilla in each follicle from which a hair may grow. Nioxin will keep the hair and follicle healthy which results in the hair remaining in the Anagen or faster growing stage longer. This may result in 2 or 3 papilla being active at any one time and therefore you may have 2 or 3 hairs growing from the same follicle which will give your hair a thicker appearance.
Unlike Nioxin, most shampoos, conditioners and styling products are formulated to clean, condition and support styling of the hair fiber/strand. Unfortunately, many of these products have damaging alcohols and PVP film formers that coat the hair and create buildup on the scalp. In some cases, buildup can clog the follicle and may further aggravate the overall problems associated with thin-looking hair.
For nearly twenty years, Nioxin have worked at the complex challenge of how best to address,and how to provide a solution for fine and thin-looking hair for the millions who battle this discouraging problem. Their world-renowned team of Nioxin researchers have developed the most advanced, natural-based system to improve the appearance of fine and thinning hair — Nioxin Thinning Hair Systems.
As we treat our facial skin with products to prevent the effects of aging. In much the same way, the scalp must be treated properly to maintain a healthy scalp environment and keep hair healthy-looking and strong. And like facial skin, the scalp is susceptible to everything we come into contact with every day — things of which most of us may not be aware. Toxins, air pollutants, chlorine, sunlight, minerals and water pollution can affect the scalp skin and contribute to the problem of thinning hair. For example, excessive exposure to sunlight allows harmful UV rays to penetrate the skin including our scalp. This causes skin cells to age, which thickens the scalp skin contributing to follicle instability.
Nioxin comes in eight systems. Each system represents a different type of hair and you simply decide which category you fit into.
System 1 - For Natural Hair that is normal, fine or in the early stages of thinning (Natural hair means non-coloured or chemical treated).
System 2 - For Natural Hair that is noticeably thinning (Natural hair means non-coloured or chemical treated)
System 3 - For Coloured Hair that is normal, fine or in the early stages of thinning.
System 4 - For Coloured Hair that is noticeably thinning.
System 5 - Medium/coarse, Natural, Normal To Thin-looking Hair.
System 6 - Natural Hair, Medium/Coarse hair that is noticeably thinning.
System 7 - Chemically Treated Medium/Coarse hair that is Normal to Thin-looking.
System 8 - Chemically Treated Medium/Coarse hair that is noticeably thinning.
Once you choose which Nioixin system your hair is represented by, you then have three products in each range (available in various sizes). Each Nioxin system has a cleanser, a scalp therapy and a scalp treatment. If it's your first purchase of Nioxin then we recommend you try the starter kits for your hair type.
