Nioxin Hair Products

The Nioxin Philosophy

The formulators of Nioxin hair products firmly believe that healthy hair can only grow from a healthy, well-nourished scalp. Conditions such as excessive oiliness, seborrhea, or even normal dandruff are all indications of a sickly scalp. The company's intent was to produce a line of hair formulations that would help create an optimal scalp environment for hair growth. Therefore, Nioxin hair products are enriched with vitamins, minerals and special ingredients intended to rehabilitate the hair follicles, resulting in shiny healthy hair.

Eight Individualized Hair Systems

Because Nioxin recognizes that different people have different hair types, the company has divided its hair system into eight intensive treatment plans. Each of these plans contains a number of products geared specifically towards the treatment of a single hair type. The treatments include plans for:

• Fine chemically untreated hair that is normal to thin-looking
• Fine chemically untreated hair that is noticeably thinning
• Fine chemically treated hair that is normal to thin-looking
• Fine chemically treated hair that is noticeably thinning
• Medium/Coarse chemically untreated hair that is normal to thin-looking
• Medium/Coarse chemically untreated hair that is noticeably thinning
• Medium/Coarse chemically treated hair that is normal to thin-looking
• Medium/Coarse chemically treated hair that is noticeably thinning

It is important to note that Nioxin products are not necessarily used by victims of hair loss only. Rather, many people with fine or limp hair use Nioxin hair cleansers and treatments regularly simply for the products' volumizing and preventative/therapeutic effects.

The systems work in stages, beginning with a shampoo, a conditioner, and a scalp treatment. Regardless of the formulation, these products contain vitamins, antioxidants and certain ingredients designed to remove dihydrotestosterone (DHT) from the scalp. DHT is a hormone that has long been implicated in male-pattern baldness as well as female androgenetic forms of hair loss.

Effective Nioxin Hair Products

One of the more highly acclaimed products includes the Nioxin Scalp Treatment. This leave-in formula delivers preventative hair loss ingredients directly to the scalp via a [[Hair Spray | spray]/pump method. The Scalp Treatment contains an SPF 15 sunscreen which safeguards the scalp from UV rays that can cause cellular damage and hinder hair growth. More importantly, the formula contains botanicals, nutrients, antioxidants and special proteins called cytokines, which are applied to the scalp in order that they may permeate the hair follicle.

Do not be alarmed if a tingling sensation and redness of the scalp occurs upon application, as this is a normal occurrence when using the Scalp Treatment.

Cleansing and Volumizing

Many patrons of Nioxin hair products notice an increase in the bounce and volume of their hair upon using the Nioxin Cleanser. This is because the products contain a specially patented BioAmp system that increases hair volume without weighing down your style. Perhaps the greatest phenomenon of Nioxin hair products is their ability to remove residues and build-up from the hair while increasing volume. Normally, volumizing hair products coat the hair shaft to increase cuticle density which, in time, can result in lusterless heavy hair and product build-up.

Other Key Hair Products

Nioxin also manufactures several hair product lines that either aid in the repair of damaged strands or are formulated to enhance volume and shine. Aside from the Scalp Therapy line, there are currently three more lines:

• The Intensive Therapy Line
• The Volumizing Reflectives Line
• The Smoothing Reflectives Line

Whether you're aiming for a silky straight style or a texturized voluminous shag, Nioxin has a product for your every hair whim.
