Nioxin leaves my hair very knotty after washing it with shampoo then it’s hard to brush . I’ve also had a lot of hair breakage. Show details
First purchased the Nioxin system 4 in March again August now on my second purchase. Noticed hairloss and baldness along forehead hairline, side and back of head. The instructions and info are in Mexican as it says its made there. Very… Read more
disappointing I purchased the product, not knowing enough about the product. I reduced washing my hair to once a week for fear of losing more. Have taken photos no notable new hair growth at all. Today I joined a FB Nioxin group, one video review noted the products do not help with new hair growth or people with auto immune, had I known that wouldn't have purchased and its expensive, was fortunate to get it second one on special $30 cheaper at chemist warehouse. Although the hairloss doesnt show significant signs of hairgrowth, hair seems stronger, could it be I am not using it enough. Why is Australia an English soeaking country accept products that consumers can't read is not fair for consumers. I wouldn't recommend buying this product.
Follow-up · Hair still comes out. Washing hair 2x week. Changed now to another product Georgiemane an Australian vegan product range will see how that goes
A waste – I used nioxin system 3 for about 2 months and my hair tangled from the shampoo the conditioner helped to untangle a little but all in all my hair actually started falling out. My brush was full of hair which wasn't the case before I started using this product. It didn't work for me. Wasted my money. Show details
Like all the others, does not work – It smells just like TEA TREE OIL, I'm wo dering if it is, feels same, smells the same. Did, nt do anything at all, like all shampoos on market just fancy adverts, did, nt do a thing, and too exspensive over rated, hair regrowth shampoo, s Do not work saw no effect or difference at all, another rubbish shampoo, with all that other chemical… Read more
head/hair damaging crap, should be band from market a lot of those chemicals that's just reakung havic on people's hair..
So yeah just another silly fancy bottle of chemicals with a fancy silly label stuck on it and too exspensive,
I DO NOT RECOMMEND NIOXIN SHAMPOO AT ALL...
Disappointing. Won't be purchasing again – No significant change after using for close to 12 months. The Scalp & Hair Treatment (Step 3) left my hair feeling like tangled straw after my hair dries - it's like that until I wash it again. Won't be purchasing in the future. Show details
Wish I read reviews first! – This stuff stinks, I thought because it was an expensive type it would be good. It smells like tea tree oil / minty. I went with system 2. After smelling it I read reviews, and I’m not even going to try it!! Should have gone with kerastase! Show details
Need help with a answer – I had problems after I used it but I don’t know if it’s supposed to do it but some parts of my hair went really dry into a fluff knots and the end parts of my hair is really dry been like 2 days now Show details
This is amazing! – I've been looking at buying Nioxin for awhile and one day I just said what the hell and bought the trail. I can't enough of this stuff! First off my hair has always been oily and lifeless. I've always had thin hair but before my hairdressing career started, I had a lot of it. Over time bleaching, styling and doing everything you can think of… Read more
to my hair, I noticed my hair had progressively got sparse, my actual ends were snapped and it was just a mess (even though I had cut off majority of my bleached ends off and grown majority of my natural hair out). Now going into my third bottle my hair doesn't get oily as quick, I have so many new growths coming out, I'm starting to have little bit of volume happening again like I used to. I even noticed back when I used to do scalp bleaches I started to suffer from an itchy scalp and it seemed to control that as well.
I find it good – I haven't had issues with it and my hair grows at a snails pace so have found it helpful. No bad side effects so ill keep using it. I think its been around a long time so they know what they are doing but i guess it doesn't work for everyone. Show details
Still constant shedding after 8 weeks – I have given this a good amount of time understanding that I was going to have shedding. But the amount of shedding after 8 weeks is far more than I ever had before.. I would NOT recommend this to anyone at this point. I understand cleaning my scalp, but holy cow.. Show details
Try it first - Male system – rogaine worked better for me Harsh and lost hair with system , buy a trial pack before you invest and test Scalp damage also. not happy. Look for a product with less harsh chemicals Show details
Amazing! Really works and I can see my hair growing back - see photo attached – My hair has always been quite thin, but got even thinner after having my baby. 2 years post-partum, some of it grew back but not all. Then I used Nioxin System 3 - it's only been about 8 weeks and I can already see my hair growing back, especially around my face. I'm so impressed!! I'll definitely keep using this! Show details
Nioxin has caused purulent inflaming wounds on my scalp – I had a problem with a dry and itchy scalp and my hairdresser advised me to try Nioxin system 3. I bought the kit which included shampoo, conditioner and toner. After applying each product on my scalp the feeling was really cooling and relieving as it had a peppermint or some sort of cooling extract. The minute my hair was dry and done the itching… Read more
came back with bigger intensity and parts of my scalp which were inflamed before became purulent super painful to touch. Such a bummer that I had to spend so much money on this trio and now it will stay on the shelf with no use.

helped with thickening ruined texture – I think that this product has helped with regrowth. However after a couple of months my hair is feeling very dry and noticeably frizzy. I usually have very soft curls. I'm not sure what to do other than use yet another product.
Abort abort abort abort – So I have quiet thin hair but I can make it look thicker by not using heat. Anyways I thought I'll give nioxin a try because I wanted to start straight it again and I knew it would get damaged and look thinner. So I bought system 3 and I had such high hopes. My hair started off really soft but no difference it quality But after a good 2 weeks I… Read more
noticed my scalp showing alot more then usual like to the point it was noticeable it did the complete opposite of what it was meant to do what it says. I have nothing good to say my hair didn't look bad it wasn't unhealthy the colour looking good all before I using this and after a month of using the shampoo conditioner and thicking sprays and serum my hair is dry it was very very fine my scalp is no sensitive and I've lost of alot of hair. In just a month and I still have over 80%left.
NOTE, I went back to my palmers coconut shampoo and conditioner and leave in conditioner it's all natural not full of chemicals and no word of a lie my hair is back, it's thicker and softer and not as fine. Nioxin is bad im so glad I stopped using it when I did.
Chemical burn from nioxin spray – I brought the trial pack of nioxin 3 system and I used it for the first time today. It blew me away that you are told to put the conditioner on the scalp which gave an extremely minty sensation and surprisingly didnt leave my fine hair feeling oily.. The problem I had was the leave on spray, as I was putting it on I got some on my face and just… Read more
kept going with applying it to the rest of my scalp by the time I had finished there were chemical burns on my face where the nioxin had been.. That's a bit scary.. I'm still interested to see how my hair goes but I'm not in a hurry to buy anymore of this product..
Perfect – Nioxin is just the best. I've used permanent hair extensions for 4years straight never went without them which caused my hair to look like a flat thin patch on my head... so id get more extensions. Finally i was told to use this once i take the extensions out and within 2weeks my hair was thicker looking and had more volume it feels good and sits… Read more
well i look great and dont have an anxiety attack when i look in the mirror anymore. No more extensions for me either I've even noticed some growth! In weeks! Life savers xx
Had a bad hair fall right after using it – I’m suffering from hair fall many years now sonI decided to try nioxin 4. While washing my hair with the shampoo, my hair keeps falling same as when i was applying the conditioner and the treatment. It was really bad hair fall. I never experience that before even though i suffered from hairfall for so many years. I’m not happy with the product. It doesn’t worth the money I spent to it.
Does work but need patience – I have been using Nioxin for a year and can see and feel the additional hair growth. I suggest those who have said they used it for a couple months only have not been using it long enough. Hair does not grow overnight! I had always had fine hair and lots of it. But with age and the birth of my son and genetics and stress my hair was fine and… Read more
also extremely thin. Particularly at the sides above my ears. So thin I would not wear it out as it was so noticeably thin. I wear it in a small loose plait and get regular trims. Although it will never be exceedingly thick. Nioxin has definitely improved it. I think in another 6 months the new growth will meet the length of my hair and I will wear my hair out on occasion. This being the case means it has taken 18 months since first using.
This really works,it's amazing – I couldn't believe this product actually worked.Having naturally thin,fine hair I thought I'd give this product a go and within 2 weeks I could see all the new hair growing.A small amount goes a long way too.Nioxin System 3 really works, I love it!
Wouldn't consider using it again – I used it for about two months before I developed a severe case of scalp dermatitis combined with an extremely itchy scalp. My dermatologist told me to stop using it and put me on a coal tar based shampoo which cleared up the condition within a week. Sadly, within those two months, I saw no change in the thickness or volume of my hair. Extremely disappointed after spending all that money.
Has helped my thinning and hair loss – Over the past 3years i have had problems with hair loss i think more than normal. I have found in my personal experience these products have stopped my problem. I use argan oil shampoo & cond as well as nioxin. For me the benefits are fantastic my age is 60 so that could have been the cause thakfully i found a fix.

Works for what you want but not good for you – I have very thin hair and always have been jelous of girls with thick beautiful hair. I was recommended to use Nioxin by my hair dresser and it defiantly works for creating thicker hair and also helps with hair growth. Thats why it's really sad thats it's full of so many harsh chemicals that have been proven to ruin your hair. For example it is… Read more
full of SULPHATES this is a big no no in hair care. Please be aware that any products with sulphates in it should be avoided. Sulphates dry you out and and that is the last thing your hair and skin needs.
I have now swapped to "organix" Moroccan shampoo and conditioner which are sulphate free and have never ever been so happy with the condition of my hair.
This product is good for what it is advertising but in the long run you are not doing yourself any favours.
Excellent product – After years of being a hairdresser and having numerous drastic color changes to my hair, it started to thin out, I also started noticing small bald patches around the front where the hair would grow a little, to just fall out after a few months. After having my daughter, breast feeding than loosing quite a bit of weight my scalp and hair… Read more
suffered.
Being in the hair industry, I had heard of Nioxin and even recommended it to a few clients, I decided to give it a go for myself.
I didn't notice much of a change, the shampoo and conditioner tingled a bit, like deep heat rub, I also noticed the scalp treatment would leave tempoary red marks if it ran past my hair line.
I was aware when I started this system that this would happen but I still was a bit unsure about it.
The first 2 months I really thought I was wasting my time, by the 3rd month I started to notice "fuzzy" bits of hair growing in my bald spots, less hair fall and sensitive spots on my scalp becoming less itchy.
I've been using this system for 13 months now and my scalp is 100% better.
The bald spots have constant hair growth, my hair is stronger and less prone to breakage, which is great when I blowdry and straighten my hair everyday for work.
My hair is still rather "thin" it always has been but there seems to be more of it.
The texture hasn't changed but the amount I'm sprouting is greater.
The product still "tingles" when I use it, but I've come to find it quite refreshing.
Never has my hair been so good.
My scalp is less irritated, flakey red spots have gone and all in all I'm extremely happy where my hair is now as aposed to 13 months ago. It works, easy to buy, never out of stock. Expensive, the tingly sensation takes awhile to get use to. The 3rd step leave in scalp spray is harder to apply as your hair grows.
Definitely works – I've been using the sytem 3 now daily for nearly 3 weeks. It contains a peppermint scented shampoo, conditioner and scalp spray. It is designed for normal to thinning chemically treated hair. I don't colour my hair but my salesperson recommened I use the system 3 as my ends were quite dry and would give my hair moisture. I have noticed an… Read more
improvement in my hair. I used to get psoriasis and dandruff and this has cleared it up completely without being harsh. I have very long hair just above my waist but had short sides that would not grow for years and normal to thining hair around my fringeline caused by unknown factors. Since using these products I can now tuck my sides behind my ear which shows they have grown considerably. I have found that my thinning at the fringeline has improved slightly, but I'm using this system everyday so it is hard to judge, but people who don't see me everyday comment on my hair and that it is working. I used to shed a lot of hair in the shower, cushions, jackets etc but that no longer happens although I still have fallout when combing at shower time, but it is normal to lose up to 100 hairs a day, so I am happy with that.
The shampoo literally cleanses the scalp and does not leave any residue. It truly feels like it has spring cleaned my scalp. It removes DHT, which is testosterone based oils that clog up and prevent your hair growing. The conditioner is very invigorating and tingling and they recommend you apply from root to ends. I was concerned the conditoner on roots would weight it down but it hasn't. The leave in spray doesn't smell at all and is used after towel drying hair and you simply spray on areas where you are thinning, massage in, then style as usual. There is no greasy residue but some people have commented that their scalp tingles and reddens (Nioxin says this happens but is temporary) but I never experienced this, though when the spray dribbled down on my cheek and neck, I was left with a red rash for 10 minutes that cleared up immediately but no way did it hurt or tingle. No drama. The downside to the spray is that I found it only lasted me 1 week before I ran out Maybe I was over zealous being my first time of using it. I have still continued with the shampoo and conditioner in the meantime until my order arrives. I find it does nothing for my friziness, so am planning on buying thier deep intensive masque to combat my frizzies.
Generally Nioxin is considered very expensive, but I am very savvy and worked out the best way to buy mathmatically and found beautybay.com is the cheapest with thier starter kits and they ship worldwide free. If you buy two at a time, it only costs $68 AUD and products are the exact size as the retail sizes but at least $20-30 cheaper.
I may swap to sytem 4, which is identical, the only difference being it is for considerably thinning hair. I have noticed that It actually has one less of the active ingredietns of system 3, so may have to investigate more before I do this.
Also, Nioxin is guraranteed to work! Nioxin Guarantee, It works, smells and feels great, scalp problems dissapear within days, hair does grow. Pricey if you don't shop around
Does not work – I have used this product for four months, exactly as the instructions state and I have noticed no difference in my hair. On the positive, the conditioner smells really nice and my scalp and hair feel really clean. My hair is shiny and healthy looking but there is no difference in texture. This product basically does not do what it is advertised to… Read more
do. It smells nice and leaves hair feeling fresh. It is expensive and does not do what it is marketed as doing.
