A hairy situation Part II

Okay - Ive been nervous about the thinning hair experience I had in my last major go-round.  So, Ive pulled out the NIOXIN and have started using it again.

Ive been feeling a slight thinning texture to my hair.  After one-week though, this stuff seems to be combating the problem and helping add volume and thickness to my hair.

Is it stimulating hair growth?  Im not sure - but hopefully its staving off hair loss.  That would not be good...

No - this is not me, but is a Nioxin client.

I learned about this product from my hairdresser who was also a Bernstein client years ago and recommended Nioxin.  She swears by it.  Little did I know that rapid weight loss causes hair thinning.  According to the Nioxin website (see http://nioxin.com/en-US/the-causes-and-the-facts-page.aspx?id=236)

"What you eat can play a significant role in hair thinning. A high consumption of animal fats, rapid weight loss and liquid protein diets can result in a lack of amino acids, biotin, iron, protein and zinc — all of which are essential for healthy-looking hair."

There are many other factors that can contribute to thinning hair, but hey, a 20lb per month drop is an inevitable contributor.

This stuff is not cheap though - the Scalp Therapy, Cleanser and Scalp Treatment (the triumvirate of power for follicle stimulation) is around $50 (if memory serves.)

The triumverate of power

Its a pleasant concoction though - tea tree oil, peppermint and other "stuff" makes it alright.  Its not too medicinal, but I do ad a little bit of leave-in conditioner to soften my hair.  Otherwise my hair feels a little like straw.

So, if you wish to help stave off any rapid hair loss along with your rapid weight loss, I highly recommend this product.

And sorry to the blessed soul who read my original post way-back-when and asked where to purchase this product.  I didnt have the comments linked to my email, so I never responded.  Mea culpa - how bad is that for a blogger!

I bought this at my salon in Gatineau, but please excuse my ignorance - it may be available in stores and online, but Im not sure.  http://nioxin.com/en-US/salon-finder-page.aspx  Heres a link to the salon finder to see wheres sold in a salon near you.


Heres to showering with a friend!  Get your mind out of the gutter people...I mean Nioxin.  *pfft*
