Don't believe the new & improved Nioxin hype

Hello beautiful people. So, I fell for it. This really cool stylist who cuts my sons hair kept saying to me: You know, The formula for Nioxin has really improved you should try it. Being tired of covering up my head with hats and scarves I thought, oh hell why not. So,$45 dollars later for the shampoo and conditioner. Then $27 more for the scalp treatment. Plus $37 for the follicle booster. And last $10 for this oil from India promising new hair growth. I gave it all a try. Each night after applying the shampoo and letting it set in for 2 minutes. Then conditioner and have to let that set in for 3-4 minutes. Then come morning the scalp treatment which made my halo of hair I call it feel like the bristles on a broom. Then 2-3 times a week the oil. Then came the constant checking in a mirror hopeing and praying to notice some new growth. Nothing. Nada. Nope. Not in this lifetime. So, I thought ya know what. Forget it. Spend the money towards charity better yet some ice cream for yours truly. Sping is just around the corner. And Viola Davis at the Grammys was a total inspiration. She went to the Grammys without her wig and she does wear wigs. But in this or last months People magazine they said under her photo, "There is something extroidinary when we stop apologizing for who we are." I love that ! Thank you. I thought. So, buzzing off my halo of hair tomorrow and going back to my $1.29 Sauve shampoo. Not wasting as much time and water in my showers. And God Bless, letting my husband have some peace and quiet without me constantly asking him notice any new growth repeatedly. I called my mom and told her I stopped using Nioxin and she too has AA and wears wigs. She said "Honey, if it worked there wouldn't be any bald people anymore." Ugh... I hate it when she's right. But it's true. So, save your $, time, and heartache and move on brothers and sisters. I am. -Kiki.

I tried Nioxin when my alopecia began. Of course, it didn't work. I have now had AU for several years. Can you believe it: a hair stylist tried to sell me Nioxin. As he cut my son's hair, he kept telling me I needed to "apply product" to my head. I had to tell him 3 times I had bare skin, no hair to apply product to, He just didn't get it. Never went back to that shop.
