Since falling pregnant this time around, my hair has been falling out by the handful... it is also dry and horrid.
I went to buy some shampoo & conditioner and had Nioxin recommended to me. It is a little more expensive than the usual stuff I buy, but it is not out of the question. I was given a couple of samples which I intend to use tonight... but I am wondering if anyone out there in BB land has used this and would they recommend it?
TIA :D
Iisa, I tried it cause I was growing my hair out of a really short cut. It took a couple of months to notice any real evidence, but man did it start to grow like weeds and it was so thick and healthy. You must use the scalp spray stuff though or it's not going to work properly. So yeah, I highly reccommend the stuff.
Thanks Sue.
I think I will give it a go. My hair is usually really thick & healthy but this pregnancy is taking it's toll on it.
Thanks so much for your reply :hug:
No probs Lisa, you will love the results in a couple of months time. It's expensive, but oh so worth it and definately no gimmick either.
Ooh, what's this Nioxin?? Never heard of it. My hair is pretty good, and it's especially lovely during pregnancy (although a tad greasier than I would like, I actually have to wash it, which I usually can go for weeks without doing hehe), but it's always been VERY slow-growing... It's taken me about four years to grow my hair from shoulder-length to waist-length, most people I know can accomplish that in less than half the time :/ So I'm always looking for things that might give it a bit of a boost as far as growing long goes, kwim.
So does it help with speeding up growth, or is it just to help with hair loss??
I'm not sure if it helps the hair to grow quicker or not, but it helps with the quality of your hair. Usually throughout pregnancy my hair is fantastic, but with this one it is terrible... I am losing it by the handful (thankfully it is already really thick) and it is dry & dull. I have only used the Nioxin twice and I don't know if it is my imaginiation or not, but I don't seem to be losing as much hair already. I am definitely going to go buy the proper stuff today :)
There is a website if you're interested... just google Nioxin.
My hairdresser put me onto it after she had a Nioxin night at the salon that I missed and apparenty the rep used a microscope on her scalp and showed how blocked and filthy her hair folicles or whatever they are were. So what Nioxin does is cleans it all out and this encourages growth of new hair and also repairs the hair shaft. But as I said in a prev post, you must use the scalp spray treatment after each shampoo and condition. My hair was really short and I grew it out so quickly. I really noticed my hairdressers hair every six weeks and I had to look closely to be convinced she didn't have hair extensions or a wig cause it got so long in such a short time.
Well... I have to say I am sooooooooo impressed so far!
My DH even commented on how nice my hair is looking which is amazing. I have gone from losing so much hair that I have to unblock the drain hole every time I shower, to losing small amounts. So far this is the best money I have ever spent on hair care!
It is very good product isn't Lisa! Are you using the scalp stuff?
Yeah I have the cleanser, the scalp therapy conditioner thingy and the scalp therapy spray. I have noticed too that you can see my foils so much better in my hair now too... it is like everything it clearer. I definitely love it.
i had my hair done at the hairdresser and they recommended this as well. works well girls and guys
