Nioxin Treatment

Nioxin is a system of hair-care products designed to increase the health of the scalp, follicles and hair. Nioxin promotes itself as skin care for the scalp rather than just another hair product. There are various formulations for treating different types of conditions, from mild thinning to advanced thinning to chemically-treated hair. According to the website, eight out of 10 people who use Nioxin may see results in as little as 10 applications of the three-part treatment.

Cleanser

• Nioxin Cleanser is a shampoo. It works to reduce daily hair loss and remove toxins and hydrophobic lipids from the scalp. This creates an optimum environment for healthy hair and skin. Cleanser should be used every time the Nioxin treatment is applied.

Scalp Therapy

• You could equate Nioxin Scalp Therapy to a conditioner. It's the second step in the treatment process and furthers the goal of creating a healthy environment for your hair. Scalp therapy also helps to moisturize and nourish the scalp with essential proteins and amino acids that promote healthier, less damaged hair. Some types of scalp therapy, System 1 for instance, will leave your scalp tingling after you have applied it to your hair.

Scalp Treatment

• Scalp Treatment is the third and final phase of the Nioxin system. It comes as either a liquid to spritz on your hair or a foam to rub in. The objective of Nioxin Scalp Treatment is to infuse the scalp with even more nutrients. The product claims that by treating the scalp regularly, hair follicles will be able to regenerate new hair, and old hair will be healthier and last longer.
