I started using Nioxin for major hair loss (System 6). Though I think I have hair for System 3, I decided because I had extreme shedding/hair loss to get System 6. It stopped the hair loss immediately and is still stopping it. I Love the hair kit and the Nioxin HTX 3D Intensive Diamax. They saved my hair. As someone who works in Pathology & tells the doctors what is what… I personally recommend this & not that Neutrogena crud.
I found that ginger juice or a rice water helps to stop hair-loss immediately too
Thank you for sharing this
Thank you so much for posting, now I know I can nipping product after all! Good news!
did u try minoxidil?
I used various Nioxin products and systems for many years, and I was happy with results. However , in the last 1-2 years the product quality has changed dramatically for the worse. Now shampoo leaves hair dry, and frenzy, somewhat similar to clarifying shampoos which are very harsh
Tips for newcomers. If Dr Dray doesn’t link the product in her description its no bueno. 😃
Another tip for Dr Dray: Re: 14:52 - Beware (to her subscribers) of the propylene glycol, anecdotal, I know, but in me it caused treatment-absolutely-resistant dandruff about which a lot of MDs are ignorant. It was just very chunky dandruff (yuck) with zero itching. I tried every dandruff shampoo (Rx and OTC) for a year to no avail until I switched to foam. No more dandruff. So glad they ditched it!
Best comment!👌
Thank you!
Thanks for the feed back, I wish the profesional were more honest about these products, it's a serious matter for people who loose hair on a daily basis.
Thank you!! There is so much misinformation swirling around hair loss and it’s really sad because like acne, it can be a really distressing condition for many people leading to mental health consequences.
Yes I agree and my case is driving me crazy and this true i am not joking
So I do use system 1. I completely see your point. I have noticed my hair is fuller, and the breakage and hair-fall is much less than my previous shampoo, and I think part of it is the Ph balance of the system. It does work for me. I don't suffer from hair loss per say, but I have noticed that the hair I do have is stronger and it seems or appears fuller.
I really appreciate your videos.
I have had very similar results.
As a hairdresser of about like a decade, I can share with you you, that you are not supposed to apply strong hair shampoo on your hair.
I've observed hairlines of many individuals, and I noticed that people who were using strong shampoo cleansers generally had thin hair line.
So I suggest only to use mild shampoo cleanser only. I personally use and recommend to apply littleextrra coconioon shampoo only.
Also, do hot oil massage two times a week as it boosts circulation and promotes healthy hair growth.
Is Nioxin a strong shampoo or mild?
What's the strength level of Nioxin?
I’ve been amazed as it's just a couple of months, and Cocoonion shampoo, condiitioner, and hair oil have worked and helped me out in reducing my hair fall.
I used system 2, bought the small kit.
The shampoo really deeply cleansed my scalp. Did not have problems with the mint.
The conditioner was a bit too much for my scalp (I have oily hair), it really needs a long long rinsing to make sure it’s all off and my hair was always limp.
The leave-in product in this case is a light mousse that disappears in the hair. It does not leave your hair crunchy in any way.
All in all, I felt it helped slightly my hair thinning, and I’ve repurchased the shampoo to use as a deep cleanser once a week or so.
More than that, realising that I have chronic anemia and starting taking iron supplements was the actual game-changer.
I was treated for thyroid cancer last year and before going through that I had hypothyroidism meaning my hair was constantly shedding. I actually used the nioxin system to try and help. I didn’t find the shampoo or conditioner to be very effective but I did like the scalp treatment leave on spray and actually found it reduced the amount of hair I was loosing. I forgot to take it on a trip with me and that’s when I realised how well it was working when I wasn’t able to use it for 2 weeks. My hair has grown back now so I don’t use the nioxin treatment but I definitely found it useful, it didn’t do miracles or help to grow my hair but it did seem to reduce the amount of hair fall for me which was a massive bonus and saved me from a lot of distress in the shower.
I’m hypo and was also diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Currently trying to calibrate the proper dose of levothyroxine. What did you find helped with hair regrowth? I’m currently having the thinning issue and hair loss on the top of my head. Hopefully you see this. Thank you
@@EliasSanchez21 Hi, ah I’m sorry to hear you’ve been through the same. Because you’ve also had cancer you’ll probably be slightly over medicated to keep your TSH low to prevent the cancer coming back. I actually felt much better on a higher dose of Levothroxine and it definitely helped my hair! You should ask to see a copy of your blood results and push to get your TSH as close to 0 as possible .
My hair is about 90% back to its original health and thickness now and no longer use the nioxin treatment but it definitely helped at the time but have tried other products over the years that I prefer. I had covid related hair loss last year so I started using viciscal supplements for hair growth, scalp oiling 2/3 times a week and scalp massages and within a week or 2 my hair stopped falling out and now I have so much regrowth!
If you had surgery for your cancer recently remember that is a major trauma to your body and you need to take the time to look after yourself and try not to worry. Your hair will eventually grow back it just takes time and lots of patience. Be kind to yourself and try to reduce any stress as much as possible ❤️
I’m just seeing this reply. Thank you for the advice and kind words.
I am currently at 275 of levothyroxine and it will probably still increase. We’re still trying to figure out my dosing. I’m 6’4 250lbs and workout a lot so my dose is probably a bit higher than most because of my size. The fatigue during this time is very annoying but has improved little by little.
I don’t notice hair falling out anymore like before and I’m starting to have regrowth including my eyebrows. I’m making progress but the process is long and slow. I find myself wearing hats a lot to try and hide my hair because I don’t like how it looks compared to before when I had thick curls. But I’ve read that’s not good so now I’m just sucking it up and letting it breathe. Not only did my scalp get dry encause of this cancer issue but my face now suffers from being too dry and some redness also. Issues that I never had before. It will be a long road to recovery and feeling at least 90%.
I've been using Nioxin since 1994 & i love it. I'm male 56 year old & i use system #4 & the scalp treatment as well as the hair booster. The nioxin styling products are the best. I've used other products but i always came back to Nioxin. They have 3D system with with Pro thick & it works great for me. I have very thin hair with bald spots & really like it. Thanks for sharing.
This system has actually helped me, I don’t wash my hair more than twice a week. What I noticed is no hair fall or maybe just BEARLY with the nioxin system 💁🏻♀️ my hair did seem thicker and grew a lot of new one.
Wow
Which system did you use?
I started with 4 then went a step back to 3.
I'm a new skincare enthusiast (sudden onslaught of acne as I hit my mid-20s triggered the enthusiasm) and I'm absolutely addicted to Dr. Dray's videos. I LOVE her no-nonsense, evidence-reliant approach.
I’ve been trying to grow my hair out for months! I’ve been using a ton of various masks and I think there’s definitely some progress but not as much as I’d like. What is everyone else using?
what i said at the end
Lena, this has been my experience....
I have had a huge improvement in my hair length and new growth. I thought the previous slow growth and thinning was because I am approaching 50. The only thing that has changed is I increased my protein. I was eating about 60 grams per day and for the last 5 months I have been eating 100-120g of protein primarily coming from ground beef & gelatin. (Not jello brand) I already eat a low carb anti inflammatory diet (4th year) but it wasn’t till I increased beef protein consistently that I saw great improvement. No disrespect to anyone who only eats plants. 💕 🤗 I eat 3 C cabbage & 3 C iceberg everyday with 1lb of beef. I have also lost more fat since I increased beef protein.
Twice a week I use OGX argan shampoo, Pantene smooth conditioner (not on scalp!) I put the old fashioned vo5 ointment on the ends and don’t get much breakage anymore. I rarely use heat and careful with combing etc.
I hope you can find some improvement dear one.
I'm seeing a dermatologist and awaiting results from a scalp biopsy. I think that understanding why the hair loss is happening is key
Hair typically grows about 6 inches a year, so it should be growing. If you are still using heat (especially irons) on your hair, the ends may be breaking off faster than you can grow (heat damage is real, especially from really hot temperatures, aka "white dots" up the strand). Also, don't buy into the "myth" that you need to get your hair trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks. If you are still doing that, your stylist is taking all the growth off. All you need, is good hair practices (no heat), patience and less trimming; and it will grow. This is coming from someone with classic length hair (over the booty). Good luck!
Caffeine helps stimulate the pores into growing the hair faster. I used a coffee scrub by Frank and Body and that grew my hair super fast. Also Nioxin promotes hair growth and is recommended to cancer patients :)
Can you review the ordinary multi-peptide serum for hair density?
Also the InkeyList version! Both rely on caffeine and Redensyl
Yes please. It's the one I use.
Yes please
And your thoughts/insights on Redensyl for hair growth, please! I’ve seen some studies published comparing its effectiveness to 1% and 5% Minoxidil.
I used nioxin for over 2 years, coloured hair, system 3, I really see a difference. I was loosing hair by bunches, now just a few strands as per normal shedding! Love the product. I have also improved my sleeping, exercising and eating though at the same time as well as taking biotin sporadically 😁
Dr. Dray I have been using Nioxin for the past 3 months and my hair has grown back. The shampoo can be drying so after conditioning usually use a mask. Also have a good day!
Thanks for sharing
Good to hear!! It does help promote a healthy scalp, which for many people is enough to encourage hair growth. (As a hairdresser for 36 years, I continue to recommend Nioxin to my clients.) If it works...Go for it!😊
I see a liitle hair grow up. But i dont know if its after use nioxin... Also tried level 3 and 4 for colored hair. Didnt see difference to compare both. But what i know Its definety not for daily use. Its cleaned very properly meant left behind too much dry hair and scalp. Hair dye is shading very fast
So glad to hear it worked for you & so fast! In the first 2 weeks my excess shedding stopped with just the shampoo and conditioner. The growing back took a lot longer but it did. I leave the conditioner on for about 10 minutes and that's really helped with the dryness. 🌸🌸🌸
It’s so good to hear that it’s helping you guys as well ❤️❤️
It’s also recommended for cancer patients! When I used it I got a lot more baby hairs, which I assumed was from it. Also the peppermint and menthol will kill lice😂 It can also help a little with scalp/ face acne but I would not use it more than once or twice a week
I have an oily scalp and dry hair shaft and brittle tips that comes with flares of eczema. I used Nioxin shampoo and conditioner for over 2 months with no change to the overall health of my hair or scalp. I found the salicylic acid combined with the cleansers in the shampoo formula too harsh for my hair and made my tips break off. I use the Neutrogena T-Sal fragrance-free shampoo instead and it is has improved my hair and scalp health. I tried this product after watching Dr. Dray's clarifying shampoo vlog I watch her vlog's everyday and enjoy them! Thanks, Dr. Dray!
I'm just recently come across Dr. Drew. LOVE everything she says. MAINLY LOVE that she never seems to try and sell you the one and only miracle that's going to change your life forever. You just get the "real" information. LOVE that she says a product might effect one person differently than another.
Sharing ❣️: I’ve been using Nioxin shampoo compared with my use of Aveda Invati system for keeping the hair u have (not hair growth)and both have worked to slow hair shedding. I’m using Jamaican Black Castor Oil 2x week overnight and do see some hair growth as suggested by my hair dresser.
Which one is better?
@@tracycampbell3060 u have to try to see which works for you best. AVeda scalp revitalizer & nioxin cleanser shampoo.
Yes but I was just wondering if you found one product to be better
Excellent vid Dr Dray. I brought up my thinning hair to my derm during my last appointment recently and she recommended Minoxidil and Finasteride. So I just started both. I am glad you mentioned that you had a vid in regards to Finasteride and I will go and watch it. Thanks!
I have (heartbreakingly) experienced hairloss since age 17 (34 now) Over the years I have tried so many products and the only time I see a difference in the thickness of my hair is when I use Nioxin. It's very expensive here in New Zealand so that's unfortunate. I have been using spironolactone, mycrogynon as I have PCOS. I also use a simple anti-dandruff shampoo twice a week and with all of this, I can see that my hair is thicker. Still, it's not like a normal head of hair but it is thicker. After watching this, I might repurchase Nioxin. I don't think it regrow hair at all, but it does definitely make mine look thick and bouncy. Have a nice day Dr Dray😁
Ive been using system one for years after a hair stylist told me about it. I love the minty feel of the shampoo, but the scalp treatment can irritate my face and skin if it doesn’t stay put. Overall I really like it!!
I would love to see a video of your educational journey of becoming a Dermatologist!!
I used Nioxin for years because it was recommended to me for dry scalp and static in the dry Canadian winter. I have fine hair and have difficulty finding shampoo/conditioners that do not weigh my hair down. I saw a difference after only a few uses. Nioxin left it light and soft with no static or dryness. I only used it in the winter because it can be expensive.
I stopped using it when I started covering my gray because the series for colour treated hair does not protect the colour, and now I know why. Although I still keep some on-hand and will use it to if static is bad. I also never have never used the leave-in third step because one and two did the trick.
use humidifier 24/7 at home in winter. i do.
Ive been using Nioxin system 2 for about 8 years. Like Dray mentioned, if we don't know what the type of hair loss were experiencing is, we can't treat it. So last week I went to a dermatologist for a scalp biopsy to determine the diagnosis for my hair loss and stop wasting progression of my hair loss. Good luck to all those out there that suffer from hair loss and like the doctor mentioned, a scalp biopsy is very helpful in determining and treating hair loss!
Did the biopsy help?
@@perolikewhytho7174 it confirmed that I had miniaturization. It also stated the hair loss was non scarring so I am a good candidate for minoxidil treatment..I have androgenic alopecia!
There is minoxidil in it
@@KendraMorgani just got the same diagnosis. what s ur journey so far?
I literally just found Nioxin a few days ago and I've been so curious about it! Crazy how you always make videos on products I just started looking at.
I am interested in learning more about Peppermint and lavender EO for hair growth, I know you said that it doesn't help with the scalp health past helping relieve some itch... but I do know that a lot of DIY enthusiastic curly girls point to a 2014 and a 2016 study of comparing Lavender and Peppermint EO with Minoxidil on mice, with good results. I wonder if you disregard these study because they're only on mice and failed to be replicated in human trials or if you think the cost vs benefit of EO is just not worth it. I've been very curious on your thoughts on these studies.
Peppermint and spearmint work real well. Not sure about lavender
@@zebrom7994 It does
I am curious on your thoughts regarding hair loss due to autoimmune disorders. Would topical products work for medications that you were mentioning be more effective?
no, they dont address the issue
Dr Dray can you do a video on what you think is the best products for autoimmune hair disorders? (if you haven't already) x
@@_sadgirl_8730 that would be great it's really hard to find info on CCCA and other autoimmune diseases
_sadgirl_ I second her. I have alopecia areata, since my childhood. It comes n goes. Now I have multiple bald spots on my scalp. And can’t even go to my derm to get those cortico steroid shots during this pandemic. So would highly request a video with some in-home treatments, if at all. Thanks!
Same question for me. Hoshimoto's hypothyroid. Although, since my thyroid medication has been adjusted, I have new hair growing in.
Hi Dr Dray, In regards to your recommendations about getting a diagnosis, I find that to be the biggest challenge. I’ve seen numerous Dermatologists that would typically dismiss my hair loss problem and blame it on stress after getting a complete bloodwork that comes back normal. What tests do you recommend to get a diagnosis when your patients has no other visible scalp issues other than just plain hair loss?
Biopsy is the last resort to get diagnosis
Yes that’s been my problem as well. I finally went to hair club years back and what they did was scanned my scalp with like a magnifying glass that they touch your scalp with it and they go around and look for any miniaturized hair follicles and they found a few and even found one hair follicle that wasn’t growing any hair there. So with that I found that my problem is DHT based. My issue comes and goes but now that I’m older I’m definitely going to my primary for Spironolactone since after the birth of my child my blood pressure has slowly creeped up as well and this is also prescribed for that.
Try Dr. William Gaunitz at the Institute of Trichology in Arizona. This guy went through hairloss and has the knowledge to help you
i went through three biopsies before getting diagnosis that was correct. ccc alopecia.
Try hormonal blood tests. Hairloss can be also due to hormonal issues
Dr. Dray, I tried the shampoo and it did make my hair look fuller. However, I avoided the conditioner, as they usually leave my hair flat, and the leave-in products because of the probability of irritating the scalp.
I really love the kenra zinc shampoo, I have color treated hair and love it so much more than a drug store version of the same thing. The actual surfactants are more gentle than the ones used by head and shoulders and it is 1.9% zinc rather than just 1%. It does have a mild fraigrance, though, so obviously that's not appropriate for everyone.
Hello, Doctor. Caffeine is supposed to be a good ingredient for hair (re-)growth. It's supposed to inhibit DHT a little among other things. Do you know about the studies and are they any good?
Still losing loads of hair during lockdown. Stuck at home with parents. I am in my 40s and staying with a hard to live with father. Lockdown has shown me to take stock of my life, future etc. I think the same goes for all of us. Thanks Dr Dray for these videos. Always look forward to your daily videos in the UK ;)
thanks for watching! hope things improve
Make sure your thyroid is not compromised. Easily tested. Losing hair is a symptom.
I take Centrum Silver vitamins and it’s really improved hair growth, thickness, and strength.
Also having alot of hair falling out. Quite a process working with insurance, family doctor, dematologist, and hair loss specialist to figure out if it's male pattern baldness or something else. If I had $1,500 to burn out of pocket I could just get the full array of blood tests done and take it to the specialist for review. But because I don't, I have to work with what my doctor and the dermatologist he recommended think I should do (instead of just testing for everything). So far, doc checked out my thyroid and that's about it. That came back okay, so the dermatologists advice was to "meditate to reduce stress," and "wait and see" if the hairloss develops the typical male pattern or not, to only then decide what to do -.- ugh
@@copyRtest1check vit D and iron
I have personally used both System 2 and System 4 on multiple occasions and have found them helpful to thicken up the hair as four years ago at 22 my hair had thinned out so much. But these systems are more than anything just supplementing the treatment that is carried out in salons, which is if anything the product that actually works. The treatment can be applied every 45 days to the scalp. In my country at least, the treatment product cannot be bought for home use, not sure about other countries. I don't know if its ingredients are available on their website either.
Hi Dr. Dray! Happy Thursday! Can you make a video about regular shampoos you recommend? I know you recommend the function of beauty shampoo but it’s quite expensive.... Also thanks for helping me with so many things Dr. Dray! I find it amazing that you take time of your day to educate us. Thank you Dr. Dray!
Function of Beauty is totally worth it! I've gone through so many drug store and high end brands that don't hold a candle to FOB! I never spent this much on hair care, but it lasts on average 3 months for me, and I always use a coupon code so it costs me about $19 a month if broken down that way.
Dr.Dray has a video on shampoos. Basically she uses VO5 or any shampoo she wants
$50 for a 16ouncr shampoo AND conditioner specially made for you with quality ingredients I’m sorry no, that is NOT expensive at all. But I also know that you can pay half the price for half the product and it’s crap quality... I understand people’s backgrounds and have a poor one myself. But I’m sorry I’m today’s economy function of beauty is not expensive at all..those bottle would last you almost a year if you are washing properly..$50 for almost a year of shampoo and conditioner is CRAZY cheap if you actually sit and do the math.
Kaylee Hughes shut up. this girl is asking about other brands
@@cindyduhon1343 When has she ever mentioned VO5?
Thank you for this. I have been using Nioxin as a preventative for hair loss. I don't have it and don't want it! I do find it drying so I may try the Neutrogenas that you mention.
My hair was falling out all over but, a TON when i became very sick with lupus. My mom bought me the Nioxin system & i used just the shampoo & conditioner- the serum was too much. However, IT REALLY STOPPED THE HAIR LOSS FAST
After a stressful period in my life, I began to have hair shedding (telegen effluveum). While waiting for my dermatologist appointment, I diluted some rosemary oil with jojoba oil and applied some to the areas that seem to be thinner (my crown). I also improved my diet, practically eliminated all sugar and relaxed more. I know the latter sounds strange but I'm kind of a Type A and I had to force myself to rest, turn off the computer and social media and do something passive like read an old novel. By the time I saw my doctor, she examined my scalp and saw lots of new growth. My hair has been coming back and the closed salons enabled me to reexamine the fact that I was having my hair colored. I'm am close to 5 mos. of growing out my gray and again, my hair is showing improvement. I've also been run/walking and I find it preferable to my gym which is closed anyway. All of these are individual choices but it is good to do a lifestyle "quiz" once in a while before spending lots of money of products. Thanks again, Dr. Dray. You are a daily inspiration to me.
This gives me hope. I just turned 22 and made my first derm appointment on the 28th for hair loss and dandruff/itchiness problems. I hope I see an improvement.
My understanding with Nioxin is that it doesn’t necessarily regrow hair but it stops the hair loss from progressing further. I noticed light thinning and started using Nioxin system 1 a few years ago and it seems to have stopped my hair loss for the time being but nothing grew back.
Also you have to be warned about Rogaine. Rogaine will actually cause hair loss for the first 3-4 months as it basically makes you shed your damaged hair so you’ll actually go more bald which freaks dudes out. Your hair will start to come back after about 6-8 months and you start seeing real results with a year, But if you stop using Rogaine everything will fall back out. So once you’re on the Rogaine train then its a life long process unless you get a hair transplant or move to prescription stuff.
I have tried different systems over the years, including minoxidil, but I keep going back to Nioxin because it really does stop my hair loss and helps it grow. Maybe the ingredient list doesn’t look impressive, but it could be a particular mix of ingredients that make the “recipe” work. (Also, it is important to use the conditioner on the scalp. Don’t skip the most beneficial part! That is why it is called Scalp Therapy Conditioner. I let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing).
Dr. Dray this is an outstanding video! Learned so much from you ! Appreciate all that you do!
I also really hate fragrances of any kind and especially menthol & peppermint! As a nurse of 40 years ( life time of stress!), am taking a DHT Blocker for hair thinning . Does it work? My hair loss is due to High Cortisol hormonal problem.
My hair grows so fast with this and it gives my hair sooo much body because it removes the oils and cleanses well, plus it has salicylic acid and keeps my head from breaking out. Once in a while I switch to a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to hydrate my hair and then switch back to Nixon. The peppermint and menthol helps to simulate blood flow to the scalp.
Thank you for saving my money again Dr Dray - you’re amazing!
No problem!
Dr Dray! I am dying to know your opinion about NIOD skincare! Its another company owned by DECIEM, and I think you might appreciate how innovative their products are
I love using it, have been for some years, not consistently though, and even if its not a cure and your hair goes back to thinning if you are not constantly using the leave in treatments, at least mantaining it like twice a week, helped me. I feel like the Night Density Rescue works the best, and it is a option that makes my hair loss better since minoxidil makes my scalp extremelly itchy and hot. The leave in usually have niacinamide, which I'm all for.
I have always found that these shampoos are by far the best for thickening my hair and adding volume. It can at times make me look like I've suddenly gotten twice the amount of hair. However, I don't think it grows hair, don't think it claims to either. I love how concentrated the products are too. These are just my personal results. The thickening and volumising aspect is amazing. Haven't used another shampoo and conditioner like it.
I experienced a allergic contact dermatitis after using a hair thickening shampoo for about a month. First few weeks were fine, then suddenly - BAM - eczema and scarring on the areas where the shampoo would touch (arms, hands, neck, ears, upper back and shoulders. I am certain it was likely the peppermint in the product. At the time I thought peppermint was good to stimulate the scalp and promote hair growth, but I will never use shampoos with peppermint in them again as I am pretty sure I am now sensitized to that ingredient. 😞💔
I use Nioxin for colored hair. I can definitely see the difference when I use Nioxin and when I use other shampoo (biolage) During wash I shed less hair when I use Nioxin. I have to use a good mask after washing my hair with Nioxin because it dry my hair a lot.
I’ve used professional grade salon products, drugstore and high-end. Once I stopped using all that stuff and went more natural and chemical free, I see no shedding when I wash my hair. I went home last summer and used the Nioxin and my hair was going down the drain(my mom is also a stylist, so yes, I know what I’m doing when it comes to products)
Kaylee Hughes What are you using?
Hi Dr. Dray, what are your thoughts of fermented ingredients in skincare? Is there a purpose? If you’ve already talked about it in a video, please let me know 😊
👋❤️ Dr dray ..iv been using organic rosemary oil in my shampoo .. it shows testing statistics works better then minoxidil in 6 mo time line .. I’m 2 months in ..
Has it helped? I'm about to run to Walmart and buy some
Thanks for a great review of Nioxin! I've recommended it to my clients for many years and although it doesn't work for everyone, depending on the cause of the hair loss/thinning, it does seem to promote a healthy scalp which can encourage some growth. I've also used it myself for about 15 years. Thanks again for informative and useful content. ❤❤
thanks for watching
Been using Nioxin Cleanser 1 since 1998. I was told it's not to regrow hair but help keep the hair you have.
I used them for a while, but my hair dried out immensely and I found I was losing more hairs with it than with a regular shampoo.
Same here. Very disappointed, considering the cost. Big fail for me.
Same here! My hair felt much drier and my hairdresser told me I need to use a mask at least twice week because my hair had become crispy dry!
I have learned more about what products to buy for my face and hair in the few short weeks I’ve been watching Dr Dray than I ever learned in my many many visits to my dermatologist. In fairness mine is just concerned with my basal cell cancer. So thank you add Dray Incan now get products with knowledge and not just opinions
Loved this video Dr Dray ! So grateful that you post daily don't know what I would do without you ❤
Thanks for watching!
Baby girl, I take your recommendations SERIOUSLY and i have never been disappointed. You have single handed transformed my skin.
You're the best, dray 🤗💖
thank you so much!
I'm a big fan of washing my hair daily. I have stopped keeping my towel on my head for ling periods of time since watching your channel to help with breakage.
👍
Nioxin made my hair fall out even more. In handfuls. As soon as I stopped using it, the extra fall out stopped.
Same here. No difference
Same here, exact
How is it now
Oh yikes
Same
Nioxin has been working for me. I've used it for the past month and I have found that my hair is not only regrowing in my bald spot but also strengthening and making my hair longer.
What system do you use??
What system you used?
Good morning! Happy Thursday Dr Dray and peeps ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Thank You!! Happy Thursday!! Hope You're Having a Very Lovely Day!!
Happy Thursday 😘
Good evening from Kuwait 🇰🇼!
I just use Nioxin's System 2 cleanser. Not sure if it's helped me retain more hair, but it certainly does create volume and my hair looks extremely healthy. For conditioner I use Pantene Nature Fusion Smoothing (with avocado). My hairdresser was astonished when she learned I used something so cheap -- my hair is really shiny and youthful-looking (I'm 43).
I already know how you’re gonna answer before I watch the video! 🤣
lol! happy thursday
Dr Dray happy Thursday!
Thank you for this information!! Would you consider doing a video regarding ginseng on the scalp? I feel like it’s the new “it” ingredient that is supposed to help hair loss?? Thank you again!
Wondering what you think about the curly girl method? They recommend you wash your hair only once a week.
I've been using the reactivaate serum from litlllextra for the last month and completely moved away from my old serum since the past two months. It's working great. I simply apply it once daily with the spray pump included with the serum. It's really easy to apply, not oily, and without any scent. The hair growth results are up to now so great, and it's only 1 month just and I will continue to apply it.
You also have to watch the vague marketing language for their claims. “Studies show that people “felt” “saw”, hair “appeared”... etc. Like Aveda’s Invati for example... Solutions for thinning hair, reduces hair loss by 53%*. Always check what the * is for... in this case, reduces hair loss by 53% *due to breakage from brushing. Well I have curly hair and I never put a brush to my hair so how is this going to help me?
doesn't ketaconzle shampoo have research to show it helps with hair loss?
After chemo years ago, my hair started thinning pretty bad. Its grown in a little better, but I still no longer have the thickness of a premenopausal woman. Could my thin hair be the result of menopause or should I try treatments like this?
same thing happened to me. I tried hair skin and nails it imporved a little but I bought the nioxin. I am going to try. Thinning is now an issue that wasn't before. Also good luck on your journey
@Marlena Baker I wouldn’t waste your money on a shampoo like this, if the majority of your hair has grows back and looks great but your just lacking the fullness, I would seriously consider investing in quality hair extensions such as a hand tied weft sew in method.
I think in the long run you would spend more time and money on products that don’t work vs. properly installed hair extensions that give you the result you’re looking for.
I’m a hair stylist who specializes in hair extensions for post chemo clients, helping them get their hair back to the quality and fullness it once was.
I used the nioxin system 3 years ago and I loved the results! My natural hair texture was looking good and my hair was actually getting thicker. I only stopped using nioxin cuz i went sulfate free :-/ wish they would create a sulfate free version
If my hair wasn’t thinning so much I would prefer sulphate free but I needed to try something I do hope they release a sulphate free line
Dr.Dray can you please talk about micro needling and hair regrowth. Is there any scientific evidence?
Bought the shampoo and conditioner at Costco, and found the tingling sensation from the mint unpleasant. I'll occasionally take them out of the cupboard just because I don't want to toss them.
Been using Nioxin shampoo/conditioner for years thinking its helping my hair loss--it doesn't work. Thanks Dr. Dray for this great video.
I think you mean it does help. I want to try it.
JustBeYouTy no, I think she meant doesnt
I used Nioxin #3 15 years ago as my hair stylist used it at his salon but when it moved outside of the US where it used to be made and formula changed, he stopped carrying it in his salon and I never used it thereafter.
I used the stuff on my eye brows first cause I was scared to use it on my hair .my eye brows have seen growth in follicles that haven’t grown hair in 10 years. It worked really good and left my hair .so soft after about the third use .great product . I think .
How did you apply it without getting it in your eyes?
I'd love an updated video on perioral dermatitis. I feel like wearing a mask is making it more difficult to get rid off. 😷
i have several very recent videos on this topic
@@DrDrayzday Thank you! Yes, I just rewatched "Skincare tips while wearing a mask" which was very helpful. I'm still unsure if you'd recommend using LRP Ciaplast on a POD flare, or if it's better not to use anything at all until the POD has cleared up and then introduce a barrier cream...?
I’ve used Nioxin in the past and wasn’t a huge fan. I would love to know your thoughts on the irestore brand of shampoo and conditioner. I just got my irestore laser helmet about 3 weeks ago and have been using the shampoo and conditioner that came with it. I really like it (smells amazing and feels nice!) but it does have methylisothiazolinone. What about the irestore serum? Would you please share your thoughts on Redensyl compared to minoxidil?
Nioxin DOES NOT WORK. My dad has used it for years and his hair never changed...
I was surprised by this video. I had such great results with nioxin that I’ve never got from anything else. I was so curious what they were doing differently.
I watched my balding buddy go from losing his hair to a full luscious head of hair using nioxin, so I’m a bit confused by your video
Really???
Was he using the three step system or the minoxidil treatment they offer? Minoxidil is show to help with hair loss, but the system itself does not contain Minoxidil-just the specific treatment (which is not what comes with the three step system) does.
she goes into detail about how the reason for hair loss is important (15:52-16:57 get a proper diagnosis first) she also says some people will notice improvements with a nioxin system. so i'm confused about why you are confused
like she literally said it CAN work and she doesnt have a problem with the brand, but just thinks it's a bit expensive when there are cheaper products with the same ingredients. 11:26 "if you like these shampoos and conditioners...if they work well for your hair....i have no issue with them"
I also saw a woman in her 80 regrow hair, was it what she had in her youth? No but we def saw new growth (hairstylists)
This probably won't stop male pattern baldness. Perhaps your buddy was using oven cleaner as shampoo prior to using Nicotine? lol jk
I used it for 2 months now and my hair grows amazing. But I didn’t have any issues so I guess it really depends... I just wanted to boost my hair growth and it worked for me.
Do you only use the shampoo and conditioner or do you also use the scalp and hair treatment?
I like it I’ve noticed improvements, and I don’t go by Her Opinion especially her she always seem to want to discourage or take away peoples hopes of getting the results. Because I see a difference and they work for me.
Dr. Dray I love your music
thanks
😅
For me they worked wonders. I have thinning color treated hair
Can you do a review for "sunscreenr?" Apparently, its a UV Camera that shows you if you have enough sunscreen.
so will a black light
I think the Nioxin shampoo and conditioner sped up my hair loss (I have androgenic alopecia). It also made my scalp itchy. The only decent thing it did was make my hair appear fuller.
I've heard rosemary oil has been studied to be as effective as minoxidil. Dr. Axe recommends it, along with applying aloe vera to promote growth. I have a hunch Dr. Dray would disagree. I imagine one could become allergic to the rosemary oil too.
i reviewed that
Please review the ingredient panthenol in skin care products (not supplement) The single ingredient videos are just fantastic! I have rewatched the urea, polyglutamic and other many times. Super informative and so helpful. Happy Thursday Dr. Dray and everyone 🌻☀️
Yes, please.😊
i have numerous videos talking about this
Loved This Video Dr. Dray!! This Is a Very Interesting Topic, I Love Hearing Anything About Hair Health!! You're Sooo Knowledgeable on This and Sooo Very Many Subjects!! Thank You Sooo Much for a Perfect, and Important Video as Always!! Sending Love and Hugs!! Always!! XOxoxoxo!

Hope you are well. From sunny S. Florida 🏖⛵🏝
@@robynm7221 Thank You Sooo Much Sweet Friend!! I Hope You're Having a Beautiful Day!! Always!!
Dr Dray you always recommend T Sal shampoo, what about T Gel shampoo? It seems is a milder than T Sal. Wha do you think?
Thank you for this excellent review Dr Dray. Do you know if drinking green tea and scalp massage helps with reducing the effects of male pattern baldness - DHT?. Thank you.
Thanks for addressing Nioxin. Can you address using Monistat on your hair as a leave in as opposed to just using Nizoral as a wash off? It’s a whole thing online.
Omg I just purchased a show kit and the oil. But I can’t say I agree because I just started using it so I will be back with my review
How did it go?
Dr. Dray, I bought Quai Detox shampoo that is designed to ward off build up and dandruff but for some reasons I still get some flakes that doesn’t thoroughly clean. Neutrogena one makes my hair break easily. What are your thoughts on Quai Detox shampoo? I love their regular Quai Shampoo which helps keeps my hair from breaking and makes my hair so soft and manageable. The scent is amazing and purely vegan and cruelty free products.
I am loving your channel! Thank you for putting out such wonderful content!
thanks for watching
I wish I could see you in your office or home for an accurate diagnosis of my sudden hair loss. I live in Missouri in a medical desert.
I just brought this product today (at ulta) it wasn't the shampoo brand i was looking for, but I ended up going with for 2 reason, 1. did see it recommend on several lists of shampoos that helps hair, and 2. it was the one the worker said people had been buying. However, I am also going to be changing quite a few habits to try and get my thickness back along with this shampoo.
Hi Dr Dray, I appreciate your scientific rundown on part of the hair loss system, however you did not mention the 2% minoxidil treatment with the shampoo & conditioner. Could you comment/review minoxidil effectiveness for hair growth/regrowth and if there are different types of retinol and review 2% minoxidil vs 5% minoxidil for effective pattern baldness relief in women?
Dr. Dray do you know what the difference between their "scalp recovery" line and the "scalp optimizing" line is? (other than the optimizing not having a 3rd part leave-in product) I've always been confused about their indended differences and have never really been able to get a clear answer, including from them. I've also seen this question asked in Q&A areas of websites that sell them and Nioxin has replied with inconsistent answers. Both contain 1% Pyrithione Zinc as an active ingredient and both claim to help with symptoms of dandruff on the bottle (though there's no mention of either dandruff or Pyrithione Zinc on the optimizing lines web pages of their website, which makes it even more confusing!)
the words optimizing vs recovery are the differences
@@DrDrayzday thanks for the reply and the blunt honesty lol, its why I love your channel!
@@DrDrayzday recovery from what? Scalp loss? I’m still unsure when you need recovery. Please clarify.
Thank you so much! Could you, please feel me if those shampoos, which you recommend are good for color-treated hair?
Head & Shoulders unscented followed by a deep conditioning mask for a few minutes every time I wash my bleached platinum hair (every day after working out). Could help.
Thanks for sharing!!
@Dr Dray what’s your comment on the methylisothiazolinone and methylchloroisothiazolinone in Head & Shoulders?
I really enjoy your videos dr. Andrea. I have a question ? I have a bowel disease that gets me very tired and I also have dark circles under my eyes inherited after my mom. I started using a caffeine based under eye regime from the Original. I like their formula, and thought it was helpful, however I stated to notice that I am getting small pimples under my eyes and even on top of my eyelids. I don’t mean comodones, but actual pimples, and I find that strange. Have you ever come across this? 45 y/o F, thank you
Dr. Dray, what is your opinion on Viviscal Oral Supplement & Nutrafol Oral Supplements for Hair Growth??
Most Cosmetic Medical/Spas push & sell these supplements. I am trying the Viviscal supplement, states you need to try for up to 6 months to see a difference. I am trying the Viviscal because it is much more affordable than the Nutrafol. I have my doubts about if it will help with “female pattern hair loss” (I have thinning in just the temple area) but thought I would give it a try for 6 months. I hope I’m not wasting my money!!😕
Also, can you please tell me the Percentage of women that Spironolactone medication helps for “Female Pattern Hair Loss?” I initially tried the medication per my dermatologist, but I had to stop the med., due experiencing headaches which are a side effect. I might want to try it again.
I'm praying that Nioxin works for me...I want it to work.😔
hair loss is frustrating
Be consistent with using it & you should see results. For many it may take 4-6 weeks to see improvement. Fingers crossed for you!
Minoxidil. Period.
Yes and to add, go visit a dermarologist to determine hair loss. Trust me! I've been using Nioxin for 8 years and I wish I would have just visited the dermatologist for a scalp biopsy to determine hair loss!!!
Idelis Guzmán I did the same thing last year when I started using Nioxin at the recommendation of my stylist. I didn’t want to use Rogaine (minoxidil). But it didn’t help with my hair loss, and now, a year later, I am starting with the Rogaine. I wish I would’ve started it last year instead of placing my hope on the Nioxin. The hair I’ve lost in the 12 months while I was procrastinating on starting the Rogaine (hoping I wouldn’t need to go to “that extreme” for my hair loss) I may not get back. My hair loss is due to androgenic alopecia, hormonal changes peri menopause, and hypothyroidism. I like the Nioxin as a shampoo, but I wish I had started a real treatment way sooner! Don’t wait!
