Question:
Nioxin Users - Little Help Please

I had lap RNY 8/22/01. In the week or two I have started to notice the dreaded hairloss. I was looking into using Nioxin and was confused over all their products. What do ya'll use? The shampoo, the conditioner, the treatment, hairspray, gel?? Or all of it? Can I use my normal shampoo and conditioner and just use the treatment, will this be effective enough? Any suggestions would be appreciated.    — Elizabeth A. (posted on January 13, 2002)

I use the shampoo,scalp therapy conditioner and the CYTOGEN advanced scalp treatment it is a foam you put on your hair after you wash it and leave it on.My hair loss slowed down a lot since i've been using all this.Lisa

I use nionix everyday, check my photo, I saw a show on tv that it really is not that effective, i am not sure, I bought a gallon, my sister is a hair dresser, just keep your hair soft, not much hard stuff to pull it out. Debra Holsomback

Use at least the shampoo and conditioner,consider anything more than that a boost.The gel is just a gel,light in weight so as not to weigh your hair hair down. Best bet is to buy a kit, cheaper that way.

If you still have a problem with hair loss try using Biotin. This is a vitamin supplement found in the drug store... and it extremely cheep. I have been taking it for 1 month and have noticed my hair feels thicker and have not noticed any hair loss in the last three weeks... I am 8 weeks post op. Some people swear by it.. others do not.. I think anything is worth trying.... Best to you.....
