2. Nioxin Started over 20 year ago, Nioxin is a pioneer in hair loss
treatment. Today, the company continues to create hair care
remedies for every hair type at every stage of hair loss.
The best thing about Nioxin is that they make use of a system and a
wide range of treatments for every type of thinning hair. These
systems are designed to provide a healthy scalp to give your hair
the best possible foundation from which to grow. The positive result
is dependent upon using the right products and cleansers found in
the suite of products.

There are also therapy treatments that are intended all
types of scalp and hair conditions. They address the
specific hair type and the needs of the scalp in order to
provide a relevant solution for thinning hair.
4. Positive Effects
The focus of Nioxin hair products is to encourage
the growth of healthy, strong and shiny hair. The
company’s ideals are based on the belief that a
strong and nourished scalp promotes good hair
growth. The purpose of Nioxin is to provide a
strong scalp base for hair to grow. The products
consist of a specialized blend of minerals,
vitamins and special active ingredients (all of
which aim to replenish the hair follicles).
5. Negative Effects
The most commonly experienced Nioxin side effect occurs after
the use of the scalp treatment products, and it is manifested in
the presence of scalp redness. This redness is typically related
to the inclusion of niacin in the formulation. Niacin is one of the
B-vitamins and it possesses properties that dilate blood vessels
and enhance the circulation of blood to the scalp. Anyone who
has taken large doses of niacin internally has experienced the
temporary skin reddening that occurs. This side effect, however,
is temporary and should disappear within an hour of the
product’s application.
People who are sensitive to certain chemicals or who have
allergies to herbal botanicals can experience allergic reactions
as a side effect of Nioxin. Some signs of allergic reaction include
facial and mouth swelling, irritation, flaking of the scalp, redness,
and breaking out into hives. Propylene glycol is one of the
ingredients in Nioxin products, and many people are allergic to it.
In addition, some Nioxin formulas do contain Sodium Lauryl or
SLS. SLS is a harsh detergent contained in many shampoos.
This chemical is known to cause scalp irritation as well as hair
loss in some cases.
