Since its inception in 1987, Nioxin Research Laboratories has maintained that “beautiful hair starts with the scalp.” It has established itself as a leading provider of natural skincare solutions, even though professional stylists and customers alike mistakenly describe Nioxin as a hair care company.
Skincare for the Scalp
Nioxin believes that by improving the scalp environment—which is skin—thinning hair problems can be treated. This is done through a 3-step system of skincare products designed to cleanse, nourish and treat the scalp, creating the optimal environment for new hair follicles to grow and to strengthen existing hair.
Easy-to-understand System Selection ‘wheels’ help professionals and customers choose the proper system for each hair type and degree of thinning.
- System 1: Designed for naturally thin hair that needs volume, that does not have any chemical process on it (such as colour, perms, relaxers), and that is normal looking or the scalp is only slightly visible through the hair.
- System 2: Designed for naturally thin hair that needs volume, that does not have any chemical process on it (such as colour, perm, relaxers), and that is noticeably thinning where the scalp is clearly visible through the hair.
- System 3: Designed for naturally thin hair that needs volume, that has been chemically enhanced (such as colour, perms, relaxers), and that is normal looking or the scalp is only slightly visible through the hair.
