NIOXIN hair product



Recommended Posts

I had no results with it. It's expensive for it to not work.

I had thin hair to begin with but it is MUCH thinner now. For about the last month I've been losing a handful each morning (such a tragedy).

There are several hair threads on here and we have been reassured that the hair will grow back in time. Just how much time we don't know.

Good luck with your hair!

:P

I've been using it for a few years since I have a condition that makes my hair thin. My stylist assures me it's great, but who knows for sure? I haven't lost anymore. I've heard that a trauma will make your hair fall out and you'll get it back in 3-6 months. I had a major move in March, my hair got really thin on top, but now I can see hairs growing back. So my trauma was a move. I think it's the trauma of the surgery itself that causes it, but I'm not a doctor. I think if you're eating healthy, taking Vitamins, and maybe a Biotin pill for goodluck, you should be able to keep your hair or help it grow back. Just my opinion.

I started losing my hair about 4 months after surgery. I did use Nioxin and it did not help at all. I spent a lot of money on that Vitamins and protien shakes. Nothing helped. Only time worked for me. It did stop and it did grow back. I lost about 50% of my hair though. It was very scary for me. But all is well now and it was totally worth it. Good luck to you.

I have been using Nioxin for about a year. It did not stop my hair from falling out. I began losing my hair at about 4 months out from surgery and it recently stopped. I continue to use Nioxin because I like the product (and thanks to my hairdresser, I get a great discount). I tried everything while my hair was falling out and nothing really worked, it just stopped by itself. It is a very traumatizing thing but it will eventually stop and you should be fine.

Thanks mumof2boys!! I'm at five months and mine has been falling out for about a month. I'm going to cling to the hope of one more month and hopefully baby hair sprouts will be mine!!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
