Does Nioxin help with hair loss



Recommended Posts

Nioxin works by stimulating hair follicles. To truely get it to work you would need to use the whole line of products, not just the Shampoo and conditioner.
Prenatal Vitamins work really good on hair and nails.
That said, i actually really like nioxin as a product.

I guess your referring to it helping with the Hair loss while you are losing weight. This hair loss is just an acceleration of your natural hair loss cycle (hair that was going to fall out anyway) in response to the stress of surgery, reduced calories, restricted diet, weight loss, etc. It’s temporary. Your new hair is still actually growing but just at it’s usual rate. The hair loss tends to start at around months 3 or 4 & lasts about 3 months +/-. (It seems to be the same length of time for those who take all the Hair growth Vitamins & supplements like Biotin too.) It seems to stop around the time you’re eating more & a broader range of nutrients & you’re not as stressed. It most cases, the only person who really notices the loss is you (& your hairdresser 😉).

A lot of us cut our hair if it was long during this time. I did it so it wouldn’t take as long for the new growth to reach the length of my shorter existing hair. Plus shorter hair usually looks thicker, bouncier & healthier.

But you can always try something like Nioxin if you want. Can’t make it worse.

I never tried Nioxin. Personally, time is the only thing that worked for my Hair loss. And I tried everything-shampoos, Biotin, etc. Don't get discouraged! :) It is only temporary and it will grow back.

Two things I did to help with hair thinning after my surgery - Shorten it a bit and perhaps add some layers so it reduces the weight. Add some highlights - The color helps thicken the hair a bit. I also have dark hair and a fair scale so it helps with the contrast.

I am doing Nioxin right now because I am way post op and think my current thinning is either post COVID or menopausal.

      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.
