Nioxin Hair Treatment

Nioxin Thinning Hair System – Scalp and Hair Care Nioxin Research Laboratories has established itself as a leading provider of natural skincare solutions and enjoyed a reputation among hair care consumers since 1987 as providing treatments for helping with thinning hair and making thinning hair look thicker and fuller. The products are designed to help remove buildup on the scalp that prevents hair follicles in the telogen (resting phase) from regrowing, as well as prevent excessive dihydrotestosterone (DHT)–a converted form of testosterone largely responsible for male pattern baldness–on the scalp and hair. Information from the company website notes that results from an independent study showed that nine out of 10 people who used Nioxin on a daily basis noted the appearance of thicker hair. 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. There are eight different NIOXIN® Scalp and Hair Care Systems designed to help improve the appearance of thinning hair. In order to create and maintain an optimal scalp environment, each System is formulated to achieve maximum results for your specific hair type. Using the wrong Nioxin System will waste money and time and won’t deliver results you want. Understand how to choose from the eight systems available. You choose the best Nioxin System for your hair type and [...]

Thinning Of Hair

Thinning and Loss Of Hair While thinning of the hair is to be expected during cancer treatment as was my wife’s case, if you think your hair is thinning, not to the extent of bald patches appearing, it is important that you check that this is actually happening and not just normal shedding. It is normal to lose 50–100 hairs a day – which can be quite daunting when seen collectively on the comb or brush. It’s unusual, but sometimes when your down or depressed, the thinning of the hair can be in the mind, as a symptom of depression, just because of seeing more hairs than expected or normally paid attention to! Thinning of hair all over the scalp (rather than patchy baldness) can be due to various causes. In the case of mental or physical stress, it often occurs 2–3 months after the event. This is because at the time of the stress many follicles enter telogen (the resting phase) prematurely, and are then shed together at the end of telogen a few months later. In this situation, the hair loss usually recovers completely. Again, my wife was on anticancer drugs, blood thinning drugs (warfarin) and just a bit depressed with the whole experience – no surprise that her hair remains thin and now the doctor is treating her with shampoo at the moment to relieve possible eczema or psoriasis – and he hasn’t ruled out that her thyroid has been affected at some point in the treatment [...]

Thinning Hair in Woman

Hair Loss and Thinning Hair in Women Baldness and hair loss is something that is most often associated with men. In fact for a vast majority of men so-called male pattern baldness is an inevitable sign of aging. Men can be self-conscious and embarrassed by hair loss. However baldness and thinning hair is not a uniquely male problem. While men will find it socially self-conscious to have thinning hair, it can be completely devastating for women. Some men do go to great lengths to treat or cover up problems with thinning hair, yet others can and have embraced their baldness. There are several men from Yul Brenner to Shaquile O’Neil who have made bald men sexy. Women have no such icon. Blonde, brunet or redhead, female sexuality has long been identified with flowing tresses and full radiant hair. A woman with thinning hair can’t help but feel like a social outcast. But take heart ladies, there are things that can be done to control, even reverse the effects of hair loss. How does Hair Grow? Hair is basically a protein called Keratin. This is the same protein that makes up our fingernails and the outer most layer of the skin. The hair we see on the tops of our head and that in the best of circumstances is thick, lush, and able to be styled, is the hair shaft. That part, the hair shaft, is actually dead tissue, and why it can be cut without feeling any pain. The “living” [...]

Womens Thinning Hair

First Steps in Reducing Thinning Hair For Women(and Men) [ad#Ad-plus-sense]There are many claims about what can be added to hair as a thinning hair remedy. There is new, yet controversial, information on what can be avoided to reverse hair loss. The claimed culprit is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), an ingredient in most personal care products from shampoos to toothpastes. SLS is found in over 95% of all commercial shampoos and its stated function is removal of grease. It is found in larger amounts in garage floor and engine detergents. This may sound immediately revolting, but it should be made clear that the amount of SLS in industrial solvents is considerably higher than that in shampoo. It is widely thought that eliminating of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate containing shampoo is the ultimate thinning hair remedy. Some believers have gone as far as eliminating shampoo use completely. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure of SLS to the skin does actually damage hair follicles, but the theory of SLS avoidance as a thinning hair remedy is called weak by some since shampoo is almost immediately rinsed off the skin and hair. There are arguments to the contrary that residue will always remain. While the claims are contentious, it is still clear that SLS is in no way good for you. Shampoo has anywhere from 10-20% content of this chemical which is nowhere near innocent. It is definitely advisable to rinse thoroughly after using it and to go with a “less is more” mantra. As [...]
