We often treat our facial skin with products to prevent the effects of
aging. In much the same way, the scalp must be treated properly to
maintain a healthy scalp environment and keep hair healthy looking and
strong, and like facial skin the scalp is susceptible to everything we
come into contact with everyday things of which most of us may not
be aware. Toxins, air pollutants, chlorine, sunlight, minerals and
water pullulation can affect the scalp skin and contribute to the
problem of thinning hair. For example excessive exposure to sunlight
allows harmful UV rays to penetrate the skin contributing to follicle
instability.
Most shampoos, conditioners and styling products
are formulated to clean condition and support styling of the hair
fiber/strand. Unfortunately many of these products have damaging
alcohols and PVP film formers that coat the hair and create buildup on
the scalp. In some cases buildup can clog the follicle and may further
aggravate the overall problems associated with thin looking hair.
Genetic
predisposition of hormonal levels as well as the conversion of
testosterone in Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can be inherited from either
your mother's or father's side of the family. A common family
predisposition involves natural, age related hormonal changes that can
cause hair loss. The DHT blocks the follicle stopping it from working
which means that the follicle will no longer grow hair.
Nioxin
Combats these factors by removing all product build up and helping to
remove DHT, which helps to promote the new and healthy growth of new
hair. (depending on extend of hair loss and contributing factors
results may vary person to person)
To get the most out of Nioxin you need to use the 3 step system, The
Cleanser, Scalp Therapy and The Treatment. Step 1 and 2 remove the DHT
and prepare the scalp for step 3, step 3 The Treatment will revitalise
the hair follicle and promote the blood to re-circurlate around the
follicle again which will in a word wake the follicle up helping it to
regrow hair once again.
Nioxin is broken down into 4 systems it
is important that you pick the correct one, so below each system is
broken down so it is easy to make your chose:
You just need to ask yourself 2 questions,
Question 1 have you got chemically treated hair?
If
the answer is NO than you will either need System 1 or System 2 which
is for non chemically treated hair. If you answer YES then you will
either need System 3 or 4 which is for chemically treated hair.
Your half way there so now to ask yourself the second question,
Question
2 Is my hair showing the first signs of hair loss? (hair just starting
to thin) or have I got more advanced signs of hair loss? (hair that is
noticably thinning and the scalp can be seen)
If you have the
first signs of hair loss you will need System 1 or 3 (depending of the
answer to your first question) and if you have more advanced signs of
hair loss you will need either 2 or 4 (again depending on the answer to
the first question)
To re cap
System 1 is for hair that has the first signs of hair loss and isn't chemical treated
System 2 is for hair that has advanced signs of hair loss and isn't chemical treated
System 3 is for hair that has the first signs of hair loss and is chemical treated
System 4 is for hair that has advanced signs of hair loss and is chemical treated
