30 Day Challenge with Nioxin Growing up, I always had relatively thick and healthy. I would even get my hair thinned when I was in high school to reduce the time it took to style my hair each day. During college, I experimented with dying my hair, and my hair gradually became thinner and thinner after years of damage from coloring. My hair was thin, but it was manageable…until a disaster happened. I moved to a new town and went to a new stylist who proceeded to completely destroy my hair. My long and fairly healthy platinum blonde hair became a nearly gray/taupe mess of broken ends and frizz in hours. My hair was fried, and the salon’s attempt to fix the damage only left my scalp red and raw to the touch. Needless to say, I never went back to that horrific salon, but I still had to deal with the damage. I pampered my hair for months. No heat styling, rare washings, and lots and lots of conditioning treatments helped me heal my scalp and hair over time, but my once thick hair is now extremely thin. I decided it was time to try out a product that would heal my scalp and possibly help to add a bit of extra volume. I had seen so many rave review for the NIOXIN systems online, so I used NIOXIN’s online consultation tool to find my perfect match. I was matched with the NIOXIN System Kit 1, which is made for normal to thin-looking, fine hair.The 3-part System kit includes shampoo, conditioner, and treatment which work to nourish the scalp and provide thicker, denser-looking hair in 30 days guaranteed. I was a bit skeptical of the claims, but their 25 years of research made me the think the system was worth a shot.During my first use, I immediately noticed a slight tingle from the minty shampoo. The shampoo cleanses your hair and helps get rid of oil deposits in your hair follicles that can lead to buildup and lost volume. After applying the shampoo and conditioner, my hair feels clean and smooth. The scalp treatment spray is lightweight and doesn’t weigh your hair down at all. After using the product for the first two weeks, I wasn’t sure the product was working. I didn’t notice an extreme difference in volume, but over the next few days I realized I was able to go an extra day between washes. A few weeks later, I still didn’t feel like I noticed a dramatic difference, but then I started flipping through pictures from the past five weeks.As you can see in the before an after pictures, my hair definitely did gain an extra bit of volume! Did my hair magically transform in 30 days? No, but my hair looks noticeably fuller, and the texture is soft and smooth. I’ve even been noticing new growth around my roots, so I’m hoping that my hair will start growing in thicker over the next few months! Whether you have fine or coarse, colored or chemically-treated, normal or thinning hair, I think the NIOXIN hair care systems are definitely worth a try! They even have six different kits customized for each and every type of hair. If you’re looking for a way to nourish your scalp and get thicker and fuller hair, take the #NIOXINchallenge and share your results on NIOXIN’s Facebook and Twitter. Have you ever had dealt with thin, lifeless hair before? I participated in the NIOXIN Challenge blog program as a member of One2One Network. I received compensation but all opinions are my own.
