Nioxin Follicle Booster

Nioxin products are made by Nioxin Research Labs and are carried at hair salons throughout the United States and abroad. Nioxin Intensive Therapy Follicle Booster is a leave in scalp treatment for all types of hair. The product is said to be ideal for anyone with a low-density hairline and thinning hair and is suitable for men and women regardless of age or race. Nioxin Intensive Therapy Follicle Booster helps repair and protect your skin from free-radicals which helps create an optimal scalp environment.

How it works

Nioxin Intensive Therapy Follicle Booster is an intensive booster for areas of excessively thinning hair. Using proprietary Nioxin technology called Scalp Repertory Complex; Nioxin Intensive Therapy Follicle Booster targets hair follicle sites for maximum vitamin nourishment. This protects the follicles from environmental hazards such as the sun and other outside pollutants. The process allows the hair to become full of vitamins and nutrients that it was otherwise being deprived of. The nutrient rich hair in turn becomes thicker and fuller.

Using the product

The product is said to be for all hair types but stresses that it is ideal for individuals with low-density hairlines and thinning hair. The directions for use are short and simple:

· Use Nioxin Intensive Therapy Follicle Booster twice a day.

· Gently and generously distribute with your fingertips to areas of excessively thin-looking hair and low-density hairlines.

The product does warn that due to increased microcirculation, a rosy red glow -that may irritate- will appear on the skin. The redness is said to be only temporary and fades soon after it appears.

Benefits of the product

Nioxin Intensive Therapy Follicle Booster boasts several benefits of use such as:

· Energizing and providing moisturizing nourishment for the scalp.

· Helping to create an optimal scalp environment.

· Protecting hair against DHT –the leading cause of hair loss- and the drying effects of the sun and other outside pollutants that can damage hair.

· Containing antioxidants and helping repair damage to the hair caused by the outside pollutants from the environment.

While the product does not come right out and say that it can re-grow hair it does promote itself to fight against DHT –production of a hormone- which is the leading cause of hair loss.

Conclusion

Nioxin Intensive Therapy Follicle Booster seems to be marketed as more of a hair enhancer and not as much as a hair loss solution. The product is said to make hair thicker and more lustrous and even says it fights the dreaded DHT which is the leading cause for hair loss. But it does not come right out and say that it prevents hair loss or makes more hair grow. The product does say however that the nutrient starved hair that you do have will get the nourishment it needs and be protected from outside pollutants that can further damage it. While it may not make more hair grow, chances are if used properly, it will make the hair you have healthier and thus fuller.
