Anyone else experience hair loss after having babies? I know I have. So I participated in reviewing the NIOXIN Challenge to see if it would work on me as a member of One2One Network. I received compensation for my time but as always, the opinions are 100% my own. Spoiler: I didn’t like it.
Thinning hair affects men and women of all ages. The cause is often genetic, and can also be triggered by certain life stages. Addressing thinning begins with understanding what causes and contributes to it, and the early warning signs to look out for. More info available here.

My Hair isn’t considered thick by any means and is more on the thin to average side. I have always wished I had fuller, thicker hair and envied the people that do! But I have never used any products that give your hair volume, I am very low maintenance and don’t like spending a lot of time getting ready so simpler the better for me. For example, I was recently given a fiber mascara to try but you have to put on 3 coats and I said forget it! My make-up literally takes me 1:27 seconds total, I counted it(powder on my nose, blush, eyebrow liner, curl my eyelashes and put on one coat of mascara. If I want to be more dressed up, I put on pink lipstick sometimes which will add about 12 seconds ;). I have only had my nails done one time in my whole life which was for my wedding day. I don’t use anything on my hair, just blow dry. And a curling iron once in a while to curl my hair.
Before using NIOXIN:
After using NIOXIN for 30 days:
The Nioxin products was pretty low maintenance which I liked. It’s a 3-part system kit that includes a shampoo, conditioner and a scalp treatment you put a dab on your hair after you towel dry your hair and style as usual. I wish the conditioner came in a bigger quantity because I ran out of conditioner way before I was even 1/2 way done with the shampoo and the scalp treatment. I do like using a good amount of conditioner on my hair and my hair is long, so maybe that’s why? I didn’t really notice a change in my thickness after using the products. Looking back at pictures, I guess it did make my hair look fuller a little bit, but it wasn’t enough for me to really notice it in person. I did notice my hair looked duller and less shiny which I did not appreciate. I would rather personally have a shinier, thinner hair than voluminous and dry, dull hair. So would I buy this and use it for myself? No. Would I recommend it to my family and friends? Probably not. It might work for other people’s hair so it’s not a definite no but I wouldn’t rave about it to my friends and tell them they have to get it. And that is my honest opinion.
Nioxin does guarantee that you’ll have fuller, thicker hair after using it for 30 days but if you’re not satisfied with the results, they’ll give you 100% money back. So I guess there’s nothing to lose in trying it out for yourself, it just might work for you, who knows? It seems more often than not, people do notice fuller, thicker hair using it and it just didn’t happen to work on me. And I am giving one away so you seriously have nothing to lose!

I'm interested to try this. I agree that hair loss can be due to a variety of factors (I think I'm influenced by age, hormones and stress).
