Yeah, me neither. So when I started to discover that a few more strands were falling out of my head than usual (mixed with the image of my dad’s receding hairline), I took action.
I remembered recently coming across a brand called NIOXIN. It’s a haircare brand specifically designed for thinning hair, and it offers various treatments that are specifically tailored to you, depending on your hair type, and how thin your hair is already.
I set up an appointment with the brand straight away, and after a run-down on the products from the team, it was time to trial the in-salon treatment. What’s great about the treatment is that is it applied directly to the scalp and encourages blood flow to reach the root of the hair, as it conditions the scalp, in turn helping to promote hair growth. The product has a cooling menthol sensation that I really liked, and post-application my hairdresser exclaimed that my scalp had turned a healthy shade of pink – in place of the desolate white hue I had when I walked in – with no irritation!
Blood flow around the scalp area is integral for promoting healthy, strong hair follicles, and ensuring thinning won’t occur due to factors such as breakage, ageing and sebum build-up. The at-home three-part systems contain a cleanser, scalp revitaliser and treatment that will work to strengthen hair and prevent fallout by treating the scalp and ensuring a healthy environment for hair when used daily. In fact, in trials, 70 per cent of users noticed their hair looked thicker and denser after just two weeks of daily use!
