This evening I went along to the very beautiful Michael John salon in London for a Nioxin Scalp Renew Dermabrasion Treatment and a Nioxin Thicker Hair Blow Dry, to say goodbye to thin and lifeless hair and hello to thicker more voluminous locks.
Nioxin is a hair treatment that aims at giving you fuller and thicker hair, which is fabulous for those of us who have unfortunately thin or thinning hair.
It has been designed to revive both your hair and most importantly your scalp, to improve the health surrounding your hair growth and appearance.
When I arrived at Michael John, I was greeted with a beautiful array of Cupcakes and goodies and introduced to the line of products that the lovely stylist would be using on me.
The stylist decided to use Nioxin Hair System Kit 1 for Normal to Thin Looking hair, which is how I would describe mine perfectly.
Nioxin Hair System Kit 1 consists of a Cleanser, a Scalp Revitaliser and a Scalp Treatment and in that order they was applied to my hair.
A small amount of the Nioxin Cleanser was massaged into my hair and rinsed twice throughly, in order to make sure the hair was completely clean. This was very pleasant and really did clean my scalp of any product and environmental build up so well. Following the rinse of the shampoo, the Nioxin Scalp Revitaliser was massaged into what felt like a very squeaky clean scalp. This was left to sit for a few minutes and gave quite a tingly sensation which I was told was completely normal.
This kit is informally known as a facial for the scalp, which sums it up pretty well. My scalp is suffering a little with dryness at the moment, which I have mentioned before and so I am hoping the exfoliation that this product generates on the scalp, removing build up and restoring the goodness, will help to improve it lots.
Once the tingly conditioning Scalp Revitaliser had sat for a few minutes and been rinsed off, the stylist ran some cool water through my hair to almost close the hair follicle, like you would with cold water to pores, and spritzed over the final product of the three step kit, the Nioxin Scalp Treatment. She described this as a toner for the hair which containing botanicals, antioxidants and peppermint oil, is spot on. This doesn't need to be rinsed and is the final step before blow drying your thicker, fuller hair.
Nioxin isn't a miracle and won't make your hair grow thicker but with the three steps- cleansing, optimising and treating, it will actively help to make it look and feel a lot thicker and fuller by improving the health around the root, on the scalp and in the hair.
There are additional products that you can use on top of the three step kit to further improve scalp and hair care and along with the Nioxin Hair System Kit 1 that I was very kindly given to continue to use I was also given a Nioxin Intensive Treatment Hair Masque which is said to help to strengthen the hair shaft against damage to reduce breakage and leave the hair further conditioned and manageable. I can't wait to use it, you know I love a hair treatment and I have a good feeling about this one.
The Nioxin Thicker Hair Blow Dry I was also treated to, was absolutely phenomenal. I went for curls, because I wanted to achieve the biggest hair possible and after a head full of pin curls, that's exactly what I got. I am so pleased with it the outcome and wish my hair would look like this every day!
I'm going to ditch all other hair products for the next month and use just these, I will be sure to let you know how I get on.
Is a Nioxin Scalp Renew Dermabrasion Treatment something that your hair is longing for?
