Nioxin

I have heard so much about the innovative Nioxin brand that I was absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to try one of their products. I received a bottle of Nioxin Diamax, which is formulated to strengthen hair and increase its fullness. My hair is prone to dryness and breakage, so I am always on the look out for a product that can help me combat my hair's fragile nature and make it strong. When I opened the bottle of the Diamax, I was immediately aware of the scent. While not unpleasant, this product had a very noticeable smell of alcohol. I turned the bottle over to check the ingredient list, and sure enough, alcohol was the first ingredient to be found. While I was at it, I went over the rest of the ingredients, and I was not terribly impressed with what I found. This product contains more fragrance than it does panthenol, which is a very important hair strengthener. Still, I applied this to my hair, which was clean and dried, running it through my strands. I was surprised to find that the texture of the product was not oily at all, but had more of a water consistency. It wasn't runny, but clearly different than most products that I have used. After application, I found that my hair was a good bit smoother, but the product definitely leaves a sticky feeling to hair. The alcohol smell persisted, but the overall fragrance is not unpleasant...it is fresh and clean smelling. To my amazement, though, my hair did appear quite a bit thicker, as though the strands had been fattened up. My hair is pretty thick to start with, but it was really interesting to see that difference in texture. I definitely saw thicker looking hair from using this product...each hair was considerably fatter. All in all, I would say that this product is great for someone who struggles with thin hair, especially if you have flyaways. From what I understand, it is fairly expensive so I don't know that I would purchase it for myself, but it could be worth it to see that "fattening up" effect for thin hair. Very interesting product. — 6 months ago

Smoothing serum with a root booster

About two years ago I noticed an increase in hair left in the brush/comb. I was not very keen on using a hair- thickening product because I thought it would smell bad, make my hair look/feel oily, or be very expensive. The very first thing I noticed about Nioxin DIAMAX Thickening Treatment was that it has a light/pleasant scent. It seems to be a silicone-based formula, yet it does not weigh down my hair. Also, it does not make my hair look/feel greasy. Thanks to the product design, It does not spray too much at once, which means, it allows me to control the amount I want to apply. I work into roots and through ends on my damp hair. Then I massage my scalp. I've been using this for 5 days, therefore, it is too early to know long-term effects. As for the short-term effects, DIAMAX makes my hair a bit more manageable and smooth, and adds body to my straight hair. However, I don't think it has increased the diameter of hair strand. BTW, I tried to use it on my dry hair once, but I felt that it did not distribute evenly, and since I used more, the next day my scalp was a bit itchy. In conclusion, it seems to work better on my towel-dried hair. I don't like the fact that it requires me to use daily, but if it really strengthens my hair, it is worth it. I will have to update this review in a few weeks if I experience a significant difference. FYI, the package says "Satisfaction Guaranteed or your money back". — 6 months, 1 week ago

While this is no miracle potion, it works well to give the hair a slightly thicker but definitely healthier appearance. I recommended it to my mom because she is experience a bit of thinning in her hair and she is loving it so far. — 6 months, 1 week ago
