[LushLox]

Wow, thanks for the heads up. Yes please come back and let us know what you think.

I am still bummed about my skin breakout I was just getting over the biotin breakout disaster and my skin was completely clear/glowing from taking the Nioxin once a day. Then I upped to 2/day and breakout city again SMH I just want my clear skin back I think anything over minimal amounts of biotin just doesn't agree with my skin But all you ladies gorgeous hair pics/excellent growth make me wish I could stick with the 2/day regimen...sorry to be Debbie Downer, I just hate having pimply skin! Plus, I am a picker and I now have scars from this latest breakout But things are going to turn around, I know it Just gotta be patient

I feel you sis... I'm going through a major breakout myself and I'm not sure why. I'm getting dark marks where the bumps were and more and more keep popping up everyday.

Its hard to deal with when you're used to having flawless skin.

Working on having patience though...I keep asking people what am I supposed to do about this cause I'm clueless. I have always taken excellent care of my skin ie: wash, toner, and moisturize. I don't know what to do about these pimples though.erplexed

When i first started taking nioxin i had break outs, but then i started drinking 64 oz of water a day and the break outs cleared up and i havent seen a pimple since.

my morning routine....
#7 with a Carmel Iced Coffee (light and sweet) and my Nixion

 

[growinghealthyhair]

My hair is DEFINITELY thicker. My new growth is soooo much thicker than the rest of my hair (i'm natural). I also have 1"+ of growth in most places. I've been taking them since the beginning of march.

And my hairline is filling in like CRAZY. I would post pictures but i'm a little embarrassed at the current condition of my hair :-(

 

[davisbr88]

So, I think I have it figured out! When I wake up in the mornings, my skin is pretty much as clear as usual, but then after I take the Nioxin, it breaks out (I guess as my body is absorbing it), but when I wake up the next morning, it's mostly gone and has become progressively better over the last couple of days. I am going to start taking it at night from now on and see what happens. Is there anything wrong with taking at night? I assume not, since some people are taking it every 12 hours... obviously, you're sleeping during some of that time.

ETA: My roots do seem thicker than usual now! And my hooha hair is definitely growing in much thicker. I have seen more arm hair as well. I'm pretty excited. I definitely wanted length more than thickness, but I will take the thickness too.

 

[blessedandlucky]

davisbr88, i take it in the evenings and i think it's still working fine. i have more new growth than usual and can't wait to relax in a month. i can't wait to see where i am in 3 months!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I've always taken my Vitamins (in particular Hair Vits) at night/evenings, (after a meal) or right before bed.

Plan to purchase Nioxin this Weekend.

 

[davisbr88]

Yay! Well, I'm going to start taking mine at night then. Thanks for the responses, ladies!

 

[Janet']

Yes! davisbr88 I take all of my vitamins at night...No problems for me!

 

[blackbarbietea]

Sorry I took so long to post ladies. Here are the pics as promised sorry for the poor lighting in the second pic, I took it at night. These pics are 4 days apart..the first is from 4/18 the second from 4/22

I'm skeptical because my hair is longer on the right side, and shorter on the left.

Can you take a pic with the hair on the same side?

 

[iri9109]

davisbr88 i take mine at night before bed...i noticed clear skin in the morning too

 

[growinghealthyhair]

Eyebrows definitely WAYYYY Thicker. Ugh. Had to throw on my wig with bangs today, until i'm able to get to the mall to get them threaded!!

 

[cheryl26]

i've been taking nioxin now for 4 weeks from april 1st. i dyed my hair on mar 14th and i think my roots have grown out 2 inches but i trimmed my hair so i only have an inch on the length from my last post. i guess they worked? maybe added an extra 1/4in a month.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Purchased my Nioxin Today!

2 90 Ct. Bottles....Bring it On!

I will be rotating the Nioxin with Andrew Lessman Hair, Skin, Nails.

I got quite a shock at the doctors yesterday. The doctor said that my symptoms sound like lupus.

Lu-what???!!!

The symptom that had me running to the doctor was, ironically, my hair. Not the chronic fatigue, or muscle aches, or joint pain, not even the redness I thought was rosecea (butterfly rash) but my dramatic hair thinning.

Does anyone here know if nioxin would help lupus related hair loss?

 

[EbonyHairedPrincess]

i colored my hair 24 days ago so im gonna use my roots as a growth indicator...i measured my roots and they were almost .5 inch, so my growth rate now is pretty much average...i hope yall can see the demarcation between red and black at my roots, i tried to adjust the contrast to make it more obvious...i'll post update pics 5/11

4/11:





(my shirt was on inside out all day smh...atleast i had a cardigan over it lol)

the back comes to like .5 inch past my collarbone....i trimmed about .5 inch a couple weeks ago...i would be estatic to make APL by the end of the summer, but i have to see what the nioxin does before i move my goal up from the end of the year...oh and yall see my despicable nails (excuse the polish) so hopefully those improve too...after 3 months i'm probably gonna re-dye my hair and start charting the growth from my roots all over again

Your hair is beautiful. You are the first natural that actually made me . I got a relaxer on Thursday but for a split moment .....

 

[EbonyHairedPrincess]

Thought I was done with bandwagons.... Guess I thought wrong . I just ordered my Nioxin from Amazon for $19.99. Should have them in a few days. I already have fast growing hair so this is going to be off the charts. I think I will do the twice a day regimen.

Lets do the math :

1st six months of 2x a day @ $19.99 for 90 pills = 182 days @ 2 pills a day=364 pills or 4 bottles which is $79.96

2nd six months of 1 pill a day @ $19.99 for 90 pills = 182 @ 1 pill a day = 182 pills or 2 bottles which is $39.98

for a grand total of $119.94. Okay, I will get the Sedu next year

These pills betta work

 

[EbonyHairedPrincess]

Forgot about shipping. I really won't be getting that flat iron this year

I know JJamiah's sis has it (she's mentioned it in previous threads)...You may want to shoot her a pm and ask her...I'm not sure.

 

[Janet']

Just placed an order for the 90-day supply- even though I'm taking two a day so they are only lasting me 45 days...I haven't really noticed anything different, but wearing it curly makes it a little bit more difficult. I'm excited for all of you ladies getting awesome growth!

 

[Platinum]

I've been taking these vitamins for a few days now. I think it's too early to tell if they're giving me a growth spurt but I'm getting a tingling sensation/slightly itchy scalp. I hope that means that they're working.

 

[iri9109]

i want extra growth...im starting 2aday next week.

^^Those refer to Nioxin hair products - gel, shampoo, conditioner, etc. I agree with them. The Nioxin vitamin is the same as any other multi or hair vitamin.

ETA: Above post changed to reflect qs about the vitamin. Good info.

 

[CurlyMoo]

Anyone with updates now that a month has gone by?

 

[againstallodds]

For ladies who have experienced tender scalp while taking this vits, how soon did it set in? I'm 11 days in and just wondering if I should be expecting increased tenderness soon? I truly hope not. I'm all ready tender-headed, I hope Nioxin doesn't exacerbate the situation! If it did, I might haha.

 

[Janet']

againstallodds I have been taking the vits for over 30 days and I have not noticed this side effect...

 

[blackbarbietea]

I know there's gotta be ladies that have been using this for longer than a month. I need some straight hair comparison pics before I take the plunge.

 

[davisbr88]

Taking the vitamins at night has really helped. I wake up with nearly clear skin now, so I will definitely be continuing with this!
