Did anyone get their beard, mustache or chest hair yet??
Nope. But I don't see a remarkable difference on my head either.

WELL...... MY FACE IS DOING THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE ....IVE BEEN OFF OF MINE FOR 2 WEEKS NOW !!!!.....AND IM BREAKING OUT EVERYWHERE ON MY FACE , EVEN ON THE SIDE OF MY NOSTRILS, (CRAZY HUH) !!!!!!! TOMORROW IS PAY DAY ! IM STOPPINGBY JC PENNY'S GOING TO THE SALON AND PICK UP ANOTHER BOTTLE A.S.A.P AND STAY ON THEM erplexed
Long time no see~!
I decided to do a length check yesterday seeing as I straightened my hair anyway despite the hot weather. I was also curious to see if there was any "significant" growth now that I've hit a 3 month period. (Compare to my siggy pic dated 4/25/11.)
My sister took the shot & didn't warn me so,yeah, sorry about that hand. She wasn't looking to do a photoshoot, so this had to do.
I guess I should be a little impressed. The stripes on my shirt are 2 inches long & I cleared the entire white stripe that I was slightly touching back in May. But it's been 3 months..so that's like .75 of an inch per month. I don't know what my growth rate was before the Nioxin. Maybe it was the standard .5. I never took note before. I don't know if continued use will change anything in the growth department. I have ordered another bottle (#3 for me) & will go back to taking 1 every 12 hrs like I had started with. I know how to deal with the breakouts now, naturally.
But on a brighter note, this has seriously thickened my hair up. I had a huge problem with shedding & this has done the trick. Well, I'll see sometime in October if these pills are going to be long term. I'm aiming for 20 inches all around by the end of this year (My hair is in layers), which is just about waist length on me. I just need 5 inches, lol! We'll see, we'll see.
Please share any tips you have with dealing with break out...
I use clean and clear Benzol peroxide 10 %, because salycylic avoid was not strong enough. I take 2 (12hrs apart) super B complex) & this seems to be helping. I'm still breaking out but not as bad.
Hope this helps. I've ben on Nioxin since 4/18, my hair is thicker a's growing faster, but I had to trim. I'll post pics of the spots I used this to grow.

I went to the doctor & I got on the scale & I was 189, I was happy because just last month I was 199 I haven't been working out but I will say its the pills. Hair growth & weight lost from the pills is a keeper, & I guess the break-outs come along with it too.
@mEmYSELFaNDjGirl it must be something in the air. I just found mine in my sock drawer after not taking them for almost a week.
@virtuenow I have about 5-6 chin hairs & I'm having to pluck them all the time. Before I was only having to pluck about once a month. Thank God, no beard or chest hairs.
Alright, this pisses me off. I went on Nioxin's website and did a live chat. As it turns out - they say that yes if the pills are cracked, they are old and ineffective. I was 3 days outside of my return with Amazon BUT customer service authorized a return anyway, TG.
So I lost a month and now have to spend about $15 more for a guaranteed package of vitamins from a salon which are guaranteed by Nioxin. IF you order from Amazon, you will NOT be able to get any assistance from Nioxin as they do not authorize sales through ANY online vendors. Buyer beware!
mzteaze what salon did u end up ordering from? I must have olds pills because mine are cracked.
I'm out $50 grrr but I still want these vitamins sooo what's the scoop?

Hmm I ordered mine from Amazon, but they are not cracked, I wonder if that means mine are still ok? hmm...
@mEmYSELFaNDj which seller did you purchase from?
Here is potentially one reason I was not getting any results:
I ordered from the seller COSTSELL on Amazon only to find this out today - IF THE PILLS ARE CRACKED DESPITE THE DATE ON THE BOTTLE, THEY ARE OLD AND INEFFECTIVE. That information is according to Nioxin's customer service. They advised that I return the product for a refund and purchase only from an authorized dealer (i.e. a salon). Nioxin does NOT authorize resale to ANY online businesses at all.
Here is my other posting:
If your expiration date is good, then your pills are fine. a cracked tablet is just that-a cracked tablet. Still will do what ever it is supposed to do regardless. And of course Nioxin is going to say those cracked pills are ineffective....they want you to pay full price from THEM. Amazon pulled the bottles because of people complaining of cracked tablets. I plan to continue to take mine, as they have had no ill effect, and I have seen results. Ya'll can freak out if ya want to, LOL. Until the there is an official recall stating that these vitamins pose a health risk, I'm not gonna.
ETA, my bottles expire in late 2013...
