i experienced this too. it is weird. i ran out, and just haven't gone out to get anymore, and i am breaking out everywhere on my face. i didn't have a problem while taking it, but since i've been out, its horrible. :blush:
 
I'm noticing great growth. I am pretty sure it is combination of the protective styling (Hide Your Hair Challenge) and the Nioxin. I DC and retwist every two weeks and my twists seem to get longer and longer. My co-worker, who is also natural, just commented today on how fast my hair was growing. I'll try to edit later for some pics.
 
Ok I've been taking these vitamins for about 7 weeks now. I was initially taking 2 a day but for the past 3 weeks or so I haven't been as consistent. However, I think I'm getting great growth from Nioxin (in 7 weeks 1.25 inches). Like I said I will try these vitamins for 1 year...

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.

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 started april 8th...
 
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.
 
ladies i'm on Amazon and trying to find the cheapest 90 ct bottle thats also free shipping and on auto ship.

This msg popped up on the page that I was going to buy from. Does this mean that NONE of the vitamins being sold on the entire site is no good?


Item Under Review

While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)
We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

Also does anyone have Nioxin vits on Subscribe & Save (autoship)?

Interesting, Just last week my mom asked me if I had lost some weight and I said no since I'm not working out. Maybe I did loose weight.:ohwell:

@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.

Yaay I found them this morning, they must have fallen out of my purse at work, because they were sitting right here on the shelf where I put my purse every day. Im so glad I found them. I so knew that one of my two busy body little boys were the culprits responsible for the disappearance of my nioxin pills. lol
 
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:
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!

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...

WHAT!! This is B.S. yesssss hunnny I am PISSED!!! i inquired with costsell months ago and they said the pills were fine, so I continued to take them. Now I am down to about 6 pills and they say this! Wow, I better do a review on their arses! I saw the other thread about cracked pills today and stated, I should have asked Nioxin direct instead of costsell.


Phew - MyAngelEyes... got me off the ledge. Oh well. I don't know if the pills worked. I didn't keep track. My eye lashes seemed a little longer, so maybe its the pills.

Actually, that isn't the only reason they say that. Most companies in both pharmaceuticals and vitamins (my company made both) do not sell cracked or damaged pills for a number of reasons - efficacy of the product being one big concern. If you are happy with your results, great! But keep in mind, if you have problems Nioxin won't support the product.
 
okay wtf is this now and im finishing my first bottle this week plus i have another unopened bottle what kind of bs is this
 
I have used the vitamins (90 count from amazon.com) and experienced steady growth just taking the recommended dosage. I personally wouldn't double up because as with any vitamins, your body is going to absorb what it needs and then you'll just pee out the rest, essentially flushing your money down the toilet.:look:
 
So i just spoke to the rep from Nioxin just to make sure and low and behold this ish is like a ZXT diet pills part 2. so people really knock this product off smdh

The rep was nice enough to give me the number for the salon in my area where i can buy them
 
Kerryann so you're telling me im going to have to pay $46 to get the "real" thing. OMG I was wondering how we were able to get these for nearly less than half the price. Now it all makes since.
 
The rep said they can only be purchase at salons and that they dont do business with online sites smdh confirming what the previous poster said but i will be dam...

i called the company that i purchased mine with through amazon and told them what the rep said and thank you jesus the company is sending me a return slip and my money back plus supposedly investigate this further


im just going to order the dyam hairfinity and call it a day
 
I just poured about 40 tablets and checked them for cracks. I only found 7.

Who knows how many I took already out of the 90 day supply that were cracked!

I will be buying them from Ulta or Sally's from now on.

They have been working great for me!
