Nioxin 2 is designed for damaged normal hair, aiming to care for healthy and elastic locks. The 3-piece set includes shampoo, conditioner, and treatment. What's really interesting is how you use them:
The shampoo is applied as we all know - massage it into your hair for about a minute. But the conditioner can actually be applied to the scalp too! You massage it in and then rinse. The treatment is even more unique - after towel-drying, you apply it mainly to the scalp and throughout the hair, and you don't even need to rinse it out!
Isn't that fascinating? I was skeptical at first, thinking 'What's this all about?!' But I decided to try it as directed for two weeks before sharing my review.
Using all products with a focus on the scalp, I noticed a significant cooling effect! The scent is reminiscent of toothpaste - not just a simple mint, but more like 'Wow, this is totally toothpaste!' It also lathers up nicely, making it easy to use. The whole hair-washing experience felt refreshingly cool and invigorating.
The idea of applying conditioner to the scalp was surprising, but it has a texture similar to regular treatments. When applied thoroughly, it really softened my hair.
The treatment comes in a spray bottle, similar to the Aromatica Rosemary Root Enhancer if you're familiar with that. You mainly spray it on the scalp and let it absorb.
After two weeks of use, I noticed less hair fall when brushing and fewer tangles. The cleansing power seems good too - when I wash in the morning, there's hardly any scalp odor the next day. I'm definitely considering repurchasing!
One downside is the small product size. The shampoo and conditioner are only 150ml each, which is much less than the standard 500ml. It's a bit disappointing, but everything else about the products is great.
