Overview

People with colored, thinning hair get a scalp-focused cleanser from NIOXIN that clears sebum and residue from the follicles. Used daily, it leaves hair looking thicker and fuller while protecting color.

A cleaner scalp and fuller-looking hair is the reason to start this NIOXIN routine. It is gentle on color and works daily. The bullets describe the whole kit, so the biggest results assume the conditioner and treatment as well.

Who it's for

Colored or chemically treated hair showing progressed thinning is the target. Those with untreated hair or early thinning should look at the other NIOXIN systems.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Clears sebum and residue from scalp
  • Protects hair color
Cons
  • Bullets describe the whole kit
  • Full results need all three steps

Performance notes

Fullness comes partly from a clean scalp and partly from a lighter, swollen hair shaft after washing. Removing sebum and residue lets hair lift at the roots. Lathering for a minute gives the cleanser time to work.
