Starting the 90 Day Nioxin Challenge

I am starting the Nioxin 90 Day Challenge.  I will do an additional post at the end of 90 days so you can see the before and after.

When you hear about women with thinning hair, you probably think of women who are older. I know that was my view — until a few years ago.

I wasn’t even 40 yet and my hair went through some changes I wasn’t excited about. I’ve always had thick hair. My mother used to say it was like trying to braid a horse’s tail. Then, after the birth of my second child in 2009, it began to fall out more than usual. I definitely noticed, the drain after each shower wouldn’t allow me to ignore it.

But, it was continuing to grow back so I thought, “No big deal”. Fast forward a few years and I realized it wasn’t growing back the same anymore, and I had thinning areas around my hair line. I tried to wear my hair down – to hide it – but, then I noticed the back was thinning as well. I remember standing in front of my bathroom mirror, the open window behind me, and realizing: there were gaps. I could see through my hair in places that I shouldn’t.

I’ve tried almost everything: styles that made it less obvious, cutting my hair shorter, growing it longer, oils, scalp scrubs, natural supplements, and more. So far, nothing has worked. Then Nioxin contacted me and asked if I’d like to try something different: a 90 Day Challenge to see if their Hair Regrowth Treatment could help.

Nioxin is 2% Minoxidil – the only ingredient clinically proven to effectively help hair regrowth in women. The Nioxin Advanced Thinning line is a complete range of treatment and hair care products specifically for advanced thinning hair. They offer everything from topical serums to cleanser and conditioner. I’ll be trying the topical solution.

There is no magic wand you can wave over your head and have your thick, lustrous hair back in a blink (no matter how much I wish for one). This is a 90 day challenge, so it’s going to take some time. The progress may be slower than I’d like, but if it can even halt my hair loss and/or thinning, then I’ll count it a success. Only time will tell, and I’ll be back in 90 days to share my results and update you on my progress.
