Fabulous thread. Merci bien ma soeur! I am in withdrawal from the product gerbil wheel. I am going to try to make my own Fruit Enzyme this weekend and go from there. I'll do a sea salt/olive oil scrub tonight for the interim. I am beyond excited about this. My hair is doing so much better after I prayed about it, and now this gold mine. I love this board. Bonjour @

So yesterday night I took a leap of faith and id a sea salt/olive oil exfoliating treatment. Left on for about 30 min, then massaged my scalp only with Head and Shoulders shampoos and rinsed. Ladies, I don't have microscope but my scalp looks and feels cleaner than ever. Even my sparse edge area looks moisturized. Will repeat when my scalp lets me know it needs love. Thank you again for this thread. You rock.

ouidad exfoliating hair and scalp treatment
I just used this for the first time and I like the results. My scalp is the color of my skin. I found that I have always this kinda white cast on my scalp that I thought was normal. I will continue to search for the this product and exfoliate at least once per month.

I just ordered the Nioxin Renew. My scalp is itchy and I despise it when I wash and lather several times and then when I scratch I still find buildup. I want a fresh start. I used Prime so it will be here Wed

I cannot wait to use the Nioxin. I've already been scratching and i just washed my hair on Sat. My scalp didn't feel quite clean even though I did 3 or 4 lathers with a pretty harsh shampoo.

I can't find it by itself on the site. Is there a link?

PSA: if you ordered the Nioxin Scalp Renew from Amazon from this seller
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00522PF60/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
you probably have a long expired product.
I phoned Nioxin and read the batch code and was told the batch I have was produced in 2011 and that the product has a 3 year shelf life. So its well out of that range now...
Use at your own risk. I'm still using mine
but I did get a refund from Amazon and they will alert the vendor.

I just received/used my bottle from that seller today. It should've tingled more, but if the active ingredients are expired it makes sense now. Thanks for the heads up. I won't repurchase from that seller.PSA: if you ordered the Nioxin Scalp Renew from Amazon from this seller

Have you used it before? Is it supposed to tingle? I just used mine a little while ago...
It seemed pretty effective at cleansing.

Yes. I have used it twice before. It tingles and burns a bit almost like a relaxer that is left on too long, but once I rinse it off it feels cool and refreshed. Today I only felt a slight tingle and that's only because I massaged it in for a minute. I hope it does something or I'm out of $10. This is why people don't trust Amazon for hair products

You're not out of $10!... I got a refund on mine and didn't have to send it back.Yes. I have used it twice before.

Call them and explain the situation and they should refund you. Make it clear that it's expired product.

Interestingly the product smelled almost identical to this stuff from Sally's, the Silk Elements Pre Cleanse...Yes. I have used it twice before.

I have that product too. I have also tried the Ion Scalp exfoliator, but that one was too grainy. It took forever to rinse out all the granules. Of all the ones I've tried, I like Nioxin the best. I filed a dispute online, but I will call them about it tomorrow.

The woman I spoke to suggested buying it at JcPenney or Ulta... I don't see that this product is available anywhere but places like Amazon HouseofBeauty etc though. Is it discontinued?

No, but it is an in salon treatment. We aren't supposed to be able to buy it and diy.

I just realized I'm going to be near a JcPenney today ( I'm never near a Penney lol) so I'll maybe stop into the salon and see if they carry it.
@Prettymetty do you know what the cost is of it as an in salon treatment?
and would I even be able to by it as a non stylist? where are people buying this product
and i mean fresh product.

@ShredsofDignity I'm not sure of the cost, but if there is a Sports Clips salon or Visible Changes they sell Nioxin. I bought some Nioxin scalp treatment from Sports Clips a couple months ago and it was fresh. If you go to the Nioxin website it'll find the nearest salon to your zip code.

If you follow @Nightingale's directions and add AHAs it's the same thing,
That's what I've been doing. Works great!

@Prettymetty @ShredsofDignity did you use the Nioxin Scalp Renew with the Density Restoration? Nioxin recommends using the density restoration for a month after the scalp renew treatment. Just curious to hear about your experiences before I purchase.

I used the Density Restoration for 2 weeks. It comes in a tiny bottle with a dropper. You will need 2 bottles in a month. I didn't notice a difference in growth or scalp health with the Density Restoration, but the exfoliator made my scalp feel great!
