Great Stuff

Yes, it does tend to make your hair fell a bit stiff, the stuff acts kind of like moose or gel, if you just let it dry without combing it through, especially since its applied right after a shower, then it will stiffen your hair up, particularly if you have longer hair. For me, I enjoy this side effect because I refuse to use any moose/gel products and the Nioxin allows me to style my hair a little bit and give it substance. But the results are unquestionable...to me this is a very, very small price to pay for undeniably stronger hair. More than one stylist has noticed (I only have one right now). The amount of hair that has fallen in the shower has decreased like 80%. It is on the expensive side, but at least I know I have a top notch product. This does not grow hair back, unless you're young and early in the thinning process, you may see very slight growth I heard. But for me, it basically strengthened the hair I did have, gave it a thicker look, and completely stopped the thinning process. For growth, I actually use Rogaine extra strength in conjunction with Nioxin, and it has worked great. Note, however, Rogaine only works for people balding in the crown (top) of the head and have hereditary hair loss. I also use the Nioxin shampoo and conditioner which is highly recommended.
Nioxin 2 Leave-In Not Recommended

I've used both the Nioxin 1 and the Nioxin 2 leave-in scalp treatments. The Nioxin 2 makes your hair stiff and crunchy. It doesn't allow your hair to move and you can't run a brush or your hands through your hair once it has dried. Since it is so stiff, I'm afraid to touch it because it'll break off -- and this is a product that is supposed to stop hair loss and breakage. I used it only a few times, and reordered Nioxin 1, which doesn't leave your hair unmanageable.
