The Complete Nioxin Buying Guide: Which System Is Right for Your Hair?

Nioxin has been the professional standard for scalp care and thinning hair solutions for over 35 years. Built on the principle that a healthy scalp environment is the foundation of healthy-looking hair, Nioxin's clinically-tested systems work in three steps — cleanse, optimize, and treat — to visibly thicken strands and revitalize the scalp.

The brand's signature 3D Actives technology targets three dimensions of thinning: diameter (thickness), density (fullness), and length. BioAMP technology amplifies the look of each strand while SPF 15 UV protection shields fragile hair from further damage. Each numbered System is formulated for a specific hair type and thinning level, ensuring you get targeted results.

At ProHair.ca, we carry the complete Nioxin professional lineup — from System 1 through 6, Scalp Recovery anti-dandruff, and 3D Intensive treatments — because we know that finding the right system makes all the difference for clients experiencing hair thinning.
