it was good to know someone responded to my question and thank you so much.i bougth the whole thing of nioxin but didnt like the shampoo so should i go back to using it. i also bought the follicle booster do i need to use it. any information is so much appreciated.i am so glad to hear the coloring does not hurt my hair so i color just the roots or all the hair the beautician does the whole hair.

:-)My extremely thin hair was a serious problem for me most of my adult life and I was also diagnosed with "male pattern baldness" even thought I am female. It is an inherited gene from my father.
I began taking multi-vitamins and sinemet 25/100 about 3-4 years ago. Since that time my hair has thickened and turned a shade darker. I am 55 yrs old and do not have a single grey hair. When I see people that I have not seen in years, they often comment on how they notice that my hair has thickened and also gotten darker. An uncommon side effect of Sinemet ( usually used to treat parkinson's disease and restless let) is darkening of natural hair color. I think the combination of multi-vit and Sinimet are the factors that improved my thinning hair. Talk to your doctor.
I had visited many different doctors, dermetologists & internists who could only tell me that I had male pattern baldness. That all changed when I started taking my multi vitamins and Sinimet.
The hair change side effects of Sinimet are not in the common drug teaching sheets that the pharmacies had out.
It is located in the medication literature given to physicians and the PDR. Don't give up.....Try this, with your physicians approval if nothing else works. It worked for me.

I recommend coloring your hair with a demi permanent color. That is a no-lift deposit only color you can't go lighter than your own color only equal or darker. Wella Color Touch is a wonderful one, but you must go to a wella salon for that. Every salon will have their own brand. I encourage this because this treatment will be like conditioning your hair while it coats the hair and gives it the look and feel of being thicker. I have been licensed 30 years, and have also seen good results with nioxin, though the best candidates seem to be cancer survivors and bariatric surgery patients.
