What does Nioxin System 2 Shampoo do?

Nioxin System 2 Shampoo gently cleanses the scalp and hair, helping remove impurities and excess sebum to support a healthy scalp environment. It is designed for natural, untreated hair with progressed thinning.

What are signs of progressed thinning?

Advanced thinning may become more noticeable over time. Signs can include a wider-looking part, increased scalp visibility, noticeably reduced hair density, and difficulty achieving fuller-looking styles.

Can I use System 2 on color-treated hair?

Nioxin System 2 is specifically formulated for natural, untreated hair with progressed thinning. If your hair is color-treated, highlighted, bleached, or chemically processed, we recommend System 4, which is designed for dry, damaged or color-treated hair with progressed thinning.
