I recently bought a new scalp treatment based on the recommendation of a friend. She had a badly damaged hairline and a bald spot in the area above one of her ears due to wearing braids too tight. She tried a couple of things (ORS Temple Balm, and something else that I can't remember the name of) before finally going to see a dermatologist. Her dermatologist gave her a scalp treatment called Nutri-Shock Advanced Leave-In Hair and Scalp Treatment. She's been using it for 3 weeks, and her hair line has noticeably improved. The bald spot has improved only a little bit. Hair is starting to come in, but you can still tell it's a bald spot.
Anyway, I saw the Nutri-Shock at Sally's the other day, and decided to give it a try since I'm out of Nioxin Follicle Booster. It's way too early to tell how it compares to Nioxin, but I do like it so far. Compared to Nioxin, it is a LOT more stimulating! The area I applied it to was rosy and still tingling an hour after applying it. It's got some interesting ingredients that are supposed to help increase blood circulation in the scalp so that the scalp "nutrients" penetrate better. One thing I don't like about it is that it has SD Alcohol. The pamphlet that comes with the product says that the alcohol is used as a "delivering agent" for the other ingredients. So far, I haven't found it drying, but it's too early to tell. The way the bottle's applicator is designed helps to minimize contact with the hair, though.
This may be worth a try for those of you who had no luck with Nioxin Follicle Booster or other scalp remedies. It costs $12.99 for 4oz. compared to about $20 for 1oz. of the Nioxin. I'm testing it on my right temple, which isn't too bad, but could be fuller, and the nape of my neck. I'll keep you posted on my progress to see if it really is better or at least as good as Nioxin Follicle Booster.
