The ritual
Founded in 1987, the American brand Nioxin has been part of the giant Wella Professionals portfolio since 2008. It is one of the most famous brands in the world when it comes to thin hair. Since August, four systems have been available in the salons, making it possible to personalize the treatment for hair growth. The brand brings formulas focused on treating the scalp with what it needs most: menthol to give a feeling of freshness; percentage of glycolic acid that repairs damage caused by chemical procedures; niacinamide to nourish the hair follicle, stimulating it to enter the growth phase; caffeine to activate the local circulation and also a combination of substances that create a protective veil over the cuticle, preventing the loss of protein and increasing the diameter of the fiber.
Hairdressers are trained to make the diagnosis and apply the treatment only in the indicated cases. “We put together a complete education program to explain the hair cycles, the nutrition issue, the step-by-step of a wellness massage, the formulas for each program,” explains Maria Castan, global scientist. Outside, the brand is also a darling of dermatologists, who follow the philosophy created by Eva to maintain a partnership with hairstylists, an idea that can be copied here.

In such cases, the professional should recommend the consultation with a doctor and he will be able to work on those of thinning and difficulty in growth. “The ritual in the salon and home care products help women in various stages of life, from those with damaged locks and irritated scalp to those who experience episodes of hormonal fluctuation, such as menopause, and would even indicate to pregnant women how to prevent falling hair. after delivery, ”advises Maria.

It depends on each case, but the therapy with one of the four systems - the company first brought programs 3 (thin) and 5 (medium to thick), for chemically treated locks with little rarefaction, and 4 (thin) and 6 ( medium to thick), for those with visible thinning and little quantity; the other 1 and 2 (normal) will arrive by the end of the year - already showing more dense hair in a month. Scalp Renew, an exclusively professional product, must be used every 30 or 40 days.

The treatment causes a 5% increase in the diameter of each hair strand. "It seems little, but a higher increment would leave the fiber so full-bodied that it would look artificial, like a wig." It also turbines the capillary density (number of hairs per square centimeter), causing the appearance of 11,000 new fibers throughout the head.

According to Cassius Martins, from the salon that bears his name in Belém (PA), most clients complain that the hair does not grow because the strands are fragile and break. “Successive chemical procedures and the use of thermal tools weaken the fiber,” he says. In addition, people from Pará deal with the climate issue. "The relative humidity of the air in the Amazon is close to 90% and the thermometers reach 40ºC, all of which leverages problems in the scalp, compromising the healthy growth of the hair."

The treatment takes one month, with home care maintenance for another two.

And, because of that, in addition to feeling the scalp healthier and proving the increase in the quality of the hair, they are also less anxious ”, she reports.
