There are six Nioxin systems, and they are all designed for individuals with different hair conditions and needs. Once you know their individual recommendations, you can then identify which one is perfect for your hair follicle type.
For example, you can’t use Nioxin system 1 if your hair has undergone treatment in the past and if you have a full head of hair with mild thinning, system 4 isn’t for you.
Let’s review each of the 6 Nioxin systems and see which hair conditions they are perfect for.
Nioxin System 1
System 1 is perfect for you if you have a full and virgin (previously untreated and uncolored) hair with only mild thinning. If you’ve only started noticing thinning in your hair and want to prevent any further progression, system 1 is for you.

- It maintains your hair volume and refreshes your scalp.
- It thickens your hair and increases the fullness of each strand.
- It protects your hair strands from breakage

Nioxin System 2
System 2 is a follow up to system 1. It’s for people who have virgin hair with progressive thinning. When you notice that your hair is no longer as full as it used to be, system 2 is the right treatment for you. Like with system 1, it’s for hair that’s uncolored and untreated.

Some of the benefits of Nioxin system 5 include:
- It is perfect for virgin hair with medium thinning in need of moisturization

Nioxin System 6

If your hair has medium to thick fullness with a coarse texture, system 6 is perfect for you. It moisturizes your hair and improves its thickness.

What if my hair doesn’t meet all the requirements?
If you have full hair that’s been treated, you may be tempted to reach for the system 1 bottle. But, you’re better off with system 3.
The fact that your hair has been coloured or treated means that systems 1 and 2 aren’t right for you. But don’t worry because system 3 will still work for you if your hair only has mild thinning.
