From Frumpy to Full Beautiful Hair with Nioxin  #NIOXINChallenge

Having gone through several pregnancies, I’ve experienced pretty much every symptom you can think of. Morning sickness, leg cramps, constipation, backaches; you name it, I’ve had it! Through the years, several of my good friends and family members were pregnant at the same times as I was and we always compared what we were going through. For the most part we all experienced similar issues, weird cravings and sensitivity to smells. But the one thing that a few lucky ladies experienced that I wished for each pregnancy was thick, lustrous, shiny and fast growing hair!

Of course, I was the complete opposite. My hair actually got a little bit thinner and duller with each pregnancy and nothing helped. I tried all types of products and even home remedies to get my hair to grow back thicker and stronger but nothing seemed to work for me.

I may or may not have been sent to the couch to sleep one night because I had a mixture of mayo, avocado and egg yolks slathered on my head but I’m not going to confirm that. Come on, I need to preserve a little bit of dignity here.

I finally just gave up and begrudgingly accepted that my hair would never be as thick as it used to be. I started just throwing it in a ponytail or a bun every day because it was simple and it also disguised how thin my hair had become.

My husband and I were invited to a formal military event and I began to panic. My normal ponytail or messy bun just weren’t going to cut it for this special night. I grabbed my laptop and started Google-ing formal hairstyles to disguise thinning hair. There are lots of cool tricks out there to help make hair appear thicker and fuller. I opted for a pretty updo, with my hair piled on top of my head to cover my thinning crown and a halo of soft, bouncy curls. I really felt like a princess that night and never once felt self conscious about my thin, dry hair. I also realized something that I had never given much thought to before. I was far from the only one experiencing thinning hair, in fact, I couldn’t believe how common thinning hair is for men and women of all ages.

Like me, lots of women notice thinner hair after a pregnancy, but thinning hair in men and women can also be caused by things like medical problems,medications, genetics, stress and so many other factors. It can affect you no matter how old you are, even teens are going through this!

While Google-ing I found out about the #NIOXINChallenge.
NIOXIN is encouraging anyone with thinning hair to take this 30 day challenge and share their story. I’m not going to lie, at first I was like “uh, ok I don’t think so”. I wear my hair in exactly 2 different styles to cover up my thinning hair, I’m not going to share it with the world. But then, I started thinking and the more I thought about doing the challenge the more free I felt. I deserve to feel the wind in my hair just as much as anyone else right? Right!

 From Frumpy to Full Beautiful Hair with Nioxin #NioxinChallenge

Lucky me, I had the opportunity to take the #NIOXINChallenge and I am so glad I did! NIOXIN offers a variety of different kits depending on your needs.
You get System 1 through System 5; depending on your quiz results.

 From Frumpy to Full Beautiful Hair with Nioxin #NioxinChallenge
I received System 5, Night Density Rescue Treatment and Bodifying Foam. It’s totally easy to find the right NIOXIN System for you by visiting NIOXIN’s online consultation tool.

3 out of 4 people in the US are helped by NIOXIN’S 25 years of research and experience, as well as the advanced technologies used in their products.

Each system comes with a shampoo, conditioner and treatment and addresses 3 key factors: scalp and hair environment, the role of hair health, and the change of hair structure over time.
The System 5 kit that I received is designed for normal to thin-looking, medium to coarse, natural or chemically treated hair and it delivers smoothing control to hair while refreshing the scalp and restoring moisture balance.

I love the tingling sensation on my scalp when I use my System 5 kit. The Night Density Rescue Treatment is designed with something called NIOXYDINE24 technology and it’s clinically proven to promote hair density. It’s filled with things that are good for the hair like Biotin, Vitamin E and Caffeine. I use it every night and it smells amazing. The Bodifying Foam is part of the 3D styling range and it’s absolutely awesome. Definitely a keeper for me! The best part though, is when you start to see results; and with their

This is my before Picture, always in a ponytail or a bun because I hates how thin my hair was…
 From Frumpy to Full Beautiful Hair with Nioxin #NioxinChallenge

I noticed little things like less hair on my shirt, more natural shine, less of my scalp showing; and I knew it was working. In the past couple weeks I even started wearing my hair down every once in awhile. I feel more confident and I’m not constantly checking to see if my thin spots are showing. I also feel differently about thinning hair now. I realize I am not alone and that it’s more common than most people realize. After all, we are all doing things to try to hide it. But it’s nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. In fact, sharing what you are going through may help someone else who is experiencing the exact same thing and it will make you feel good to let it out.

I am very pleased with my results, the 30 Day Challenge really did make a difference, and I will definitely continue to use it.  Needless to say, I do Believe that I went From Frumpy to Full Beautiful Hair with Nioxin #NioxinChallenge

    Your hair is still quite beautiful even if you think it is thin. The great thing about being Latina is our hair is kind of naturally thick :)!

    Very nice!! I think a lot of people think about growing longer hair but not really thicker hair! I have thick hair naturally which is nice, but I think this product sounds great!!

    I’ve tried a lot of different things to get my hair to be thicker/stronger/longer. I even did hair vitamins. I may have tried nioxin before, but def going to give it another go!

    I’m loving the silk pillowcase idea! I think I’ve heard to do that years ago but forgot until I read this post! It’s supposed to be great for hair and face! Glad you feel like a princess again!

    I’ve not been pregnant but due to a medication I was on my hair lots half it’s fullness. I ended up chopping all of it off to help disguise it. I love love nixon products, they have really helped in bringing my hair back!

    I am always checking my hair for thinning areas and am very paranoid about it. I constantly think my hair is falling out but my husband says I have full hair and it is normal. I would like to try out the system and see the difference.

    Wow you have long beautiful hair. Does it have any warnings about using the product on color treated hair? I love that you can feel it working!

    I think your hair is gorgeous!!! I may have to give this system a try. I have noticed that my hair has gotten much thinner after having my children.

    I can totally relate to the thinning hair. It also seemed for me that with both of my pregnancies, I lost hair, shine, and have been left with a stringy dull mess. I’ll have to check out this challenge for sure!

    Your hair looks gorgeous! Although I am pretty faithful to my hair care favorites, I always like to change it up for a week or so every now and then because it’s good for my hair. I’ll have to check out Nioxin!!

My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
