No as far as I know. You could call the company or write them and see if they have a product that could help you but the ones I use are only for thinning hair.

I do not know the answer to you question as I do not use this product for that result.

You may need to buy and use medicated shampoo specifically formulated for chronic itchy scalp. Nioxin Sytem shampoos/conditioners are formulated for men (or women) who are experiencing early stages of their hair thinning. I would suggest Neutrogena Hair Products or even african black soap. Good luck.

Although I purchased for thinning hair, I noticed that my normally cold weather dry scalp has not been dry so I'm assuming this helped with that too but I really can't say it will work for you, am just relating my experience.

Tryed it on my arms,legs and abdomen this gel has niacin in it. I did not realize it until I put it on and it started itching, I mean I was itching so bad I could not stand it. I ran for the shower and even after taking a shower it still had me itching. I know that this is a side effect of the niacin but for me I HATED the itching and burning. Dont know if it really works or not tossed the rest in the garbage. If you can stand the itching it may be for you for me it is a no go.

Nioxin is a great product and I highly recommend it. While it's advertised for thin/thinning hair, mine is not thinning out just fine. But I like the shampoo and conditioner. As for use with color treatment, note that Nioxin comes in various varieties, from Nioxin 1, to others, I think you should consider Nioxin 3 or 4 as those are for color treated hair. Best to just Google product or check reviews on Amazon. Nioxin 1 says not for color treated hair but like I said 3 or 4 probably would work well.

I use my regular styling products and my curling iron, etc. I normally put a small amount of Nioxin conditioner on the top of my head, rub in and then I use my regular conditioner on the ends, I do have longer hair, so it helps to de tangle and give it a smooth silky feel.

Ann, I feel your pain! I have many, many dollars tied up in products to which I have had a reaction. There is no way to know if you will be successful with this product. However, In will advise a visit to your dermatologist to ascertain the cause of your issue. I have allergies to fragrances and certain ingredients that are not contained in this product, so have had success in using it(along with dietary changes and discontinuance of other hair products)and will continue using this.

I purchased for scalp itching. After 2 uses it did not change but did notice my hair was frizzy and drier, even with conditionerI also have color treated hair. My purpose was not met so I discontinued. It had a great smell and tingling.

Yes it works. It works fast and I only use it very lightly once every 6-8 weeks (if that). My first week, I used it 3 times -Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then I didn't use it again for probably 3 weeks and then used it again only because I remembered. So during that time, no flakes, lot less itching. After that I opted to wait until I actually saw flakes or became itchy to use it again which was probably 2 months. Used it once and it took care of it again for another 8 weeks or so. Bottom line is it works. Doesn't stink. Doesn't weigh hair down. Don't have to use it often. For someone like me who had serious itching and dandruff (almost to point of scratching scars into my scalp), it was a miracle. BTW* I wash my hair 4 times per week (too much washing actually aggravates dandruff not to mention dry out your hair). Read up about how frequent you should wash, from the professionals and most will tell you every day washing is bad news. Believe me, your hair won't turn into a funky-gunky oily mess washing just 4 times per week.

I never had itchy scalp before using the product, so I don't know if it would help. Check out aveda.com for more info on the product.

Alot of shampoos even higher end have sulfates and who knows what else in them which can cause itchy scalp. These have none if that and I have had no issues like that but have with other shampoos. Many times I have found their products at Marshall's or TJMax. They have a leave in treatment I like as well.

I have lupus and get psoriasis on my scalp. I had the worst flare that I couldn't get rid off with the medicated shampoos. Tried the handmade no poo formulas but found this combination great for my scalp and hair! The tea tree helps with the dry scalp and itching, there is lavender to help heal the scalp, and other ingredients to keep the hair clean and nice! There is no residue and it does not make my shower slippery either. I only wash my hair twice a week now, and rinse my hair with water on other days if I need to.

Not this one, but Neutrogena does have a good dandruff shampoo called T-Gel that is great.

Hi there.. my son is the one using the product, hes 11 y/o, no problem so far,, I'm letting him use the shampoo once a wk, can be strong for your scalp, if you have any other major problems you may need a Dermatologist because can be something else like Psoriasis or a severe dermatitis, and some patients needs other medication, but no side effects at this moment good product so far ;)

My scalp could not take the Nioxin and I discontinued. I didn't find any noticeable improvement in my hair thickness while on the product. I have tried Avalon Biotin-B Complex Thickening Shampoo and now trying L'oreal's new thickening shampoo with conditioner and weekly treatments. The hair feels a little fuller with the new L'oreal.

Don't know. The packaging just says "New and Improved" but doesn't say what is new. Just a marketing eye catcher to make folks want to jump on the deal or keep people coming back to see what is new or different if they are repeat customers. Here is the number for NIOXIN that is on the box. call and ask them. 800-935-5273. I just know that my hair is not thicker or denser looking as they guaranteed and I've used it for over a year. Mind you, I realize it says "looking" and does not guarantee that you will grow more hair or that it will created thicker hair cuticle or shaft.

it says that it has tea tree oil in it but it doesn't say how much. i have dry scalp, so it itches really bad. every since i've been using this shampoo, my scalp has been itch free. so i would say that it got a good bit of tea tree oil in it since tea tree oil soothes itchy scalp. hope i could help.

I use system 3 (fine, thining hair). In my experience, YES the formula changed when Nioxin was sold and moved to Mexico. Most ingredience are the same, but not listed in the same order. (%of each is different). I didn't know this until I was looking to see why my hair was falling again. I bought all I could find "made in Georgia".
