Step 3 is where the actual work happens — and it works the same way across every Nioxin system. The System 5 Scalp Treatment stays on the scalp between washes, targeting the follicle environment continuously rather than rinsing away after 60 seconds. Formulated for the specific needs of chemically treated medium to coarse hair with light thinning.
This is the step most people skip. It is also the step that determines whether the system delivers results. Apply daily, leave it in, be consistent. Visible improvement typically seen within 30 days.
