Product Overview
- Target Hair / Scalp Type: Chemically treated or bleached hair with light thinning. That means hair that’s coloured, lightened, permed, or otherwise processed, and showing signs of thinning (less density, maybe more scalp visibility) but not severe loss.
- Kit Components: It’s a three-step regime containing:1. Cleanser Shampoo (300 ml) 2. Revitalizing / Scalp Therapy Conditioner (300 ml) 3. Scalp & Hair Leave‑In Treatment (100 ml)
- Purpose: The kit is meant to cleanse, condition, and treat hair/scalp to help: • Remove excess oil, sebum, environmental residues (that might clog follicles). • Restore moisture (since chemical treatment tends to dry hair). • Improve hair texture (making hair feel smoother, more manageable). • Help prevent breakage and reduce hair loss due to damage.
Key Features & Benefits
FeatureWhat it gives you / how it helpsRemoves follicle‑clogging residuesBy cleansing effectively, helps free follicles from buildup which may inhibit healthy hair growth. Lightweight conditioning despite chemical treatmentKeeps chemically treated hair hydrated but without weighing it down, helping preserve style and softness. Leave‑in treatment stepAdds ongoing protection / nourishment even between washes. Helps with scalp refreshment and preserving moisture. Color protectionSince the kit is for chemically treated hair, the formulas take into account that colour needs to be preserved (less fading, better vibrancy). Visible fullness / thicker lookUsers report hair looking fuller, more voluminous, less limp / flat especially after using all three steps.

Things to Watch Out For / Limitations
- The shampoo contains strong cleansing agents (including sulfates) which might be drying — especially if hair is already very fragile, extremely dry, or exposed to very harsh conditions. Using a good moisturizing mask or leave‑ins occasionally will help. parfym.se+1
- Chemical treatment means hair is more vulnerable; if damage is already severe (e.g. breakage, split ends, very porous), System 5 may improve appearance but may not fully “repair” all structural damage.
- Some users may experience scalp sensitivity—minty / cooling oils like peppermint often included, which can sting on sensitive scalp.
- The cost is relatively high, especially for the full loyalty kit. Evaluate whether the investment is worth it for your hair’s condition and whether you can maintain regular use.
- Color protection is included, but still, colour‑treated hair needs additional care (minimizing heat damage, UV protection, gentle handling).
Is it Right for You?
You’d likely benefit from System 5 if:
- Your hair is chemically treated (bleached, coloured, relaxed etc.).
- You notice light thinning — maybe less volume, some scalp visibility, but hair still growing well.
- You want a regimen that addresses cleansing, conditioning, and ongoing treatment rather than a single product.
- You can be consistent in using it (since regularity over time is essential).
If you have untreated natural hair, or very severe thinning / balding, or extremely damaged hair, one of the other Nioxin systems (or additional/stronger treatments) might suit you more.
