    Wow sorry to hear that about your Dreadies. Nioxin is a shampoo and scalp tratment for thinning hair. You have to purchase it in a salon and it is a little bit pricey. I can't vouch for the product cause I never used it, but I know people who do use it. I would say just be gentle with the hair you do have and if there is any new hair growth you should crochet into your existing locks to make them stronger and if you hair is thinning the hair that is shed will shed into your locks making them thicker. Keep your scalp clean to prevent bacteria from attacking your hair roots and thus causing hair shedage. Also rosemary oil dilutted with water is a hairgrowth stimulant...You also can see a Doctor maybe they have some good tips for you or shampoos to try. Good Luck

    I can vouch for the Nioxin. Both I and my husband have used it. Get the scalp treatment product and don't use the shampoo or conditioner as it may loosen your dreadlocks as it did mine. If you go to my brand spanking new profile you can read my small novel detailing my and my husband's experiences with thinning hair and results with Nioxin.
