| Hi, I ordered NISIM after reading through other people's posts on this forum, so I thought it would be only fair to come back and give my own report to help others. I have been using the shampoo for 32 days now, one wash per day (including a repeat shampoo for a full minute of massaging before the final rinse). I really like the look of my hair when I style it afterwards. It's much fuller to look at because it stands out away from my scalp a bit, so that means people aren't looking at my scalp through the hair. The fullness is not due to there being more hair, it's more because of the way my hair hangs because of the good cleaning it gets from NISIM shampoo. I have generally greasy hair and always had to wash my hair once a day. This shampoo has made the wash last longer in that the hair doesn't look greasy by the following morning before the next wash. Before I used NISIM, the hair definitely looked greasier each morning with more grease building up between the daily washes. The same amount of hair is being lost each day, however, so I guess thyroid hairloss doesn't reduce much by using the shampoo. I wasn't able to purchase the extract or the conditioner online from Amazon, as they came up with a message advising they were not permitted for sale to Ireland, which is where I live. The shampoo was no problem though, so I went ahead with only that part of the purchase. I bought the pump-style litre version of the shampoo for greasy hair and I'm very pleased with it as my standard shampoo now, even if it doesn't stop the shedding. Since my hair loss (chronic telogen effluvium) is caused by hypothyroidism and I've had it for over ten years, I wasn't really expecting it to stop just with a shampoo. However, the other effects of the shampoo make it worth while using. The pump action is handy. I find I need 3 to 4 pumps for the first shampooing, as it is hard to get it foaming first time round. When it comes to the second rinse, one pump of shampoo (about a large pea-sized amount) is more than enough to get a really foamy head of shampoo going. I agree with the person who said it is very matted after the shampoo. I have shoulder-length hair and this is a real problem. As I can't get the NISIM conditioner, I'm using Botanics from Boots after the shampoo and that lets me comb through easily enough before I rinse it out. I'd recommend combing while the conditioner is still in the hair. Also, comb the base of the hair first, then work your way up towards the scalp inch by inch. The other hassle is having to keep up the massaging for 1 minute and then rinsing and starting another minute of massaging. It seems to go on for ever, but I've started counting out the seconds by saying 'One thousand and one, one thousand and two...etc.' That way, it passes and you don't get tempted to wash it out more quickly. To sum up - If your hair loss is not too noticeable, but you could do with a shampoo that helps make it even less noticeable by giving it more body and having it stand away from your scalp, then I'd highly recommend using this shampoo. Also, if you have greasy hair, it's great for that too. For thyroid hairloss, I'm afraid it didn't reduce the hairs lost each day, but at least now I know that my hairloss is not DHA related hairloss and I've found a shampoo I like using.
