There's a difference between a part that's quietly widened and a part that's now showing scalp in every light, not just the unforgiving bathroom one. System 2 is built for that second stage — same three-step logic as System 1, with more backup.
TL;DR: A three-step professional regimen — shampoo, conditioner and leave-on treatment — formulated for natural, untreated hair with progressed thinning. Niacinamide, biotin and caffeine work at the root, while the leave-on treatment adds UV protecting ingredients for the scalp and hair. Clinically and dermatologically tested. Use the full system at least three times a week.

Product Details and Benefits
- Shampoo (300ml): Gently cleanses the scalp, lifting away impurities and excess sebum that can clog hair follicles. A congested scalp undermines everything that follows, so this step does the unglamorous groundwork.
- Conditioner (300ml): Adds moisture and slip without flattening finer strands, helping build resilience so hair is better protected against breakage.
- Leave-on Treatment (100ml): The step that stays. Infused with nourishing ingredients, antioxidants and UV protecting ingredients, it nourishes and revitalises the scalp and improves its overall health and condition.
- UV protection at scalp level: The System 2 treatment carries UV protecting ingredients for both scalp and hair — a meaningful addition when there's less coverage overhead than there used to be.
- Niacinamide: A form of vitamin B3 that helps nourish the hair root and supports scalp health.
- Caffeine: Stimulates hair follicles, improves circulation and helps maintain the skin barrier.
- Peppermint oil and wild mint oil (Mentha Arvensis): The signature Nioxin tingle. Wild mint oil refreshes and invigorates the scalp and promotes circulation; peppermint oil can assist in regulating sebum and controlling oiliness.
- Biotin: Completes the root-strengthening blend alongside niacinamide and caffeine.
- Who it's for: Natural, untreated hair with progressed thinning — where the scalp has become visible. If thinning is still light, System 1 is the better starting point. For coloured, dry or damaged hair, System 3 (light thinning) or System 4 (progressed thinning) are the correct match. Anyone previously on the old System 6 should now be using System 4.
- Clinically and dermatologically tested, and designed to add thickness and fullness where thinning has progressed.
How to Use
- Cleanse. Apply the shampoo to the scalp and massage evenly. Rinse thoroughly.
- Condition. Work the conditioner from roots through to ends, then rinse thoroughly.
- Treat. Apply the treatment to scalp and hair, roots to ends. Do not rinse — leaving it on is the entire point.
- Repeat. Use the complete three-step system at least three times a week. All three steps, every time.
Pro tip: Since you're using the system three times a week rather than daily, choose which three. Line your treatment days up with your outdoor ones — the long beach day, the round of golf, the Saturday in the garden — so the UV protecting ingredients in the System 2 treatment are on your scalp when the sun actually is. A visible part gets a lot more sun than a dense one, and most people never think to plan for it.
