Best Shampoos and Conditioners for Lupus Skin

In this post, we will be talking about the best shampoos and conditioners for lupus skin. Now, hair loss is a common problem that a lot of lupus patients have to deal with, and finding a product can be very difficult.

Our list contains products that have been recommended, used, and tested by people with lupus skin.

Note: there is no guarantee that hair loss products can work and everybody’s hair is different.

1. Nioxin System Kits

This is a system kit that a lot of people with lupus skin have recommended for hair loss or other hair problems. It contains a shampoo, conditioner, and scalp and hair treatment.

The system kits address two stages of hair thinning: light and progressed. Differentiating between the two is quite simple: if you have light thinning you will have more hair strands per square centimeter rather than when you have progressed thinning.

There are 6 different system kits and they give moisture depending on the type of hair you have:

  • Natural hair: System Kit 1 and System Kit 2 are formulated with light conditioning agents that provide light moisture.
  • Coloured hair:  System Kit 3 and System Kit 4 are created specifically to address coloured hair needs and deliver more moisture.
  • Chemically treated hair: System Kit 5 or System Kit 6 (depending on how advanced your thinning is). Both kits are formulated to deliver intense moisture to very dry and damaged hair.
