Since I started the routine, my hair and scalp have never looked or felt healthier.” “Mario and NIOXIN complement each other perfectly,” says Reuben Carranza, North America Leader, Wella, the Salon Division of P&G. “He embodies the NIOXIN consumer; someone who is educated on the issue and takes necessary steps to combat thinning. Because of the wide variety of concerns surrounding the topic, with Mario as the face of the brand we can help change perceptions, educate and empower the public to start having healthy conversations with their stylists.” SURPRISING SURVEY STATISTICS REVEAL SECRETS ABOUT MEN’S GROOMING HABITS Whether it’s long or short, smooth or rumbled, men want their hair to project their best self. According to a new survey commissioned by NIOXIN of American men ages 18+ by Wakefield Research, 77% of men would be willing to sacrifice something for an entire year in return for thicker, fuller hair, whether it’s avoiding alcohol or watching their favorite sport. How educated are men on the topic of thinning? While NIOXIN offers a comprehensive portfolio of treatments and care and styling products with guaranteed results for fuller, thicker looking hair, 59% of men surveyed are unaware of any effective solutions. 14% of men falsely believe that scalp health is unrelated to thinning and an overwhelming 75% are unaware that hair breakage leads to thinning. Throughout the year-long partnership, Lopez’s mission will be to educate and provide solutions for men on this widespread concern. Through broadcast appearances, media interviews and social media engagement, Lopez will reveal more staggering statistics from the survey which shed new light on men’s grooming hang-ups, their fears about aging and hair loss, specific style preferences, and expose hair loss myths and reveal the facts.
