LED Hair Growth Helmet

I had a major operation and sepsis back in August. As a result, my hair started falling out. It was an all over thinning of the hair and it was terrible. I purchased this to desperately try to help my poor scalp back to health. I’ve used it at least 5 times a week since I received it and I have lots of new growth all over my head. Hairline is coming down further than normal too! I’m really impressed because I was in poor shape after my ordeal and this was comfortable to use and certainly has helped. I’m going to continue with it because my scalp has never grown so much hair before! I’m impressed. One small issue - my hair sometimes gets caught down the sides of the ear pieces when I take it off, but I’ve resolved that by loosely tying my hair in a pony tail when removing.

It’s been 2 months since myself and my husband have been using the helmet and I can definitely see noticeable difference on my husband’s bald patch as it’s easier to see the difference. My hair is longer so not as easy to notice but can see the side areas have some extra baby hairs growing. The helmet itself is great but the earpieces are too bulky hence, makes the fitting too tight (head circumference is 54cm, recommended size was small). However, I had to opt for the bigger size and the team at CB were absolutely super helpful and exchanged it super quickly. Apart from that I do think that the design needs a few improvements:

-option to remove earpieces if helmet feels too tight.

-the time display should be at the front rather than the side so you can see it on the mirror.

-there should also be a battery life display as quite often in the middle of wearing the helmet, it turns itself off so you have to recharge it.

-longer battery life as it seems to only last about 4-5 times on a single charge. So I hope it will still keep working in a couple years time and not be like the phones in need of updated models etc.

-the stand for the helmet feels like absolute waste and has not much of a purpose. It could have acted as a charging station or money spent on it could be used for the points I’ve made above.

Overall, I can recommend the product as it does do what it promises. It is pricey but you get quality product and service.

I've been struggling with alopecia for the past ten years, and for the last four years, I've also dealt with Lichen Planopilaris (LPP), which meant no baby hair growth during that time. However, after starting to use the LED hair growth helmet in conjunction with topical hair products, I began to see baby hairs around the front of my hairline after about four months! I tried using the topicals alone in the past and it didn’t work but the combination works wonders!!

I'm not at the end of my 16 week stage yet, I'm only 9 weeks in but I believe there is an improvement. I can't feel it, my hair doesn't feel any thicker and I can't see it when looking in the mirror, but I have been faithfully taking photos every week and I'm sure I can see an . Obviously I will keep going to the end of the 16 weeks and hope that the results are so definitive that I will know for sure it's doing it's job. It does have some drawbacks, the helmet is quite heavy, although I'm getting used to the weight now. The lights are very bright, I wish there was an eye shield. I can wear shades with it on though which does help a little bit. Thje little plastic suckers inside are a bit annoying, I have curly hair and they always seem to get at least one hair tangled in then which gets pulled out when I remove the helmet. It's only 10 mins a day to use which is a plus as it's not very comfortable. At first the battery lasted a week after full charge, but 9 weeks in and I have to charge twice a week now. If not charged it just switches off while it's on your head. Charging is easy with a USB-C type cable that somes with the helmet, a flashing light indicates full charge. The timer auto-swicthes the helmet off in 10 mins, it has a timer on but it's on the outside of the right ear so I cannot see it when i'm wearing it. It has padded ear pieces inside and can connect to mobile phone by bluetooth. I will continue with the daily sessions and hope to see more…
