What the gurus are saying

Red light therapy in a full-scalp helmet shows consistent results for thicker, denser hair after 12 weeks of regular use, with gurus particularly noting the even LED distribution and two-wavelength design that targets inflammation and follicle stimulation. Most reviewers saw visible improvements in hair density and growth in sparse areas, though one dermatologist observed only subtle changes, possibly due to missed sessions and low irradiance. The helmet is bulky and expensive, so commitment to daily use and realistic expectations about gradual progress matter most.

"LED is absolutely fantastic for regeneration and this includes 120 LED lights in here which are going to seriously help to increase hair growth. They did an independent study at Current Body and those tests showed a 123% increase in hair growth after just 12 weeks and 10 minutes a day just absolutely phenomenal. My hairdresser has noticed, my mom has noticed, everybody gets a lot of comments on here saying how thick and full my hair looks."
Top Pick: hair growth device

"The third one's a whopper. This thing is heavy. This is the CurrentBody Skin LED Hair Growth Helmet. If you are hair challenged, if you're post-menopausal and you're having issues with thinning hair, then this would be a great one for you."

"Overall she called it a mixed bag, seeing positive changes but only subtle ones and less than she had hoped for, possibly because of missed days, the device's low irradiance, and a surgery and bout of Covid during the test period that could have caused extra shedding."
✓Yay
"When you use this as your third layer on top of the foundational treatments and the medical treatments, it's a really smart addition to your hair loss treatment regimen. [...] It actually fits comfortably on the scalp, you get full coverage from the LEDs, [...] and it has built-in Bluetooth speakers, which [...] makes it a lot easier to actually stick with. [...] For me, the Current Body helmet checks these boxes easily."

"It's a 10 minute treatment, it's lightweight, cordless and doesn't hurt at all. I've been using it for 7 months now and my hair colorist told me she saw a lot of hair growth throughout my head. [...] My after photos show more density, it's fuller, it's not so sparse, and it looks 100 times better in my opinion. [...] I'm very pleased with this. [...] It's an investment, but be consistent and use it as often as you can. Honestly, it does work."

"This is my year of hair growth and I really want to see if I can grow more hair, denser, fuller hair, growing hair in areas that are a little bit more sparse, and this is something that I've been very consistent with. Sometimes I'll use this with the mask and the neck and deck, I have it all going at the same time, and this is also a 10-minute treatment, but then sometimes I feel like it's a bit too much, so I'll use this at night time when I'm watching TV or something."

[...] I'm very lazy when it comes to my hair, so this is just perfect, I just plop it on for 10 minutes and away I go. [...] This is an investment, it is something to be consistent with and to have patience with, but I'm sure once we start to see those amazing results, none of us will want to stop using this."

"Unlike random viral gadgets, it's built around wavelengths actually studied in the literature, with 120 LEDs and full scalp coverage, which matters for even light distribution on diffuse thinning. CurrentBody publishes clinical testing showing improvements in shedding, hair density, and hair growth measurements after 12 weeks of consistent use."

"The only other thing I do very consistently is wear a red light helmet. There's very good data that red light therapy helps with androgenetic or female pattern hair loss, so I do it. I've been doing that for over [...] 5 years, including through pregnancy and breastfeeding. [...] I have both the iRestore helmet and the CurrentBody one. I just use whichever one is charged. They're both effective."

"This one from CurrentBody is fantastic. I have used other hair helmets in the past and they met the right specs but they just didn't fit my head as nicely as this one. You can see it has these little cushiony ear muffs that you can actually adjust up and down to get the right fit over your specific head. This also comes in two sizes. It also has 120 LED bulbs that are really evenly distributed."

"LED helmets do help thicken thinning hair. These helmets work by flooding your scalp with non-heat producing LEDs. The energy from these LEDs helps hair follicles enter a growth phase. [...] The CurrentBody LED hair growth helmet [...] uses two clinically proven wavelengths, 620 nm to calm surface inflammation and 660 nm to penetrate deeper, energizing hair follicles, increasing circulation, and stimulating growth. Most other helmets only use one wavelength."

"It is the LED hair growth helmet. [...] I have been using this device for about a year and a half, and I can honestly say I have new hair in areas that I've not treated with any other product. That's how I know this works, and this is the truth. Now, this is a very expensive product, but with my discount code, you get 20% off. That's about a savings of $150, which is huge in my opinion. I love this device, and I use it almost every day."

[...] I started to grow hair in areas that I didn't treat with any other product, which is really the back of my neck because I have other serums and I have LED products but I tend to only treat this part of my head, and I was finding new growth down here because this helmet hits everywhere."

"The first is their LED Hair Growth Helmet, which I use almost every day, and I can say 100% that I have seen such a difference in hair growth since I started this. Now I can say this definitively because I grew hair in areas that I didn't treat with any other product. I've consistently used serums and other LED devices, which I do think work, by the way, but this is the only one that reached the back of my head."

"The one that I'm actually using the most is by CurrentBody, it's called the LED Hair Regrowth Helmet. It's a full helmet with 120 LED lights that cover the entire head. The winner for me is that it's handsfree, so I'm usually on my computer or walking around looking like a crazy person. It's also wireless, so I don't have to worry about cords, but it actually gives full coverage all over the head. The real reason that I know that LED works is because of this device."

"The one from Current Body is very bulky. So, I'm not saying that that one isn't going to be effective. It is more affordable, but it is very very bulky. So, just keep that in mind. Like, it's quite large."

"When it comes to LED helmets, I do recommend the CurrentBody Skin LED Hair Growth Helmet because it is backed by clinical trials and science. First of all, it is FDA cleared, which means it's passed safety tests to be used at home. Can be used alone or to complement your current hair regrowth treatment, and it contains 122 red light LEDs to penetrate the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, encouraging thicker and healthier hair."
