I want to share some information and my personal journey with hair loss, hair regrowth and my results of using the Currentbody LED Hair Growth Helmet after 12 weeks. It is absolutely the strangest-looking device I have in my arsenal and I feel like I am about to ride a starship when I put it on BUT it’s all for good reason and I’m going to talk you through EVERYTHING you need to know : red light therapy for hair loss, how LED helps with hair growth, the science behind it, how you use it, when you can see results and even why it looks like a space helmet! Let’s get into it…..

How LED and Red Light Therapy Helps With Hair Growth.

Using LED has been scientifically proven to improve your hair’s condition, stimulate hair growth, improve scalp health and the  density and thickness of your hair.

The Currentbody LED Hair Growth Helmet uses 2 wavelengths of red light : 660nm to stimulate the hair follicle & increasing hair growth and 620nm to improve the scalp health & condition to also support hair growth and hair health. These wavelengths of red light are clinically proven to energise hair follicles, reduce inflammation, lower DHT levels and improve scalp blood flow. 

By using this device your hair follicles are triggered to stay in the ‘hair growth phase’ also known as the ‘anagen phase’, improving the condition of the scalp and growing healthier, thicker and stronger hair. Not only will you see hair growth improving but this kind of treatment will also ensure hair loss is reduced as you are growing better quality and stronger hair!

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) explained : I briefly mentioned this above but I want to break it down so it’s easier to understand. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone that can shrink your hair follicles, shorten the hair growth cycle which results in hair loss. Using red light onto the scalp will reduce DHT levels and in turn, help hair regrowth.

Scalp Health & Hair Growth.

I have to put my hands up and say that scalp health has absolutely been on my radar but I’ve never actively done anything to treat my scalp or improve it. After doing research when I started my hair growth journey I have realised how fundamental it is to hair health, growth and reducing hair loss also. 

Red light boosts cellular regeneration and stimulates follicle strength. It also helps increase blood flow and stimulates cells in dormant hair follicles and reduces inflammation. When your scalp is more hydrated you will get less irritation, redness and flaking. Scalp health is absolutely vital to hair health and hair growth – which makes total sense, so start from the root and beyond to help your hair growth journey.

My personal hair loss journey:

I have had relatively thin hair all my life. In more recent times, since hitting my 40’s I have noticed it thinning even more and the hair loss/ shedding has significantly increased. I had a baby 2 years ago and the post partum hair loss was a lot more intense than with my first child. It also never seemed to grow back! I frequently had clumps and clumps of hair loss every time I washed my hair and the growth wasn’t replacing the loss.

My hair health and the way it looked was the worst it has been in my entire life and I knew it was time for a helping hand to see if I could do something about it. It had got to the point where I would frequently be using clip-in hair extensions to boost my hair’s thickness and volume and honestly, I feel so uncomfortable with how thin and awful my hair looked.

The Currentbody LED Hair Growth Helmet.

The Currentbody LED Hair Growth Helmet is an at-home and clinically proven hair regrowth device. It is completely safe to use, FDA cleared and has no downtime. You need to use it for just 10 minutes a day and will see visible results within 16 weeks and often sooner. Currentbody are so confident in this device that if you do not get the results you are wanting within the 16 weeks they have a money back guarantee. 

The hair helmet contains 120 bulbs which emit a spectrum of red light wavelengths from 620-660nm which  help reduce scalp inflammation, boost blood flow, and improve hair density and thickness. It’s clinically proven to increase hair count by 33 per cent in 16 weeks and hair growth rate by 128 per cent in 12 weeks.The device comes with a protective charging base, a USB charger and it is available in two sizes for a comfortable fit.

Yes, it looks like a space helmet BUT for good reason – this gives you a full head and scalp coverage and the lights are evenly distributed all over so there are no weak spots or areas on your head which won’t be treated. Some other hair growth devices are caps which are not covering the full head or scalp

The Currentbody Hair Growth Helmet comes in two sizes so you can get your perfect fit, it is also slightly adjustable to get it together by pushing up the headphones. It is really comfortable to wear, it looks like it may be heavy but it’s actually pretty light so no heavy feeling on your head or discomfort.

How to use the Currentbody Hair Growth Helmet :

Although it looks rather imposing, I promise you this is actually the easiest out of ANY of my devices (I have a lot) to use and I actually really enjoy using it and find it really easy to get into my routine. This is because you can literally just whack it on, it’s hands-free, there are no wires, it only takes 10 minutes and you can wear it whilst having your breakfast, doing the dishwasher, having your morning cuppa, checking your e-mails or anything else in between. ANYONE can squeeze this into their routine. It switches on by a button on the right ear and it automatically switches off after the 10 minutes is up. It has a countdown on the ear also if you want to see how much time is left.

It’s not painful at all, there is not downtime and you can just carry on with your day straight after. It is best applied when you have clean, dry hair without too much product in so that needs to be taken into consideration. I am not a daily hair washer and I do use product in my hair so the way I am working it is hair washes x 3 a week and using less product if possible to ensure there is no ‘barrier’ to the red light. 

The Currentbody LED Hair Growth Helmet has built in headphones which are actually really good! You can use this to easily connect to bluetooth and listen to music, connect it to your phone, listen to a podcast etc if you want. 

You should see results from 12 weeks but for best results you can use the hair growth helmet for 6 months and more.It charges fully in around 2.5 hours and this full charge tends to last me around 2 weeks. You also get a charging stand with USB with helmet to make storing it and charging it easy.

Hair Growth results after 12 weeks.

I have been using it for coming-up-to 12 weeks now, which is the benchmark for when you should see visible results with daily use. I actually noticed around week 6 that my hair loss/ shedding was slowing down. I no longer had clumps of hair coming out every hair wash which I have had for so many years. Yes, I still have hair that sheds which is absolutely normal, just not an excessive amount like before.

The condition of my scalp has absolutely improved – I don’t have itchiness or flakiness, something I have had on and off in varying degrees of severity over the years. I cannot SEE the condition of my scalp but it’s just something I can feel and I am no longer picking scabs (sorry TMI) on my scalp or feeling the need to scratch.

My hair has definitely grown more at the roots – as in, the ends are obviously still thin / damaged but the NEW hair growth close to my scalp is noticeable thicker and healthier. 100%. It almost feels a little odd as I can notice a lot more hair closer to my head and then it goes very thin towards the bottom – so to look at yes it looks a little odd but what I am going to do is go to a hairdresser in the next month or so to get it properly chopped (possibly quite short) to get rid of all the really thin longer bits that aren’t really doing much!

I would say with this hair growth device (as I say with any LED device!) that consistency is key and you need to really give it time to work. I feel it definitely kicked in around week 6 but now at around week 12 it’s noticeable. I am really pleased with my results so far and it’s also given me that boost I needed to keep persevering and using it daily. I think my goal is going to be 6 months of daily use before I have a break.

Seeing these before and after pictures has honestly really excited me as I knew it was doing something but seeing my hair side-by-side really reaffirms it is working and I have boosted my hair growth. This is also why I always say to anyone using these kind of devices is to ALWAYS take before photos so you can compare and see results. I am really excited to how my hair will be looking then and will absolutely update this post or do a further one with my 6 month results. 

Currentbody LED Hair Growth Helmet – FAQ’s

Can LED actually help with hair growth?

Yes, it has been clinically proven to work. Currentbody also have run independent clinical trials with the Hair Growth Helmet which have shown 123% increase in hair growth rate in 12 weeks and improving the scalp condition and hydration by 15%.

How Long until you can expect hair growth results?

I saw results (including less hair shedding /loss) from 6 weeks but Currentbody advise to wait 16 weeks to start see visible results. There is also a money-back guarantee if you have not had the results you wanted within this time.

How often do you need to use the Hair Growth Helmet?

To get the best results, you need to use it every day for 10 minutes. You will see visible results from 12 weeks but the longer you use it the more benefits you will see. I am going to use it for at least 6 months.

Does the Hair Growth Helmet hurt? 

No, there is abolsutely no pain, no discomfort and no downtime after using the Currentbody LED Hair Growth Helmet. There is a slight warming sensation and that is it.

Can both men and women use it?

Absolutely this is for everyone and anyone can benefit and see the results from this device. It comes in 2 sizes and the shape of the helmet it will fit all head shapes and sizes.

In summary, I would say if you are looking for a non-invasive, easy, at-home-treatment to kick your hair regrowth journey then this is for you. If you are perhaps like me, suffering from thinning hair, post partum hair loss that has never grown back, hair loss from stress, hair loss from ageing or even if you are more interested in improving your general scalp health and hair health : this is one to try maybe before more expensive and invasive methods….and that trip to Turkey!

As I have mentioned I will update this post when I am further along on my hair growth journey and I am feeling so positive about the growth and scalp health improvement I have seen in such a short time.
