I've been struggling with trichotillomania, or hair-pulling disorder, for two decades. A bad reaction to a cheap shampoo at 15 triggered it, and I've battled bald patches ever since. My scalp is super sensitive and prone to breakouts and itching, which makes me reach for my hair out of habit.
So, when I was offered the chance to try HigherDose's Red Light Hat, I jumped at it. The hat uses a single wavelength of light – 650 nanometers of red light – to increase blood circulation to the scalp, which can lead to decreased hair loss and optimized hair follicle function. Sounds too good to be true? Well, I've been using it for months, and while I wouldn't call myself cured, my sensitive scalp hasn't had any bad reactions.
In fact, I've noticed fewer itchy spots and a decrease in the urge to pull at my hair. My hairstylist has also commented on how much healthier-looking regrowth I'm getting, with no signs of damage from my pulling habit. It's not a magic fix, but it's a game-changer for someone like me who's struggled with this issue for so long.
The hat is basically like a normal baseball cap with 120 medical-grade LED bulbs arranged in a circle to deliver the light therapy. You wear it for 10 minutes a day for 16 weeks straight to see results, and HigherDose recommends using it at least three to four times a week to maintain the benefits after finishing the initial treatment.
One of the things I love about this hat is how discreet it is – you can barely tell it's lit up while I'm wearing it. The battery pack on the back is easy to remove, and there's even an adjustment strap in case you need to customize the fit. It's designed to be worn out in public without drawing attention.
Using the HigherDose hat also reminded me of using an infrared brush. Both help lock in moisture, but with different effects. My hair felt a bit oily after using the hat, which is something I've experienced when wearing infrared brushes. Still, it's nice to know that there are products out there that can tackle this issue.
The results are pretty impressive – just look at my before-and-after photos! As soon as I started using the HigherDose hat, my scalp seemed happier, and my hair began growing in healthier-looking regrowth sections. It's hard to say for certain whether the treatment itself is responsible for the growth or if it's just helping my scalp recover from years of damage, but either way, I'm thrilled with the results.
Of course, there are no guarantees with any product, and individual results may vary. But as someone with a sensitive scalp who's struggled with this issue for so long, I've been really happy with how HigherDose's Red Light Hat has helped me.
