Does anyone know much about these two competitive tools that you would be willing to share with me?  Thanks.

Hairmax works!    I've had mine for about 4 years (whenever it first came out) but have no experience with IGrow - is that the complete head cap?  Is the cap approved by the FDA like Hairmax?    I have one area top back where I had sitches from a childhood accident and that's where I concentrate but use it on top also.  I do get lax and miss weeks at a time and then I get back to useing it when I can't feel stubble / new hair growth..  I highly recommend it.   Hope this helps!

I used the Hairmax religiously for the 6 weeks allowed. I have an area on the side of my head toward the front (probably hairline receeding) where I have litte hair. In 6 weeks, there was no hair growth at all. Didn't want to keep longer than I could return it. Maybe you need to use it longer but didn't want to take the chance. Hope this helps.

I use the hairmax and after about 3 1/2 months I saw results in the temples that had gaps in hair.  That was in January and now I can pull my hair up and back and there are no gaps in my hair that I have to try to cover.

I saw the Hairmax presentation today. Did they same something about a 180-day return period? 

 

The iGrow looks like it is less work, but it is also a lot more money. I'd start with the Hairmax.

I use hairmaxx and it does work for me.  I do forget a week, then go back and start in again.  I am 68, and had thick hair, and it has thinned, especially in front.  My hairline had receded back a bit, and I can see growth in those follicles.It does make your hair look thicker on top by lots of new hair growth.  I haven't used it long enough to see the new hair growth very long. 

 

I will say I hate using it.  I hate it!  You have to keep the arms up for 11 minutes, and I have long hair so I have to do it a special way.  I imagine if you have short hair , it would work faster, and better as the light bathes the scalp better

Thank you all for you helpful responses.  I saw the sale price on the Hairmax today and started thinking about it seriously.  The cap one is just too pricey for me.

@fthunt Hope you see this. I was given one by my sister who has a great head of hair but her daughter has these odd small bald spots hiding under her beautiful hair....it looks like she may have let her use it and as a young person she did not comply or found out it was not working..I think it was she didn't comply. My sis doesn't give things away to easy so I was SO happy she asked me if I wanted it! My hair is thin now due to stress and undoubtedly lack of hormones falls out and is thinning...I take Biotin gel caps 5.000 IU... I think it helps keep my hair growing back but far less hair over the past 4 years...more so the past year and and 1/2. Okay now....I just never use it daily  - I am non-compliant as well....holding it up tires my achy bad shoulder but an excuse most nights! and I can see why they invented this new IGrow head cap!

 

    @fthunt I was wondering which one you own? perhaps the one  I have now is older model..not sure but think so. I must ask my sis but she's always busy - mine is white and says Hairmax with a Lux 9 written on bottom left. I have no directions on how to use and did use many times but now it stops that loud noise after awhile...is that normal? not just a beep a noise. And if I click on something there's just the light no noise. Does one need that sound (not beep sound) to make sure it's working? I may go back to using it after reading these posts and you. Some didn't say it worked but reading you had + resultsI am hopeful and will comply! Thanks very much!
