Hair max

Anyone buying and trying it? I am always so skeptical of the laser beams and the brain... I know it is FDA approved but still hesitant.

I bought the Hair Max Comb Nov 2018. I've had great results.

I have 2 - bought original one - 8 year ago ? - and am still here with no side effects.

Great success then back-slid for a year....now back using it and can feel the stubble re-growth.

My advice is to just get it. The longer you wait, the more of your hair will disappear forever. But if you start now then there is still a chance to re-awaken your dormant or weak hair follicles. Don't wait. I wish I would have started using a hair laser long before I did because then I would have more hair now. But at any rate it works really well for me.

I bought the 12 Comb back when it was a special, I have been using since mid Oct. and I am for sure seeing new growth - Just remember, like anything else once you start using it you will need to continue, if you stop using your fav. face cream your face will go back to the way it looked before, well you need to use this as directed and then once results have been acheived you will need to continue it 1-2 times a week to maintain. I am okay with that, as long as it means I can keep my hair.

Would love to get the band but I am doing easy pay on the comb, will stick with it and when it dies someday I will upgrade GOOD LUCK

@SilleeMee Just checked and my 12 Comb can be returned, in that window, in your opinion do you think it would be better to get the band and return the comb? 41 lights vs 12 plus the time commitment!

The only part I worry about is the band doesn't come all the way down by the ears... I like to get that side of my hair with the laser light as well.

@SandGirl

I understand your concerns for getting treatment on the sides of your head. I use my HM9 comb for exactly that reason. My Capillus cap doesn't reach the sides so I use the HM comb on the sides. It appears that the band does cover the sides pretty far down towards the ears. So you may not need a comb.

@SilleeMee I can't really afford / justify having both so I'm trying to decide if I should go with the band or just keep the comb I have now. Since I do my whole head it takes me over 20min each day I use it so I was thinking th band would save time but I want to be sure it's going to cover where I use my comb currently

@SandGirl

The comb is going to give you the most flexibility as far as where it can be used...which is all areas on your head. The band is limited to mostly the upper parts of your head and a little bit on the sides, but not completely down to the hair line (near the ears) there. So maybe you should just stick with your comb for now and maybe when your wallet is fatter then reconsider more options.

If I could use it and get positive results the cost would be totally irrelevant to me, it would be worth every penny. but, with keeping hair fibers in my scalp at all times, a product like this would prove non effective. I have no time to wash them out, do the laser and begin the fibers and styling process again on a daily basis.

Re: Hair max

Icegoddess — Wed, 01 Jan 2020 16:46:14 GMT

@Shelbelle how often do you wash? You don't use it every day. You use it 3X per week. I generaly wash Mon, Wed, Fri, & Sunday so I do it right after I wash each of those days except Sunday which works out great for me since I don't have the time on Sunday. I get it if you only wash once a week. That just wouldn't work for you then.

@Shelbelle You don't do it daily, the band only 3 times a week so you could do it right after your shower, it's only 3min? The comb takes a little more time so for me I can't do that in the morning on week days that I work so I do it at night but I don't use fibers but i do use hair products and hairspray but I'm careful not to get a ton on my scalp, so far it has not hindered results

I can totally relate to your situation because I did use fill-in powder for the longest time and it was a pita to apply and remove each time I used my laser comb. But I got through that phase and I kept telling myself "this will pass" and I won't be needing the fill-in powder any longer someday...and that turned out to be so true. @Shelbelle

@SilleeMee and anybody else that uses it, do you take it on vacation? Was wondering whether it would actually be a good thing to give it a break one week out of the year. I wouldn't want to pack it in my checked luggage (someone might steal it). And I'm not sure how much hassle it would be going through TSA, especially coming back. Apparently, Bozeman MT is a hotbed for terrorism. Must be since their TSA is quite "thorough".

I would think if you were going for a week and left it at home it would be fine but if I were going to 12-14 days I might bring it in my carry on...

If you stop using it for less than the recommended times, then shedding might occur. That's what HM says on their website FAQ page. @Icegoddess

Even 3 times a week is too time consuming for me with the entire process. I only wash my hair once a week due to how long it takes me with the styling and the fibers. I also keep Joan Rivers powder in my scalp at all times, works great on the top and it stays in all week. I am very grateful that with the fibers i am able to go out in public and to work and wear my own hair. Perhaps a transplant one day in the future. .

From the presentation I understand that this will not help if hair loss is from taking certain medications or thyroid issues. Is this right?

@Naturesbeauty I have a thyroid issue and have used it with success, but I never really felt like my thinning hair had anything to do with my thyroid. Eyebrow tails, yes, but not on my head. You can check their website for that information. I think it is mainly aimed at hair loss due to aging (male pattern baldness), but it also works for some medical conditions like @SilleeMee's scleroderma.
