This thing grows hair?

LilacTree — Wed, 29 Jul 2015 16:58:41 GMT

What was that "thing" they were selling on last night's "Find" show? It's supposed to grow hair, but from the minute I saw it I couldn't stop laughing, and then when the vendor put it on his own head, I really lost it. I'm still laughing now as I write. I don't know how Shawn kept a straight face.

And get this, it was over $500!! It looked like an upside down stew pot with earmuffs and a red glow underneath it.

Did anyone else see this?

Check out the products shown on the show and you will see it.

It will probably wind up on YouTube!!

Well, you aroused my curiosity , Ford.....so I checked it out . It IS $545 but the s/h is only $3 ! It is also sold out and is only available on wait list.........5 years from now we'll be reading about recalls because some medical professional will decide that there is a possibility that the thing causes brain tumors.

What did PT Barnum say ? A sucker is born every minute ?

Any credibility they had went right out the window.

@LilacTree I read your headline and I thought you were going to post about a growth on your body that was sprouting hair!

Bwahahaha

That thing sold out? They must have brought in only five of them!! I'm sorry, it was late last night when it came on, but I laughed so hard (here all by myself) it woke me completely up. I wasn't even thinking about the health implications, but you are right about that also.

And there I was dreading the next My Pillow presentation!

You know Shawn, she must have been bursting inside!

Did you ever? OMG, I'm still giggling. Can you imagine what a standup comic could do with this?

This might work better- more coverage and the hair in your ears , eyebrows and eyelashes will grow too.. Only costs $1,000,000.00 and on easy pay..

It uses the same principle as the HairMax LaserComb, which has been clinically proven to regrow hair for some people. (It depends on the reason an individual is losing hair and how long it's been gone.)

Here's an article on it. They oriinally got the numbers wrong, so I've copied this piece from the correction at the bottom of the page, where they bury corrections: "A 26-week clinical study on the HairMax LaserComb published in April found an average increase of 17 hairs per square inch, or 14% over baseline, among subjects using the device. In addition, Marc R. Avram, an associate professor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York, conducted a small pilot study on the HairMax in his private Manhattan office. This feature incorrectly gave the percentage as 7% and said that Dr. Avram's study was conducted at Weill."

That doesn't mean THIS device will regrow hair, but it suggests that, as dumb as that thing looks, it may well regrow some hair for some people.

It is based on the same idea as the laser comb QVC sells. Rather than having to hold the comb and run it through your hair for 20 minutes....this cap you just wear. I do not have one, but think it is a great idea. It is just light....not going to cause cancer or tumors to whoever said that!
