Those who own Hairmax Headband Question

Icegoddess · ‎03-19-2010

Not a question about effectiveness. Just wondering, for those of you who have owned it for 2 years or more, have you noticed a significant decrease in the length of time before it automatically turns off? I feel like my battery is dying. I keep it plugged in and only remove it to use it, and now can only get about 4 movements before it cuts off automatically. That's a huge disappointment for such an expensive device if you're expected to replace it every 2 to 3 years. Makes me think that maybe the more expensive Capillus is the way to go, assuming it doesn't have the same problem. @SilleeMee, have you had any issues with your Capillus battery, and how long have you owned it?

I've had my Capillus for over two years. No problems with the battery. Generally speaking Li-Ion batteries last about 4 to 5 years, sometimes less and sometimes more. Capillus guarantees theirs for one year or it's replaced at no charge.

I've had my HM-9 comb for many years. No problems with that either. Battery is not replaceable and I have no issues with it keeping a charge.

I would contact HM about your band. What you are describing sounds like something is wrong with it. I believe HM devices should last a very long time, not just 2 or 3 years.

Thanks, I will.

I have the headband for about 3 years. Still works, I don't use it like I should as i found Rogaine works better but i hate using Rogaine.

Question...how do you replace the battery? Contact the company and order one? Mine still works but I was wondering about how long the lights and battery hold up.

The battery cannot be replaced. HM says their batteries last 10-15 years. The lasers lights don't 'blow out' and never need replacing.
