Research shows that roughly 50% of women1 will experience female-pattern hair loss (FPHL) between the ages of 50 and 65 years old. And yet, hair thinning is still a sensitive topic.

Always looking for ways to optimize my hair and scalp health, I began testing HigherDose’s Red Light Hat two months ago. The device looks just like a baseball cap but has 120 medical-grade LED bulbs hiding under the hood to increase hair density and promote new growth.

My boyfriend and I have both been wearing the hat for ten minutes per day for three months and we’re already seeing improvements—and you can grab it for 20% off in the brand’s sitewide Labor Day sale with code LDW20. Plus, the brand has a generous 90-day return window so you'll have three months to test it out.

Why we love the HigherDose Red Light Hat

I had been dying to get my hands on a red light hair growth device for years before I finally tried the HigherDose hat. Most hair growth hats have a funny looking helmet design and cost thousands of dollars, but the HigherDose hat has a stylish design that could easily pass as a trendy baseball cap.

In fact, you can even take the red light insert out if you do want to wear it as a regular hat. And while this hat is a fraction of the cost of other red light helmets, it packs the same impressive technology.

The 120 medical-grade LED bulbs emit 650 nm red light, which has been scientifically shown to increase hair density2 by stimulating tissue repair and regeneration, rejuvenating the hair follicle, and promoting hair growth3.

The most impressive results seem to come after four to six months, but my boyfriend and I both started seeing early signs of new growth within our first two months of using the hat. In the month since then, I’ve noticed my hair is shedding less and he’s seen a significant improvement in hair fullness.

A few more perks:

  • The battery is long-lasting: You’ll get at least 8 to 10 sessions per charge. The controller has a blinking light to indicate when you’re running low.
  • It’s super comfortable: The hat is lightweight and soft, and since this type of red light doesn't emit heat, your head won't feel hot or uncomfortable during your sessions.
  • It’s easy to use: You’ll only need to use the hat for 10 minutes per day, and it will automatically turn off once your treatment is complete. I love that I can wear it as I go about my day.

Plus, experts back the technology. Certified trichologist and founder of Advanced Trichology, William Gaunitz, FWTS, previously told mindbodygreen red light hair growth devices should have a wavelength between 635 nm and 670 nm, and the HigherDose hat falls right within that range at 650 nm.

No red light product is going to miraculously reverse significant balding, but Gaunitz agrees that the HigherDose Red Light Hat could be a positive hair growth stimulant for those with very minor diffuse hair loss or who are looking to grow thicker hair.

The takeaway

Red light treatments are no longer reserved for medical offices. The HigherDose Red Light Hat is made with FDA-cleared, medical-grade bulbs that promote fuller, thicker hair—and my early results are enough to keep me consistent. Grab the hat before it sells out, and don't forget to use code LDW20 for 20% off.
