This 10-Minute Treatment Makes My Hair Look So Much Thicker & It's Currently 20% Off

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 with code BFCM in the brand’s sitewide Black Friday sale (the best markdown of the year!).

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 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.

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.
