I've been living with the consequences of trichotillomania, a hair-pulling disorder that's left me with bald patches and a sensitive scalp. For years, I tried every remedy under the sun to stop the urge to pull at my hair - but nothing seemed to work.
Then I stumbled upon HigherDose's Red Light Hat, which claims to improve scalp health and hair growth using red light therapy. I was skeptical at first, but desperate for a solution, so I decided to give it a try. After all, similar technology already exists for the face - what could be the harm in trying it on my scalp?
The idea is simple: by exposing the scalp to low-level laser or LED light, you increase blood flow and stimulate hair growth. It's not a cure-all, but HigherDose says that after 16 weeks of daily use, you might see an improvement in your hair's health.
I started wearing the hat for 10 minutes every day, as recommended by HigherDose. At first, I was nervous about how my scalp would react - after all, it had been sensitive and prone to breakouts for years. But to my surprise, I barely noticed any irritation or discomfort at all. In fact, my scalp started feeling healthier almost immediately.
Over the next few weeks, I took progress photos of my hair - and what I saw was astonishing. The patches where I used to pull at my hair were starting to fill in with new growth, and the texture of my hair looked smoother overall. It wasn't overnight, but after months of daily use, my scalp finally started to feel like itself again.
But did it really work? I asked my hairstylist, who's been watching over my hair for years, if she could notice any difference. Her answer was a resounding yes - not just that my scalp looked healthier, but also that the regrowth was stronger and more vibrant than usual.
I'm still waiting to see how long these benefits last - after all, it's only been six months of use so far. But for now, I'll take it - especially since trichotillomania has taken such a toll on my mental health over the years.
HigherDose claims that their hat uses FDA-cleared technology to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health. While that may not be an endorsement from me personally (I've been burned by false promises before), I will say that this device is remarkably well-made - it looks like a real baseball cap, with an easy-to-use strap in the back and even a cutout for ponytails.
One thing to keep in mind: this isn't a cure-all. HigherDose says that you'll need to use the hat at least three or four times a week after finishing the initial 16-week treatment to maintain its effects - which can add up if you're like me and have a busy schedule. But for now, I'm just happy to have found something that seems to be working.
For people with sensitive scalps like mine, this might be the perfect solution - a non-invasive way to improve hair growth without the hassle of expensive treatments or harsh chemicals. And who knows? Maybe it'll even help you break free from the cycle of trichotillomania like I did.
I've already ordered another hat, just in case. After all, when it comes to your scalp and hair - you never know what might be lurking around the corner.

higher dose does seem pretty legit tho, idk how they got it FDA cleared but props to u for being cautious 
She's been struggling with balding too. What I found interesting is that while it's not a magic solution, it does seem to work for people like her who've tried everything else. The fact that it's non-invasive and doesn't require any harsh chemicals is a major plus imo 
I mean, it's like your brain is playing this cruel trick on you, right? But hey, at least you found something that works and it's not just some pseudoscientific nonsense. The fact that the Red Light Hat actually improved your scalp health and hair growth is pretty cool, especially if you're someone who's tried everything else without success
