I have dealt with hair loss for years and have tried numerous other products and never saw that it made much difference . I bought this product after watching Angie's first review of it. I had never heard of it before. The Hairmax headband is very easy to use, and both me and my hairdresser are actually seeing a difference. I agree, it is expensive, but they do give a full refund if you’re not satisfied after 5 months. I was planning on returning it if I wasn’t getting results, but I am very satisfied and will continue using it. My hair truly looks and feels thicker.
Since I started using the Hairmax headband four years ago there are several other brands on the market now that may be just as good and possibly less money. However, I use the headband Angie used and it still works great. Just know, it takes several months to see results. Also, if you stop using it for an extended period of time, you will see hair loss again. So it’s a lifetime commitment, but I figure 90 seconds every other day I can handle. Hope this helps.
We've started HairMax together (mine is LaserComb (less expensive)). 👯 I must say... it is working! I did notice my scalp became more oily ...But that's okay....I much prefer an oily scalp than a bald one any day.😬
Im using it. I am totally seeing new growth sprouting up. My hair is all one length to my shoulders. At the part on each sides of my head, it was getting thin. I have these 2” hairs now spring up. New baby hairs.
My hair has been thinning for years. I tried minoxidil and my scalp got terribly itchy and I developed a rash on my head. Of course, that was the end of that. I’ve been using Irestore and I love it. I’ve been using it for about a year now and my hair has really thickened up. I couldn’t be happier. I think low-laser light therapy is the way to go for many of us.
I’m considering the iRestore! But I’m so confused with all the products seeming similar yet so different in terms of the Led lights bs number of laser diodes
Number one is use scalp massager ( Not a battery one ) get the nutrients up there ( Blood circulation ) if your a woman brush from the back of your neck with head downward like Polynesians do....( Distributes oils without pulling your hair out ) Use a hair/skin & nails combo as insurance. Do not use same shampoo every day causes build up/switch....minoxidil is short term and really not that effective,,,use for rest of your life...$$$ Cleansing the scalp with diluted apple cider vinegar works...ph scalp..again number one is circulation/massage.
I bought the Hairmax laser comb several years ago. It’s considerably cheaper than Angie’s ‘cap’ which they brought out around a year ago. I live in the UK and after seeing Angie’s video of the cap I went to look at it in Harrods. Personally I much prefer my comb. The cap is quite heave and if you don’t have the right shape head it won’t fit comfortably. The comb is better but takes about 12 minutes to use but you can specifically target the areas of thinning hair. It does work. My hair is thicker and in much better condition too..
Angie - thank you for your scientific approach! I got my HairMax 6 months ago after your first big review. I am also seeing results. You ALWAYS help me be my best self. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@AngieHotandFlashy I'm also having good luck with Aveda's Avanti line. I'm noticing considerably less hair coming out when I wash it - which is every other day. I figure that's half the battle. : P
Suggestion for how to compare before and after: Part your hair in the area of interest and take a close-up of your part. If your hair is thinning, the part will be come slightly wider, or thinner if you have new growth. The difference will be very small but at least objective. Just a thought.
This inspires me to use my 1st generation Hairmax. I am a former hairstylist and totally believe in the scientific evidence of this device. Mine is the older brush like version that had to be plugged in. But no matter it’s still so doable while I’m watching tv. The Hair Max not only helps with regrowrh it helps with the over all health of your hair. 😊
Hi, Angie, I see the difference in all of those photos. I am a menopausal woman...and I had noticed my hair thinning more and more. I decided to try the Nioxin Diamax Advance thickening treatment. It thicken my hair slightly at the hair line in the front.Then I started to notice baby hairs growing back, it must have been the massaging of my scale that did it. They say if you tip your head down and massage your scalp it will stimulate the hair to grow. I told my hair dressers, who was very sceptical. She said it may have been the hairs breaking after my colouring that I was seeing. I stopped colouring my hair about a year and half ago to let my greys come out. I got all my hair cut to a pixie style, I am a nice shade of salt and pepper.(The colour most young ladies are dying their hair...lol.) So when I go back for a trim, she will see that there are baby’s hairs growing there now and it’s not from breaking hair from the colour. I have been using the Nioxin that for about two years and have noticed it has made a difference for me. I have very fine thin hair and I will take any improvement big or small. Have a great day...🤗❤️ Newfoundland 🇨🇦
Based on your previous video I switched from the foam minoxidil to the liquid. I didn't realize the ingredients other than the minoxidil were so different between the foam and the liquid, and possibly problematic. I had a severe reaction to the alcohol that's in the liquid formulation. I actually LOST more hair. When I read up on the liquid, it states those who have reactions to this other formulation could lose hair, yikes! I know it's not your fault, it's my sensitivity. I'm just giving a heads up. Again as a follower of your journey, I have purchased the pricey HairMax Laserband 82. I find it easy to use. I like the fact that I don't have to concern myself with ingredients. It's quick to use. I think your results are noticeable enough for me to 'go for it.' Thanks for sharing...
@@puiwingng1920 try it...it can't hurt. Maybe you'll have better results. I didn't do it for a whole year and I think it takes that long to see results.
At first, I thought, holy cow! Then I realized I was looking at the after picture, thinking it was the before picture. Backing it up it to look again, I noticed that the before picture had more gray hair. The after had dark hair. In my own hair, the temples look a lot more full with the color on the hair than when the hair is white (my temples and around my face have snow white hair once grown out). If you see a difference though, that’s what matters.
Hi Angie! Are you still using this band? is it really worth it? I have read mixed reviews and curious if you still like it three years after your initial post. Thanks
Angie, thank you for your great efforts to make pics that are in the same light and cameras direction for both before/after. Unfortunately I don’t see any improvements but, in fact, see more hair loss. Like you said, what you feel yourself about your hair is what counts for you! But I won’t be purchasing this product like I was considering doing when you presented us with your annual results. Again, thank you for your time and effort and presenting this!
I know your video is a few yrs old, but it's super helpful. I don't have hair but now that I'm 53, I know I'm at an age where I will start seeing thinning of hair. So, I want to invest in this. I just started doing red light therapy and love it.
It did nothing to me. I used for 6 months. They sent it to me too. No results at all. I actually started losing hair and stopped immediately. The only one thing proven in medical studies that work is dermaroller and minoxidil and especially combined together is the best. This is where you really see the results. Thanks for the video love.
Gin Amber I bought this for my Mother & she used it for like 8months & no results at all. I was super disappointed, I was hoping it would work for her.
Dermaroller? Really? I also have alopecia androgenetica which gets even worse when you're menopausal (I currently take dutasteride " illegally": the Dermatologist foundation in my country refuses it to women despite the fact it works! There's one trichologist here that does prescribe it to women if you're willing to pay for it yourself and if you do not get pregnant (it can be harmful to Male embryos). I already had a monk's round on the back of my head, a widows peak and very broad separations. Some of that grew back in with these pills, even though it costs me a second hand car every year. Now that I'm menopausal my hair loss is getting worse again with whole hands full on my pillow and after/ during brushing and showering. You can see a bald spot in the back and my mid section is terrible. I always do a side separation on the same side (other side looks better but there you see too much of my skull already). Why the long intro. Well I used HairMaxx too. Their brush apparatus. It is the same as this thing only manually. After 7mths I still saw absolutely no result, whereas with Dutasteride (0.15mg by the way) the results were visible after 3 months and quite drastically too (after one month I also noticed a major difference in hair loss). I personally think this is a waste of money. It costed me almost €500. For that I could've had almost 2mths of pills - even though they work way way less now that my hormones are different.
Could you please explain to me what a dermaroller is (those thing with the little needles you can buy from Amazon? Or wish/Aliexpress?) How would that work then? What do I need to buy, what do I need to do? Please, can you tell me? I'm from Europe. In my other comment you can see why this is super important to me. I know one day I might have to wear a wig, but the longer I can still wear my own hair and look pretty the better! I already have 7 other illnesses making me look older than Angie and less fresh while I'm only 41yo due to pain, lack of sleep, hardship, skin symptoms etc., so ANY tip that helps: I'm game! Thanks!
I bought the smaller and cheaper hairmax band 3 months ago. I was already getting results from Minoxidil. I am using both. The jury is out on my results. Since there is a 180 day return on it, there is time to decide on whether to keep it.
I bought the Hair Max laser brush about two years ago. My hair would never grow at the back of my head to the same length as the surrounding hair. Since using the laser brush, that area of my hair did grow to the length of the surrounding hair. I will say, if there’s hair in the follicle
Yes, it looks almost DOUBLE THe THICKNESS! My brother in law, uses this, his wife was very skeptical, but recently, she said, shes Very surprised, his hair is actually Thicker using it! 👍
I have massive post surgery hair loss, I've lost about half my hair now and it really, really sucks. They have minoxidil in pill form and I just got a perscription for it, it's has shown good results in studies and is easier to take every day.. I've also started taking Super B complex, zinc and extra biotin, those are helping too. Be sure and get your protein in whether it's beans, meat or a protein drink, it's very important as your hair needs that to grow. My Doc also said to ditch the ponytail, it just makes the hair loss worse.
Number one is use scalp massager ( Not a battery one ) get the nutrients up there ( Blood circulation ) if your a woman brush from the back of your neck with head downward like Polynesians do....( Distributes oils without pulling your hair out ) Use a hair/skin & nails combo as insurance. Do not use same shampoo every day causes build up/switch....minoxidil is short term and really not that effective,,,use for rest of your life...$$$ Cleansing the scalp with diluted apple cider vinegar works...ph scalp..again number one is circulation/massage.
It looks like less hair in the after. Try minoxidil foam. It has stopped my hair loss. I only put in specific places and stop using it once a week, after my Saturday hair salon blow out.
Interesting product and thank you for sharing. There's a slight improvement and most likely it will be more impressive overtime, However, I find the price point is very high for the results shown after a year. I think would pas on this one.
The price is $799 USD. It is just my opinion that the results shown do not merit the cost. However, if I had purchased it, I would definitely keep using it and not let it waste away in the closet. :)@David S.
I use a large red LED bulb from Rubylux that I got on Amazon for around $30. The plug-in cord I use with it was about $10. I just part my hair and do one section at a time on the top of my hair and temples. It takes me about 5 minutes total. My hair had thinned a bit from a thyroid issue but it's better now.
Chartreuse Closet so you believe the bulb is helping you? My hair has gotten so thin right in the part in the middle where my hairline is. I would love to get new hair growing there.
@@julieevans2387 yes I do think the led light helps with hair growth. another affordable product I use is the "Multi Peptide Serum for Hair Density" from The Ordinary. Peptides are the active ingredient in lash and brow growth serums like Latisse. You massage the serum into your scalp before bed. It's great. And getting my ferritin levels up with iron supplements has helped as well, my dermatologist told me that ferritin needs to be at least 70 for good hair growth (mine was 20 when I was tested) so check those levels!
You have to keep in mind that as you combat balding, you’re gonna see hair-loss as you use these products. Hair will grow back depending on how much the hair loss is counter acting your products
The legs and underarms hair loss is awesome...I cant see them anyhow. Im fortunate to still have a full head of thick hair that grows 1 inch a month. I only have one stray 'cat whisker, hair on the side of my face at the jawline. It can grow an inch almost overnight. I took Esteadiol x 12 yrs post hysterectomy. I wish I had kept taking it. That cat whisker hair is from the teeny bit of testosterone still floating around in my body.
I started using minoxidil on my eyebrows, along with rapid lash, and saw great results. I decided to use it on my temple area and hairline to help with thinning. My hair is white completely around my hairline in front and the minoxidil turned it golden due to the oxidation of retinol in the product. This doesn’t wash out. I just got it cut out from Timeless citric acid serum I was using on my face. This also discolored my fingernails. So I bought a hairmax 9 to see how well a laser works before upgrading to a more expensive device. Just started, so we’ll wait and see.
Please give an update. Are you still using this device? Please advise as I am interested in buying one asap. Thanks for all you do. Your channel has changed my life (not an exaggeration) ❤️
Angie, I thought for a while now that your hair was looking thicker all over. I was wondering if it was the hair max. Glad you did the review. I have one but just didn’t commit. to it.. Think I will get out and start again. Thanks.
Minoxidil (Regaine women’s 5%foam) worked for me. Took ages to kick in but now I have growth that has filled out my hairline. Takes less than a minute everynight. I rinse a bit in the morning before I style and go. 💋
Lipstick Konniption I tried minoxidil a few years ago and I’m struggling to remember why I stopped. The only thing I can think of is that back then my hair needed washing every day and I think the directions were to apply to a dry scalp, which was impossible for me given that I was washing my hair every morning. Would you be able to explain further what you mean by ‘rinsing in’. My hair loss has continued and I’m considering trying minoxidil again but I’m not sure what you meant by this. Thank you.
I wonder if the first pictures on the right side of Before and After may be reversed, because it looks like you have less hair in the After. All of the other side looks like you have more hair.
Having thyroid issues this has made a huge difference 4 me. Hate Nioxin but still using the foam every other day. Wondering if I dare quit.... I am also trying to control my thyroid w/ a doctor. On their site, they claim w/ a controlled thyroid it will help. Well it has me, drastically so I occasionally praise you for recommending & testing this. xoxo
It’s a bit pricey but try the Sisley Hair Ritual line. I’ve had amazing results in a short time. Easy to use in your routine and hair scalp feel and look amazing! ....for the price it should give results!
Thanks for your timely reviews! I’m experiencing similar hair thinning and though I cannot purchase this item (or the cheaper models) at this moment, I certainly look forward to getting it in the future when my financials get better!
Hi Angie. I have to say I really think you mixed up the b4 and after pics, idk I could be wrong, but I saw another say you had more hair b4 the pics and I noticed that as well and truly believe it was a small mixup 🤷🏼♀️
Your hair has looked really good lately Angie! The lighter blonde highlights really flatter you. I've been using collagen (alternating powder and tablets) AM & PM on an empty stomach with some vit C since January and have noticed a bunch of new baby hairs coming in. My hairdresser commented on it too. Maybe a coincidence but I feel it's helping my skin too, so will continue. Time will reveal all!
Call me ignorant, but I did not even know that a thing like that for the hair existed..! You know what I like about you?? Your honesty about products and the funny faces when you make a mistake in front of the camera (which is not too often), but you act spontaneously and that is a genuine reaction, not rehearsaled.😘
Angie what is the rationale behind the laser stimulation of hair growth please? Would you ask the manufacturer and let us know please? I have found that 1 teaspoon of Nettle seeds twice daily 15mins before meals And Nettle leaf powder added to hair treatment and left one for an hour or more then washed out weekly has really improved the thickness health shine & luster of my hair It was looking thin limp and lackluster a year ago Still interested in anything else that make it even better :)
Hello Angie I am battling with hairloss for 24 years.. I was introduced to Minoxidil 22 years ago by dr Alexander in Bedfordview South Africa where I consulted and order 11% strength Minoxidil from. I will never be able to go off it as excessive hairfall starts almost immediately. As I am on a maintenance programme I use it only the evenings before I wash my hair. It therefore never looks greasy.. Plse try again as he believes that 5% will be good enough for a 12yr old child only Love Elmarie
Elmarie Fourie, can you give directions as to how you apply it? Do you apply and leave on for a certain period of time, and then wash out? and then is it daily? Also, this may be redundant, and I'm sorry if it is, but have you had your hormones evaluated-it could be the cause and quite common. Thank you!
Hi there I apply it on dry scalp the evening before washing my hair. When I had extreme hairloss I did it every evening but am now only on a maintenance programme . I leave it on till the next morning and then only wash it off. Once a year I do a monthly programme on the scalp of pure caffeine , B-solution combined with the Minoxidil 11% just to give it a boost. My sister has hormonal hairloss but I do get tested in every way by an endocrinologist every 2nd year as I am over 50 and have absolutely no hormonal problems. My hairloss is stress and auto immune related . My Docter do video calls at a consultation charge and also courier his product internationally.
Minoxidil made me hair fall out more, plus it left it feeling gross. I read that it does that before it stops and starts to grow more in, but I didn’t want to take the chance, plus I hated the feeling of it in my hair. I bought the lasermax comb, and while it takes longer per session than the band, I definitely think it’s working for my hair. The thinning at the temples hasn’t really gotten better, but my overall thinning has slowed; I have much much less hair fallout when I wash my hair now, I’ve only had it about 5 months, so it’s still hard to tell, but overall I, pleased. I bought mine new off eBay, it was cheaper than buying direct!
Please feel free to show us any similar type products that are more reasonably priced but just as effective. Price seems a bit high. Thakn you for sharing the product and your results with us.
Angie, do you think that the hairs at your temple have gotten longer, so it may not have filled in more, but the added long hairs make your hair feel better overall?
I see a marked improvement in your hair growth. It was easy to see! Minoxodil- I could taste it in my sinus when applied to my temples. It stops working if I stop using it. I dont want to use minoxidil forever! I dont thinks that's good. I am looking to amboy this laser band - front and temples are thinning. I hope it works for me. They have cheaper alternatives (less actual lasers). Dies that matter? They look like LED lights. I wonder - is LED therapy a good thing for hair growth/scalp health. Thanks for your honest review!
Hi Angie, always love your videos and really appreciate your honesty! I’m wondering if when you use this device do you also use the shampoo, conditioner, vitamins and serum they promote as well or the device alone. I’ve been using the iRestore helmet and all the “extras” for a few months now and can see some improvement but not enough to not think about returning it for a refund. I can still use it for a few more months. The thing I’m wondering is do you prefer this device over the iRestore purely because it is somewhat cumbersome or do you have other reasons. I’m thinking it’s going to be difficult to travel with as I do travel a lot! I’m looking forward to your reply! Cheers!
Thanks for your video .I still have the same model and i am just starting to use it again. Same as you Minoxidil feels awful and it irritates my scalp makes it itchy .So i discontinued use happily .But i went another way and started needling once a week and using the Hairmax 3 times and together my hair took off and clearly thickened up over around 4 months Didnt even use any special shampoos .Needling is a bit painful but it seems effective.There was even a hair growing about a centimeter down from where i needled on my forehead .All on its own growing away since i started both protocols ..
Hello! Thank you for doing such in-depth reviews... Thank you for all the research you put into the red light products for your face. I have similar questions for the red light products for your hair... I am confused as to why, the professional iRestore only has 82 laser diodes and 200 Led lights... It makes the over all number look good.... But all the other devices far exceed the number of Laser Diodes and have no Led Lights. In my research only the Laser Diodes improve the hair condition, and not Led lights... An I correct? Why then would a product with so many Led lights and so few laser Diodes be considered so highly? What am I missing? These devices are expensive and I don’t want to waste my money when I could buy a device with more laser diodes... Am I missing a positive of having more Led Lights along with just a few laser diodes??
As I understand red light & hair growth, only laser lights work and LEDs don't. That's why I recommend the HairMax which uses only laser lights. But if you compare the 2 devices, they both have 82 laser lights.
Uhm...I don’t see the difference in the pics.. I haven’t seen the previous video but a mention of the cost would have been useful...it’s definitely too pricey
did you lose hairs first before they grew out when you used this device because some brands said people suppose to lose hairs first before new ones come out ? Thanks for your video.
Hi Angie, in one of your videos you talked about a Neutrogena product that you are cleansing with now that the Cerve is burning your skin. What was that product please?
There is no difference in number of hairs but that is a good thing though...after 1 year you did not lose any and the quality of the bulbs follicles benith the skin are MAYBE healthier ? Making the hair stronger ?
This is really good to see. I was gifted the laser comb but had yet to use it because when you have curly hair using anything with teeth on a regular basis actually means styling your hair more often which can be counterproductive. I might see if I can lift and place the comb rather than push and slide it. Thank you! PS - has anyone tried derma-stamping for hair growth?
Thank you for doing this follow up video, Angie! I'm using the Costco cap since xmas, plus the melatonin cream $10 amazon, and biotin. My hairdresser says he sees baby hairs, so, I'm hoping something is working.
Janice G - Awesome to hear you are seeing results. Which Biotin are you using? I have been using standard Biotin from Nature Made 5,000mg per day dose and have been doing so since November and my hair is growing faster, getting thicker from new growth, feels and looks healthier. My hair stylist and I have both seen a difference in my hair growth rate, new growth (baby hairs) and thickness. Unfortunately, my last stylist was in a hurry to finish up my service in November (at a large retail store with Salon services) and they were close to closing for the night. Color service took longer and I really wish she would have asked me to come back to do my cut instead of rushing because it was close to closing time and store managers get unhappy if a stylist is holding up closing. She got flustered from the side eye and snippy look from the manager (yes, I saw the exchange), and got anxious and stressed and lost her focus. Instead of bringing up the back to even out the length and continue to allow my front and sides to grow as we had been doing, she cut my front, left the back, face framed me and cut four inches off my bangs and sides - six months of growth out the window. We had a set standard of how my hair was to be trimmed and nothing more until the length grew out enough to do the cut we patiently waited for my hair to grow into. At $400 per touch up for color (basically a full refresh every four weeks) since she only used gloss (reds, browns, and my blonde), it was getting cost prohibitive and with the dark colors I noticed grey coming in and it was not covered after full service and the mistake with my cut (it will grow back and we did not discuss grey cover-up) huh, are you crazy, who pays $400 to walk out with greys showing everywhere she did not know existed, and you don't think this should be addressed or even mention, hey your root line is showing do you want to do x or wait) (it will grow back and we did not discuss roots against dark colors is the wrong response). I am easy, same colors, same deal with cut, show up on time, just do your thing, and make sure it looks great. I brought my sister, niece and other clients to her. She lost me and my sister, my niece still goes for a cut. Shame she is talented but common sense should prevail here. So glad you are seeing good results 🌷
Pics show basically the same density overall. If there is any change it's certainly not enough to warrant continued use of that thing every other day of your life.
If your shampoo is too stripping, try switching to something paraben-free and silicone-free. Don't know if your hair is curly and/or wavy, but Shea Moisture is very affordable and offers lots of shampoos/conditioners, etc., for those hair types.
@@loveforeignaccents thank you sweetie! I actually like stripping ones bc I work out very hard daily, sweat so much and hair gets stinky so I need to wash my hair daily. So minoxidil balances it out by adding oiliness :)
@@sawamichelle the person above doesn't know what they are talking about. Silicones are not detergents and they do not strip your hair. Parabens are preservatives that were falsely linked to cancer and do zero harm to skin and hair. As for your workouts, even the most gentle shampoo will get your hair clean from sweat! Sulphates etc are only needed for people, who use products that build up on hair - silicones, waxes, mineral oils. Don't switch to Shea Moisture if you use such products, or you'll experience terrible buildup, breakage and hair loss! Besides, Shea moisture is not a good brand, has Shea butter in all products and its just not a good ingredient to use consistently, extremely heavy, horrible for oily/breakout prone skin and also tends to build up, especially with weak detergents in their shampoos, that's why so many people get itchy scalp and fungus overgrowth with SM. If you use silicones etc, find something with Sodium C14-16 Oleffin Sulfonate - nice, happy medium, if not, look for something truly gentle, like coconut derived surphactants and only use a harsh shampoo every 3 weeks or so. It's important to moisturize the scalp and use the most gentle shampoo you can get away with when you wash it too often.
@@ocandro thank you. I agree, I could be having nicer hair by using sulphonates. I find ethoxylated sulfates and even betaines clog up my skin. I break out bc my oily scalp gets clogged by hint of anything that is hydrophobic, silicones as u said def do. I have my hair up every waking moment, so I feel like any effort to make hair look healthy doesn't show in a tight topknot anyway. I run daily and my hair is always gym ready. Tight buns causes me more hair loss, but running makes me happy, I am in a vicous cycle lol. I don't even use conditioner bc it breaks me out after my scalp sweats. And I love how old school heavy waxy conditioners used to weigh down my hair, and no silicones back then, but they don't make those anymore! ALS and SLS are my go to stripping shampoo ingredients, but I might switch over to soap bars, which is even more cleansing. I'm that oily.
Just watched you on Justin Hickox & I ordered Hairmax comb (cheaper). OK use 5% men Minoxidil (Kirkland)? Product description warns NO for women.) HELP. Thank you Angie!
@@GiGi-fd6om I think that the difference is that the little short hairs from before are now longer. It's not that it fills in more, but that the hairs that are there stay in. I think that's why her hair feels better. Those hairs being longer make the rest of her hair thicker. That's my hope. I've been using mine for 3 months!
I just discovered this video, after seeing you wear the Hairmax in a new video. I want to purchase for my husband, but see the discount code has expired. Do you think its possible to get an updated code? I’d love a little discount and also would love to see you get credit for my purchase. PS - LOVE your channel and videos, you are the best!
Please could someone tell me how many times per day to use it? Morning and evening three times per week? Or just once a day three times per week? Does it have to be always same time of day?
Question for you do you use it every other day or three times a week? I purchased one and the instructions say to use other day like Monday Wednesday Friday totaling three times a week with a two day break bit then I read others use it every other day with no two day break was curious what you did
Just found your channel yesterday...LOVE it. I have been using the mens 5% Rogaine. I still see a ton of shedding though. I may look into this (Hair Max) Can you tell me if you have noticed a difference with your husbands hair growth as well?
Angie I always look forward to catching up with you. Brilliant results then. I’m thinking of trying castor oil. I’ve lost hair around the temples. Sending you sunshine from Oz xx🌞🌞🌞
Hi Angie. I just bought it and excited to use it but after reading the instructions I noticed it says to use on “clean” hair but I don’t wash my hair everyday and it says to use 3 times a week. Have you used it in between washings and is that fine to do?? I work from home and don’t use product in my hair and don’t sweat everyday so I don’t feel like my hair is dirty between washes… just wondering if you think not washing every day will affect the results or if anyone else out there knows the answer to my question.. thanks in advance 🙋🏻♀️
I just LOVE that you do follow ups. It is what differentiates you from some others.
I have dealt with hair loss for years and have tried numerous other products and never saw that it made much difference . I bought this product after watching Angie's first review of it. I had never heard of it before. The Hairmax headband is very easy to use, and both me and my hairdresser are actually seeing a difference. I agree, it is expensive, but they do give a full refund if you’re not satisfied after 5 months. I was planning on returning it if I wasn’t getting results, but I am very satisfied and will continue using it. My hair truly looks and feels thicker.
Hi Paula~ Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the headband!! xo ~angie
There are several products.. which one specifically are you using please ?
Since I started using the Hairmax headband four years ago there are several other brands on the market now that may be just as good and possibly less money. However, I use the headband Angie used and it still works great. Just know, it takes several months to see results. Also, if you stop using it for an extended period of time, you will see hair loss again. So it’s a lifetime commitment, but I figure 90 seconds every other day I can handle. Hope this helps.
My results have tripled my hair . Love this device
We've started HairMax together (mine is LaserComb (less expensive)). 👯 I must say... it is working! I did notice my scalp became more oily ...But that's okay....I much prefer an oily scalp than a bald one any day.😬
MQS 1 are you still seeing improvement?
@@anneemull huh, no answer! I wondered if anyone was still using!
@@luv2garden132 or may be person is died 😅
Im using it. I am totally seeing new growth sprouting up. My hair is all one length to my shoulders. At the part on each sides of my head, it was getting thin. I have these 2” hairs now spring up. New baby hairs.
My hair has been thinning for years. I tried minoxidil and my scalp got terribly itchy and I developed a rash on my head. Of course, that was the end of that. I’ve been using Irestore and I love it. I’ve been using it for about a year now and my hair has really thickened up. I couldn’t be happier. I think low-laser light therapy is the way to go for many of us.
Was your hair falling out and has it decreased if so
I’m considering the iRestore! But I’m so confused with all the products seeming similar yet so different in terms of the Led lights bs number of laser diodes
Number one is use scalp massager ( Not a battery one ) get the nutrients up there ( Blood circulation ) if your a woman brush from the back of your neck with head downward like Polynesians do....( Distributes oils without pulling your hair out ) Use a hair/skin & nails combo as insurance. Do not use same shampoo every day causes build up/switch....minoxidil is short term and really not that effective,,,use for rest of your life...$$$ Cleansing the scalp with diluted apple cider vinegar works...ph scalp..again number one is circulation/massage.
I bought the Hairmax laser comb several years ago. It’s considerably cheaper than Angie’s ‘cap’ which they brought out around a year ago. I live in the UK and after seeing Angie’s video of the cap I went to look at it in Harrods. Personally I much prefer my comb. The cap is quite heave and if you don’t have the right shape head it won’t fit comfortably. The comb is better but takes about 12 minutes to use but you can specifically target the areas of thinning hair. It does work. My hair is thicker and in much better condition too..
Thank you for this comment! I noticed that the comb is more affordable but I thought the hands-free version must be better. I guess not necessarily!
I’m excited. I just bought my comb today n it’s arriving tomorrow
Thank you for the input on the comb. It’s certainly more affordable and I’m willing to put in the time.
@@blacknight2149 how do you like it?
Angie - thank you for your scientific approach! I got my HairMax 6 months ago after your first big review. I am also seeing results. You ALWAYS help me be my best self. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's awesome! I'm so happy you're seeing improvement!! xo ~angie
@@AngieHotandFlashy I'm also having good luck with Aveda's Avanti line. I'm noticing considerably less hair coming out when I wash it - which is every other day. I figure that's half the battle. : P
@@KrisOver50you should do your own review videos I would totally subscribe- are you still on your hair journey? Same opinions? 😊
Suggestion for how to compare before and after: Part your hair in the area of interest and take a close-up of your part. If your hair is thinning, the part will be come slightly wider, or thinner if you have new growth. The difference will be very small but at least objective. Just a thought.
This inspires me to use my 1st generation Hairmax. I am a former hairstylist and totally believe in the scientific evidence of this device. Mine is the older brush like version that had to be plugged in. But no matter it’s still so doable while I’m watching tv. The Hair Max not only helps with regrowrh it helps with the over all health of your hair. 😊
You are the only one I trust with reviews like this. Thanks!!
Thanks!
Angie, can you do another update on this product?
Hi, Angie, I see the difference in all of those photos. I am a menopausal woman...and I had noticed my hair thinning more and more. I decided to try the Nioxin Diamax Advance thickening treatment. It thicken my hair slightly at the hair line in the front.Then I started to notice baby hairs growing back, it must have been the massaging of my scale that did it. They say if you tip your head down and massage your scalp it will stimulate the hair to grow. I told my hair dressers, who was very sceptical. She said it may have been the hairs breaking after my colouring that I was seeing. I stopped colouring my hair about a year and half ago to let my greys come out. I got all my hair cut to a pixie style, I am a nice shade of salt and pepper.(The colour most young ladies are dying their hair...lol.)
So when I go back for a trim, she will see that there are baby’s hairs growing there now and it’s not from breaking hair from the colour. I have been using the Nioxin that for about two years and have noticed it has made a difference for me. I have very fine thin hair and I will take any improvement big or small. Have a great day...🤗❤️ Newfoundland 🇨🇦
Bernadine Royal are you still using the Nioxin? I tried it once, but I stopped after finishing the 1st bottle.
Based on your previous video I switched from the foam minoxidil to the liquid. I didn't realize the ingredients other than the minoxidil were so different between the foam and the liquid, and possibly problematic. I had a severe reaction to the alcohol that's in the liquid formulation. I actually LOST more hair. When I read up on the liquid, it states those who have reactions to this other formulation could lose hair, yikes! I know it's not your fault, it's my sensitivity. I'm just giving a heads up. Again as a follower of your journey, I have purchased the pricey HairMax Laserband 82. I find it easy to use. I like the fact that I don't have to concern myself with ingredients. It's quick to use. I think your results are noticeable enough for me to 'go for it.' Thanks for sharing...
is the HairMax it work for you？
@@puiwingng1920 not really..
@@margaret4078 ohhㅠㅠㅠ thanks for your reply! I’m just thinking about getting one or maybe I shouldn’t……….
@@puiwingng1920 try it...it can't hurt. Maybe you'll have better results. I didn't do it for a whole year and I think it takes that long to see results.
@@margaret4078 hopefully it will work~~ have you found some products or treatments that’s work for you?
At first, I thought, holy cow! Then I realized I was looking at the after picture, thinking it was the before picture. Backing it up it to look again, I noticed that the before picture had more gray hair. The after had dark hair. In my own hair, the temples look a lot more full with the color on the hair than when the hair is white (my temples and around my face have snow white hair once grown out). If you see a difference though, that’s what matters.
Hi Angie! Are you still using this band? is it really worth it? I have read mixed reviews and curious if you still like it three years after your initial post. Thanks
Angie, thank you for your great efforts to make pics that are in the same light and cameras direction for both before/after. Unfortunately I don’t see any improvements but, in fact, see more hair loss. Like you said, what you feel yourself about your hair is what counts for you! But I won’t be purchasing this product like I was considering doing when you presented us with your annual results. Again, thank you for your time and effort and presenting this!
I found a brand new one at Goodwill today for $10! So excited!
I know your video is a few yrs old, but it's super helpful. I don't have hair but now that I'm 53, I know I'm at an age where I will start seeing thinning of hair. So, I want to invest in this. I just started doing red light therapy and love it.
I don’t really think we lose hair on our head when we’re menopausal, it just changes locations; like your chin! 🤣🤣
Judi Dunham 😂😂
Lol 😂😂
Ha! you know it !!
Judi Dunham 🤣😂🤣
🤣 Sadly, for me it is both! Thinning on my head, especially temples and crown.
It did nothing to me. I used for 6 months. They sent it to me too. No results at all. I actually started losing hair and stopped immediately. The only one thing proven in medical studies that work is dermaroller and minoxidil and especially combined together is the best. This is where you really see the results. Thanks for the video love.
Gin Amber I bought this for my Mother & she used it for like 8months & no results at all. I was super disappointed, I was hoping it would work for her.
I agree.
A drrmaroller works.
Dermaroller? Really? I also have alopecia androgenetica which gets even worse when you're menopausal (I currently take dutasteride " illegally": the Dermatologist foundation in my country refuses it to women despite the fact it works! There's one trichologist here that does prescribe it to women if you're willing to pay for it yourself and if you do not get pregnant (it can be harmful to Male embryos). I already had a monk's round on the back of my head, a widows peak and very broad separations. Some of that grew back in with these pills, even though it costs me a second hand car every year. Now that I'm menopausal my hair loss is getting worse again with whole hands full on my pillow and after/ during brushing and showering. You can see a bald spot in the back and my mid section is terrible. I always do a side separation on the same side (other side looks better but there you see too much of my skull already).
Why the long intro. Well I used HairMaxx too. Their brush apparatus. It is the same as this thing only manually. After 7mths I still saw absolutely no result, whereas with Dutasteride (0.15mg by the way) the results were visible after 3 months and quite drastically too (after one month I also noticed a major difference in hair loss). I personally think this is a waste of money. It costed me almost €500. For that I could've had almost 2mths of pills - even though they work way way less now that my hormones are different.
Could you please explain to me what a dermaroller is (those thing with the little needles you can buy from Amazon? Or wish/Aliexpress?) How would that work then? What do I need to buy, what do I need to do? Please, can you tell me? I'm from Europe.
In my other comment you can see why this is super important to me. I know one day I might have to wear a wig, but the longer I can still wear my own hair and look pretty the better! I already have 7 other illnesses making me look older than Angie and less fresh while I'm only 41yo due to pain, lack of sleep, hardship, skin symptoms etc., so ANY tip that helps: I'm game! Thanks!
I bought the smaller and cheaper hairmax band 3 months ago. I was already getting results from Minoxidil. I am using both. The jury is out on my results. Since there is a 180 day return on it, there is time to decide on whether to keep it.
I bought the Hair Max laser brush about two years ago. My hair would never grow at the back of my head to the same length as the surrounding hair. Since using the laser brush, that area of my hair did grow to the length of the surrounding hair. I will say, if there’s hair in the follicle
your hair will grow.
Yes, it looks almost DOUBLE THe THICKNESS! My brother in law, uses this, his wife was very skeptical, but recently, she said, shes Very surprised, his hair is actually Thicker using it! 👍
I have massive post surgery hair loss, I've lost about half my hair now and it really, really sucks. They have minoxidil in pill form and I just got a perscription for it, it's has shown good results in studies and is easier to take every day.. I've also started taking Super B complex, zinc and extra biotin, those are helping too. Be sure and get your protein in whether it's beans, meat or a protein drink, it's very important as your hair needs that to grow. My Doc also said to ditch the ponytail, it just makes the hair loss worse.
Number one is use scalp massager ( Not a battery one ) get the nutrients up there ( Blood circulation ) if your a woman brush from the back of your neck with head downward like Polynesians do....( Distributes oils without pulling your hair out ) Use a hair/skin & nails combo as insurance.

It looks like less hair in the after. Try minoxidil foam. It has stopped my hair loss. I only put in specific places and stop using it once a week, after my Saturday hair salon blow out.
sherryp I agree. I thought she mixed up the before and after photos.
interesting I thought rogaine had to be applied all over, you only put it in certain spots?
shannonlynnmomof3 I only put it in certain spots that are thin and it works really well, my hair is growing like crazy.
Interesting product and thank you for sharing. There's a slight improvement and most likely it will be more impressive overtime, However, I find the price point is very high for the results shown after a year. I think would pas on this one.
The price is $799 USD. It is just my opinion that the results shown do not merit the cost. However, if I had purchased it, I would definitely keep using it and not let it waste away in the closet. :)@David S.
I use a large red LED bulb from Rubylux that I got on Amazon for around $30. The plug-in cord I use with it was about $10. I just part my hair and do one section at a time on the top of my hair and temples. It takes me about 5 minutes total. My hair had thinned a bit from a thyroid issue but it's better now.
Chartreuse Closet so you believe the bulb is helping you? My hair has gotten so thin right in the part in the middle where my hairline is. I would love to get new hair growing there.
@@julieevans2387 yes I do think the led light helps with hair growth. another affordable product I use is the "Multi Peptide Serum for Hair Density" from The Ordinary. Peptides are the active ingredient in lash and brow growth serums like Latisse. You massage the serum into your scalp before bed. It's great. And getting my ferritin levels up with iron supplements has helped as well, my dermatologist told me that ferritin needs to be at least 70 for good hair growth (mine was 20 when I was tested) so check those levels!
Chartreuse Closet hello, do you where protective sunglasses?
3:36 and 3:41 it looks like you have lost hair from using the product...just my thoughts
I thought exactly the same.
You have to keep in mind that as you combat balding, you’re gonna see hair-loss as you use these products. Hair will grow back depending on how much the hair loss is counter acting your products
Me too...
The legs and underarms hair loss is awesome...I cant see them anyhow. Im fortunate to still have a full head of thick hair that grows 1 inch a month. I only have one stray 'cat whisker, hair on the side of my face at the jawline. It can grow an inch almost overnight. I took Esteadiol x 12 yrs post hysterectomy. I wish I had kept taking it. That cat whisker hair is from the teeny bit of testosterone still floating around in my body.
I started using minoxidil on my eyebrows, along with rapid lash, and saw great results. I decided to use it on my temple area and hairline to help with thinning. My hair is white completely around my hairline in front and the minoxidil turned it golden due to the oxidation of retinol in the product. This doesn’t wash out. I just got it cut out from Timeless citric acid serum I was using on my face. This also discolored my fingernails. So I bought a hairmax 9 to see how well a laser works before upgrading to a more expensive device. Just started, so we’ll wait and see.
In the first two sets of before and after pics, the before pic looks better than the after pic. Are you sure you didn't accidentally reverse them?
I was thinking the same. The hair looks darker and dense in the "before" picture, in the first 2 (left side, I think)
I wondered that too. Definitely looks better in the before pics.
I was wondering, too
Same.
I wanted to say that too. I do not see a big difference for ONE year of doing that. I notice improvement in hair and nails when I take collagen.
I could see some improvement Angie! Thanks for sharing!
Please give an update. Are you still using this device? Please advise as I am interested in buying one asap. Thanks for all you do. Your channel has changed my life (not an exaggeration) ❤️
I am still using my HairMax! Love it!
Angie, I thought for a while now that your hair was looking thicker all over. I was wondering if it was the hair max. Glad you did the review. I have one but just didn’t commit. to it.. Think I will get out and start again. Thanks.
I found that using monixidil right after a shampoo/shower... will not make your hair feel crackly or dirty.
Good morning! Are you still using this 4-years later?
Minoxidil (Regaine women’s 5%foam) worked for me. Took ages to kick in but now I have growth that has filled out my hairline. Takes less than a minute everynight. I rinse a bit in the morning before I style and go. 💋
Lipstick Konniption I tried minoxidil a few years ago and I’m struggling to remember why I stopped. The only thing I can think of is that back then my hair needed washing every day and I think the directions were to apply to a dry scalp, which was impossible for me given that I was washing my hair every morning.
Would you be able to explain further what you mean by ‘rinsing in’. My hair loss has continued and I’m considering trying minoxidil again but I’m not sure what you meant by this. Thank you.
I wonder if the first pictures on the right side of Before and After may be reversed, because it looks like you have less hair in the After. All of the other side looks like you have more hair.
Having thyroid issues this has made a huge difference 4 me. Hate Nioxin but still using the foam every other day. Wondering if I dare quit.... I am also trying to control my thyroid w/ a doctor. On their site, they claim w/ a controlled thyroid it will help. Well it has me, drastically so I occasionally praise you for recommending & testing this. xoxo
It’s a bit pricey but try the Sisley Hair Ritual line. I’ve had amazing results in a short time. Easy to use in your routine and hair scalp feel and look amazing! ....for the price it should give results!
Hi Angie! I was wondering if you have any other planned updates for this? Thanks and Happy Holidays! 🎄❄️
Hey Angie, are you still using the laserband? Could you make an update now, 5 years later? Are you satisfied, over the years?
I don’t have hair loss yet but if and when I do I’d plunk 800 down for this since it seems pretty quick and easy.
Thanks for your timely reviews! I’m experiencing similar hair thinning and though I cannot purchase this item (or the cheaper models) at this moment, I certainly look forward to getting it in the future when my financials get better!
Hi Angie. I have to say I really think you mixed up the b4 and after pics, idk I could be wrong, but I saw another say you had more hair b4 the pics and I noticed that as well and truly believe it was a small mixup 🤷🏼♀️
I agree...
Your hair has looked really good lately Angie! The lighter blonde highlights really flatter you. I've been using collagen (alternating powder and tablets) AM & PM on an empty stomach with some vit C since January and have noticed a bunch of new baby hairs coming in. My hairdresser commented on it too. Maybe a coincidence but I feel it's helping my skin too, so will continue. Time will reveal all!
So glad you're having success and hope others do as well. Thank you for the update.
Call me ignorant, but I did not even know that a thing like that for the hair existed..! You know what I like about you?? Your honesty about products and the funny faces when you make a mistake in front of the camera (which is not too often), but you act spontaneously and that is a genuine reaction, not rehearsaled.😘
Hi Angie did you lose hair when you first started to use laser? I am losing more hair then usual with this laser thanks please reply. ❤️
Are you still using your HairMax device?
If so, do you se more improvements in your hair volume or less hair in the drain?
My dermatologist indicated one has to use products for ayear
I see positive result! Very nice and easy... Your hair looks very healthy&beautiful xoxo Hella 💕💜
Angie what is the rationale behind the laser stimulation of hair growth please?
Would you ask the manufacturer and let us know please?
I have found that 1 teaspoon of Nettle seeds twice daily 15mins before meals
And Nettle leaf powder added to hair treatment and left one for an hour or more then washed out weekly has really improved the thickness health shine & luster of my hair
It was looking thin limp and lackluster a year ago
Still interested in anything else that make it even better :)
I have the same problem hair loss at my temples. I'm going to buy it and hope I get good results to thank you for your video . 🤗👍
Thank you Angie, I see a nice improvement in your hair growth!
Hello Angie
I am battling with hairloss for 24 years..
I was introduced to Minoxidil 22 years ago by dr Alexander in Bedfordview South Africa where I consulted and order 11% strength Minoxidil from.
I will never be able to go off it as excessive hairfall starts almost immediately.
As I am on a maintenance programme I use it only the evenings before I wash my hair.
It therefore never looks greasy..
Plse try again as he believes that 5% will be good enough for a 12yr old child only
Love Elmarie
Elmarie Fourie, can you give directions as to how you apply it? Do you apply and leave on for a certain period of time, and then wash out? and then is it daily? Also, this may be redundant, and I'm sorry if it is, but have you had your hormones evaluated-it could be the cause and quite common. Thank you!
Hi there
I apply it on dry scalp the evening before washing my hair.
When I had extreme hairloss I did it every evening but am now only on a maintenance programme . I leave it on till the next morning and then only wash it off.
Once a year I do a monthly programme on the scalp of pure caffeine , B-solution combined with the Minoxidil 11% just to give it a boost.
My sister has hormonal hairloss but I do get tested in every way by an endocrinologist every 2nd year as I am over 50 and have absolutely no hormonal problems.
My hairloss is stress and auto immune related .
My Docter do video calls at a consultation charge and also courier his product internationally.
Minoxidil made me hair fall out more, plus it left it feeling gross. I read that it does that before it stops and starts to grow more in, but I didn’t want to take the chance, plus I hated the feeling of it in my hair. I bought the lasermax comb, and while it takes longer per session than the band, I definitely think it’s working for my hair. The thinning at the temples hasn’t really gotten better, but my overall thinning has slowed; I have much much less hair fallout when I wash my hair now, I’ve only had it about 5 months, so it’s still hard to tell, but overall I, pleased. I bought mine new off eBay, it was cheaper than buying direct!
Please feel free to show us any similar type products that are more reasonably priced but just as effective. Price seems a bit high. Thakn you for sharing the product and your results with us.
Angie, do you think that the hairs at your temple have gotten longer, so it may not have filled in more, but the added long hairs make your hair feel better overall?
I see a marked improvement in your hair growth. It was easy to see!
Minoxodil- I could taste it in my sinus when applied to my temples. It stops working if I stop using it. I dont want to use minoxidil forever! I dont thinks that's good. I am looking to amboy this laser band - front and temples are thinning. I hope it works for me. They have cheaper alternatives (less actual lasers). Dies that matter? They look like LED lights. I wonder - is LED therapy a good thing for hair growth/scalp health.
Thanks for your honest review!
Hi Angie, always love your videos and really appreciate your honesty! I’m wondering if when you use this device do you also use the shampoo, conditioner, vitamins and serum they promote as well or the device alone. I’ve been using the iRestore helmet and all the “extras” for a few months now and can see some improvement but not enough to not think about returning it for a refund. I can still use it for a few more months. The thing I’m wondering is do you prefer this device over the iRestore purely because it is somewhat cumbersome or do you have other reasons. I’m thinking it’s going to be difficult to travel with as I do travel a lot! I’m looking forward to your reply! Cheers!
Which headband are you using .. after checking I’m seeing several so I’m a little confused 🤔
There's a hairmax 41 and an 82. She's got the 82. I think I the difference is it takes 90 seconds instead of 180.
Thanks for your video .I still have the same model and i am just starting to use it again.
Same as you Minoxidil feels awful and it irritates my scalp makes it itchy .So i discontinued use happily .But i went another way and started needling once a week and using the Hairmax 3 times and together my hair took off and clearly thickened up over around 4 months Didnt even use any special shampoos .Needling is a bit painful but it seems effective.There was even a hair growing about a centimeter down from where i needled on my forehead .All on its own growing away since i started both protocols ..
I waaaannt it!!! Post menopausal here....Ug. Thanks Angie! Have a great weekend!
Hello! Thank you for doing such in-depth reviews... Thank you for all the research you put into the red light products for your face. I have similar questions for the red light products for your hair... I am confused as to why, the professional iRestore only has 82 laser diodes and 200 Led lights... It makes the over all number look good.... But all the other devices far exceed the number of Laser Diodes and have no Led Lights. In my research only the Laser Diodes improve the hair condition, and not Led lights... An I correct? Why then would a product with so many Led lights and so few laser Diodes be considered so highly? What am I missing? These devices are expensive and I don’t want to waste my money when I could buy a device with more laser diodes... Am I missing a positive of having more Led Lights along with just a few laser diodes??
As I understand red light & hair growth, only laser lights work and LEDs don't. That's why I recommend the HairMax which uses only laser lights. But if you compare the 2 devices, they both have 82 laser lights.
I see definitely results.
Uhm...I don’t see the difference in the pics..
I haven’t seen the previous video but a mention of the cost would have been useful...it’s definitely too pricey
did you lose hairs first before they grew out when you used this device because some brands said people suppose to lose hairs first before new ones come out ? Thanks for your video.
Are you still using in 2021?? What do you think now, if you are still using?
I did not see a difference on your before and after. Are you going to use minoxidil again?
Hi Angie, in one of your videos you talked about a Neutrogena product that you are cleansing with now that the Cerve is burning your skin. What was that product please?
There is no difference in number of hairs but that is a good thing though...after 1 year you did not lose any and the quality of the bulbs follicles benith the skin are MAYBE healthier ? Making the hair stronger ?
This is really good to see. I was gifted the laser comb but had yet to use it because when you have curly hair using anything with teeth on a regular basis actually means styling your hair more often which can be counterproductive. I might see if I can lift and place the comb rather than push and slide it. Thank you! PS - has anyone tried derma-stamping for hair growth?
I'm confused, your before picture has more hair... ?!
Thank you for doing this follow up video, Angie! I'm using the Costco cap since xmas, plus the melatonin cream $10 amazon, and biotin. My hairdresser says he sees baby hairs, so, I'm hoping something is working.
Janice G - Awesome to hear you are seeing results. Which Biotin are you using? I have been using standard Biotin from Nature Made 5,000mg per day dose and have been doing so since November and my hair is growing faster, getting thicker from new growth, feels and looks healthier. My hair stylist and I have both seen a difference in my hair growth rate, new growth (baby hairs) and thickness. Unfortunately, my last stylist was in a hurry to finish up my service in November (at a large retail store with Salon services) and they were close to closing for the night. Color service took longer and I really wish she would have asked me to come back to do my cut instead of rushing because it was close to closing time and store managers get unhappy if a stylist is holding up closing. She got flustered from the side eye and snippy look from the manager (yes, I saw the exchange), and got anxious and stressed and lost her focus. Instead of bringing up the back to even out the length and continue to allow my front and sides to grow as we had been doing, she cut my front, left the back, face framed me and cut four inches off my bangs and sides - six months of growth out the window. We had a set standard of how my hair was to be trimmed and nothing more until the length grew out enough to do the cut we patiently waited for my hair to grow into. At $400 per touch up for color (basically a full refresh every four weeks) since she only used gloss (reds, browns, and my blonde), it was getting cost prohibitive and with the dark colors I noticed grey coming in and it was not covered after full service and the mistake with my cut (it will grow back and we did not discuss grey cover-up) huh, are you crazy, who pays $400 to walk out with greys showing everywhere she did not know existed, and you don't think this should be addressed or even mention, hey your root line is showing do you want to do x or wait) (it will grow back and we did not discuss roots against dark colors is the wrong response). I am easy, same colors, same deal with cut, show up on time, just do your thing, and make sure it looks great. I brought my sister, niece and other clients to her. She lost me and my sister, my niece still goes for a cut. Shame she is talented but common sense should prevail here. So glad you are seeing good results 🌷
Soooo glad you did the update on this, was debating just last week about getting one.
Pics show basically the same density overall. If there is any change it's certainly not enough to warrant continued use of that thing every other day of your life.
Minoxidil tames my frizz & adds shine. I guess my shampoo is too stripping. Anyhow, it's a working combo :)
If your shampoo is too stripping, try switching to something paraben-free and silicone-free. Don't know if your hair is curly and/or wavy, but Shea Moisture is very affordable and offers lots of shampoos/conditioners, etc., for those hair types.
@@loveforeignaccents thank you sweetie! I actually like stripping ones bc I work out very hard daily, sweat so much and hair gets stinky so I need to wash my hair daily. So minoxidil balances it out by adding oiliness :)
@@sawamichelle the person above doesn't know what they are talking about. Silicones are not detergents and they do not strip your hair. Parabens are preservatives that were falsely linked to cancer and do zero harm to skin and hair.
As for your workouts, even the most gentle shampoo will get your hair clean from sweat! Sulphates etc are only needed for people, who use products that build up on hair - silicones, waxes, mineral oils. Don't switch to Shea Moisture if you use such products, or you'll experience terrible buildup, breakage and hair loss! Besides, Shea moisture is not a good brand, has Shea butter in all products and its just not a good ingredient to use consistently, extremely heavy, horrible for oily/breakout prone skin and also tends to build up, especially with weak detergents in their shampoos, that's why so many people get itchy scalp and fungus overgrowth with SM. If you use silicones etc, find something with Sodium C14-16 Oleffin Sulfonate - nice, happy medium, if not, look for something truly gentle, like coconut derived surphactants and only use a harsh shampoo every 3 weeks or so. It's important to moisturize the scalp and use the most gentle shampoo you can get away with when you wash it too often.
@@ocandro thank you. I agree, I could be having nicer hair by using sulphonates. I find ethoxylated sulfates and even betaines clog up my skin. I break out bc my oily scalp gets clogged by hint of anything that is hydrophobic, silicones as u said def do. I have my hair up every waking moment, so I feel like any effort to make hair look healthy doesn't show in a tight topknot anyway. I run daily and my hair is always gym ready. Tight buns causes me more hair loss, but running makes me happy, I am in a vicous cycle lol. I don't even use conditioner bc it breaks me out after my scalp sweats. And I love how old school heavy waxy conditioners used to weigh down my hair, and no silicones back then, but they don't make those anymore! ALS and SLS are my go to stripping shampoo ingredients, but I might switch over to soap bars, which is even more cleansing. I'm that oily.
@@ocandro I agree about Shea Moisture. Awful brand, not good for your hair.
This is an older video, do you have an update on this product?
Does it cause hair to shed at first?
do you think their cap would work just as well? they have it at costco its 7 min but it's your whole head at once
it is now 2024 has she done any updates on this or a similar product?
Is this everyday Angie?
Just out of curiousity, Can the laser band be used for the face like the other RLT masks?
Just watched you on Justin Hickox & I ordered Hairmax comb (cheaper). OK use 5% men Minoxidil (Kirkland)? Product description warns NO for women.) HELP. Thank you Angie!
Hi Angie. Have you tried the DHT blocker shampoos available for hair loss?
I really like your FOLLOW UPS!!! 👍
Angie, do you think this device or minoxodil works better?
You can definitely see that your hairline is noticeably fuller. Great video. BTW, did you notice any difference in the crown area?
Is it just me or do the photos look reversed it looks like she has more hair on the before pictures
That's what i think too. The before pic looks better than the after.
I was confused aswell. No offence Angie, you're stunning and your hear is gorgeus regardless ❤️
I do see improvement on the before pics. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed. I thought It was just me!! ha ha
@@GiGi-fd6om I think that the difference is that the little short hairs from before are now longer. It's not that it fills in more, but that the hairs that are there stay in. I think that's why her hair feels better. Those hairs being longer make the rest of her hair thicker. That's my hope. I've been using mine for 3 months!
Kristine Lettero i thought so too
I just discovered this video, after seeing you wear the Hairmax in a new video. I want to purchase for my husband, but see the discount code has expired. Do you
think its possible to get an updated code? I’d love a little discount and also would love to see you get credit for my purchase. PS - LOVE your channel and videos, you are the best!
Please could someone tell me how many times per day to use it? Morning and evening three times per week? Or just once a day three times per week? Does it have to be always same time of day?
Question for you do you use it every other day or three times a week? I purchased one and the instructions say to use other day like Monday Wednesday Friday totaling three times a week with a two day break bit then I read others use it every other day with no two day break was curious what you did
I use it every other day.
Just found your channel yesterday...LOVE it. I have been using the mens 5% Rogaine. I still see a ton of shedding though. I may look into this (Hair Max) Can you tell me if you have noticed a difference with your husbands hair growth as well?
What's wrong with irestore, I was considering buying it 🤔
Angie I always look forward to catching up with you. Brilliant results then. I’m thinking of trying castor oil. I’ve lost hair around the temples. Sending you sunshine from Oz xx🌞🌞🌞
Hi Angie. I just bought it and excited to use it but after reading the instructions I noticed it says to use on “clean” hair but I don’t wash my hair everyday and it says to use 3 times a week. Have you used it in between washings and is that fine to do?? I work from home and don’t use product in my hair and don’t sweat everyday so I don’t feel like my hair is dirty between washes… just wondering if you think not washing every day will affect the results or if anyone else out there knows the answer to my question.. thanks in advance 🙋🏻♀️
Angie, your skin looks so beautiful!!
Thank you!!
Do laser products help improve hair texture?
