![9 Best Hair Growth Devices of 2024, According to Experts](http://cdnus.globalso.com/hjelectrics/513.jpg)
We have good and bad news: While hair loss is not totally reversible, there are several methods one can follow to help reduce thinning and shedding. There are serums and oils that support scalp health; there are shampoos that densify strands; and now, there are even red light therapy devices specifically designed to slow down the fallout process and stimulate new growth.
"LED Red Light Therapy has been shown to be particularly effective in treating androgenetic alopecia, which is a type of hair loss caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors," says Dr. Craig Ziering, D.O., F.A.A.D., a board-certified dermatologist, hair transplant surgeon, and owner of Ziering Medical. And unlike traditional hair growth treatments, "red light therapy has no known side effects, making it a safer and more natural alternative."
LED isn't the only effective at-home hair growth device, either. According to Dr. Ziering, methods such as micro-needling and low-level laser therapy (also referred to as cold laser therapy) can also deliver promising results for hair follicle health.
To help with your search, here are the best hair growth devices worth adding to your haircare routine.
The most inconspicuous hair growth device on the market, this cap allows you to grow on the go. It comes equipped with hidden red light therapy technology to prevent shedding, revitalize damaged strands, and rejuvenate the follicles for future growth. It's particularly effective for those dealing with genetic alopecia, but it's also suitable for menopause- and age-related hair loss.
One Amazon shopper says: "It's been 2 months and only a small portion of the hairs fell out and the rest of them are growing like weeds. I can not believe how long they are getting. My receding hairline is way less noticeable and being a woman in my late 50s this is more important than you can ever imagine. If this is what can happen in just 2 months I am excited to see what is in store for me over the next 12 months."
Suggested Use: 6 minutes daily for 6 months
This hair brush features nine medical-grade laser diodes that can be used to spot treat problematic areas or on the full scalp. According to clinical studies conducted by the brand, the device helps regrow hair with "an average hair count of 129 additional new hairs per sq. inch after six months." Plus, its compact size makes it travel friendly.
One Amazon reviewer writes: "My dermatologist recommended this product. He mentioned that I wouldn’t see hair growth right away, but the first signs it began working would be that my hair would stop falling out as much. He was right! I’ve only used it a few times, so far, and my hair falling has slowed substantially! I’m eager to see new hair growth now. One thing I recommend is that you use it every other day until you reach the maximum usage days to follow the three times a week as suggested in the directions."
Suggested Use: 3 times a week for 11 minutes a session.
The iRestore is a hands-free gadget that treats your hair and allows you to multi-task at the same time. The FDA-cleared hair loss treatment uses red light therapy to promote a fuller and denser mane, and it comes with an accompanying remote with a timer display that lets you press pause or restart whenever needed.
One Amazon reviewer raves: "I am a 61-year-old woman, and my hair has been thinning for several years... I've been using the iRestore for almost two months... I'm happy to say that my hair is regrowing beautifully. I'm no longer self conscious about my hair style. I have lots of new baby hair coming in, and it's my natural dark color, not white like a lot of my hair is. I give most of the credit to the iRestore helmet; I've tried Rogaine for women in the past with little result, but this time around my hair is really responding."
Suggested Use: Every other day for 25 minutes. Expect results in 3-6 months
This FDA-cleared helmut-like device harnesses the power of red light therapy to not only hasten regrowth, but to prevent future hair loss, reverse pattern balding, and receding hair lines by restrengthening the follicle. It's also very easy to use, super lightweight, and features built in speakers, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your favorite podcast.
One reviewer writes: "Easy to use and size fit in perfectly, it’s so nice that given timer and Bluetooth connected automatically, it’s comfortable to wear and it’s weight not heavy, the light feeling warm and the material feel so durable."
Suggested Use: 10 minutes daily for 16 weeks

From the brand behind the T&C-loved infrared sauna blanket and infrared mat, this new red light hat comes built with full coverage LEDs that increase blood flow in the scalp and strengthen the hair follicle to reduce shedding and thinning, and boost growth and density. For best results, use daily for 10 minutes to see its powerful effects by the 2 month mark.
One reviewer says: "Before using I would have handfuls of hair come out in the shower but now I see so much less shedding. I see less white scalp than before and I see new growth."
Suggested Use: Every day for 10 minutes. Expect results in 1-2 months.
If you're considering going down the micro-needling route, Bondi Boost's derma roller has 540 high strength medical grade stainless steel needles designed to be used across the scalp.
One reviewer says: "This is a must have in my products and tool from Bondi! I can already tell a difference in my thinner spots on my head. I just started incorporating this product into my weekly hair care routine! I use it after i shower in my wet hair and so far so good. I'm excited to continue using it to see how it promotes hair growth."
Suggested Use: Once a week on wet hair
When you want to achieve professional results at home, Dr. Ziering's cutting-edge hair growth device is your best bet. "The Ziering LaserCap stimulates inactive hair follicles using low-level laser therapy," Dr. Ziering explains. "It's a safe, all-natural, and painless hair regrowth treatment."
Suggested Use: 3 times a week for 30 minutes for the first 12 months
Not only does this brush use red LED to address hair loss, it also relies on blue LED to help promote maximum growth, as well as gentle sonic vibration that massages the scalp for a soothing brushing experience. Not to mention, it's under $100.
One reviewer says: "I did not think it would work but im kind of desperate and cannot handle monoxodil it left my skin so itchy and I even had some weird hormonal fluctuations with my cycle so my doc advised me to get off. He told me to look into red LED so my search got me to this product, its cheap and has medical grade red 630nm. I used it in combination with a head massage with my fingers and i have seen hair fill out in places that were bald spots!"
Suggest use: Use on dry hair for 5-10 minutes
Created specifically for those dealing with Androgenetic alopecia (the most common form of hair loss in men and women), this head band uses medical lasers to stop thinning in its tracks and help boost hair density and fullness. It's also a great option for people always on the go since the recommended treatment use is only 3 minutes.
One reviewer writes: "I've had mine for about 3 years. My hairdresser is amazed how thick my hair is now. I use it 3-4 times a week."
Suggested use: Start at the front hairline, glid incrementally over the scalp, covering 6 sections. Use 3 days a week for 3 minutes
According to Dr. Ziering, there are many devices one can use to treat hair loss:
It all depends on the product you use. People who use Dr. Ziering's medical-grade cap usually notice a difference in their thinning areas within 60 days, while other FDA-cleared devices on the market deliver results starting in 3 months.
