How to Decide If the Laser Hair Comb Will Help Treat Your Hair Loss

Life can take a toll on your looks, especially your hair. Stress, illness, medication, and age can all take hair that was once fast growing and lush and turn it thin and lifeless. So how about if you could bring your hair back to life just by brushing it? The newly FDA-approved HairMax Laser Hair Comb ™ claims to rejuvenate lifeless, thinning hair to its former state. It is geared toward directing treating laser light at the hair shaft and follicle itself. Here are some things to consider before you spend $545 for this fancy new brush.

1. It might be more economical than other treatments. You have to use Rogaine and other hair-loss drugs everyday, and they aren't cheap. Some shampoos contain Nioxin, which is geared at the scalp keeping in hair, but it is a temporary application that is rinsed out and has limited results in most cases and is generally at least $20 per bottle. This brush works for the life of the implement (or about ten years), which works out to be less expensive than most of the various medicines available for hair loss.
   
2. You don't have to spend as much time or energy using the Laser Hair Comb. You have to apply Rogaine twice a day. It can get a bit sticky, and leaves your existing hair looking clumpy and somewhat greasy, which then looks even thinner than before you applied. The Laser Hair Comb is used about 15 minutes a day, a few times a week. And since you have to brush your hair anyway, why not multi-task?
   
3. It works faster than other treatments. Rogaine keeps the hair you have in, and might slowly regrow some of your old hair. When you stop using Rogaine, you will lose the hair that the Rogaine kept in. The Laser Hair Comb is purported to takes 3-5 months for the user to be satisfied.
   
4. The comb can be used by those who cannot use Rogaine. Rogaine is not suitable for pregnant or nursing women, and Rogaine for Women is generally a lower dose of active ingredient based upon pregnancy complications and hormonal concerns. Rogaine active ingredients can get into your system. Rogaine also does not work well if you have a sensitive or broken scalp. Finally, Rogaine leaves your hair looking clumpy and somewhat greasy after application.
   
5. Consider where you get the HairMax Laser Hair Comb. Some websites, such as Blissworld.com, will not take returns on the Comb. However, the hairmax website, www.lasercomb.net, has a program where you can try the comb out for three months, and return it if you aren't satisfied. So, if you aren't sure if it will work for you, then you may want to try it out before you buy it.
   
6. The Laser Comb has a high rate of success. Lasercomb.net reports that 90% of users are satisfied with the comb. For a product without side effects, that's pretty impressive.
   
7. You can even brush your hair with it! With a button to turn the laser on and off, you can use your Laser Hair Comb as a regular brush. However, for the price, you may want to keep a regular brush on hand as well. This way, you won't put undue stress on the Laser Hair Comb.

For both men and women who are experiencing hair loss or hair thinning, the hairmax Laser Comb has potential to rejuvenate your follicular cells to product thicker, more lustrous hair again. While it is indeed seemingly expensive at first blush, it works out far cheaper than the alternative hair loss treatments, and doesn't involve any fuss or muss. You'll be running your fingers through your thick, shiny hair in no time!
