Having become the most desirable lights in the beautysphere, LEDs are absolutely everywhere. In institutes, on face masks, for the décolleté, and now, for hair ! While we used to insist on massaging our scalp with castor oil, the good old grandmother’s method was quickly surpassed by beauty tech, which knows the needs of its consumers. Among the biggest references in terms of LED objects, CurrentBody has managed to position itself among the best brands, and now offers a LED hair helmet cutting-edge technology that almost makes you want to wear it on the subway… Tom Smith, CurrentBody’s global hair health expert, explains why we’ll soon no longer be able to do without these little red lights.
Why do we lose hair?
Don’t panic, losing your hair is normal: with a cycle that makes us lose up to 100 hairs per day, there is no need to worry when we don’t lose all our hair either. And it is also by identifying the causes of the hair loss that a treatment method can be identified.”Hair loss can have a variety of causes, but most commonly in the salon I see a correlation between poor health, illness or a period of high stress. Hormonal changes in the body also play a role, with hair loss during menopause or after having a baby also being a fairly common concern.” explains Tom Smith, before going on to clarify that when you experience unexplained hair loss, looking back at recent events can often reveal periods of stress or traumatic events that may have been the cause.
Why are LEDs the best for growing hair?
If you do not have any particular pathology, it is important to remember that healthy and stable hair requires a holistic approach, that is to say, one that takes into account lifestyle and care routine. Accompanied by a healthy diet and a regulated stress level (through yoga or meditation, for example), the LED light therapy offers a simple and effective option to improve the quality of hair growth.”Many people are familiar with red light treatments in the form of face masks or in conjunction with facials and beauty treatments, and are therefore aware that red light is a positive treatment option, but have not yet considered it for hair health.” notes the hairdresser. The integration of the helmet of hair growth in a beauty routine will instantly change the appearance of your hair.

“Many clients comment on the calming nature of the treatment and how it promotes a moment of calm and tranquility. A positive impact on the nervous system and stress levels is always a good thing,” Tom continues. It must be said that with the CurrentBody Bluetooth headset, it has everything to relax us while acting on hair growth. Requiring only 10 minutes of use per day, its red light inhibits the production of the enzyme responsible for DHT (dihydrotestosterone), one of the main causes of thinning hair, and stimulates the production of natural molecules that lead to increased circulation to the hair follicles. At a rate of one use per day for 12 weeks, it increases the rate of 128% hair growthwith 96% of users reporting a significant improvement in hair thickness. In short, to live hairy, let’s make LEDs!
