More than an observation, it is a fact: LED masks have become in a few years a real phenomenon which creates emulators as much on social networks as in beauty institutes or in the care of particularly influential personalities, like Kim Kardashian. Their energetic power on the cells depends on their wavelength: red light is capable of slowing down the process of skin aging, yellow light brings brilliance to dull dyes while blue light predestine to skins suffering from small imperfections, such as acne.
After the different applications on skin, more or less targeted (whole face, eye contour, mouth, neckline, neck), LEDs, alongside lasers (a technique known as low -level laser therapy – LLLT -, which makes it possible to treat hair loss), now come to energize hair bulbs, whose activity tends to slow down with age. We find them today in different forms (helmets, bands, combs, or even downright caps) all with the same goal: to promote the regrowth of the hair and obtain a richer and more dense hair mass. If these devices are starting to be talked about, it is because hair loss is a much more common problem than you might think. According to Advanced figures in 2023 by the specialized platform Medihairalopecia would touch at least once in its life 85% of men and 33% of women.
How do LED Hair Helmets work and what do they slow down hair loss?
Recently launched on the market, led hair helmets have not yet been able to have miraculous effects. However, they are already given a significant efficiency when used from the first signs of alopecia or baldness, in addition to an adapted care routine. Please note: they are not effective in case of advanced baldness.
In the same way as a LED mask for the face, they stimulate the production of collagen, creating a healthy hair environment to optimize the growth of the hair, gain in thickness and volume. They are also known to strengthen the health of the scalp since LED lights deeply penetrate the scalp, preventing hair loss. Finally, they facilitate blood circulation, which improves the flow of nutrients to the scalp, helping, helping, in fine, to strengthen hair, maximize their density and prolong their life cycle. LED Hair Helmets are also “recommended as an alternative in the event of a standard treatment or as a complement to existing treatments“, underlines a study conducted on this subject by the two researchers Angeli Eloise Torres et Henry W. Lim. On a daily basis, their use is simple since it is used alone. To optimize the results, they can associate with the application of a hair serum.

Amandine Lhoste’s opinion, Writer Vogue France commerce:
“At the end of 14 weeks of test of the LED helmet for hair CurrentBody, I could see multiple regrowths on all of my scalp. Small wicks have gradually added hair mass to my hair. The results took a little more time than the average to be visible because my hair is curly. I am nevertheless very satisfied because I had never observed such a regrowth. I find the helmet very easy to use. I put it on my head every evening and I literally forget it. It is not heavy and holds well without tightening so I can continue to be active by doing my sports session for example. The audio function is great to continue listening to music or a podcast during treatment. It has adapted perfectly to my lifestyle to become a real non-binding habit. The battery is for a long time and it recharges quickly. If I did not take the helmet with me during my summer vacation for lack of space, I now resume its use to overcome the usual fall hair loss. ”

Why do we lose hair daily?
Each hair follows a very special natural cycle, composed of 3 phases: 1) the anagen phase (that is to say growth). This is the moment that translates the hair growth. The duration of this phase is the longest and can vary from a few months to several years. 2) The catagen phase (transition). When the growth phase is over, the hair is transitioned. More concretely, the hair follicle shrinks and stops feeding the hair. This can last between 3 weeks and several months. 3) The telogen phase (fall). When the hair falls to make room for a new one. This cycle can be disturbed by external factors, such as stress, seasons, pollution, hormonal imbalances, certain food deficiencies or hair treatments. To remedy it, the brand Nooance gives us some ways of improvement.
- Regularly massage the scalp: “Massage of the scalp stimulates blood circulation, which helps bring more nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles. This means stronger hair and a phase of prolonged growth.”
- Avoid tight hairstyles: “Too tight hairstyles, which shoot hair can cause traction alopecia. This type of hair loss is caused by excessive tension on hair follicles, causing localized hair loss.”
- Use suitable hair care: “Choose shampoos and conditioner formulated for hydration and hair protection, taking into account the pH of your scalp. Products enriched with nourishing ingredients such as natural oils, ceramids or silk proteins can strengthen hair while maintaining a healthy scalp.”
