A couple of years ago, I took a flight to Istanbul on Turkish Airlines to meet with a hair transplant expert. It wasn’t for my scalp; it was for my beard. Stress-induced alopecia had ravaged one side of my face, and I was horribly self-conscious about it. Even images I took for my articles here on The Manual I would limit to the right side of my face. Ultimately, I got the transplant on the left side and went home happy. Now my right side is following suit, and I am considering the same thing again.
But what if I didn’t have to do all of that? What if there was a better way to treat hair loss? The secret is to get out in front of it early. Don’t wait. That doesn’t mean book a ticket on “Turkish Hairlines” and start going under the knife (dramatic, but you get the point). Instead, there is a better way to start early. Red light therapy. But, guys don’t always have the time. So the fix is in GroWell’s red light therapy hat. Who said wearing a hat causes you to go bald? That old wives’ tale is a thing of the past.
More men are doing the smart thing and treating their hair loss earlier. Hair loss only goes in one direction: it either gets worse fast or it gets worse slowly, so the sooner you begin, the better off you’ll be. – Jonathan Graff, Director of Clinical Education, Apira Science
Dispelling the myth with red light in a hat
When I was in my twenties, I used to get told by all the older gents that wearing a hat every day (yeah, Ken Griffey Jr. wore a backwards hat every day and so I shall too) would cause my widow’s peak to deepen and kill the hair follicles on the crown. I never knew if that was real or not, and my hair survived. But now, GroWell has developed a hat you can wear on a daily basis and slow the effects of male pattern baldness. Attractive and easy, just what men need for their grooming secrets.
“GroWell looks like a regular baseball cap, but inside are medical-grade lasers and LEDs clinically proven to regrow hair. That’s the whole idea: discreet, effective hair loss treatments that fit into any guy’s lifestyle and schedule. You’ll have nothing to hide, but nothing you have to share either.”
The FDA agrees
OK, they can talk a big game, but does it work? Well, Jonathan Graff from GroWell’s partner on this product, Apira Science, tells us:
“LLLT is the only clinically proven, FDA-cleared hair-loss treatment that is not a drug, not a surgery, and has no known side effects. In published, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, 100% of men treated with Apira Science LLLT technology regrew hair, with an average of 35% more hair in just 4 months.”
That sounds good to me. If nothing else, it is worth a shot to keep your crown looking full and your widow’s peak from, well, peaking.
Why throw a rock?
This isn’t a fix-all miracle. It is a step in a routine to keep your hair looking and feeling great. While The Manual is really good at giving you all the best grooming products on the market, there is more you can do. The GroWell Red Light Therapy Hat is the heavy hitter in your hair treatment.
“Like combining a diet with exercise and a healthier lifestyle, the strongest hair loss results come from stacking safe, proven approaches for the benefits each one can provide: the GroWell LLLT cap alongside FDA-approved minoxidil, plus supportive supplements and hair products. That’s a complete, credible routine you can do at home. Why throw a rock when you can start an avalanche?”
