Vicky Pattison has shared her go-to self care device that helps to reduce ‘hormonal hair loss’ and shoppers have said it makes hair grow ‘thicker and stronger’
‘Tis the season for self care, and with the New Year creeping closer it’s time to start planning ways to introduce a little more you-time in your usual routine. Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison has already been getting into the swing of things, as she shared an image of her doing some at-home LED therapy and writing: “Tis the season for self f*****g care”.
Although most of us opt for the usual LED face masks to use at home, Vicky has taken things a step further and shared that she regularly uses CurrentBody’s LED Hair Growth Helmet. The helmet works just like an LED mask does for your face, except it’s main goal is to improve your hair’s condition, as well as boosting your scalp health, making it perfect for anyone struggling with hair loss or thinning.

The LED Hair Growth Helmet is a bit of a splurge – it’s priced at £649.99 on both the CurrentBody website and on Amazon – but it’s an investment worth making if you’ve been struggling with your hair and scalp health lately. You’ll even get a four month money-back guarantee when you buy it, so if you don’t start seeing results after using it you can return for a full refund.
It works by using red light therapy to stimulate your hair’s follicles, which help improve your hair’s thickness as well as improving the condition and hydration of your scalp to reduce redness and oiliness. There are 120 red LED lights in the LED Hair Growth Helmet to make sure it covers your entire scalp, and each session only takes 10 minutes. Plus it’s mobile enough that you can wear it whilst getting on with other things around the house, whether it’s cleaning or reading a book.
For something that won’t break the bank, you could always pick up Solaris Labs NY Intensive Red LED Hairband Supporting Growth which is just £120 and uses both red and blue LED lights. The red light stimulates hair follicles, while the blue light helps soothe the scalp for stronger and healthier hair, although it doesn’t cover the same surface area as Vicky’s helmet-style device.
You could also pick up Foreo’s FAQ 301 Bundle which is currently on sale for £329, and contains the FAQ 301 which has both red LED light and T-Sonic massage to help stimulate your scalp, revitalise follicles and strengthen thinning hair, and the FAQ Scalp Recovery and Thick Hair Probiotic Serum to enhance the hair thickening results.
Or, if you’re looking for something quick and easy to use, the Solaris Labs NY Intensive LED Hair Growth Brush is £86 and combines gentle vibrations with LED therapy to help improve your hair routine without adding in extra steps. It also uses both red and blue light, and gives your scalp a relaxing massage as you use it, helping to stimulate growth, slow hair loss, promote thicker locks, soothe irritated scalps and increase the size of hair follicles for stronger strands.
However, Vicky’s LED Hair Growth Helmet is a great option if you want a hands-free treatment that you can do at home and covers your entire head whenever you use it. Shoppers have also praised it, saying it’s helped with a myriad of different hair and scalp issues.
One touching review said: “My case is complicated because my hair loss was created by taking the breast cancer hormone blocker ********* . I had breast cancer 9 years ago and unfortunately it returned this year in March. Before I started taking ********* again I decided to invest in any preventative measures I could, which included the CurrentBody red light helmet . I decided to brush my hair over the sink each morning and take a photo so I could monitor any hair loss. I have attached a photo of my morning brush when I started using the helmet , and now, 7 months later . Currently I am not experiencing any hair loss and the hair fall in the pictures is significantly less. So I would say this demonstrates it is doing a fantastic job. I’ve recommended it to many friends and I also have the face and neck masks which are phenomenal.”
Another wrote: “I’ve been using this product for several months and my hair has definitely grown several inches, is stronger and thicker. It’s very easy to use and only takes 10 minutes. What’s not to love?”
Some found their results weren’t quite as impressive, with one saying: “I have used this everyday for 10 min from the day I received it. II have been using this now for close to 3 months and have yet to see any difference. My hair still looks the same and I still loose the same amount when I wash or comb my hair. I am still hoping for this helmet to give me positive results but to this day it has not.”
Another agreed: “I have been using my LED Hair Regrowth Helmet for 6 weeks with no results, it might be too soon for results. You wear the helmet for 10mins every day I don’t feel 10mins is long enough. Keep my fingers crossed.”
However others loved the LED Hair Growth Helmet, with one saying: “I have been using the helmet once a day for about three months, and I have already noticed a lot of new hair growth. This is especially exciting since I am on a medication that typically causes shedding. I am really happy with this purchase; this has become my favorite red light therapy brand!”
