‘Tis the season for a bit of self-love, and with the New Year just around the corner, it’s high time to start thinking about how to incorporate more me-time into your daily routine. Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison is already ahead of the game, sharing a snap of herself indulging in some at-home LED therapy and captioning it: “Tis the season for self f*****g care”.
While many of us stick to the standard LED face masks for home use, Vicky has upped the ante by revealing her regular use of CurrentBody’s LED Hair Growth Helmet. This helmet operates much like an LED mask for your face, but its primary aim is to enhance your hair’s condition and boost scalp health, making it ideal for anyone dealing with hair loss or thinning.

The LED Hair Growth Helmet is a bit of a luxury – retailing at £649.99 on both the CurrentBody website and Amazon – but it’s a worthwhile investment if you’ve been having issues with your hair and scalp health recently. Plus, it comes with a four-month money-back guarantee, so if you don’t see results after using it, you can return it for a full refund.
The LED Hair Growth Helmet uses red light therapy to stimulate your hair’s follicles, improving both the thickness of your hair and the condition and hydration of your scalp to reduce redness and oiliness. With 120 red LED lights, it ensures your entire scalp is covered, and each session only takes 10 minutes. Plus, it’s portable enough that you can wear it while doing other tasks around the house, be it cleaning or reading a book.

For a more budget-friendly option, consider the Solaris Labs NY Intensive Red LED Hairband Supporting Growth, priced at just £120. It utilises both red and blue LED lights – the red light stimulates hair follicles, while the blue light soothes the scalp for stronger, healthier hair. However, it doesn’t cover the same surface area as the helmet-style device.
Alternatively, you could opt for Foreo’s FAQ 301 Bundle, currently on sale for £329. This bundle includes the FAQ 301, which features both red LED light and T-Sonic massage to stimulate your scalp, revitalise follicles and strengthen thinning hair, along with the FAQ Scalp Recovery and Thick Hair Probiotic Serum to enhance hair thickening results.
Or, if you’re after something simple and straightforward to use, the Solaris Labs NY Intensive LED Hair Growth Brush is a steal at £86. It combines gentle vibrations with LED therapy to enhance your hair routine without adding extra steps.
It also utilises 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 fantastic choice if you’re looking for a hands-free treatment that you can do at home and covers your entire head whenever you use it. Shoppers have also given it rave reviews, saying it’s helped with a variety of different hair and scalp issues, reports the Mirror.

One heartfelt testimonial revealed: “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.”
Meanwhile, another delighted user of the LED Hair Growth Helmet shared: “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?”
However, not everyone experienced such stellar results, with one disappointed customer admitting: “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 chimed in: “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.”
Yet plenty of others are absolutely smitten with the LED Hair Growth Helmet, with one enthusiast declaring: “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!”
