GroWell Cap Review: I Have Hair for the First Time in 15 Years

Article excerpt

After 15 years of shaving his head bald, a Wired reviewer tried the GroWell LED cap, a device designed to stimulate hair growth through light therapy. The cap uses red and near-infrared LEDs to allegedly trigger hair follicles, and the reviewer reports seeing visible hair regrowth for the first time in more than a decade. The device costs several hundred dollars and requires consistent, months-long use, a significant commitment for someone accustomed to complete baldness. The experience raises questions about whether the results justify the price and time investment, or whether they simply reflect the placebo effect of believing something will work.
